In the drama, the pregnant woman Chu Sang-eun, who suffered from poverty and domestic violence by her husband Kim Yoon-beom (played by Choi Jae-rim), undergoes police investigation after her husband suddenly dies. Afterwards, she orders jjajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, fried dumplings, and cola alone at a Chinese restaurant and devours them hurriedly.

The owner of the Chinese restaurant, seeing this, says, "Did that annoying guy who used to hang around disappear? I can tell right away since the police station is right in front of the shop."

He adds, "One is sitting in front of the food sighing deeply, and the other is eating as if starving for months, not feeling the heat or the spiciness, just shoveling it in recklessly."

The scene of Chu Sang-eun eating at the Chinese restaurant resonated strongly with netizens. They commented, "The feeling of liberation after the death of the husband who committed domestic violence was well expressed," and "The emotions the character felt throughout the drama and the emotions felt now are fully conveyed in the scene of eating jjajangmyeon."

As the short video of this scene became a hot topic on SNS, netizens named the food group Chu Sang-eun ate as the 'Husband Death Set Meal.'

They then posted verification shots one after another, saying, "I also ate the 'Husband Death Set Meal'." Along with appetizing photos of jjajangmyeon, sweet and sour pork, fried dumplings, and cola, they wrote, "My husband is gone, but I ate the 'Husband Death Set Meal'," "I couldn't resist and ate it too," and "The best jjajangmyeon mukbang since Na Sang-sil (Han Ye-seul's role in the 2006 MBC drama 'Fantastic Couple')."

Later, verification shots of the set meal eaten at upscale Chinese restaurants were labeled as the 'Husband Death Set Meal Upgrade Version,' and scenes of eating jjajang ramen and frozen fried dumplings were called the 'Husband Death Set Meal Cost-Effective Version.'

Some restaurants even posted advertisements saying they had launched the 'Husband Death Set Meal.'

However, there are also voices of criticism. One netizen pointed out, "No matter how much it's a pun, using the word 'death' lightly is inappropriate." They added, "If it had been called something focusing on liberation, like 'Domestic Violence Liberation Set Meal,' there might not have been any controversy," expressing regret.

Meanwhile, it is reported that actress Lim Ji-yeon ate about four large portions of sweet and sour pork and jjajangmyeon during the filming of the scene.
