Grande Maison Paris
Famous Japanese chef Obana (Takuya Kimura) opens a new restaurant in Paris, driven by his relentless quest for a elusive third Michelin star. As an outsider in the City of Light, he faces steep challenges sourcing top ingredients and adapting to French culinary expectations, testing his unyielding pride and ambition.
Tension simmers with his team, including headstrong patissier Yuan (Ok Taecyeon) and loyal sous chef Rinko (Kyoka Suzuki), as clashing egos threaten kitchen harmony. Disaster strikes at a high-stakes gala dinner when the menu falls flat, forcing Obana to vow to his former mentor: secure three stars or quit the restaurant and abandon Paris forever. Thrust into a high-pressure redemption arc, Obana must bridge cultural divides, rally his fractured brigade, and refine his innovative fusion cuisine amid relentless critics and personal doubts.
This gripping culinary drama captures the cutthroat pursuit of perfection, where culinary mastery collides with human frailty in pursuit of gastronomic immortality.
