She has received positive feedback both in Korea and abroad for her role as Jiyeong. In the drama, Yeong Jiyeong, the winner of a French cooking competition, suddenly travels back in time to an unfamiliar era, but her outstanding cooking skills and determination make her a hero.
She is a character with a unique personality who survives with her quick wit and the ability to turn crises into opportunities. Yuna is firmly supporting the center of the TV series and drawing attention with her unique dynamic expressiveness even in extreme situations.
Furthermore, she has also added natural comedic acting skills, completing the romantic comedy genre. Yoona has appeared in many dramas such as "Confidential," "EXIT," and "Kindness."
Even if we acknowledge that his comic acting in "The Land of the Dead" is obvious at first glance, there are clear signs of his efforts to present a differentiated performance for this work.
Above all, Yuna made meticulous efforts to perfect her acting, even attending cooking classes before filming began and receiving advice from actual chefs.
In the French cooking competition scene, he also prepared thoroughly and delivered the long lines in French fluently, drawing favorable reviews.
At the production presentation, the reason for casting Yoona was explained, "She must have experience in period dramas, and also have a sharp image that makes her look like a chef when cooking.
It was not a TV series that an average actor could play, and I wondered if there really was an actor who could do it, but I had hope that if there really was someone who wanted to do it, it would be someone like actor Yoona.
It was as if by chance or fate that we ended up working together on this project, and he prepared very diligently. It was surprising how many parts he personally handled."
Park Gook-jae, the writer of the original web novel "Tyrant's Chef," also wrote on social media, "I can't think of anyone more suitable for the role of Yeon Ji-yeong than actress Yoona."
As proof of her success, Yoona was ranked as one of the top 100 in the Hot Topic rankings by Good Data Corporation FUNdex.
In August, the drama ranked first in the sex category of the general TV cast for the third week in a row, and "Tyrant Chef" also ranked first in the sex category of the TV-OTT TV series, simultaneously achieving the highest viewership rating of any tvN Saturday/Sunday TV series premiere this year.
Following this, it was ranked 1st in the top 10 Netflix series in 42 overseas regions and in the top 10 in 93 regions according to Freak Patrol, a global OTT ranking aggregation site.
Meanwhile, "Tyrant Chef," which continues to garner anticipation for Yoona's diverse charms, is broadcast every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 PM on tvN.
