'MIDZY BOBAE' Lim Yoon-ah continues to play global roles.

Lim Yoon-ah has captivated viewers with her wide acting spectrum and charm by appearing as French chef Yeon Ji-young, who has time-slipped into the past at the best moment in tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu).

In particular, Lim Yoon-ah not only convincingly expressed the feelings and circumstances of the growing character in the new environment, but also added her unique natural humor to make the work more fun and rich.




Above all, it maximizes the appeal of the romantic comedy genre by naturally connecting the flow of emotions from the moment when they met tyrant Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min) and clashed with each other to the process of understanding each other and building trust.

In response, "Chef of the Tyrant" recorded the highest ratings among miniseries aired this year with 17.4% in the Seoul metropolitan area, up to 20%, national 17.1% and up to 19.4% (based on Nielsen Korea), and ranked No. 1 in the Netflix Global TOP10 TV (non-English) category for two consecutive weeks (based on Netflix's official ranking website To Doom), realizing the explosive interest of viewers around the world.

In addition, at the global luxury beauty brand event held in Bangkok on the 1st, it drew attention with its sophisticated styling and elegant attitude, and formed a cloud crowd with fans who filled the venue early on, proving again that it is an artist with high brand power.
