Im Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-min Seek Out Eccentric Inventor for Crucial Cooking Competition!

In the upcoming 7th episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Chef of the Tyrant,' set to air today (13th), Im Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-min embark on a quest to find a way to defeat the Ming dynasty chefs.

Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) and Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min) will visit the eccentric inventor Jang Chun-saeng (Ko Chang-seok) to create a secret weapon – a special cooking tool – essential for their victory.

Previously, Lee Heon accepted a culinary challenge proposed by the greedy Ming eunuch Woo Gon, which involved a cooking competition with chefs from various nations, tied to tribute conditions. This competition held a hidden plot by the faction led by Prince Jesan (Choi Gwi-hwa) targeting Lee Heon. A loss would mean significant concessions to the Ming dynasty, prompting Lee Heon to urge Yeon Ji-young to secure a win at all costs.

Meanwhile, Royal Head Chef Yeon Ji-young is spurred on by the disrespectful actions of Abi-su (Moon Seung-yu), a Ming dynasty chef who belittles the royal kitchen. Having previously won an international cooking competition before her time-slip, anticipation is high to see if Yeon Ji-young can showcase her spicy culinary skills against these seasoned masters.

In this high-stakes match, where not only the nation's fate but also a chef's pride is on the line, Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon venture outside the palace to meet with the inventor. They decide to commission Jang Chun-saeng, a reclusive genius residing deep in the mountains. However, revealed stills show a dramatic first encounter, with Jang Chun-saeng immediately pointing a cannon, showing no pleasantries and barring their entry. This aggressive reception triggers the temper of the 'tyrant' Lee Heon, raising concerns, while Yeon Ji-young also wears a displeased expression. All eyes are on whether the duo can persuade Jang Chun-saeng to secure the vital cooking tool.

The 7th episode of tvN's 'Chef of the Tyrant,' featuring the standoff between Im Yoon-ah, Lee Chae-min, and Ko Chang-seok across a cannon's muzzle, airs tonight at 9:10 PM.

Im Yoon-ah, a member of the iconic K-pop group Girls' Generation, has also built a successful acting career.

She has showcased her versatility in various dramas and films, including 'The King in Love' and 'Big Mouth'.

Her global popularity is a testament to her captivating visuals and consistent acting performances.
