On the afternoon of the 19th, a production presentation for tvN's new Saturday-Sunday drama "Chef of the Tyrants" (directed by Jang Tae-yu) was held at the St. in Sindorim D-Cube City, Guro-gu, Seoul. The production presentation was attended by Im Yoon-ah as head chef Yeon Ji-young of the three-star Michelin restaurant in Paris, Lee Chae-min as Yeonhui-gun Lee Heon, Choi Gui-hwa as Lee Heon's uncle Jesan Dae-gun, Seo Yi-sook as Lee Heon's grandmother Inju Dae-bi, Oh Eui-sik as Lee Heon's sister Princess Hwi Sook's booma Do Seung-ji Im Song-jae, and producer Jang Tae-yu.
Lim Yoon-ah chose the subject of "Chef of the Tyrants" because the subject of "cooking" was very interesting. I was always interested in cooking, but I was more interested in meeting him in a drama. I liked the hopeful character who goes back to the past, constantly pioneers new environments, and runs toward his dreams. I chose this piece because I was fascinated by the honest, bold, and wise chef."
He went to a cooking academy three months before he started his work. I learned everything from the preparation of ingredients. Also, I learned a lot from him because there was a cooking teacher who advised me on the drama. Certainly, the professional terminology of the cook I used to do as a hobby came into my ears and I got used to it. Cutting is still difficult though. I think there's a difference in skills compared to before learning how to cook"I was confident.
