Han Ji Yu is an employee on the marketing team of a liquor company. Park Gi Hun, on the other hand, is a devilishly charming, skillful chef of a famous restaurant. When Ji Yu is asked to contact Gi Hun’s restaurant…
Han Ji Yu is a cheerful, food-obsessed marketer at a soju company, drowning his sorrows in food and drink after a recent breakup. His latest assignment: convince Park Gi Hun, a notoriously reclusive and handsome chef who runs a cozy restaurant with a strict no-alcohol policy, to partner in a promotional campaign. The task seems impossible—Gi Hun’s trauma around alcohol makes him refuse any collaboration, and he’s already kicked Ji Yu out for trying to order soju. Undeterred, Ji Yu takes a part-time job at the restaurant, hoping to win the stubborn chef over with charm, persistence, and lots of shared meals. As the two bond over late-night cooking, quiet conversations, and a growing mutual respect, their initial friction softens into something warmer. But can Ji Yu reconcile his love for liquor with Gi Hun’s deep-seated aversion? A sweet, slow-burn romance unfolds against a backdrop of sizzling pans, clinking glasses, and the search for a balance between tradition and change.
