Adapted from a popular Korean webtoon and web novel, the series brings us plunges into the unexpected daily life of a soldier who swaps rifle and ammunition for a kitchen knife and apron. Far from the battlefield, Kitchen Soldier explores the life of an army cook who, instead of aiming at the enemy, targets his comrades' stomachs and perhaps a little their morale too.
In the center of the poster, Park Ji-hoon plays Kang Sung-jae with boundless energy. Equipped with simple rubber gloves rather than conventional military gear, he adopts a fighter's stance, ready to do battle... behind the stove.
Alongside him, several characters add to the quirky atmosphere. Yoon Kyung-ho portrays Staff Sergeant Park Jae-young, exuding a calm confidence, reinforced by his relaxed demeanor despite the chaos around him
Han Dong-hee plays lieutenant Jo Ye-rin, whose serious posture and firm grip on a lunch tray reflect her sense of responsibility as head of the Gangrim station.
For his part, Lee Hong-nae plays Yoon Dong-hyun, an impressive sergeant capable of carrying several sacks of rice at a time, illustrating his physical strength. Lee Sang-yi, in the role of Hwang Seok-ho, contrasts with a calm, controlled demeanor, delicately holding a cup of tea.
Very, very good and funny. I find myself waiting for the next episode, wondering if it could get any worse, but it does. They're all excellent, the story is simple and moving, and you'll be thrilled every episode because it's refreshingly funny and the actors are endearing.
Just started and for the moment it's good
