K-Drama
Both films focus on the creation of traditional Japanese foods, focusing on being more cinematic rather than documentary style. There are wider stories focusing on family, friendship and the slice-of-life elements. The biggest point of comparison for me, is the indirect focus on intergenerational relationships of family, both in a found family sense and biologically.
The series will take place in a Chinese restaurant. Chef Seo Poong, a chef who goes from being a star chef one day to the cook at a failing neighborhood Chinese restaurant the next. Dan Sae Woo, meaning “sweet shrimp”, lives a life of privilege and leisure—she accepted no gifts on her wedding day because her father gave her a check for 300 million won, and she enjoys horseback riding and fencing. Her greatest moment in life happens to coincide with a random bowl of jajangmyun, which leads her to undergo a big change and begin a new life.
