Listed in the catalogue as The Legend Of Kitchen Soldier and known by its original title The Legend of Van Dorn, this 2026 South Korean series follows a man with nothing to his name who turns an army kitchen into the place where his talent, and the base's secrets, come to light.

What is The Legend Of Kitchen Soldier about?

The hero of the series is what Korean slang calls a plastic-spoon man: someone born without money, connections or a family name that opens doors. Conscription lands him in a military kitchen, a posting most soldiers treat as a dead end. He treats it differently. Meal by meal, his cooking earns attention from the men around him, and reputation inside a base travels fast. Food moves through every part of the compound, and so does the cook, so he starts to notice things the chain of command would prefer stayed hidden. The road to becoming a legendary army cook runs straight through those dark corners, and ambition, loyalty and romance pull at him as he decides how far to follow what he has found.

About the cast

Park Ji-hoon takes the lead, supported by Yoon Kyung-ho, Han Dong-hee, Lee Hong-nae, Lee Sang-yi, Jung Woong-in, Kang Ha-kyung and Lim Ji-ho. Yoon Kyung-ho and Jung Woong-in are seasoned character actors in Korean television, and the mix of younger leads with experienced supporting players suits a story set inside a rigid military hierarchy.

Context & significance

Korean dramas built around military service are a recognisable genre of their own, because conscription touches nearly every family in the country. This series layers several strands over that base: it is tagged as drama, romance, history and war, which signals a story with a broader sweep than a simple barracks comedy. Episodes run around 58 minutes, the standard length for a Korean prime-time drama, and the series has been strongly reviewed by viewers since its release. For Persian-speaking fans of Korean television it pairs a familiar underdog arc with a setting they rarely get to see.
