'Mess Cook Legend' Han Min is embroiled in a military procurement scandal.
In episodes 9 and 10 of the TVING drama 'Mess Cook Legend' (script by Choi Ryong, directed by Jo Nam-hyung), broadcast on the 8th and 9th, the story depicted Lee Min-gu (played by Han Min) being investigated over allegations of military procurement corruption.
When Battalion Commander Bae Won-young (played by An Gil-kang) showed interest in the poor condition of the soldiers' dining hall food, Min-gu initially responded with feigned nonchalance, but his expression soon hardened. He then met with Battalion Commander Baek Chun-ik (played by Jung Woong-in) and apologized sincerely. Promising to handle the matter properly, Min-gu appeared at the soldiers' dining hall and declared a comprehensive inspection.
Min-gu inspected various areas of the soldiers' dining hall kitchen. He confirmed the newly delivered food and emphasized its good condition. When Platoon Leader Jo Ye-rin (played by Han Dong-hee) raised an objection, he shouted angrily and proceeded to conduct a full personnel check.
However, as Won-young personally ordered a related investigation and the situation worsened, Min-gu faced the crisis of having to take the blame for everything. Ultimately, during the investigation, he exercised his right to remain silent and maintained silence throughout. While watching Chun-ik, who claimed in the video shown by investigators that he knew nothing about the incident, Min-gu revealed his complex inner turmoil.
As such, Han Min portrayed the various facets of the character with realistic expressions and diverse eye acting. Furthermore, Han Min heightened immersion by delicately conveying emotions even without dialogue during the investigation process.
