'Baby Army Cook' Park Ji-hoon gives up a honey-sweet first vacation to save his family business.

TVING Original 'The Legend of the Army Cook' (script by Choi Ryong, directed by Jo Nam-hyung, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Studio Dragon, Studio N, provided by TVING) has secured the number one spot in TVING's weekly paid subscriber count for two consecutive weeks, continuing its hot buzz.

'The Legend of the Army Cook' ranked second overall and second in drama on Japan's Disney+ in its first week of release (episodes 1-2), followed by entering the Top 5 in the Americas, Europe, Middle East, and Oceania regions on Rakuten Viki, and recording a viewer rating of 8.7 on the CIS and Russia platform IVI, demonstrating high viewer satisfaction.

In episode 5, airing on the 25th, army cook Kang Seong-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon), who has left Gangnim Garrison and returned to his family's embrace for the first time in a while, launches a special operation to revive his mother Gong Su-yeon's (played by Seo Jeong-yeon) food truck.

Until now, Kang Seong-jae has continued his unique military life at Gangnim Garrison alongside his guardian. Guided by the guardian, Kang Seong-jae walked the 'Path of Chef Lisa,' receiving various skills and recipes that brought innovation to the Gangnim Garrison menu.

/>Especially, thanks to Private First Class Yoon Dong-hyun (played by Lee Hong-nae), who knew nothing about food, Kang Seong-jae transformed meals that were like hell into heavenly tastes, earning high satisfaction from his fellow soldiers. He has also captivated the palates of superiors who suddenly visited Gangnim Garrison, members of the National Assembly, and even North Korean residents, steadily building his reputation day by day.

Among the released photos, a heartwarming moment of Kang Seong-jae meeting his mother after taking leave and seeing her for the first time in a while draws attention. Kang Seong-jae, who gave a sturdy salute to his mother, is chatting with a much more relaxed expression. The reality of the son, who is 180 degrees different from the ace army cook of Gangnim Garrison, brings a warm smile.

However, the warm moment is brief. Kang Seong-jae faces an unexpected situation and is overwhelmed with embarrassment. The reason is that the food truck run by his mother is occupied only by flies, which seem to be permanent residents instead of customers.

In response, Kang Seong-jae, the recognized foodie of Gangnim Garrison, not only tastes his mother's cooking to identify the problem but also struggles to recover the secret recipe for tteokbokki that his father used to make. In particular, he plans to actively seek help by visiting the owner of a ghost-catching tteokbokki shop (played by Jin Gu) who makes a taste similar to his father's tteokbokki, asking to be taught a thing or two.
