Lee Heon(Lee Chae-min), played by Lee Chae-min in the drama, is a person with outstanding ability, wisdom, and great generosity who has enough qualities to become a good king.However, he is called a tyrant because he is hot-tempered and prickly, distrusts everyone in the palace, and only trusts his own judgment and carries out tyranny.

In particular, Lee Heon not only rejects those outside his fence, but also suspects the food they make, making the chefs in charge of preparing food for royal banquets sweat profusely.Lee Heon, who has a delicate palate that can detect even the subtle differences in taste and trusts his senses more than Court Lady Kimi, makes us wonder if the day will come when he can empty the entire table.

The released photos contain a day in the life of the fearsome tyrant Lee Heon, who makes everyone tremble just by his presence.He sits on a magnificent throne, exuding the majesty of a king, but then overturns the royal table and displays his madness, making the palace maids shiver.

Also, the cool face of Lee Heon, who is riding a horse and aiming his bow at his prey, adds to the tension.In this way, he wields absolute power under the name of king, making everyone in the court tremble in fear.

The production team said, “In order to portray the character of Lee Heon, actor Lee Chae-min learned horseback riding for the first time and put a lot of effort into even the smallest details, such as her voice tone and hand gestures.Please look forward to Lee Chae-min’s performance, which will show a passionate king with a wide range of emotions.”
