The popular tvN weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef' is planning a special broadcast to ease the disappointment of its ending.
On the 23rd, a representative from 'The Tyrant's Chef' stated to Maeil Business Star Today, "Thanks to the love from our viewers, we are planning 'The Tyrant's Chef Special - No Retreat' with Im Yoon-a, Lee Chae-min, Kang Han-na, Oh Ui-sik, and Lee Joo-an," adding, "We will provide details such as the release platform as soon as they are finalized."
'The Tyrant's Chef' is a survival fantasy romantic comedy where chef Yeon Ji-young (played by Im Yoon-a), who time slips to the past at her best moment, meets the worst tyrant and owner of an absolute palate, King Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min).
