Synopsis

edit

Moon Seung-mo (Eric Mun) is a popular star chef and the only son of the 80-year-old traditional Korean 'Pungcheonok’ pork soup restaurant. He is also responsible for creating the fine Korean cuisine dining boom through pop-up restaurants. He loves to cook with organic ingredients while the current culinary environment is filled with food made with MSG and problematic ingredients. After his parent died suddenly from a fire, he decides to move to the quaint Seoha Village.[3][4][5][6]

Meanwhile, Yoo Yoo-jin (Go Won-hee), also known as Yoo Bella, is a renowned fashion designer. She moves to Seoha Village after losing her memory from an accident which results in her acting completely different than her usual glamorous self. Due to her reckless behavior, she earns the nickname “Yoobyeolna”(unique, oddball) among the village locals.[7]

Moon Seung-mo's peaceful daily life suddenly turns upside down with the sudden appearance of Yoo Yoo-jin at the village.[8]
