Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. kdrama is of the romance genre. Set against a colorful mix of Joseon and modern Korea, this drama tells the story of Yeon Ji Yeong, a fiercely talented South Korean French cuisine chef at the pinnacle of her career, who unexpectedly finds herself time-slipped into a royal palace in the past. There, she’s put to the test in the royal kitchen, having to cook for the Tyrant Yi Heon – a monarch with both a refined palate and a fiery temper.
Thrown into the heart of palace rivalries, Yeon Ji Yeong must use her modern smarts to navigate political intrigue, high-stakes cooking, and the possibility of love blossoming in the most unlikely of places. Her goal is to outlast the royal kitchen’s challenges, win over the unapproachable King, and return to her present.
