After a bitter clash of values, a master of an ancient culinary craft walks away from the restaurant he built with his cousin.

It runs 53 short episodes on iDrama and leans on revenge and romance tropes, with each episode ending on a hook.

Plan on roughly 1–2 hours from the first episode to the finale.
