Lee Eun-ji, Mimi, Lee Young-ji and An Yu-jin return in Cosmic Rice Cake Shop, bringing their comic chemistry to a new assignment: opening and operating a rice-cake shop.
The tvN program begins with the four competing for the position of head chef. The role carries broad authority in the kitchen, turning a practical cooking task into a spirited contest among the cast.
Their shop is presented as the first Earth branch of a fictional business headquartered on the moon. The group arrives in Goheung after receiving the shop assignment as a penalty during the second season of Earth Arcade.
The competition intensifies when the judges are revealed. Questions about fairness quickly become part of the comedy, while each contestant tries to distinguish her dish through presentation and technique.
As the others focus on recipes built around rice cakes, Mimi faces an unexpected setback against the clock. The episode leaves the outcome open as the contestants race to complete their dishes before time expires.
