Unable to accept his departure, she starts working part-time at Zatsu, hoping to uncover the real reason. There, alongside the taciturn owner Zhou, she cooks up a bond seasoned with hardship and healing: two women from starkly different backgrounds join strengths, overcome trials, and prove that dishes prepared together can restore even the reader’s spirit. Life Pattern Korea.
