For generations, Arirang has chosen only the most expert and gifted chefs to continue its heritage of making traditional Korean food.

When Sung Do-hee (Jeon In-hwa) is appointed the next successor, rival Baek Seol-hee (Kim Bo-yeon) will stop at nothing to claim her stake on the restaurant.

The forces of greed and jealousy drive both women to risk family and happiness until unimaginable tragedy and loss strike both of their lives.

However, Ha In-joo (Seo Hyun-jin), the daughter of Sung Do-hee, is determined to fill her mother's shoes.

Joon-young and In-joo, it turns out, share more than just a desire to master Korean cuisine—their pasts, their loves, and who their identities are tangled in a breathtaking, tragic, and triumphant drama about what it means to preserve truth and integrity in the midst of lies and corruption.
