Spices and Seoul
In the heart of bustling Seoul, Amara Okonkwo is making a name for herself, not as a K-pop star or fashion icon, but as the proud owner of Naija Soul, the city's first Nigerian restaurant. With fiery jollof rice, spicy pepper soup, and a heart full of dreams, she's determined to bring a taste of home to Korea.
But when Jihoon Kang, the heir to a powerful chaebol empire steps into her restaurant by accident, his world is turned upside down. She's bold, unapologetically Nigerian, and completely unlike anyone he's ever met.
As their worlds collide, so do cultures, expectations, and hearts. But can love truly bloom between a girl chasing flavor and a man bound by family duty?
A story of food, fate, and falling in love where East meets West, and spice meets Seoul.
