'The Legend of the Cook' has already drawn attention with its glamorous casting lineup even before its release. Alongside Park Ji-hoon, who rose to the ranks of '10 million actor' with the film 'The Man Who Lives with the King', and Yoon Kyung-ho, who is enjoying his prime with 'Too Much Talker', as well as Lee Sang-i, Jung Woong-in, Han Dong-hee, and Lee Hong-nae, many acting veterans have confirmed their participation. Lee Sang-joon's synergy with them is highly anticipated.

'The Legend of the Cook' is a military cook fantasy drama that follows the journey of Private Kang Sung-jae, who swaps his rifle for a kitchen knife and his ammunition belt for an apron, transforming into the 'legendary cook'. In the series, Lee Sang-joon plays Sergeant Cha Seung-woo, the deputy commander of Ganglim Sub-Post, portraying a realistic side unique to fresh graduates and adding vitality to the drama.

Lee Sang-joon made his debut in 2021 with tvN Drama Stage Season 4 'Love Spoiler'. Since then, he has built a solid filmography through various works including the Playlist web drama 'Blue Birthday', KBS2's 'School 2021', 'Beauty and Mr. Romantic', SBS's 'Cheer Up', 'Connection', and JTBC's 'No Secrets', expanding his presence as an actor.

Notably, in the Netflix series 'Squid Game Season 2', he appeared as a manager-level pink guard wearing a square (□) mask, exuding a powerful presence. In the scene where he removes the mask, his warm visuals and delicate emotional acting drew attention, captivating the eyes of global viewers.

Meanwhile, the TVING original 'The Legend of the Cook', starring Lee Sang-joon, will be released for the first time on Monday, May 11, at 8:50 p.m. on TVING and tvN.
