🎥 "Tastefully Yours": Introduction

Short Video Overview

This scene captures the offbeat rhythm of the restaurant “Jeongje (정제),” where the chef, manager, and staff are entirely out of sync. The manager (Kang Ha-neul) asks the chef (Go Min-si) to prepare a pot of rice just for a photo to post on social media, but the chef flatly refuses, saying it’s unnecessary. Meanwhile, despite the manager's warning not to make kimchi pancakes during working hours, the headstrong server Jin Myeong-suk (Kim Shin-rok) prepares one, only to spill kimchi all over the manager’s prized table.
