In the 8th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu), which aired on the 14th, it showed the essence of a gourmet fantasy romantic comedy that fascinated the world by stimulating the mouth of those who saw it as unusual foods presented by Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) and Dang Baek-ryong (Cho Jae-yoon).
Finally, as the curtain rose on the cooking competition between the two countries, the Suagan monks, led by Yeon Ji-young, and the Ming masters, led by Dang Baek-ryong, quickly immersed themselves in their respective dishes. Thanks to the war of nerves between Yeon Ji-young, who catches the eye with her proprietary Flambé, and Abisu (Moon Seung-yu), who presents a hot fire show, the heat at the competition site gradually heated up like a rising fire.
Yeon Ji-young's fusion dish, which combines braised short ribs and beef bourguignon, opened the eyes of King Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min) and Ming's eunuch (Kim Hyung-mook), who were in charge of judging. The sweet aroma and taste of rice bran, and soft preferential ribs are combined to give the world a 味 of heaven and earth. The storytelling of Yeon Ji-young, who had always imagined what it would be like if her late mother made beef bourguignon, made everyone in the competition eat.
On the other hand, Abisu introduced an account using a new seasoning called Rayu, showing the essence of intense taste to Lee Heon and Wugon. However, since Rayu was a seasoning that could not be made without using red pepper powder, Yeon Ji-young raised questions about the ingredients and caused the scene to tremble. Even the shock doubled as it was revealed that the person who passed the red pepper powder was Jesandaegun (Choi Gui-hwa), the manufacturer of the saongwon.
Lee Hun, who was watching the situation, announced the draw taking into account the circumstances of the two captains, and ended the situation, but increased the tension of the confrontation by offering the advantage of winning the Ming Dynasty if all three contests ended in a draw. In addition, Kang Mok-joo (Kang Han-na), who called in the suragan defender Maeng Man-soo (Hong Jin-ki) before the second competition, urged him to lose on purpose, foreshadowing a tough competition.
However, Maeng Man-soo was also Suragan's master, so he could not give up the competition as it is. Maeng Man-soo, who has given Seo Gil-geum (Yoon Seo-ah) harsh training, handed over the knife to Seo Gil-geum on the pretext of injury in the second competition, and the second dish, Beijing duck roll, was born thanks to the teamwork of the suragan nuns.
Unlike Suragan's Peking duck, which attracted appetite with its strong and sharp taste, the Ming Dynasty presented fresh and deep temple food. Lee Heon and Wugon, who were moved by Peking duck, which stimulates the taste quickly and accurately like a sword dance, and lotus leaf rice, which left a fragrant aftertaste like a giant lotus, even shed tears, making them even more curious about the taste. I wonder who will be the winner between the Suragan and the Ming masters who served the polar food.
On the other hand, throughout the competition, sabotage against Yeon Ji-young and Suragan also continued, sparking anger from viewers. Kang Mok-ju (Kang Han-na), who is aiming for an opportunity to destroy Lee Heon, and Kang Mok-ju (Kang Han-na), who is united in jealousy of Yeon Ji-young, extended their magic. Yeon Ji-young and Suragan's captains are paying attention to whether they can defeat their black hands and build Suragan's self-esteem.
The 8th episode of 『The Tyrant's Chef" aired on this day broke its own record with an average of 15.8% and 18.1% for households in the metropolitan area, 15.4% for households nationwide and 17.4% for all channels, including terrestrial broadcasting. tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership also broke its own highest ratings by averaging 5.5% and 6.6% in the Seoul metropolitan area, 5.8% on national average and 6.7% on national average, and swept the top spot in all channels at the same time.
