Synopsis[edit]
Jung Da-Jung (Kim Seo-Hyung) is the head of a small book publishing company in Seoul. Her estranged husband Kang Chang-Wook (Han Suk-Kyu) works as a translator and lecturer in the humanities, but has held ambitions to be a writer. Kang Chang-Wook moves back in with his wife and teenage son, Kang Jae-Ho (Jin Ho-Eun), at her request after she is diagnosed with terminal bowel cancer. Due to her condition, she has difficulties eating, but asks Chang-Wook to cook for her every day, even though previously the only thing he knew how to cook was ramen. Chang-Wook begins to cook for his wife, taking recipes from the internet, and begins an online blog recording his progress - which is eagerly followed by his students. He is advised on ingredients by an empathetic local grocer, Yang Su-Won (Yang Kyung-Won). He cooks the food with great care, his cooking skills improve immeasurably, and Da-Jung is able to eat it. As her condition deteriorates, he adjusts the cooking to enable her to still eat something. His actions help rekindle a close relationship with his wife and son. On her death, Jung Da-Jung passes ownership of the publishing company to her long-term editor, Choi Min-Young (Jung Min-Gyul), who passes on to Kang Chang-Wook a proposal for a book devised by Jung Da-Jung based on his blog.
