Lee Chae-min's Tyrannical Chef Precariously Teeters on Madness, Confessing Love Amidst Growing Chaos

The tvN weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' has viewers on the edge of their seats as Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min) teeters on the brink of emotional collapse.

In the episode aired on the 21st, viewers witnessed Lee Heon confessing his affections to Yeon Ji-yeong (played by Hong Ye-ji). He expressed his sincere feelings, saying, "Be my companion," and offered her handmade rice along with a ring.

Yeon Ji-yeong reciprocated Lee Heon's sincerity with a kiss. However, the moment of happiness was short-lived. The subsequent preview revealed a terrifying scene of Lee Heon, clad in blood-stained attire, wielding a sword in a fit of madness. Caught in what appears to be a trap set by Je-san Daegun (played by Choi Gwi-hwa), Lee Heon declared, "I will set everything right today," foreshadowing his tyrannical rampage.

With Yeon Ji-yeong facing abduction and Je-san Daegun announcing the revelation of everything using the former queen's blood-stained garment, the narrative is escalating towards a crisis. Viewers are keenly anticipating how Lee Heon's descent into madness and Yeon Ji-yeong's kidnapping will intertwine, leading the story to its dramatic climax.

Lee Chae-min, born in 2000, debuted in the drama 'High Class' in 2021. He subsequently made memorable appearances in 'Blue Birthday' and 'Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow.' 'The Tyrant's Chef' marks his first leading role in a historical drama, showcasing a significant acting transformation.
