The TV series, which aired on the 7th of this month, recorded an average of 13.1% for households in the metropolitan area and a peak of 15.1%, while the national average was 12.7% for households nationwide and a peak of 14.5%, again reaching its highest viewership rating.
This is more than 2.5 times higher than the initial 4.9% nationwide. Responses from overseas are also attracting attention. The series is currently being simultaneously streamed on global OTT platform Netflix.
tvN's Saturday and Sunday TV series "Tyrant Chef" took first place in the Top 10 series in 42 regions immediately after its broadcast, and achieved the success of being ranked in the Top 10 in 93 regions, becoming a global hit in K-content.
There are various reasons for this success. First, the food styling team of Netflix's "Black and White Spoon: Culinary Class War"
The elaborate and spectacular cooking scenes, which were brought to life in collaboration with the French chef, have heightened the viewers' immersion. In addition, the time-travel setting of a French chef traveling to the Joseon era has attracted global attention.
The drama effectively utilizes the familiar yet appealing characteristics of the romantic fantasy genre, and the sensitive direction of director Jang Tae-yoo, who is well versed in directing historical dramas, has been a major factor.
The addition of the actor to the film has been praised as enhancing the film's quality. The passionate performances of the actors, who further enhance the appeal of the genre, are also cited as a factor in its success.
Due to the protagonist's personal issues, casting was a major challenge. Finding a replacement actor and re-establishing the character was a difficult task that had to be accomplished in a short amount of time.
In this difficult situation, the addition of Lee Chae Min, who is in his fourth year since debut and taking on his first period drama role, was initially seen as a cause for concern. However, he overcame those concerns with his unique energy and convincing acting.
Lee Chae Min not only perfectly blended into the character, but also formed an older-younger couple with her co-star Yoona (Girls' Generation).
The reaction was that their chemistry had become even more lively. Lee Heon has the dignity of a king, with his fierce eyes and madness that makes those around him tremble, but he also has a lonely inner self and is entangled with his mother.
He is a character who evokes pity the moment his wounds become apparent. He has an absolute palate and when Yeong Ji-Yeong (Yoona) serves him a dish he has never seen before, he immediately responds with a vivid "Mo
Lee Chae Min has been able to portray all of these characters with ease, from tone to facial expressions, making him appear familiar and easy to understand.
In many ways, Lee Chae-min is a star who has starred in last year's tvNTV series "Seongje, Run"
It reminds me of actor Byeon WooSeok, the main character of the syndrome.
He has a tall physique. He effortlessly plays the charming atmosphere between a boy and a grown man, and even reveals his upper body in scenes. He is also known as the "door man" (a tall, stylish man) and continues the lineage of that name.
Lee Chae Min's appearance is even more striking in historical dramas where he has to wear Korean traditional clothing such as golryeongpo and hanbok. In addition to acting, Lee Chae Min not only practices horse riding, archery, and swordsmanship, but also has a wealth of experience in the art of martial arts.
It is said that he even learned Korean court dance himself and made thorough preparations for the TV series. At the time, "Run with Seongje on Your Back" was also so difficult to cast that it took three years to complete the production.
It is known that he struggled repeatedly, but Byeon WooSeok mastered everything for the work, singing whether it was singing or swimming, and became "Seongje" himself, capturing the immersion of many viewers.
In cases like this, even if he is put on the test bed, as long as he fulfills the role he is given, the viewers will be more than happy to accept him. From now on, it will not be them, but Seongje,
It's hard to imagine Lee Heon. A person in the entertainment industry told Korean media, "In the process of (Lee Chae Min) being selected to play the lead role in 'Tyrant Chef,' not only industry insiders,
"I understand that he was under tremendous pressure as he was receiving a lot of attention and concern from the public," he said, adding, "Even the free production period was extremely insufficient.
Despite the difficult circumstances, Lee Chae Min clung to the project with dedication as his weapon, and on set, his efforts and fresh energy seemed to have a positive effect on Director Jang Tae Yoo and Yuna."
He continued, "She's a model student, so I think she'll be able to show even greater growth in the future."
"Tyrant Chef" has fully captured the appetite of TV Series viewers and is currently one of the most popular TV series.
Just like those who rose to stardom after discovering the work "Ef", will Lee Chae Min's future be watched closely to see if he will rise to become a promising young star and become the next generation of male romantic comedy protagonists?
Meanwhile, "Tyrant Chef" is currently airing on tvN in Korea from 9:10 PM on Saturdays and Sundays. In Japan, it is available on Netflix.
