Yoona Minimizes Stand-Ins in Drama Cooking Scenes



Lim Yoon-ah's efforts to minimize the stand-in in "Chef of a Tyrant" shone. After that, there was the power of Chef Shin Jong-chul, who was in charge of cooking advice.

Lim Yoon-ah, the main character of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" which is popular enough to exceed 20% of viewership, built up basic skills by learning Korean and French cuisine for three months to express Yeon Ji-young, a talented chef who won a French cooking competition. As a result, it is said that viewers were able to increase their immersion by cooking themselves without using hand bands even in actual filming. The help of Chef Shin Jong-chul, who appeared in the entertainment program 'The boss's ears are donkey ears', played a major role in this.

Chef Shin Jong-chul recently met with Sports Chosun and praised Lim Yoon-ah loudly, saying, `She was really good. I thought this drama would be a big hit just by watching it" he opened his mouth. I've worked with celebrities a lot, but I've never seen anyone this good. He tasted it well and cut it well. In addition, even though it's the first time, he knows how to season well and does it properly. Ideas are good and smart. Creativity, creativity, and ideas are important these days, but they have everything."




In fact, chefs from the restaurant went to the scene for the hands-on, but Lim Yoon-ah rarely appeared because she cooked most of the dishes herself. Chef Shin Jong-chul "He has a great passion. Hand band??I found a similar hand while comparing a few hands on the door, but in reality, I didn't do anything even though I went to the scene in the stand-in. Lim Yoona did it herself"Even if Im Yoon-ah is actually a chef, she will adapt quickly. There is a high possibility. He raised his thumb, saying, "A coveted talent."

"The Tyrant's Chef" is a fantasy survival romance of more than 500 years as a time-slip French chef meets the king, the worst tyrant and best gourmet. Im Yoon-ah showed amazing cooking skills by playing Yeon Ji-young in the play, increasing viewers' immersion. In response, 'Chef of the Tyrant' is airing amid interest, with viewership soaring to 15.8% ahead of the end of the show. (National standard for paid households in Nielsen Korea)
