Premiering on May 11, 'The Legendary Cook' is a military cooking fantasy drama that follows Private Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon) as he transforms into a legendary cook, swapping guns for kitchen knives and ammo belts for aprons.
The series features a dynamic cast including Park Ji-hoon (as Kang Sung-jae), Yoon Kyung-ho (as Park Jae-young), Han Dong-hee (as Jo Ye-rin), Lee Hong-nae (as Yoon Dong-hyun), and a special appearance by Lee Sang-yi (as Hwang Seok-ho). The recently released poster teases the unique and intriguing characters that will bring the story to life.
Private Kang Sung-jae's fiery determination is immediately captivating, as he prepares for kitchen battles with rubber gloves instead of protective gear, hinting at his future as a legendary cook.
Meanwhile, Sergeant Park Jae-young (played by Yoon Kyung-ho) exudes the confidence of a seasoned veteran, holding a squid leg in his mouth. Lieutenant Jo Ye-rin (played by Han Dong-hee) grips a tray with determination, reflecting her responsibility for the military base's meals.
The contrasting objects held by Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun (played by Lee Hong-nae) and Captain Hwang Seok-ho (played by Lee Sang-yi) also draw attention.
