'The Tyrant's Chef' Im Yoon-a faces the wrath of Empress Dowager Shin Eun-jung.

In the tvN weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' (written by fGRD, directed by Jang Tae-yoo), the story of Chief Chef Yeon Ji-young (played by Im Yoon-a) getting slapped by Empress Dowager Ja-hyun (played by Shin Eun-jung) will be revealed.

Since entering the palace as a ghostly woman (鬼女), Yeon Ji-young has been living each day on the edge. She has been competing with senior chefs for the position of chief chef and engaging in fierce cooking competitions with chefs from the Ming Dynasty who have come as emissaries.

In particular, the schemes of Chef Kang Mok-joo (played by Kang Han-na) and Prince Je-san (played by Choi Gwi-hwa) have intensified, putting her life at risk from assassins. However, Yeon Ji-young is overcoming the malicious gazes directed at her and solidifying her position as chief chef, garnering support from many.

Meanwhile, a fierce atmosphere surrounding Yeon Ji-young is detected in the released photos. She is captured being slapped by Empress Dowager Ja-hyun on a dark night. Yeon Ji-young's expression, unable to hide her surprise, piques curiosity.

On the other hand, the gaze of Empress Dowager Ja-hyun towards Yeon Ji-young is filled with an unprecedented anger, heightening the tension. Furthermore, it is expected that the chefs in the royal kitchen will also tremble under her harsh orders, drawing even more attention. What exactly happened between Yeon Ji-young and Empress Dowager Ja-hyun is raising curiosity.

You can check out Im Yoon-a's daily crises and another hardship on 'The Tyrant's Chef', airing on the 20th at 9:10 PM.
