Chef Lim Yoon-ah ♥ Tyrant Lee Chaemin..The tyrant's chef offers a different taste



The story of French chef Lim Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-min unfolds.

tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu) is a survival fantasy romantic comedy drama that takes place when a time-slip chef meets the king, the worst tyrant and the owner of an absolute taste. Ahead of the first broadcast in August, the chef and tyrant posters and the first Sura posters are released, heralding a special meeting between chef Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) and Wang Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min).

First of all, it draws attention with the contrast between Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon, who will skip the long years in the poster of the first sura and meet in the same era. Yeon Ji-young's white chef's uniform, which is devoted to cooking with a confident smile, forms a sense of alienation in the middle of Suragan where the succincts are busy running between the basket of ingredients and the complex of seasoning.




Below the poster is Lee Hun sitting on a brilliant throne. Like the phrase "'Let's prepare the best surasang that even the tyrant will never forget in his life, let's prepare for the surasang that is full of various kinds of mountaineering beauty.'" Food that boasts a subtle combination of Korean food and Western food stimulates mouthwatering.

On the other hand, the chef and tyrant posters released together show a closer look at Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon's inner thoughts. 'I've been dreaming of becoming a chef... The phrase 'I became the chef of a tyrant today' suggests how Yeon Ji-young feels when she suddenly fell into the suragan of the past.

On the other hand, Lee Heon reveals the dignity of the tyrant with a cutthroat threat of 'Dan! If it is not to my taste, I will face extreme punishment. Yeon Ji-young, who has become the `Chef of the Tyrant,' is paying attention to whether she can satisfy the tricky taste of Wang Yi-heon, who is extremely sensitive to taste.




In this way, "The Tyrant's Chef" will satisfy the viewers' five senses by depicting the unique relationship between a chef who has to prepare a feast for survival and a gourmet king who holds the life of such a chef in his hand. Expectations are high for the delicious chemistry that the chef, who has to risk his life to make food, and the taste-friendly king will make together.

The production team of "Chef of the Tyrant" said, "Just as ingredients with different tastes come together to create delicious harmony, the synergy between Yeon Ji-young who lived in modern times and Lee Heon who lived in the past will provide a different taste." We are working hard to make a drama like soul food that comfort the viewers' souls and enhance their taste. Please look forward to it," he said.

tvN's new Saturday drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" will premiere in August, where chef Lim Yoon-ah's fusion cooking event will be held to impress the fearsome tyrant Lee Chae-min.
