tvN’s highly anticipated weekend drama “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has dropped its first set of stunning posters, and fans are already buzzing with excitement!
Based on a popular web novel, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a fantasy romance drama about a French chef who time-slips 500 years into the past and finds herself in the royal kitchen—facing the ultimate challenge: cooking for the era’s most feared tyrant and ultimate foodie. The drama is helmed by Jang Tae Yoo, the acclaimed director behind hits like My Love from the Star, Deep-Rooted Tree, Painter of the Wind, and Lovers of the Red Sky.
A Striking Visual Contrast: The Chef Meets the Tyrant
The newly unveiled posters perfectly capture the unexpected collision of two worlds. In the heart of a bustling royal kitchen—filled with baskets of fresh ingredients and jars of seasonings—stands Yeon Ji Young (Lim YoonA), radiating confidence in her pristine white chef’s uniform as she focuses on her craft. The modern chef’s outfit against the backdrop of a Joseon-era kitchen creates an eye-catching dissonance that hints at the drama’s quirky charm.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the main poster, King Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min) sits regally on an ornate jade throne, surrounded by a lavish royal feast. The tagline reads:
“Let’s prepare the finest royal banquet—even a tyrant will never forget.”
From opulent dishes blending Korean and Western cuisines to the king’s satisfied expression, everything about the scene screams luxury and drama, leaving viewers hungry for more—both literally and figuratively.
Two Taglines, Two Mindsets
The character posters go deeper, revealing the stark contrast between the protagonists:
-
Yeon Ji Young: “I’ve always dreamed of being a three-star chef… but today, I became the tyrant’s chef.”
-
Lee Heon: “Even for a single day—if the food doesn’t suit my taste—you will face death.”
With her life on the line and his taste buds impossible to please, can Ji Young survive in this high-stakes culinary showdown?
Why You Should Be Excited
“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” promises a mouthwatering mix of humor, tension, and romance—served with a side of time-travel intrigue. The drama’s unique premise sets the stage for sizzling chemistry between a headstrong modern chef and a king obsessed with perfection, delivering a story that’s as visually stunning as it is emotionally rich.
The production team teased:
“Just like the perfect dish comes from a blend of contrasting flavors, Ji Young and King Lee Heon will create an extraordinary synergy. Expect a drama that comforts your soul and whets your appetite.”
The feast begins this August on tvN.
