Park Ji-hoon returns in uniform, taking on the role of a sharply disciplined rookie private.
TVING original and tvN Monday-Tuesday drama The Legend of Kitchen Soldier, set to premiere on May 11, has unveiled its first stills featuring Park Ji-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, Han Dong-hee, and Lee Hong-nae. The images highlight a lineup of vividly distinct characters, raising expectations for a lively military ensemble.
Park Ji-hoon stars as Kang Sung-jae, a newly enlisted private assigned as a cook. Known for his sincerity and commitment, Kang approaches every task with intensity. After being stationed at Gangrim Outpost, he encounters an unexpected turning point that sets him on a path to transform the unit’s meal system. The stills capture his tense posture and disciplined demeanor in an unfamiliar environment, hinting at both humor and growth.
Yoon Kyung-ho takes on the role of Sergeant Park Jae-young, an administrative supply officer who values instinct over protocol. With a blunt personality and fiery temper, he embodies a veteran shaped by years of service. His hardened expression and piercing gaze reflect a character driven by experience and unyielding conviction, setting up a dynamic clash with Kang Sung-jae.
Han Dong-hee appears as Lieutenant Jo Ye-rin, a former ROTC officer leading the outpost. Defined by her strong sense of justice, she confronts irregularities within the unit without compromise. Her composed yet firm presence suggests a stabilizing force within the barracks.
Lee Hong-nae portrays Yoon Dong-hyun, a senior private cook nearing discharge. Unlike Kang, he shows little interest in food or duty, focusing only on completing his service without incident. In one still, he holds a fly swatter instead of a ladle, adding a comedic contrast to the otherwise tense environment.
The Legend of Kitchen Soldier builds its narrative around sharply contrasting personalities, from a rigid rookie and a volatile sergeant to a principled officer and an indifferent senior. Their unpredictable interactions are expected to deliver both humor and character-driven storytelling within a military setting.
