Another crisis came to Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) and Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min), who were enjoying sweet peace after a fierce cooking competition, in the 9th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu).
After the second cooking contest with the Ming Dynasty, Yeon Ji-young headed to the pavilion where the moonlight fell due to Lee Heon's call. Lee Heon prepared a warm tea to comfort and praise Yeon Ji-young, who struggled to compete. There was a different atmosphere in the eyes of the two, who were enjoying their relaxation for the first time in a long time.
In particular, Lee Heon's telling Yeon Ji-young not to get hurt again made me guess the depth of affection in his heart. Yeon Ji-young also relieved Lee Heon's burden by saying, `I will win somehow,' in response to Lee Heon's sincerity that he could bow down for Yeon Ji-young even though he was in the position of the king.
Encouraged by Lee Heon's support, Yeon Ji-young won the final cooking contest. After a good competition, the captains of the two countries gave each other a warm finish by thanking each other. In addition, Woogon's stubborn behavior, which insisted on taking Yeon Ji-young as a gongnyeo, was also overwhelmed at once by angry Lee Heon's head-to-head attack and correspondence from Inju's Daebi (Seo Yi-sook), creating a thrilling catharsis.
Lee Heon presented a new suzerain suit to Colonel Sook-soo Yeon Ji-young, who protected the country with courage, and secretly said, `It's a good place to eat suras with you.' Lee Hun's friendly smile at Yeon Ji-young, who was happy with the unexpected gift, sparked excitement.
As Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon's hearts grew closer in the wake of the competition, another dark cloud hung over the future of the two. Kang Mok-ju (Kang Han-na) and Jesan Dae-gun (Choi Gui-hwa), who failed to destroy Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon, made viewers angry by using unknown medicinal materials to harm Jinmyeong Dae-gun, who is still young, and to blame Yeon Ji-young for this crime.
As planned by Kang Mok-ju, Jin Myung-dae, who ate grilled ogol chicken made by Yeon Ji-young, collapsed, and there was a cool war clouds in the palace. Ja-hyun Dae-bi (Shin Eun-jung), who is on the verge of losing her only son, was angry and surprised viewers by saying that she would confess Yeon Ji-young herself. Since hurting the royal family is a felony that cannot be forgiven in any case, attention is focused on how Yeon Ji-young, who faced the all-time crisis, will overcome the situation.
On the other hand, Lee Heon, who did not know this in his dreams, red pepper powder and red pepper paste, waited for Yeon Ji-young at Jangwonseo to redouble his sadness. I wonder how Lee Heon will react after hearing the news of Yeon Ji-young's torture.
