*This article contains content related to the drama's story. The book that sent the girl group member Yuna back in time was written by Lee Che-min. In the fourth episode of tvN's weekend drama 'The Tyrant's Chef', which aired in Korea yesterday (31st), Lee Hong (Lee Che-min) hears about Wangunrok from Yong Jiyoung (Yuna) and names his diary 'Wangunrok'. Yong Jiyoung tells Lee Hong, 'No matter how many times I talk about it, you don't seem to believe me, but I really came from the future. I think I can prove it if I find the lost bag.' When Lee Hong asks, 'Are you talking about the bag I dropped off the cliff?', Yong Jiyoung replies, 'In that bag is a book called Wangunrok. If you find that book, you will believe my words.' When Lee Hong questions, 'What kind of book is Wangunrok?', Yong Jiyoung explains, 'If my thoughts are correct, it is the book that brought me here. It's time travel. It's a magical book that brought me here from the future.' In response, Lee Hong says, 'I understand. If you can predict my future correctly, I will believe you. I will mobilize soldiers to search for the bag.' Yong Jiyoung advises him, 'Even if you get angry, please hold it in and be cautious around those close to you.' That night, Lee Hong writes 'Wangunrok' on the cover of the recipe book and diary that Yong Jiyoung made for him, murmuring, 'Wangunrok? Does it mean to wish for clouds?' At the same time, the Wangunrok that was in Yong Jiyoung's lost bag glowed and disappeared.
