The Korean Chef

Synopsis
Six owner-chefs stand at the forefront of Korea’s fine dining scene.
Beyond the refined plates and polished dining rooms lies a kitchen where precision is absolute: one second, one millimeter, or one-tenth of a gram can determine success or failure. As artists and entrepreneurs, these chefs face relentless pressure, making critical decisions each day to keep their restaurants, and themselves, alive. This series follows them up close, capturing the quiet intensity and hard choices behind the pursuit of perfection.
