Fans of time-slip K-dramas like “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo” and “Mr. Queen” are in for a treat with “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty,” a new Netflix original series premiering August 23.
Starring Yoona of “King the Land” and “Big Mouth” and rising star Lee Chae-min from “Crash Course in Romance” and “High Cookie,” “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a fantasy rom-com that blends sizzling chemistry, palace intrigue, and culinary survival — all with a time-bending twist.
The series follows Yeon Jiyoung (Lim Yoon-a), a modern chef trained in French cuisine, who is suddenly transported from her modern kitchen to the royal palace of the past. There, she’s ordered to cook for King Yeonhui (Lee Chae-min), a feared monarch with a killer palate and a deadly temper.
Caught between ruthless palace politics and the unpredictable moods of a royal tyrant, Yeon Jiyoung must use her skills to survive — and maybe soften the heart of the king along the way.
King Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min), a cold-blooded ruler with a god-tier sense of taste, distrusts everyone. He punishes mediocrity without mercy, and rules the palace with an iron palate. Can anyone cook their way into his heart?
As the perfectionist chef and the intellectual king clash over food, their unlikely connection slowly entwines their destinies. Could this unexpected bond also rewrite the future?
Directed by Chang Tae-yoo, known for “My Love from the Star,” the series is packed with rich visuals, mouthwatering food cinematography, and sharp romantic tension.
“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” premieres August 23, only on Netflix.
