The teaser begins with top trainee Kang Sung-jae being assigned to Gangrim Outpost. Captain Hwang Seok-ho (played by Lee Sang-yi) assigns him as a cook, shaking his hand with a "Thank you for your service!" Kang Sung-jae, embodying the spirit of a soldier, responds with "Loyalty! Yes, I can!" The unfamiliar role of a cook and the captain's expectations suggest a dramatic change in Kang Sung-jae's life.

The mess hall at Gangrim Outpost, where Kang Sung-jae will work, is notorious for its poor hygiene and taste. Flies buzz around, and soldiers lament their meals. Even Kang Sung-jae, upon tasting the food for the first time, tries to escape but falls in the process. The mess hall's poor reputation is due to the 'cooking novice' cook and senior soldier Yoon Dong-hyun (played by Lee Hong-nae). Kang Sung-jae's journey ahead seems challenging.

Despite these conditions, Kang Sung-jae's determination shines through. He displays impressive knife skills and a fiery wok technique, exuding an extraordinary aura. When he attempts to add something to the dish, Lieutenant Jo Ye-rin (played by Han Dong-hee), Sergeant Park Jae-young (played by Yoon Kyung-ho), and Yoon Dong-hyun try to stop him, but Kang Sung-jae confidently completes his unique dish. The soldiers' reactions to his cooking are captivating, as they are enchanted by the taste. The mystery of Kang Sung-jae's magical culinary skills piques curiosity.

'The Legendary Cook' teaser showcases Kang Sung-jae's journey from an ordinary private to a legendary cook who transforms the mess hall into a paradise. The delicious revolution led by Private Kang Sung-jae is eagerly awaited.

The Teabing original 'The Legendary Cook' is a military cooking fantasy drama that follows Private Kang Sung-jae's transformation into a 'legendary cook', swapping guns for knives and belts for aprons. Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name by J. Robin and Lee Jin-soo, it will premiere on May 11 at 8:50 PM on Teabing and tvN.

Teabing will host a 'Legendary Supply Depot' booth at the 'Seoul Spring Festival' in Yeouido Hangang Park, Seoul, where fans can experience the charm of 'The Legendary Cook' through fun games, merchandise, and events reminiscent of a military mess hall. The event will run from May 1 for five days.
