Wok of Love

A serious connoisseur of Chinese cuisine, chef Seo Pung sets off on a mission to make a bowl of black bean noodles for a starved stranger.

With only a wok and ladle on hand, Pung plans a comeback and meets an unlikely ally. Dan Sae-wu's life falls to pieces on the happiest day of her life.

A fortune cookie keeps Sae-wu from jumping off a bridge. The kitchen heats up as the discord between Pung and Du Chil-seong's crew grows more severe.

Chil-seong offers Sae-wu a job. Pung hires two well-qualified employees, while he resists accepting the new owner of the restaurant.

The Hungry Frying Pan reopens for business. Pung's search for his recipe book leads him to discover a shocking photo.

After a painful conversation with her in-laws, Sae-wu gets drunk at a street vendor stand, where she meets two men who have also met their rock bottom.

An injury forces Pung and Sae-wu to work together and find their rhythm as "wok and ladle." A shady loan shark visits Chil-seong with a warning.

In an effort to turn the restaurant around, Pung reveals an ambitious menu of his own invention. However, his rival also has a trick up his sleeve.

As the date of the shrimp showdown draws near, both the hotel and the Hungry Wok experience a break-in, and secrets are revealed.

Pung debates between loyalty and love, while Sae-wu finds his ambiguous nonanswers greatly frustrating. Both restaurants attempt new dim sum recipes.

As Pung nears a breakthrough, Wang Chun-su tries to convince a talented chef to leave the Hungry Wok.

When a hotel VIP makes a reservation at Pung's restaurant, Chun-su proposes to cook something he swore he'd never make.

As the Hungry Wok excitedly prepares for their first high-profile event, Chun-su plans his final attack.

Customers flood the Hungry Wok as news of its delicious food spreads across town. But with the kitchen busy, Pung becomes less forgiving of mistakes.

Pung learns that his staff are more than just co-workers. An anonymous customer rents out the entire restaurant for a night.

To settle the feud once and for all, Chil-seong entices Yu Seung-ryong with a proposal that would put both restaurants on the line.

Knowing full well that he's been set up to fail, Pung goes on cooking for 100 guests alone. But the contest is not over, and his team is on its way.

Pung announces plans to introduce affordable dishes at his six-star hotel, but is met with much backlash. Chil-seong visits his mother at a hospital.

Despite the disapproval of her loved ones, Sae-wu shows up to work. Chil-seong meets a welcome investor at the hotel property auction.
