Nestled comfortably in a quiet little corner of Seoul, lies an odd little late-night restaurant, where the customers are given free reign when it comes to their drinks, but their food is chosen and prepared by the owner, Park Jin Sung (Jung Il Woo). Specializing in matching a customer’s food to their chosen drinks, Jin Sung has an uncanny ability to provide his patrons with the exact foods they were craving. Providing the restaurant’s diners with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, Jin Sung has but one goal: to treat each person who walks through his doors with delicious food and outstanding customer service.

Beloved by his customers, Jin Sung has made quite a name for himself in the world of late-night dining. A frequent post-work destination for television producer Kim Ah Jin (Kang Ji Young), Jin Sung’s restaurant has long been a favorite, so it was only natural for her to ask the chef to host her newest variety show. Knowing that Jin Sung’s talent would make the show a success, she urges him to take the job and with some persuasion on her part, he eventually agrees. But what happens next, neither of them could have expected.

An overwhelming success, “Midnight Snack Couple” wins Jin Sung instant popularity and fame. Now living in the spotlight, life for Jin Sung gets a little more complicated, especially after he realizes he’s starting to develop feelings for Ah Jin. Working closely with her, things might have developed naturally, but when the successful fashion designer, Kang Tae Wan (Lee Hak Joo) enters the scene, things get taken to a whole new level! Will Jin Sung’s charms be enough to win the heart of the woman he loves, or will he have to use his talent as a chef to ultimately win her affection?

An adorable story full of sweet smiles and late-night munchies, “Sweet Munchies” is a 2020 Viki Original romantic comedy drama directed by Song Ji Won.
