posted on by Wonhee Cho
A live-action adaptation of the hit web novel and webtoon The Legend of Kitchen Soldier has been officially confirmed for production.
The Legend of 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.
