Web Novel, Webtoon Kitchen Soldier Gets Live-Action Adaptation
posted on by Wonhee Cho
A live-action adaptation of the hit web novel and webtoon Kitchen Soldier has been officially confirmed for production.
Kitchen Soldier, originally written by JRobin and drawn by Jin-soo Lee, follows a conscripted soldier who unexpectedly finds his calling in the army kitchen. Armed with a kitchen knife instead of a rifle, he embarks on a game-like quest to become a legendary mess hall chef, leveling up through bizarre culinary challenges.
Actor Ji-hoon Park has been cast in the lead role as Seong-jae Kang, a young man from a difficult background who discovers his hidden talents after enlisting. The role follows his breakout performance in the webtoon based live-action series Weak Hero Class 2.
Currently neither the web novel nor the webtoon have English releases.
