The Genie TV original drama, created by Han Joon Hee and written by Jung Soo Yoon, promises a unique blend of food, rivalry, and romance. It tells the story of Han Beom Woo (played by Kang Ha Neul), a chaebol heir who becomes a "recipe hunter" to secure his inheritance, and Mo Yeon Joo (played by Go Min Si), a headstrong chef running a small, no-signboard, one-table restaurant in Jeonju. What begins as a fiery kitchen war between the two evolves into a heartwarming journey of personal growth and unexpected love.

Kang Ha Neul’s character, Han Beom Woo, is the top candidate to take over South Korea’s leading food company. While running a successful fine dining restaurant, he faces fierce competition with his brother for control of the family business. To win the battle, he begins seeking out rare recipes, leading him to Mo Yeon Joo’s restaurant.

Meanwhile, Go Min Si’s Mo Yeon Joo is a passionate chef determined to stick to her values of only using the best ingredients and serving just one table at a time. Despite struggling to keep her restaurant afloat, her unexpected meeting with Han Beom Woo changes everything.

The drama also features an exciting supporting cast, including Kim Shin Rok as Jin Myung Sook, a gukbap expert with 15 years of experience, and Yoo Soo Bin as Shin Chun Seung, a carefree local aristocrat. Together, these characters promise a rich and dynamic story.

Recently released stills from the drama have only added to the anticipation. In the images, Kang Ha Neul and Go Min Si can be seen working in the rustic setting of a traditional Korean house, both dressed in aprons and rubber gloves.
