Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The chaebol heir trope peaked in 2014 K-dramas, but Big Man flipped it by making the protagonist reject the fantasy entirely rather than reform it from within.
Kang Ji-hwan did his own cooking scenes after training with actual restaurant chefs, which explains why the knife work looks genuinely stressful rather than actor-pretty.
