Yoon-a Lim & Chae-min Lee's Romance Heats Up Under the Moonlight in 'Chef of the Tyrant'

Tonight (20th), episode 9 of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Chef of the Tyrant' will feature a romantic date between Yoon-a Lim (as Yeon Ji-yeong) and Chae-min Lee (as Lee Heon).

As Yeon Ji-yeong and Lee Heon prepare for a culinary competition with Ming Dynasty, their bond deepens. The more time they spend together, such as exploring the market outside the palace or climbing a mountain path to find a pressure cooker, the more Yeon Ji-yeong opens her heart to Lee Heon. His act of shielding her with his own body from an assassin's attack deeply moved her.

Lee Heon apologized for causing Yeon Ji-yeong unnecessary hardship, and his sincere apology melted her heart. A different, romantic atmosphere began to develop between them, and in this episode, their romance is set to blossom further through an intimate night together.

The released stills show Yeon Ji-yeong and Lee Heon sharing a sweet conversation over tea and snacks, heightening anticipation. To soothe Yeon Ji-yeong's fatigue from the competition, Lee Heon prepares 'Wol-cha,' a special tea only available at the moonlit Unyeongjeong pavilion. Lee Heon's gaze is filled with tenderness towards Yeon Ji-yeong, adding to the excitement, and a bright smile graces Yeon Ji-yeong's face as she receives the tea personally bestowed by the King. A night full of romance awaits the two.
