Rising Star Yoon Seo-ah Shines as Im Yoon-ah’s Loyal Ally in ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’

Actor Yoon Seo-ah is quickly gaining recognition as one of the most promising new talents in Korean drama.

Yoon Seo-ah has showcased her impressive versatility and nuanced acting skills through a string of notable roles, including appearances in JTBC’s ‘Nevertheless,’ ‘Oksibuinjeon’ (a period drama about the life of Lady Ok), and most recently, the tvN weekend drama ‘The Tyrant’s Chef.’ Her ability to fully inhabit diverse characters has made her a standout among her peers.

Currently airing on tvN, ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’ features Yoon Seo-ah as Gil-geum, the steadfast supporter of Ji-young (played by Im Yoon-ah). With her warm and relatable charm, Yoon Seo-ah brings a sense of comfort and humanity to the series. Her natural, cheerful chemistry with Im Yoon-ah has won over viewers, infusing the drama with a heartwarming energy.

Previously, in JTBC’s ‘Nevertheless,’ Yoon Seo-ah captured hearts as Seo Ji-wan, the beloved mascot of the sculpture department. Her fresh and lively portrayal, especially her on-screen friendship with Yoon-sol (played by Lee Ho-jung), brought both laughter and depth to the show.

In JTBC’s ‘Oksibuinjeon,’ Yoon Seo-ah took on the role of Baek-i, the devoted best friend of Goo-deok (played by Lim Ji-yeon). Though her character’s sudden death marked a pivotal turning point in the story, Yoon Seo-ah left a powerful impression with her brief but memorable performance.
