Yeo Jin-goo has offered a sneak peek into his new role as Chef Eun Kye-hoon in tvN's upcoming fantasy romance series, "Link: Eat, Love, Kill."

"I was drawn to how the series incorporates appealing elements from different genres, such as a romantic comedy, mystery, cooking and drama," the actor said in a recent written interview released by the TV network. "The role of Eun Kye-hoon is unique and refreshing, so I decided to take on the role in 'Link.'"

The new romance series revolves around a phenomenon between a man, Eun (Yeo), and a woman, Noh Da-hyun (Moon Ga-young), whose feelings are connected to share the same emotions.

Eun runs a restaurant in a small town where his twin sister went missing about 20 years ago. Noh is an optimistic and kind woman who has been struggling to get a job. She finally gets to work at Eun's restaurant, which leads to the strange phenomenon between them.

The chef finds himself going through different emotions which eventually turn out to be simultaneously stimulated by Da-Hyun's feelings.

The series is led by director Hong Jong-chan, whose previous works include the hit romance series, "The Master's Sun" (2013), and Netflix's recent legal drama series, "Juvenile Justice," and is co-written by Kwon Ki-young who is known for scripting the 2017 romance series, "Suspicious Partner," and a newcomer, Kwon Do-hwan.

Yeo said that he was drawn to the series' concept of being connected through emotions.

"The character gets connected with someone else's feelings all of a sudden. And although that uniqueness about this person felt difficult to approach, it felt interesting," he said.

"The link phenomenon is a crucial part of Eun and the series itself. So the director, writer and I discussed (portraying) it a lot before filming. Throughout the story, the phenomenon is used to show comedy to deep drama, so I tried to portray my character with flexibility."

The actor also shared that he learned from an actual chef to show professional cooking skills in the series.

"Cooking is my hobby, but for this role, cooking is a profession. So I got help from a real chef to learn skills like using a knife, handling pans and learned how I should be acting around the kitchen and at the restaurant in general," he said.

He lastly hinted that the series will incorporate a variety of genres.

"We are trying our best to make this series a unique one with the tastes and smells of a variety of genres, he said.

"Link: Eat, Love, Kill" is scheduled to premiere on June 6 and will air Mondays and Tuesdays on tvN at 10:30 p.m.
