The cast of Korean drama “Sikgaek” (식객; literally ‘Best Chef’) met with the press on June 9 at SBS to promote the drama, which is scheduled to start showing on June 17 in Korea.
Based on Heo Yeong-man’s popular manhwa (comic), Shikgaek is about a chef on his journey of discovery to become the rightful heir of Korea’s last royal chef. The drama stars Kim Rae-won, Nam Sang-mi, Kwon Oh-joong, Kim So-yeon and Woon Ki-joon etc.
(L-R) Woon Ki-joon, Choi Bul-Ahn, Kim Rae-won and Woon Ki-joon
Nam Sang-mi and Kim Rae-won
A movie version of Shikgaek (also known as “Le Grand Chef“) was showed in late 2007 (starring Kim Kang-woo and Lee Hana) and it was quite a hit. I watched the movie and like it too… hopefully the drama could be an even better one, or at least could emulate the movie’s success.

nam sang mi is cute, but whazup with the shorts?
Ya, she seems to get cuter as age grows, somehow.
Nam Sang-mi is starring as a reporter in the drama; perhaps she is just trying to portray the character’s style and image?
omg, i swear i saw the exact shoes nam sang-mi is wearing yesterday when i went shopping =D
kwon sang woo? O.o…
Ooopss… my bad, I meant Kim Rae-won. Sorry, and thanks for the correction.

ari… thanks for the compliment. Frankly, I don’t need you to really really like me :p but I’ll try to post more about KRW in future. He is one of those actors that keep a relatively low profile, you won’t find much gossips about him beside his work.
