Description:

In the game of life, we all face countless quests of choice. Kang Seong Jae, who enlisted to escape a harsh reality, one day encounters a mysterious virtual “Quest” screen to become an army cook. With each quest he clears, hidden secrets of the base, even those tied to his father’s death, begin to surface. After losing his father, Kang Seong Jae enlists in the army to escape reality and soon gains a reputation as a “problem soldier.” But one day, a mysterious Army Cook Quest screen appears before his eyes. Accepting its challenges, he awakens the Eyes of the Chef and becomes the base’s ace cook. As he completes each quest, Seong Jae uncovers a dark web of military corruption. A senior sergeant at Ganglim Base, Yun Dong Hyeon is an army cook infamous for his terrible cooking and zero sense of taste. Counting down the days to discharge, his peaceful days are disrupted by Seong Jae’s arrival. Annoyed yet unable to ignore him, Dong Hyeon finds himself reluctantly helping Seong Jae clear his quests.
