Kimchi Family

Kimchi Family is a South Korean television series that blends drama, excellent cooking, family and romance. The show focuses on three main characters. Lee Kang San and Lee Woo Joo are two sisters who have recently inherited their father's traditional Korean restaurant. The restaurant is failing, and the business is not making very much money. It almost seems like too much work to take on the task of rehabilitating it. In addition, Kang San has an excellent job as a chef in an upscale Italian restaurant that she doesn't want to leave. However, the two sisters remember how wonderful the restaurant used to be. They realize that it is truly a special place, not only for them, but for the entire town. Soon, they decide to see if they can bring the restaurant back to life.

Kang San and Woo Joo are soon joined by a young man named Ki Ho Tae who has been drifting from place to place. Ho Tae was abandoned by his mother at a young age. When he was a teenager, he became involved with the Korean mafia. Now Ho Tae has reformed his ways and simply wants to find out more about his past. When he hears about the restaurant and the sisters who are working to revitalize it, he decides to stay on and help them while he continues his search for answers about his life.

Kang San, Woo Joo and Ho Tae quickly gain more outside help from the sisters' extended family members. Soon the staff of the restaurant becomes close and begins to feel more like a family. As the series progresses, things start to look up for the staff of the restaurant. Romance begins to bloom and, although there are still many challenges ahead, it seems that everything might work out for the new Kimchi family.
