In the 7th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu), which aired on the 13th, Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min) rescued Colonel Sook-soo Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) from the trap of Prince Jesan (Choi Gui-hwa), the relationship between the two has grown stronger.
Yeon Ji-young left for a long way to meet Jang Chun-saeng (Ko Chang-seok), a eccentric engineer, to find a pressure cooker to use for the cooking competition. Lee Hun, who was worried about Yeon Ji-young and couldn't hide his desire to be with her, boldly joined the journey without hesitating to go a thousand miles.
In particular, Lee Hun's change to protect Yeon Ji-young from the moment of crisis even though he grumbled on a rough mountain path was exciting. As soon as he arrived at the home of the eccentric engineer, he showed a strong appearance by covering Yeon Ji-young with his own body among various new weapons. Yeon Ji-young's eyes, looking at Lee Heon's unfamiliar but reliable face, were different from before, which aroused interest.
Jang Chun-saeng, who surprised Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon with a hot initiation ceremony, rejected Yeon Ji-young's request immediately, saying that her ancestors were only used by their superiors and abandoned. Yeon Ji-young, who needed a pressure cooker to use in this competition, thinks about how to do it I tried to persuade him with food. As if Yeon Ji-young's sincere desire to make people happy by cooking and doing her favorite things that satisfy her longing for her hometown, Jang Chun-saeng made a touching impression by emphasizing that she would make a pressure cooker.
However, as the pressure cooker was completed, a new crisis came as black groups aimed at Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon appeared. A group of members of the Jesandaegun, who are trying to overtake Lee Heon to take power, sent their own people aiming for Yeon Ji-young to ruin the competition.
The master of the Ming Dynasty, Baek-ryong (Jo Jae-yoon), who overheard the fact, secretly received the news through his captors, and Lim Song-jae (Oh Si-sik) who heard the news sent reinforcements, but Jang Chun-saeng's house has already been devastated by attacks from his own guests. Lee Heon, who was left alone with Yeon Ji-young due to the continuous influx of visitors, touched the hearts of those who protected Yeon Ji-young regardless of my body being hurt.
In time, Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon were able to return to the palace as Lim Song-jae arrived with reinforcements. Despite the blood loss from the attack by his own victim, Lee Heon expressed his regret, saying that he had to suffer from unnecessary hitting by only examining Yeon Ji-young's condition. Yeon Ji-young relieved Lee Heon's heart while "It was really cool." added warmth with a thank-you note.
As such, Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon boasted a stronger relationship by overcoming the crisis together without giving in to the traps sold by the Jesandaegun. Although Lee Hun, a strong shield for Yeon Ji-young, is holding out even though he injured his hand due to the previous disturbance and does not have a secret weapon, a pressure pot lid. I wonder if Yeon Ji-young, who is supported by Lee Heon, will be able to properly show the spicy taste of Suragan in this competition.
