Park Jihoon’s cooking is finally starting to win over the hearts of his fellow soldiers!
In the second episode of the TVING original series ‘Become a Legend Cooking Soldier’ (written by Choi Ryong and directed by Jo Nam-hyung) aired on the 12th, Park Jihoon delivered a powerful performance, deeply portraying the emotions of his character, Kang Seong-jae.
Previously, Kang Seong-jae faced the biggest crisis of his military life when he was dragged away by military police after Lt. Col. Baek Chun-ik (Jung Woong-in) collapsed while eating his sea urchin seaweed soup. However, it turned out to be a shock caused by Lt. Col. Baek’s perilla powder allergy, not poison or a cooking mistake. In a surprising twist, Lt. Col. Baek highly praised the soup, saying he “saw heaven.”
Through a conversation with a counselor, Kang Seong-jae regained his focus by remembering the teachings of his late father. Encouraged, he showed a strong determination to remain a cooking soldier, even after Captain Hwang Seok-ho (Lee Sang-yi) suggested a change in his position.
Kang Seong-jae showed his growth as a cook by using a status window system to eliminate the smell of old rice with vinegar and capturing the taste buds of the unit with a spicy bean sprout soup. Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun (Lee Hong-nae) also opened his heart to Kang Seong-jae’s sincerity, creating a heartwarming chemistry between the two.
However, Captain Hwang still attempted to change Kang Seong-jae’s position. To persuade him, Kang Seong-jae carefully fried some tonkatsu, but he failed the quest, and the status window system disappeared. Fans are now curious to see if Kang Seong-jae can overcome this crisis and continue his journey as a cooking soldier.
Meanwhile, the TVING original series ‘Become a Legend Cooking Soldier’ starring Park Jihoon airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM on TVING and tvN.
