tvN’s “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier” has shared new stills ahead of tonight’s new episode!

Based on a popular web novel and webtoon, “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier” is a military fantasy-comedy drama that tells the story of army cook Kang Sung Jae (Park Ji Hoon). When a mysterious quest window pops up in front of him one day, Private Kang Sung Jae begins an unexpected journey that will lead him down the path toward becoming a legendary cook.

Spoilers

Previously on “The Legend of Kitchen Soldier,” Kang Sung Jae began serving as a military cook at the direction of company commander Hwang Seok Ho (Lee Sang Yi). However, after the sea urchin seaweed soup he prepared for battalion commander Baek Choon Ik (Jung Woong In) triggered an allergic reaction, he faced possible reassignment.

Just as he begins to find enjoyment in cooking, Kang Sung Jae expresses his desire to remain in the role by preparing a heartfelt meal for Hwang Seok Ho. But Hwang Seok Ho firmly rejects the request, effectively forcing him to step away from cooking.

On April 30, the production team released photos from the script reading, which brought together Park Eun Bin, Yang Se Jong, and Ong Seong Wu as well as director Lee Min Soo and writer Choi Jung Mi.

Yang Se Jong plays Ma Gang Wook, a justice-driven prosecutor. He portrays Gang Wook’s reliable nature as he meets Cheon Yeo Ri and becomes involved in a series of strange incidents, staying by her side despite his fear.

Ong Seong Wu plays Kang Min Hwan, the CEO of CL Raymond Hotel, who hides ambition behind a gentle face. He gives a warm smile to his close friend Cheon Yeo Ri but quickly changes his demeanor when dealing with others, hinting at his true identity.

Through the script reading, the actors gradually built chemistry as they added their own touch to their characters. As various stories involving the deceased and the relationship between Cheon Yeo Ri and Ma Gan Wook unfolded, the session was filled with a wide range of reactions.

The production team said, “‘Spooky in Love’ follows the journey of a woman who can hear voices others cannot and a man who uncovers hidden truths. Together, they reveal the truth behind death and ultimately fall in love, offering excitement, chills, and catharsis all at once. Please look forward to the strong chemistry among the young actors, which will highlight the playful back-and-forth between the ghost-seeing chaebol and the passionate prosecutor.”
