“Cook-Pop”is a popular Korean dish. It's a tasty dish with stewed beef and bone on top of boiled rice.
Mrs Kang Boo-Ja plays the role of a foulmouthed old woman who runs a "Cook-Pop" lunch counter.
Today like always she is talking to her customers in a bitter and unfriendly way. She sings "Pansori"
emotionally in a loud voice as if her own unhappy life is described in the song.
"Pansori" is a song that symbolizes the soul of Korean people. It is sung strongly, freely and
sonorously in a sharp voice. The life of this old woman, which seems to be expressed in the song,
might reflect the modern history of Korean people who suffered from lots of hardship for a long time.
In this drama we can also hear Mrs Shin Young-Hee singing superbly to make this one more attractive.
When you open the lid of a cooking pot in which Cook-Pop stew is boiling, you may feel that you can
see in it fascinating ups and downs of our life.
