Cool Guys, Hot Ramen[1] (Korean: 꽃미남 라면가게; RR: Kkonminam Ramyeongage; lit.

Yang Eun-bi (Lee Chung-ah), a university student in her mid-20s, prepares for her civil service exam with the dream of being a high school teacher.

She accidentally encounters Cha Chi-soo (Jung Il-woo), the arrogant heir to the biggest food conglomerate in South Korea.

After Eun-bi's father (Jung In-gi) passes away, she is surprised to find out that he has left his ramen restaurant to Choi Kang-hyuk (Lee Ki-woo), whom he had helped when the latter was a troubled youngster, instead of to her.

Eun-bi, after losing her student-teaching assignment because of her conflicts with Chi-soo, starts to work at the ramen shop along with homeless fellow students, Kim Ba-wool (Park Min-woo) and Woo Hyun-woo (Cho Yoon-woo).

Its popularity spawned a webcomic version of the show, taking off from characters Ba-wool and Hyun-woo as 20-year-old men managing a ramen restaurant.

The cartoon has had over 1.8 million page views since its release on online portal Nate, with the number of visitors increasing by an average 32 percent per day.
