Lim Yoon-A, Lee Chae-Min, Kang Han-Na and Choi Gwi-Hwa participate in the Dramatic TVN series “The Tyrant’s Chef” (literal title). The fantastic and romantic dramatic series first chose actor Park Sung-Hoon in the main male role of King Lee Heon, but he resigned from his role after being involved in a controversy. He posted an explicit image of an avid video of the dramatic series Netflix “Squid Game” on his Instagram account on December 30, 2024. He deleted the image shortly after and apologized, while declaring that the publication had been carried out by mistake. The actor Lee Chae-Min is now chosen to play the main male role of King Lee Heon. Lim Yoon-A will embody the main female character Yeon Ji-Young. She is an accomplished chief, but she finds herself somehow transported to the Joseon era and ends up cooking for King Lee Heon.

“The Tyrant’s Chef” will be broadcast this year in South Korea.
