'The Legend of the Mess Cook' depicts Park Ji-hun overcoming a crisis in the mess unit and dramatically raising morale at the training ground from a state of near-zero.

'The Legend of the Mess Cook' aired on the 26th on tvN. In its sixth episode, food supplies failed to reach soldiers smoothly during an outdoor training exercise, causing morale to continue dropping.

'In response, Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hun) set out to develop a new menu using hardtack, a military ration item, to turn the mood around. Kang finely crushed the hardtack to create a breading, coated it around rice balls, and deep-fried them in oil to complete 'Arancini rice balls.' He added further detail by crushing the star-shaped candy inside the hardtack and sprinkling it as a topping.

'At the serving station, Haeng Bo-gwan (played by Yoon Kyung-ho), who witnessed this, exclaimed in surprise, "Is that the rice ball from earlier?" Kang Sung-jae confidently replied, "I deep-fried it until golden brown to enhance the texture and visual appeal."

'The company commander (played by Lee Sang-i), hesitating while saying, "I keep thinking about that visual from earlier," was reprimanded by Haeng Bo-gwan, who said, "Are you complaining about rice now? If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it."

'However, the moment the rice ball was bitten into, the atmosphere at the training ground turned around. The company commander, moved by the taste, said, "The company commander has awakened," and began to tear up. Seeing this, Haeng Bo-gwan remarked, "Why are you making such a fuss over crying?" while also praising, "Maybe it's because we're eating during training, but it tastes incredibly good."

'The platoon commander (played by Han Dong-hee) also exclaimed, "I suddenly feel like strength is welling up." Park Ji-hun, by creating an unusual Arancini using military hardtack, captured both the appetites and strength of the soldiers, once again proving his credentials as a 'Legend of the Mess Cook.'
