Yunhyunseok (Hyunseok) of CIX is expanding his acting horizons in ‘My Little Chef’, captivating viewers with a surprising twist in his charm.
Now growing as a global acting-dol, Yunhyunseok has built a high-tension narrative of obsession alongside Lee Na-eun.
In ‘My Little Chef’, which premiered on May 14 via the short-form drama OTT platform Vigloo, Yunhyunseok plays the role of Doyun, drawing viewers in with his detailed character expression.
‘My Little Chef’ is based on a game of the same name and follows Choi Noma (played by Lee Na-eun), a fallen heir to a food conglomerate, as she grows into a leader through cooking competitions. Doyun, played by Hyunseok, is Noma’s former classmate from cooking school. While he consistently supports and cheers for Noma, he eventually reveals a chilling side that ramps up the tension.
In the series, Yunhyunseok intensely portrays a twisted obsession hidden behind pure love. Doyun shows his sweet side by fighting off malicious commenters for Noma and giving her homemade pudding when she is upset over a loss. However, he also displays a creepy side, obsessively gathering information and investigating those around Noma to win her heart.
Hyunseok also gives a multi-dimensional performance as Doyun’s inner turmoil reaches an extreme. As Noma and Taewoo (played by Choi Bo-min) grow closer, Doyun does not hesitate to cross the line, even intentionally injuring his hand to bleed and orchestrating calculated schemes for a shocking twist.
Yunhyunseok has been steadily building his career as an actor through various dramas, starting with ‘Falling in Love with a Gangster’, followed by ‘The World You’re Missing’, ‘The Chairman is Grade 9’, ‘The Youngest Son of the Prime Minister’s House’s First Love’, ‘Probability of Meeting Romance on a Trip Season 3.5’, and ‘Me, Me and Me’.
He proved his stable acting skills by challenging himself with a historical drama in ‘The Youngest Son of the Prime Minister’s House’s First Love’, which was released in Japan last year via the global short-drama platform Kanta, officially leaping forward as a ‘global acting-dol’. With his latest transformation in ‘My Little Chef’, expectations for his future acting journey are higher than ever.
‘My Little Chef’, starring Yunhyunseok, premiered on Vigloo and will be released sequentially on other platforms, including DramaBox.
