A Explosive Encounter with Hong Hwa-yeon from the StartAirs Every Saturday and SundayJTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Final Table' premiered with a viewership rating of 1.9%. / Broadcast screen capture[THE FACT|Reporter Choi Soo-bin] An extraordinary connection has begun between actor Ahn Hyo-seop and Hong Hwa-yeon.The first episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Final Table' (written and directed by Kim Do-hoon), which aired on the 24th, depicted the unusual first meeting between genius chef Kang Han (played by Ahn Hyo-seop) and restaurant owner Choi Song-yi (played by Hong Hwa-yeon). The viewership rating was 1.9% (Nielsen Korea, nationwide household basis), marking a somewhat disappointing start.Kang Han, who had been wandering abroad for a long time, returned to Korea two years ago and lived in seclusion in nature. He honed his cooking skills to prepare the best meal for his deceased father, finally achieved his goal by setting up the ancestral rites table, and prepared to leave for the United States again.Before his departure, Kang Han visited Restaurant Familia to taste a dish he had with his father in his childhood. However, the restaurant, once bustling with customers, was now silent, and the taste and condition of the food were vastly different from the past. Feeling that his memories with his father had been defiled, Kang Han headed to the kitchen and angrily exclaimed, "You have disgraced the name of Familia."However, Kang Han's words deeply hurt Choi Song-yi, the owner of Familia. Choi Song-yi's father passed away after being framed for opposing Pyeonyeon Group, and Familia, having lost its owner-chef, was on the verge of closure. Choi Song-yi, who had been striving to protect her father's restaurant under difficult circumstances, eventually burst into tears.Adding to the chaos, a fire extinguisher installed in the kitchen suddenly exploded, turning Familia into an instant disaster area. Attention is focused on what kind of relationship Kang Han and Choi Song-yi, who clashed from their very first meeting, will develop.'Final Table', consisting of a total of 12 episodes, airs every Saturday at 10:40 PM and Sunday at 10:30 PM.subin7134@tf.co.kr[Entertainment Department | ssent@tf.co.kr]
