Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) was sent to the palace in the second episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 『The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu), which aired on the 24th, in return for captivating the taste of tyrant Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min) with the 味 of the world.
Yeon Ji-young, who was captured by government troops and taken to Gamyeong, began preparing a full-fledged dinner to entertain Hongsa Im Song-jae (Oh Si-sik) father and son (父) who were dragging women. In addition to the lack of food ingredients, the raw meat that was barely found is so tough and strong that it does not even have a blade. As the food could not be served at dinner in this state, Yeon Ji-young came up with a sous vide technique that could soften the meat quality.
Yeon Ji-young then burned her passion by putting her hands in hot water to set the best temperature for cooking meat. Under Yeon Ji-young's instructions, Chan-mo also made a sauce using ingredients from all over the place, and thanks to everyone's efforts, a colored sous vide steak was completed.
However, even before eating, Lim Song-jae made Yeon Ji-young angry by catching all kinds of raw jokes. Their purpose was not to entertain but to drag the granddaughter of the observer to the palace. At this rate, neither the observer's granddaughter nor Yeon Ji-young, who finished the food, will be safe.
In the midst of this, the situation began to change rapidly with the appearance of Lee Heon in Gamyeong. Lee Heon said he would try Yeon Ji-young's food himself. Yeon Ji-young confidently raised the sous vide steak with confidence that Lee Hun, the owner of the absolute taste that catches the difference in fine taste, would notice his intentions.
As Yeon Ji-young expected, Lee Heon, who felt all the hidden flavors in the food, surprised everyone by giving an unexpected order to take Yeon Ji-young to the palace with a rave review of "Heilmi." While Yeon Ji-young, who was about to enter the palace, fell into panic, Lim Song-jae smiled strangely as if he was planning something new, leaving a meaningful question.
The presence of Yeon Ji-young, who was sent to the palace with a knife on his or her rope for shooting the king's taste, brought a new turmoil in the palace. In particular, Kang Mok-joo (Kang Han-na), a concubine who is favored by the king, raised tensions by giving Yeon Ji-young, who Lee Heon brought with interest.
To make matters worse, Lee Heon made Yeon Ji-young tremble by saying that he did not want to kill her finely and saying "I will hang on then, please save her." Attention is focusing on what Lee Heon will do to Yeon Ji-young and the unpredictable behavior of tyrant Lee Heon.
The 2nd episode of 『The Tyrant's Chef" aired on the same day averaged 6.5% and 8.7% for households in the metropolitan area, 6.6% for households nationwide, and 8.6% for the first episode, ranking first in cable and general programming channels at the same time. tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership is also on the rise, ranking No. 1 in all channels including terrestrial broadcasting at the same time and No. 1 in cable and general broadcasting channels in the metropolitan area.(Based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea)
