Yeonsangunui Chef-ro Saranamgi

“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!
