Oh Eui-sik Cheers On Im Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-min's Love Line, Hints at Royal Affection

Actor Oh Eui-sik has ignited the romance between Im Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-min in the latest episode of tvN's "Chef of the Tyrant."

In the 7th episode aired on the 13th, viewers saw Yeon Ji-young (played by Im Yoon-ah) preparing for a competition. To find Jang Chun-saeng (Go Chang-seok), a descendant of Jang Yeong-sil, she embarked on a journey with Im Song-jae (Oh Eui-sik).

When Yeon Ji-young showed an obsession with finding the "Mang-un-rok," Im Song-jae advised her, "Stop fussing, the King has promised to find it for you." He then probed, "Do you still wish to return so badly?" adding, "It seems the King has grown quite fond of you. Watching you and the King these days, I wonder if I'll end up addressing you formally, Your Highness, Ji-young-mama."

Yeon Ji-young dismissed his words, "Stop with the strange talk," but Im Song-jae encouraged her, "Instead, why not seize this opportunity to win the King's heart for good?"

Just then, Lee Heon (Ahn Jae-wook) appeared. Seeing Yeon Ji-young and Im Song-jae together, he became visibly jealous. Ultimately, Lee Heon decided to accompany Yeon Ji-young to find Jang Chun-saeng himself, replacing Im Song-jae.

Upon arriving at Jang Chun-saeng's house, the two mistook the sound of a puffed rice cake machine for a bomb, leading to a comical situation where they hid. During this, Lee Heon embraced Yeon Ji-young protectively and later draped his clothes over her while she slept, gazing at her with deep affection, indicating their growing closeness.
