Plot
Korean-Japanese director Gu Su Yeon makes his directorial debut with the mouthwateringly delicious The Yakiniku Movie: Bulgogi. As the title clearly states, pride of place goes to juicy, bite-sized meat, and viewers will get a delightful eyeful of food, food, and more food in this fabulously fulfilling gourmet comedy. Reveling in Japan's love for food-themed shows, the film revolves around a culinary battle of David and Goliath proportions, cheekily parodying Japanese cooking shows with Iron Chef-like editing, excited running commentary, and comedic how-to segments. The Yakiniku Movie also shines a light on the food culture of Japan's resident Korean population, proving that tasty food transcends all boundaries.
Matsuda Ryuhei (Nightmare Detective) and Arata (Ping Pong) star as long-lost brothers from Korea who meet in an epic culinary showdown on a wacky Japanese cooking show. Matsuda's Tatsuji is a scrappy small-towner who learned from his adopted grandfather, cooking with traditional recipes and affordable offals. Arata's Torao is a rich and arrogant cooking champion with a manipulative Japanese mother, spinning fusion cuisine with the best ingredients. It's old school versus nouvelle when the two maverick chefs compete in the cook-off of their lives.
