*This article contains content related to the drama's story. Lee Che Min was half in doubt about the words that Girls' Generation's YoonA came from the future. In the third episode of tvN's weekend drama 'The Chef of the Tyrant', broadcast on the 30th in Korea, King Lee Hong (Lee Che Min) repeatedly tasted the new dish of Yong Ji Yong (YoonA) and began to believe her words of coming from the future. Lee Hong was once again captivated by Ji Yong's deer steak dish and appointed her as the court chef. Meanwhile, every time Ji Yong was asked about her cooking secret, she honestly answered that she was a person from the future, raising doubts about her sanity. Kang Mok Joo (Kang Hanna) learned that Lee Hong's heart was directed towards Ji Yong and visited the Grand Queen Dowager (Seo Isuk) to set a trap together. The Grand Queen Dowager ordered a cooking competition between Ji Yong and the previous chefs, threatening that if Ji Yong lost, her arm would be cut off. Upon learning this fact, Lee Hong visited the Grand Queen Dowager and defended Ji Yong, saying, 'She is mine,' and asked, 'If other chefs lose in the competition, will their arms also be cut off? As the Grand Dowager says, we should just win, so the rules should be fair. Except for the winning chef, everyone must offer one arm.' This escalated the situation. Ji Yong, though nervous, murmured to herself, 'I have no choice but to prove myself,' while Lee Hong hinted at his growing trust in Ji Yong by saying, 'If it is true that you came from the future, show me. Your own unique dish.'
