Lim Yoon-ah's elegant acting variation once again drove the highest ratings of "The Tyrant's Chef".

Im Yoon-ah is playing the role of French chef Yeon Ji-young, who time-slip into the past at the best moment in tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu) and met the worst tyrant and absolute taste holder, Wang Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min).

In the 10th episode, Yeon Ji-young, who was framed and trapped in the prison, sincerely stopped Lee Heon, who was driven into a tyrant in anger, and struggled to get to the bottom of it after he got the chance to prove his innocence with the help of Inju Daebi (Seo Yi-sook), the king of the state, and caused tension.




In the meantime, Yeon Ji-young discovered that Oryeongji, found in the medicine Jinmyeong-daegun (Kim Kang-yoon), becomes a deadly poison when it meets ginseng, and carefully prepared a Joseon-style restaurant, a health food, for Jinmyeong-daegun, who causes the game even if he takes antidote, and finally restored Jinmyeong-daegun and made everyone feel relieved.

In addition, Yeon Ji-young, who had been slowly opening her heart to Lee Heon's courtship, shed tears at an unknown emotion as she watched Cheoyongmu dancing only for her that night, and colored the small screen with excitement in response to Lee Heon's sincere confession and kiss to be a companion.

Above all, Im Yoon-ah has firmly established her position as an actor who believes in and takes control of both ratings and popularity in three consecutive dramas, from 'Big Mouse' and 'Kingderland' and 'Chef of the Tyrant', while expanding the genre area in a variety of ways, and at the same time, her broad acting spectrum, which embodies a completely different tone every time even in brightness, makes her look forward to her future transformation even more.
