'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' star Kim Hyungmook, who plays the role of Chinese Emperor's envoy Yu Kun, reveals his Chinese practice notebook

 

'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.' The role of the Chinese Emperor's envoy Yu Kun. These are parts of my Chinese study notes and audio recordings. A record of a total of 40 days given to me, excluding time for performances, films, and filming schedule. Due to scheduling issues, I began memorizing Chinese lines two weeks before the filming of the drama. I know it's far from perfect, but please see it kindly🙏 I'll cherish these as a memory. I'll greet you all again in a new project soon!

-Whoa, that's insane... I hope he was paid well for this. They could've just used dubbing, thoughㅜ With that level of study, he could probably pass a Chinese proficiency test.

-That is impressive. His passion is amazing.

-That's amazing... He looks like he'll succeed at anything he does.

-I have this thing where I tear up when I see stuff like thisㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ His passion is insane.

-Whoa........... That is seriously so cool. Wow.........👍👍👍

-As someone who lived in China for a few years, I can say that learning that much in such a short time is not easy at all. For anyone trying to learn Chinese, spending the first month in China to get the feel of it really helps.

-I don't speak Chinese, so I naturally thought his voice was dubbedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That's so cool. Not to mention that his lines were long too. That's amazing.

-Whoa... That's incredible. I seriously thought he was Chinese.

-Huh????? That wasn't dubbed????? Whoa.. I had no idea. I totally thought it was dubbed;;;

-I've seen him in other works. He always gives his all in every role he taeks.

-Because of that effort, he shines as an actor!

-I thought he was someone who spoke Chinese well. That's impressive.

-Even putting the pronunciation aside, just memorizing that many lines is something I already consider amazing.

-Whoa... To put in so much effort for the drama and his character... He's so cool and amazing.
