Lim Yoon-ah's absorbing performance makes her more immersed in the "tyrant's chef".

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

With even the second contest ending in a draw in the 9th episode, Yeon Ji-young impressed viewers by showing her desire to protect the sincerity of her captors to the end and her determination not to bow down to the Ming Dynasty despite Lee Heon's worried recommendation to stop the competition even now.

In the third competition, Yeon Ji-young received the pressure cooker lid of Jang Chun-saeng (Ko Chang-seok), who barely arrived, completed the ogol-gye samgyetang, perfectly captivating the taste of Lee Hun and Woo Gon (Kim Hyung-mook), and gave a special award to Won Gong Won-rye (Park In-soo), a master of the Ming Dynasty, saying, "I wish I could be happy after winning and losing when he failed to taste food due to illness," and moved the hearts of the masters of the Ming Dynasty and eventually led the Suragan team to victory, creating a deep resonance.

Yeon Ji-young, who was in a flashpoint due to Woo-gon's bombshell remarks to take her as a princess and Lee Heon's head-bashing in anger, managed to overcome the crisis due to the intervention of Inju Daebi (Seo Yi-sook), but the five-gye whole chicken grilled with sincerity to Jinmyeong Daegun (Kim Kang-yoon) was caught up in the scheme of Kang Mok-ju (Kang Han-na) and Jesan Daegun (Choi Gui-hwa), raising questions about the next development.

In the process, Lim Yoon-ah clearly revealed the character's charm and power by conveying Yeon Ji-young's will, which is unbroken even in crisis, with a confident expression and a firm attitude, as well as portraying the character's charm and power with flexible and dense acting skills from the moment the pressure cooker lid does not arrive to the moment when anxiety and anxiety intersect to convey warm sincerity to the opponent's master, making viewers fully immerse themselves in the character's narrative.

On the other hand, Im Yoon-ah's brilliant work "Chef of the Tyrant" will be available every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m. on tvN.
