Actress Jeon So-young created a new variable in 'The Legend of Becoming a Cook'.
In the TVING original 'The Legend of Becoming a Cook', released on the 19th, Jeon So-young took on the role of Jung Min-ah, a reporter for the Defense Daily, and made a strong impression with only a brief appearance.
In that day's broadcast, Jung Min-ah showed the demeanor of a professional reporter while covering the 'tonkatsu defection' incident. However, the atmosphere completely changed the moment she encountered Kang Seong-jae at the outpost where she went for the investigation. Upon discovering Seong-jae, Jeon So-young immediately ran to him without hesitation and embraced him, heightening curiosity about the hidden relationship between the two.
Her concern and tenderness toward Seong-jae further created a strange atmosphere between them. From asking about his well-being first, "Why have you lost so much weight? Are you okay? Is it not too hard?" to the way she looked at him, Jeon So-young did not hide Min-ah's feelings, focusing solely on one person regardless of others' gazes. Additionally, she naturally shifted between the calmness of a professional reporter and the emotional release that only happens in front of Seong-jae, leaving room for romance.
Receiving everyone's attention from her very first appearance, Jeon So-young has been crowned the ending fairy of 'The Legend of Becoming a Cook'. Interest is now focused on what kind of changes Min-ah, who added mystery to Seong-jae's narrative, will bring to the unfolding story.
Meanwhile, 'The Legend of Becoming a Cook' airs simultaneously on TVING and tvN every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
