Plot
[edit]Chi-ho, a gifted pastry researcher with an exceptional palate but little sense of reality, lives a life entirely devoted to snacks and confectionery. His world takes an unexpected turn when Il-young, an optimistic and straightforward individual, enters his life and introduces him to new perspectives and flavors beyond his comfort zone.
As Chi-ho navigates these changes, he finds himself entangled with an eccentric cast of characters: his carefree and shameless brother Seok-ho, the self-absorbed CEO of the pastry company Byung-hoon, and the unpredictable yet passionate Eun-sook. Together, they challenge Chi-ho's routines and force him to confront the complexities of life outside his carefully controlled world.
What follows is a heartfelt and chaotic journey of self-discovery as Chi-ho learns that life, much like his craft, is full of surprising and delightful flavors.
