Lee Hong-nae delivered a comedic performance unlike anything seen before.

In the first episode of the TVING original 'Becoming the Legendary Cook' (script by Choi Ryong, directed by Jo Nam-hyung), released on the 11th, actor Lee Hong-nae, who plays Yoon Dong-hyun, a cook at Gangrim Garrison and a veteran corporal nearing discharge, exuded a powerful presence. With overwhelming physicality and a charismatic aura, Lee Hong-nae appeared as a twist character with terrible cooking skills, delivering laughter.

Yoon Dong-hyun (played by Lee Hong-nae) made his first appearance with a determined gaze reminiscent of a legendary chef, instantly commanding attention. Drenched in sweat, he wielded cooking utensils without hesitation, creating an extraordinary atmosphere, but soon drew complaints from the soldiers due to the fly-infested military cafeteria and the mysterious braised potatoes. Even so, he responded to the soldiers' grievances with a sharp charisma.

With only 100 days until discharge, his peaceful final days began to crack with the arrival of Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon). While Kang Sung-jae was assigned tasks and Lee Hong-nae stepped away, an inspection by the company commander began, plunging the poorly run cafeteria into crisis. However, thanks to the warehouse organized by Kang Sung-jae, the situation was barely resolved. Subsequently, the soldiers fell into chaos again due to Yoon Dong-hyun's abysmal cooking skills, and an incident occurred where the battalion commander collapsed after drinking the seaweed soup made by Kang Sung-jae. While wary of the rumors surrounding Kang Sung-jae, Yoon Dong-hyun gradually became more concerned, sparking anticipation for the unpredictable chemistry between the two that will unfold.

Lee Hong-nae completed the character of Yoon Dong-hyun by adding his signature rough charisma with playful comedic acting. Though he approached cooking with a determined expression, he skillfully portrayed the painful yet funny situation of the results, capturing the sensitivity unique to a veteran corporal.

It remains to be seen what kind of entertainment Lee Hong-nae's Yoon Dong-hyun, who effortlessly shifts between seriousness and comedy, will bring in the future.

Meanwhile, 'Becoming the Legendary Cook' is released every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. on TVING Originals and tvN.
