Actor Moon Seung-yu heightened the drama's tension with delicate emotional expressions.
Moon Seung-yu appeared as Abisu, a Ming dynasty head cook, in episode 8 of tvN Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, which aired on the 14th, and faced off in a culinary competition between Joseon and the Ming dynasty. In this episode, Moon Seung-yu convincingly conveyed Abisu's complex backstory by moving between cooking performances and tearful acting, further enhancing the character's dimensionality.
Abisu, who went out as the first contestant in the cooking contest, revealed a fierce competitive spirit by presenting Sichuan-style gongbao chicken on the theme of meat dishes never seen before. But it was revealed that the secret seasoning lard oil (chili oil) had been made from red pepper powder that the Joseon cooks had prepared as an ingredient.
In response, Abisu was scolded for his qualifications as a chef by the executioner Dang Baek-ryong (played by Jo Jae-yoon) and welled up in tears, but he acknowledged his mistake to Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) and apologized, showing a grown attitude.
Moon Seung-yu has drawn viewers' attention since episode 5 in the role of Abisu. Following his intense demeanor of checking the Joseon cooks with martial arts and cooking, he brings vitality to the work by portraying Abisu as a Ming dynasty cook who acknowledges his mistakes and grows and learns one step at a time.
Moon Seung-yu debuted in 2018 with the short films Black Flower and Button, and has taken on characters across genres in KBS1 dramas such as drama Sokado Kkumgyeol, MBC Gold Spoon, KBS2 My Heart Skips a Beat, and MBC Flower That Blooms at Night.
