The story of the k-drama ‘Chocolate’ Lee Kang, a neurosurgeon, and Moon Cha Young, a chef. Lee Kang and Moon Cha Young first met when they were kids in the countryside. Living with his mother, Lee Kang dreamt of opening a small restaurant. As he saw Cha Young looking for food, he made her something delicious. While he asked her to come and see her the next day as well, he couldn’t be there because of some unfortunate event. Cut to the future, Lee Kang moved to the city and worked as a neurosurgeon at her grandmother’s hospital. Moon Cha Young became a chef and lived in Greece, running away from her family.
Having no idea about each other’s existence other than the memories from their childhood, the two met once again. As Moon Cha Young becomes a chef at the hospice ward where Lee Kang is transferred because of the biased board members, things aren’t the same. While Cha Young did remember who Lee Kang was, Lee Kang, on the other hand, had forgotten about Cha Young and needed a little reminder. Leading a life close yet so far, the truth comes out soon as they heal their own emotional scars by cooking meals for the patients at the hospice.
