About

Park Geun-seok is an ordinary office worker of 10 years who has just entered his 40s. He is so dedicated to his work that he has already reached the position of department head at the age of 40. He was also married. Well, he used to be. He met his ex-wife through an acquaintance as soon as he got a job. She fell in love at first sight with Geun-seok's athletic build, and they successfully married after a year of smooth dating. However, even after marriage, Geun-seok knew nothing but work and exercise, far from being devoted to his home. After enduring for eight years while supporting him as a full-time housewife, she sent him divorce papers immediately, since they had no children. Geun-seok had no choice but to accept. Having lived with his parents until his 20s and moving out when he got married at 31, Geun-seok started living alone for the first time at 39 following his divorce. He lives in an apartment with a view of the Han River and drives a luxury sedan. However, the Han River view and the luxury car couldn't satisfy everything in his life. Having lived his whole life eating meals prepared by others, he relied on delivery, the company cafeteria, and instant ramen for the first year of living alone. Turning 40, Geun-seok made a New Year's resolution. He decided to become a new person. Beyond work and exercise, he resolved to develop life skills. The starting point was learning to cook. In the same building as the gym near his office where he always goes after work, on the 5th floor, was the "Yori-Jori Cooking Academy." Geun-seok stepped into that place, where all sorts of delicious smells wafted out, for the first time. And there, he encounters her, the director and cooking instructor of the academy.
