Even as a special appearance, Lee Sang filled every role flawlessly, proving to be an irreplaceable presence.

Lee Sang made a special appearance as Captain Hwang Seok-ho, the company commander of the 4th Company, in TVING's original series 'The Legend of the Cook', which concluded on the 11th. He portrayed the character with a lively charm, charisma, and human warmth, creating a new definition of 'a special appearance that stands out through special performance.'

◆ Lee Sang, responsible for laughter, the epitome of an irresistible charming character

After being commended as the representative of the top company in the KCTC training, Hwang Seok-ho was moved to tears, saying, "These days come as you live." Lee Sang's portrayal of Hwang Seok-ho, who continuously expressed gratitude with a variety of expressions, was nothing less than an 'irresistible charming character' that no one could dislike.

Whether he broke both arms while throwing himself to save Kang Seong-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon) and sent a distress signal using Morse code with his arms in casts, or whether he felt as though he had the whole world after a single call from the battalion commander only to quickly fall into despair, Hwang Seok-ho's emotional shifts were more than enough to make viewers laugh.

◆ Lee Sang, responsible for emotion, the epitome of a leader who cherishes his soldiers

When a signboard blown by a strong wind was about to crash down on Kang Seong-jae, Hwang Seok-ho immediately threw himself to protect him. Unlike his usual light and carefree demeanor, Hwang Seok-ho's animalistic instinct to act first in the face of danger appeared as a surprising charm. His shouts, "I am Hwang Seok-ho. Even if my limbs are broken, I will never fall if I can protect my company members," and "Just trust your company commander," brought emotion to the viewers.

Furthermore, Lee Sang's calm delivery of the line, "I promised no one would get hurt, but it's not easy," fully revealed Hwang Seok-ho's deep affection and sense of responsibility for his soldiers.

◆ Lee Sang, responsible for the narrative, the epitome of an irreplaceable presence

Hwang Seok-ho was always at the center of the episodes. In episodes 7 and 8, as the soldiers' anxiety and conflict grew due to a food shortage, Hwang Seok-ho, shouldering his responsibility as a company commander, was meticulously portrayed searching for solutions, adding depth to the narrative.

Additionally, Hwang Seok-ho heightened the drama's tension by clashing with his superior, administrative officer Park Jae-young (played by Yoon Kyung-ho). Hwang Seok-ho's words and actions, which sharply conflicted with Park Jae-young's attempt to resolve the crisis in a different way, enhanced immersion and made it impossible to look away. At the end of the drama, Hwang Seok-ho led a scene where the soldiers shared and bonded over eating vegetable bibimbap together, further meaningfully completing the message the drama intended to convey and demonstrating his irreplaceable presence.

Meanwhile, Lee Sang is scheduled to appear on Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 11th to perform Mi-gak Boyz's 'My Flavor' stage together.
