Girls’ Generation member YoonA is winning hearts in Korea and around the world with her powerful acting in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.
The tvN weekend drama (directed by Jang Tae Yoo / written by fGRD) tells the story of a top chef who suddenly travels back in time and meets a ruthless king with a perfect sense of taste, leading to a unique survival fantasy romantic comedy.
With exciting plot twists, stylish directing, and amazing performances, the series has been reaching new record ratings every week and getting explosive reactions from viewers.
The success doesn’t stop in Korea. After ranking #1 in Gallup Korea’s September 2025 survey of “Favorite TV Programs Among Koreans,” the drama also reached #1 for two weeks in a row on Netflix Tudum’s official Global TOP10 TV (Non-English) chart."
They added, "At the center of all this is YoonA, who plays French chef Yun Ji Young. Viewers have been praising her for showing delicate but strong acting, with one comment saying she has become “Yun Ji Young herself.”
Her detailed expressions and emotions have made the drama even more engaging for fans.
To perfect her role, YoonA prepared months before filming began. She learned directly from real chefs, practiced cooking every day, and even carried out knife work and plating on her own during filming.
Thanks to her effort, she used very few stand-ins, making her performance even more real and convincing.
