==Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©==
Set at a small Chinese restaurant, "Wok of Love" follows Seo Poong's attempt at survival, food and love.

Seo Poong ([[Lee Joon-Ho (Junho)|Lee Joon-Ho]]) is a talented chef and worked at a popular Chinese restaurant in a hotel. His fiance Seok Dal-Hee ([[Cha Joo-Young]]) cheated on him with the hotel CEO ([[Kim Sa-Kwon]]). He was also framed by the hotel CEO. Seo Poong swears revenge on the hotel CEO and quits his job. He goes to the Chinese restaurant located across the street from the hotel. The Chinese restaurant there was run by loan shark Doo Chil-Seong ([[Jang Hyuk]]), but the restaurant went out of business due to a lack of customers. Seo Poong decides to take over the restaurant and bring all the customers over from the hotel restaurant. His Chinese restaurant finally opens.

Meanwhile, Dan Sae-Woo ([[Jung Ryeo-Won]]) is a young woman who had a wealthy father. She was engaged, but her father was arrested on her wedding day and her wedding was cancelled. She is now poor. Thanks to Doo Chil-Seong, who fell in love with her at first sight, she begins working at the Chinese restaurant newly opened by Seo Poong.
