Lee Chae-min Draws Sword to Protect Im Yoon-a in 'The Tyrant's Chef' Episode 7

Lee Chae-min bravely stepped in to protect Im Yoon-a during a dangerous encounter.

The 7th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'The Tyrant's Chef,' aired on the 13th, depicted a perilous situation where Yeon Ji-yeong (Im Yoon-a) was attacked by assassins, and the efforts of Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min) to defend her.

Just as they received a pressure cooker from Jang Chun-saeng (Ko Chang-seok), the serene moment was shattered by the arrival of a group of assassins at Jang's residence. Realizing the imminent threat, Lee Heon grabbed Yeon Ji-yeong's hand and urged her to hide behind him, prioritizing her safety.

Despite Jang Chun-saeng managing to neutralize some assassins with his inventions, the attackers relentlessly pressed on. During the struggle, Yeon Ji-yeong injured her wrist, and the assassins even damaged the pressure cooker. Clutching the lidless pressure cooker, Yeon Ji-yeong and Lee Heon fled, only to confront the assassins again. Lee Heon, brandishing his sword, demanded to know who orchestrated the attack.

Even with a shoulder injury from a blade, Lee Heon showed remarkable resilience, stating, "Don't make a fuss. I won't die." At that critical moment, Im Song-jae (Oh Eui-sik) appeared, rescuing them from the dire situation. Overwhelmed by the shocking events, Yeon Ji-yeong collapsed, and Lee Heon looked on with deep concern.
