Surviving as the Tyrant's Chef

Synopsis

"What on earth is this dish?" "...It is called chicken, Your Majesty." Joseon's most infamous tyrant discovers the taste of fried chicken?! Yeon Ji-young, a rising French chef, suddenly falls into Joseon due to a mysterious accident and catches the eye of King Yeonsan. "From today, you are my head royal chef." Fascinated by the chicken Ji-young prepared, Yeonsan appoints her as the Daeryeong Suksu (chief royal cook), warning her that if she serves him tasteless food, it will cost her life. From then on, Ji-young presents lavish royal meals every night just to survive... but slowly, a strange tension begins to grow between them. "He's a madman... but he is handsome." "Yeon Ji-young... why can't I stop thinking about her?" A tale begins—of Yeon Ji-young, who starts to see Yeonsan not just as a tyrant but as a man, and of Yeonsan, who now finds himself drawn more to her than even the most delicious food. The grand epic of Joseon's most notorious tyrant and his chef starts now! (Source: Naver, translated)
