Synopsis

After losing his father, Kang Seong-jae joins the army to escape his grief and is posted to Gangrim. He works with Sergeant First Class Park Jae-young, Lieutenant First Class Jo Ye-rin, and military cook Yoon Dong-hyeon. Though he was the top trainee at boot camp, his poor, single-parent background marks him for special observation. Because of his experience at his father's food truck, Seong-jae is assigned as assistant to Yoon Dong-hyeon, a veteran cook known for incompetence. One day, a mysterious virtual screen appears and gives him a mission: cook for the soldiers. The holographic figure then assigns him specific tasks. While serving, Seong-jae advances as a cook, earning praise from the staff. However, his missions soon lead him to uncover dangerous secrets possibly linked to his father's death.
