Synopsis
Heo’s Diner Season 1 follows Heo Gyun (Xiumin), a Joseon Dynasty food columnist and progressive thinker, who flees assassins sent by corrupt official Lee Yi-cheom (Lee Sae-on) after his ideals threaten the status quo. During his escape, he mysteriously time-travels 400 years to modern Seoul, where he collapses near a modest diner run by Bong Eun-sil (Chu So-jung) and her mother. Initially skeptical, Eun-sil shelters him, and Gyun’s culinary genius—recreating her mother’s dishes—earns her trust. As Gyun navigates modern life, he mistakes celebrity chef Lee Hyuk (Lee Sae-on) for his half-brother Yi-cheom, sparking confusion. Episode 2 ends with Gyun discovering Eun-sil’s mother unconscious and bleeding on the street, heightening stakes as he calls for help.
