YoonA Lim and Chaemin Lee, who are creating "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty," showcase excellent chemistry, raising expectations.
The new tvN weekend drama "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" (directed by Jang Tae-yu, written by fGRD), which will premiere on the 23rd, is a survival fantasy romantic comedy drama in which a chef who time slips to the best moment meets the worst tyrant and a king possessing absolute taste.
YoonA Lim (playing the role of Yeon Ji-young) has established herself as an actor whom people trust, making waves across both film and drama, and the rising next-generation youth actor Chaemin Lee (playing Lee Heon) has attracted attention with their meeting. Amid this, YoonA Lim and Chaemin Lee's discussion about each other's acting chemistry has piqued curiosity.
First, YoonA Lim, who plays French chef Yeon Ji-young, noted, "Chaemin Lee has great focus, so while acting together as Lee Heon and Yeon Ji-young, we discussed the script and characters a lot and filmed comfortably. From the moment he appeared in the ceremonial robe, I thought of him as Lee Heon, and his vocal projection and concentration as a king were exceptional, which also helped me immerse myself in Yeon Ji-young."
Chaemin Lee, who plays the Young King Lee Heon, also said, "I don't think I created the character of Lee Heon alone," and added, "The senior actor was very proactive in sharing opinions, which made me interested in collaboration. They provided a lot of feedback on set, and I believe it resulted in a good character."
In particular, director Jang Tae-yu, who closely shared concerns and opinions with YoonA Lim and Chaemin Lee, expressed satisfaction, saying, "They are a visually and performatively well-matched pair." While noting that many parts are different, he also mentioned that the delicate aspects are quite similar. He added, "Both Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon are characters whose charm is difficult to express unless acted out precisely, but YoonA Lim has led well as a senior actor, and Chaemin Lee has followed along with continuous effort," increasing curiosity.
"Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" is anticipated to provide a rich enjoyment like a 12-course meal, owing to the solid synergy of YoonA Lim and Chaemin Lee. Therefore, the first broadcast of "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty," which is set to stimulate viewers' salivary glands on weekend nights with its delicious chemistry born from mutual trust and affection, is eagerly awaited. It will premiere on the 23rd at 9:10 p.m.
