tvN’s upcoming drama “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has shared a new glimpse of Girls’ Generation’s YoonA in her starring role!

Based on a popular web novel, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a fantasy romance drama starring YoonA as Yeon Ji Young, an award-winning French chef who winds up traveling 500 years back into the past. There, she meets despotic king Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min), who is known as the worst of tyrants—and who also happens to be a discerning gourmet.

Newly released stills from the upcoming drama capture Yeon Ji Young in the present day. A confident and talented chef who reigns over the kitchen at a three-star restaurant. Yeon Ji Young is full of passion, curiosity, and pride when it comes to her cooking. As a consummate professional with laser focus in the kitchen, Yeon Ji Young masterfully handles every aspect of her dishes, delivering not only taste but also a spectacular fire show and artful plating.

The drama’s production team remarked, “In order to play the role of Yeon Ji Young, Lim YoonA made lots of effort in a wide variety of ways, such as [learning] how to prep ingredients and plate dishes. Lim YoonA transformed into her character so convincingly that while we were filming, people often said on set that ‘she has nimble hands.’ Please look forward to her performance.”
