Actor Kim Moon-ki will be working alongside Park Ji-hoon.
On the 24th, his agency Golden Moon Entertainment announced, "Kim Moon-ki has been cast in the TVING original 'The Legend of the Cook Soldier'."
TVING original 'The Legend of the Cook Soldier' (script by Choi Ryong, directed by Jo Nam-hyung, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Studio Dragon, Studio N, provided by TVING) is a military cooking fantasy drama depicting the journey of Private Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon), who swaps his rifle for a kitchen knife and his ammunition belt for an apron, to become the 'legendary cook soldier'.
Kim Moon-ki will play the role of Private Pyo Ji-yong, a clumsy but lovable soldier at Gangnim Small Post. Pyo Ji-yong enjoys a comfortable military life thanks to being favored by Sergeant Kim Kwan-cheol, the second-in-command of Gangnim Small Post. Kim Moon-ki will bring a lively and realistic performance to the character of Pyo Ji-yong, who embodies the concept of "strong against the weak, weak against the strong," adding fun and entertainment to the drama.
Kim Moon-ki has previously demonstrated his wide acting spectrum by appearing in films such as 'That's Enough', 'The Rooms', 'Outcast', and short-form dramas including 'New Love Playlist', 'I Married My Sister's Husband', and 'Male Secretary'. In the recently concluded drama 'Honor: Their Courtroom', he played the role of Andong-je, a genius hacker with three-dimensional charm.
Attention is focused on what kind of chemistry Kim Moon-ki and Park Ji-hoon will show together.
Meanwhile, TVING original 'The Legend of the Cook Soldier' will premiere on Monday, May 11, at 8:50 p.m. on TVING and tvN.
