K-Drama Star Park Ji-hoon: The Legendary Cook

Ten Million Viewer Actor Park Ji-hoon is returning with the TVING original drama '​The Legend of the Mess Hall Cook'. This drama, set to be released on the 11th of next month, is a military cooking fantasy genre that depicts the process of Private Kang Sung-jae, who wields a kitchen knife instead of a gun and an apron instead of a bullet belt, becoming a legendary mess hall cook.

This drama is based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name and is drawing attention as the next project for Park Ji-hoon, who reached the ten million viewer mark with the movie 'King and the Clown'. The recently released poster features Park Ji-hoon, who has shed his royal robes for a chef's uniform.

The poster shows the valiant appearance of mess hall cook Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon) in the kitchen, with the phrase "A kitchen knife instead of a gun! An apron instead of a bullet belt!" Despite his title as a soldier with attention deficit disorder, indicated by a smile badge, Kang Sung-jae's confident gaze is evident as he skillfully works a wok over a burner.

Notably, a virtual quest window floating around Kang Sung-jae catches the eye. The phrase "'Welcome, warrior. You begin the path of a chef now'" announces mess hall cook Kang Sung-jae's first step, sparking curiosity about the identity of the game-like quest window. The birth of a legendary mess hall cook who will capture the taste buds of all the soldiers is anticipated.

'The Legend of the Mess Hall Cook' is scheduled to premiere on May 11th at 8:50 PM on TVING and tvN.
