Kang Sunghoon has the uncanny ability to remember any ingredient
he touches as a cook’s helper at Jewelria, a third-rate hotel in Seoul.

he often finds himself trapped scrubbing pans and washing dishes
after the rest of the staff has left for the evening.
Although constantly looked down upon and bossed around
Sunghoon possesses an eerie power that allows him
to expertly recall the characteristics of any food he handles.
While Sunghoon started working at Jewelria to gain experience, little did he know his secret ability would land him in a series of crazy misadventures. As a result, his life has turned into a comedy of errors worthy of a manga series. Through a fortuitous accident, Sunghoon gets promoted to sous-chef, allowing his hidden talent to shine through in the dishes he creates. However, his new position also invites jealousy and sabotage from his fellow cooks.
In spite of the everyday drama and disorder in the kitchen, Sunghoon rises to the challenge. He relies on his gift to concoct mouthwatering dishes that save Jewelria’s reputation and his job.Although Sunghoon faces obstacles at every turn, his passion for cooking fuels his determination to prevail against all odds. With a combination of skill, imagination and perseverance, this underdog is poised to turn Jewelria’s fortunes around while fulfilling his own destiny as a master chef.
