Based on the Naver webtoon Kitchen Soldier by J Robin, this thoroughly diverting series features Park as Kang Seong-jae, a new recruit in the army who is assigned to the seaside Gangrim barracks after completing boot camp.
Seong-jae aced basic training, but having recently lost his father and after exhibiting some peculiar behaviour, he is flagged as a cadet with potential mental health issues – and identified to fellow recruits with a patronising smiley-face pin on his uniform. Rather than send him into the field, his new superiors assign him to kitchen duty.
