Actress Hong Hwa-yeon revealed that she will be appearing in her second cooking drama through "Final Table."

The production press conference for JTBC's weekend drama "Final Table" (screenplay and directed by Kim Do-hoon) was held on the 22nd at The Link Hotel Seoul Link Hall on Gyeongin-ro in Guro-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Do-hoon, Ahn Hyo-seop, Hong Hwa-yeon, Jang Yul, and Jung Yu-jin attended.

Regarding her role as Choi Song-i in "Final Table," Hong Hwa-yeon explained, "She goes on to compete in a contest to save our restaurant, which is on the verge of closing down."

Hong Hwa-yeon said, "I have appeared in cooking-related dramas before, and at that time I played the role of a chef. This time, the character was attractive because it allowed me to show a gradually growing figure. I will show Song-i's kind, diligent, and righteous side."

Hong Hwa-yeon previously appeared as a head chef in "Your Taste," which aired on Genie TV last May.

"Final Table" is a drama depicting the spectacular food and incredible stories of Korean chefs from around the world who gather for "The Table: K Chef 2026," a competition to select the best Korean chef Lisa.

In the drama, Ahn Hyo-seop plays Kang Han, a chef trying to save the restaurant Familia, which is on the brink of closure, while Hong Hwa-yeon plays Choi Song-i, the owner of Familia. Jang Yul plays Cha Woo-jin, a strict and meticulous star chef, and Jung Yu-jin takes on the role of Seong Jeong-won, the CP (Chief Producer) who selects contestants for "The Table: K Chef 2026."

"Final Table" will air its first episode at 10:40 p.m. on the 24th. It can be watched domestically on Disney+ and overseas on Amazon Prime Video.
