What’s Cooking in This Time-Slip Fantasy?
Blending modern wit with Joseon-era grandeur, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty follows Yeon Ji-yeong (Im Yoon-a), a French-trained chef suddenly swept 500 years back by a solar eclipse. To survive, she leans on her culinary genius in the royal kitchen, while across the throne King Yi Heon (Lee Chae-min) tests her skills with his exacting palate. As palace politics intensify, her fight for safety gradually sparks humor, rivalry, and a hint of romance in this sumptuous time-slip adventure.
Is It Based on a True Story or Manhwa?
The series is a work of fiction inspired by history, drawn from the hit web novel Surviving as Yeonsangun’s Chef by Park Guk-jae rather than any manhwa. To soften its ties to the infamous ruler, the drama renames him King Lee Heon while retaining subtle echoes of Yeonsangun’s era.
