JTBC‘s ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ is foreshadowing a taste battle between chefs using ingredients from the calm man’s refrigerator.
On the ‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ that will air on the 22nd, dark chef Kim Poong, Chinese cuisine goddess Park Eun-young, and cooking school seniors and juniors Jeong Ho-young and Choi Kang-rok will compete using ingredients from the calm man‘s refrigerator.
According to the production team, the calm man will add to the fun by tasting the food blindfolded, just like the blind test that was a hot topic in ‘Black and White Chef: Culinary Class War’. Edward Lee captures the scene on his cell phone, stimulating the desire to own it.
In particular, the calm man’s unpredictable taste foreshadows a difficult cooking competition. MC Ahn Jung-hwan makes everyone laugh by shouting at the calm man‘s answers, which make it difficult to figure out his tastes the more he hears him say, such as “I like green onions but I hate green onion kimchi,” saying, “What do you want me to do now?”
The bickering chemistry between Kim Poong, who secretly steals Park Eun-young’s oil, and Park Eun-young, who notices it, adds to the fun, while Jung Ho-young and Choi Kang-rok draw attention with polar opposite moments. Unlike Jung Ho-young, who shows off the dignity of the original chef of “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator” with his experience and quick movements, Choi Kang-rok cooks more slowly and carefully than anyone else despite the short 15 minutes, which worries the other chefs, making people curious about the fate of the dishes he makes.
Meanwhile, “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,” which returned on the 15th after 5 years, received a good response. The first episode‘s 2049 male and female target viewership rating was 2.9%, the highest among the first episodes of all JTBC entertainment programs aired since August 2021.

‘Please Take Care of My Refrigerator’ will air at 9 p.m. on the 22nd.
