“Chef of the Tyrant” Lee Joo-an, from clown to loyal retainer… a powerful narrative completed with blood-stained revenge

[Seoul=RNX News] Reporter Seoyeon Jung = Actor Jooan Lee exuded a weighty presence.

In the weekend drama ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’ (directed by Taeyu Jang, written by fGRD, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Filmgreeda·Jung Universe) aired on the 27th and 28th, Jooan Lee, appearing as Gong-gil, anchored the drama with his deep acting, increasing audience immersion.

In the broadcast, Gong-gil captivated viewers by showcasing a Cheoyong dance at the grand banquet celebrating the queen dowager’s birthday.

The graceful yet restrained dance steps elevated the festive atmosphere, creating a harmonious scene.

However, the atmosphere changed rapidly due to an unexpected figure, and although Yeon Ji-young (played by Yoona) narrowly avoided a crisis with her wits, Jesan Prince (played by Choi Gui-hwa) immediately devised a new strategy, foreshadowing another crisis.

Gong-gil, quickly grasping the situation, played a significant role in saving Yeon Ji-young from a life-threatening crisis.

In the following scene, Gong-gil struggled to guide Yeon Ji-young to a safe place. Even in the chaotic situation, he calmly persuaded her, saying it was what Lee Heon (played by Chaemin Lee) wanted, showing both cold-headedness and compassion.

Additionally, he demonstrated leadership by uniting everyone from actors to the royal kitchen staff, assisting Lee Heon in fighting against Jesan Prince and displaying the qualities of a loyalist. Furthermore, by removing the main antagonist Kang Mok-joo (played by Hanna Kang), he fulfilled his sister’s revenge, intensely concluding the drama.

So far, ‘The Tyrant’s Chef’ has received great love from viewers with delightful food scenes and fresh direction, boasting high ratings until the end.

In this, Jooan Lee left a strong impression on viewers with his immersive acting and solid character portrayal from his first appearance to his last exit.

Meanwhile, Jooan Lee is solidifying his own filmography with stable acting abilities, portraying unique characters in diverse genre works such as the dramas ‘Rescue Me 2’, ‘True Beauty’, ‘Youth of May’, and ‘Fantasy Romance’.
