Surviving as Yeonsangun’s Chef summary: “What on earth is this dish?” “…It is chicken, Your Majesty.” The most notorious tyrant of Joseon… discovers the taste of fried chicken?! Yeon Ji-young, once a rising star French chef, suddenly finds herself hurled back in time by a mysterious accident, straight into the palace of King Yeonsan. “From today, you are my Royal Chef.” Enchanted by the chicken she created, the tyrant appoints Ji-young as his daeryeong sooksoo (chief royal chef) and threatens her with death should she ever serve him a dish that fails to please. Thus begins Ji-young’s desperate nightly struggle to survive, preparing royal banquets for the volatile king. Yet as days pass, an odd tension sparks between them… “He’s insane… but annoyingly handsome.” “Ji-young… I can’t stop thinking about her.” A woman who starts to see not just a tyrant, but a man… And a king whose gaze drifts away from food to the chef herself. The grand epic of Joseon’s greatest tyrant and the chef who captured both his palate and his heart begins now!
