Lee Chae-min turned the contest into a draw.
On the 20th broadcast of tvN weekend drama Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, the scene of Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah), who participated in the second contest, was depicted.
Joseon and Ming competed. In the second contest, Ming led with a 1:8 result. Seeing the result, Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min) said, "The score of the second contest is invalid." Woo-gon (Kim Hyung-mook) asked what he meant, and Lee Heon angrily said, "Can't you understand what I'm saying. I gave Joseon cuisine an absurdly low score with the sole intention of having Ming win."
Lee Heon added, "If you cannot evaluate the taste of a dish honestly, what is the meaning of a contest. Shallow tricks are a source of shame. They dishonor not only the Ming cooks but also the honor of Joseon cooks."
Lee Heon said, "I will evaluate it in another way without any problems," then declared, "You must taste the dish you made and give a score. The winner of the second contest will be decided."
Lee Heon asked Yeon Ji-young for a score, and Yeon Ji-young said of her dish, "It is impossible to assign a score. It may be hard to say it's a perfect dish, but it contains all of our sweat, effort, sincerity and hearts. How could we who made this determine a score. We cannot directly evaluate the taste of this dish. I'm sorry."
Dang Baek-ryong (Jo Jae-yoon) said in response to a question about scoring his dish, "I also cannot give a score. I cannot evaluate it myself."
Lee Heon explained, "The cuisines of the two countries are evenly matched in every respect. It is almost impossible to evaluate the two dishes by taste alone. I wanted to check the mindset of the two cooks, so I had them evaluate directly. Even then, the two cooks are so equal that they cannot determine superiority." He added, "This contest is also a draw."
Amid murmurs from everyone, Woo-gon agreed with Lee Heon's words while hiding dark intentions.
