Yoon-a Im Drives 'King of Tyrant' to New Ratings High with Captivating Performance

Actress Yoon-a Im has once again propelled the tvN drama 'King of Tyrant' to its highest viewership ratings with her versatile and compelling acting.

Im portrays Yeon Ji-young, a French chef who time-slips to the past and encounters a tyrannical king, Lee Heon (played by Chae-min Lee). In the latest episode (Episode 10), she passionately intervened to stop King Lee Heon's descent into further tyranny while falsely accused and imprisoned.

As Yeon Ji-young gradually opened her heart to King Lee Heon's affections, she was deeply moved watching his solitary 'Cheoyong dance' performed just for her. Responding to his sincere confession of wanting her as his companion with a kiss, she filled the viewers' homes with romantic excitement.
