Sung-Chan
[27 - 29 years old; Kim Rae Won] Descendant of “Dae Ryung Sook Soo” who was in the king's grace in the late Chosun period. However, at the time the “Dae Ryung Sook Soo” met an unjust death and as that truth became unrevealed, the upturned family continues its line in a mountainside living a normal and poor life. In the year when Sung Chan turns ten years old, Oh-Sook Soo comes to him, claiming that he is Sung Chan’s grandfather’s friend’s son and Sung Chan goes to Seoul to be raised together with Oh’s son, Bong Joo.
Jin Soo
[24 – 26 years old; Nam Sang Mi] She is outgoing, emotional, and a tomboy so she may seem annoying, but she also has a childlike and lovable nature. After she graduated from college in the country, she went to Seoul to take a qualifying exam to get into a Seoul newspaper agency. When she first arrived at the Seoul station, the first place she went to while dragging her large suitcase was “Un Ahm Jung (운암정)”. As a gourmand, she possesses an extraordinary interest and eye for food, and so her dream is to become a food columnist.
Bong Joo
[29 – 32 years old; Kwon Oh Joong] Mr. Oh’s son. As a child, he couldn’t understand why his father treated the mischievous Sung Chan with so much hospitality, but he acted the older brother part well. As Sung Chan turned to cooking and became more serious, his father’s worry lessened, but inversely, the Don Quixote of the kitchen Sung Chan became Bong Joo’s worry. As he watches Sung Chan who has zero level of skill or emotion to deserve to be “Dae Ryung Sook Soo” (royal chef) descendant, he starts to feel rivalry and jealousy.
Min Woo
[27 – 29 years old; Won Ki Joon] He is a top cook along with Sung Chan and Bong Joo in “Un Ahm Jung (운암정)”. He managed to go through that difficult and picky barrier into “Un Ahm Jung” (ah, I guess it’s the name of their restaurant place?) and as he heads for the best, he has become a sturdy pillar of support of Un Ahm Jung today. However he ends up meeting Sung Chan who he had problems with in high school at Un Ahm Jung and as he is forced to be in closer range with Sung Chan, he doesn’t know what to do.
Joo Hee
[28 – 30 years old; Kim So Yeon] Mr. Oh’s personal assistant. She is Mr. Oh’s right arm as he plays a central role in planning Un Ahm Jung’s future. She is a woman who understands and knows Mr. Oh’s intentions the best. She is the daughter of Mr. Oh’s friend who runs Un Ahm Jung’s branch in LA, and when Bong Joo was studying abroad in America, the two spent time like siblings. From a long time ago, Bong Joo liked Joo Hee but when he reveals that she is already in love with Sung Chan.
Mr. Oh
[Late 60s; Choi Bul Ahm] He is Bong Joo’s father and the current head of Un Ahm Jung. He is the only person who knows the buried secrets regarding Bong Joo and Sung Chan. In order to wash his past sins, he takes in Sung Chan and treats him better than his real son, but all Sung Chan gives him is one disappointment after another. However, when Sung Chan picks up cooking and shows skills, he reconfirms that in fact the blood of “Dae Ryung Sook Soo” runs in him.
