The script reading scene, which was a feast of enthusiastic performance from the first breath in "Becoming a legend of a foodie's disease," was unveiled.

The original TVing "Becoming a Food Service Legend" (played by Choi Ryong, directed by Cho Nam-hyung), which is set to be released for the first time at 8:50 p.m. on May 11, 2026, is a military cookbang fantasy drama about the process of Kang Sung-jae, a private soldier who wears a kitchen knife instead of a gun and an apron instead of a bullet belt, being reborn as a "legendary cook."

Based on the popular Naver webtoon of the same name, it has established a solid lineup of actors, including Park Ji-hoon (played by Kang Sung-jae), who rose to 10 million actors through "The Man Who Lives with the King" in 2026, as well as Yoon Kyung-ho (Park Jae-young), Han Dong-hee (played by Cho Ye-rin), and Lee Hong-nae (played by Yoon Dong-hyun). On top of that, Lee Sang-i (played by Hwang Seok-ho) joined as a special appearance, drawing attention as an expected film in the first half of this year.

On this day, a rare scene was held at the script reading site with actors wearing military uniforms and attending. Since it was everyone's first time together, the actors greeted each other with a pleasant excitement. As the script reading day was June 25, a time of silence for patriotic martyrs and patriotic spirits was also held, and a reverent attitude was added to the reading in earnest.

During the subsequent personnel session, writer Choi Ryong expressed overwhelming emotions, saying, "I didn't think this day would come until I went to the army as a cook, but I feel new to take on the role of 'becoming a chef legend'." Head coach Cho Nam-hyung also said, "The long journey will begin today, and I hope I can finish it healthy. I will cheer up until the end with fun and excitement," he said, expressing his strong determination.

The script reading, which began in such an energetic atmosphere, was a realistic and chewy combination as if standing in the middle of a training camp to match the military cookbang fantasy drama. The actors not only fully digested the lines with the military's unique language, but also fully utilized the characters' personalities with lively expressions.

In particular, Park Ji-hoon, who plays Kang Sung-jae, a cook at Ganglimso Elementary School, showed the character's good and hard mentality and the strange phenomenon he suddenly sees in front of his eyes, making him wonder about the most exciting challenge he will face in life. Private Lee, who has just moved in, is expected to make Park Ji-hoon's different acting transformation, which will make him forget the intense image of his previous works.

Yoon Kyung-ho, who played as Park Jae-young, the 4th Company of Ganglimso Elementary School, who freely spoke the character's signature accent, strong dialect, and made even his disgust and strangeness feel human charm, was also brilliant. Han Dong-hee played Lieutenant Cho Ye-rin, showing calm charisma, giving off the style of a strong and weak character who confronts absurdity with common sense and justice, signaling the essence of a defense-colored girl crush.

Lee Hong-nae, who plays Sergeant Yoon Dong-hyun, a senior cook at Kanglimso Elementary School, also showed his shamelessness with zero impact on the diet complaints and the vibe of the late sergeant waiting for the day when he is discharged, and Lee Sang-i, who helped as Captain Hwang Seok-ho, a 4th Company Company Commander, was very active by bringing out the fierce temper of Hwang Seok-ho, who is as fierce as a tricky taste.

"When I saw each actor's passion for acting and breathing shown in the script reading, I was sure our work would give good energy to the viewers," the production team of "Becoming a foodie legend" said. "Please look forward to the birth of a fun and enjoyable military drama in the first half of this year."

Meanwhile, "Becoming a foodie legend" will premiere on TVing and tvN at 8:50 p.m. on May 11.
