Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Yeon Ji-Young (Lim Yoon-A) is a French chef with a cheerful and determined personality. One day, she wins a French cooking competition, but she somehow finds herself transported to the Joseon era. She happens to serve her food to King Yi Heon (Lee Chae-Min) of Joseon. He is the worst tyrant who wields absolute power. He does have extraordinary sense of taste. He is able to taste differences of food when even the weather changes. He happens to try Yeon Ji-Young's food and likes what she made. He decides to take her to the royal palace and have her cook for him. Yeon Ji-Young, who was offered work at a Michelin 3-star rated restaurant in Paris, finds herself working for the tyrant King Yi Heon and presents fusion royal cuisine just for him.

Meanwhile, Kang Mok-Ju (Kang Han-Na) is King Yi Heon's concubine. She is greedy and hides her endless ambition for power. Prince Jesan (Choi Gwi-Hwa) is a member of royal family. He is the most powerful political enemy of King Yi Heon.

Notes

"Bon Appétite, Your Majesty" takes over tvN's Sat. & Sun. 21:20 time slot previously occupied by "Law and the City" and followed by "Typhoon Family" October, 2025.
Based on web novel "Yeonsankunui Chefro Salanamki” by Park Kuk-Jae (published October 5, 2022 - August 31, 2023 via Naver).
Actor Park Sung-Hoon was first cast to play the lead male role of King Lee Heon, but he was involved in controversy after posting on December 30, 2024 an explicit image from a parody AV video of the Netflix series "Squid Game" on his Instagram Story. Following that incident, production company Studio Dragon and Park Sung-Hoon came to the decision to have him step down from his role in the drama series.

Dulce Chua May 02 2026 3:35 pm Lee Chae-Min is a good actor. He acts very well. Not just face but talent as well.

Panseokah Feb 07 2026 3:58 pm Many sweet and enjoyable moments, especially during the food competition. The end changed vibes insanely.

CHOI Jan 26 2026 9:35 am Absolutely loved this Kdrama. Excellent acting, especially from Lim Yoon-A, who was utterly convincing as a highly proficient chef, and very funny too. Great ensemble piece all round really. This had all the really excellent qualities that I have come to expect from high-level Korean dramas. Unlike some other commenters I found the narrative entirely engrossing and the parts involving food extremely interesting and actually exciting. I do get the feeling that people who don;t like it wanted it to be completely different - I'm judging it on whether it succeeded in what it set out to do, and that's a complete success. Apart from anything else I will at least try watching anything with Lim Yoon-A in now.

Sunflower Jan 12 2026 9:25 am I really didn't like this show at all - I hoped it would develop to a not boring drama - but it got even worse.

Sorry I really don't get what was nice about this drama with making food, recipes and drawings of food.... as the main theme...

And I am not giving a better review despite of excellent cast - the script was boring...

irish Dec 29 2025 10:21 pm I’m glad this drama turned out to be good and not just overhyped because of the leads. The episodes are long but they’re not boring. I just wish they had shown us how Lee Heon was able to clear his name after Jiyeong disappeared. Thank God Lee Chaemin ended up playing the king! I don’t think it would have hit the same if it had been played by Park Sunghoon

William Dec 05 2025 12:21 am This show was really good until the last two episodes. The female lead became a tragically stupid character and the King became just as idiotic. The stupidity of the actions damn near made me forget what made the first 10 episodes good..

There must be an award for writers who are this terrible at coming up with a sound ending. It didn't have to be perfect, but to make the characters insufferably dumb i ruined the show!

Mae Phils. Dec 02 2025 5:42 am I watched Bon Appétit without expecting anything. I wasn’t even familiar with the male lead at first, but as the episodes went by, I was genuinely amazed by him. His acting was so natural and powerful that it completely drew me in. I even caught myself searching for his other series because I wanted to see more of his work. But honestly, he absolutely nailed it in this drama, his performance made the whole show unforgettable.

Bimini Nov 25 2025 9:57 am Sorry. I keep coming back to this because this got a relatively high rating, but I just don't get it. The food is fabulous, but I won't be watching it to the end.

Iya Nov 22 2025 6:13 am i was truly amazed. everything looked so beautiful nd perfectly made. i enjoyed it so much, and i can’t get over how impressive it was. honestly, i don’t think i'll ever get over this series huhu, it’s just too amazing!!

Nancy Nov 16 2025 7:21 pm Such a wonderful series❤️?

Magda USA Nov 12 2025 11:06 pm Excellent!!!!! Wow! Way better than I expected! Great plot! Very different and interesting! Romantic, tender, funny, action and of course betrayal. Great cast of actors and actresses! Leading male actor, Lee Chae Min, as the King, wow! Great actor! Super good looking! Handsome and beautiful face! I definitely want to see him in many more series as leading man. Yoon A, Precious and so pretty! Great actress, very versatile! All the cook cast were great! Really everyone did such a great job! A must watch again! Oh and I hope noth, Chae Min annd Yoon A get awards for this!

Bella kim Nov 02 2025 11:23 am I love your movie i wish i could go to korean

Fifi Oct 31 2025 5:03 pm I was forcing myself to watch it. I am on EP 3 and I really want to stop so I just keep on fast forwarding it because I want to understand the hype.

The actors are unquestionnably very good. But the story line is dragging specially on the first 3 episodes

SpinalTap Oct 31 2025 1:12 pm I can see that the director really loves Mr. Queen. You can see many references in each episode.

It was fun watching it. Even though script falls a little. Lee Chae Min really played well.

Yous05 Oct 30 2025 6:59 am My favorite historical/fantasy drama love it, The plot was so great the FL/ML was fantastic, combining with cooking, romance, the ending was so beautiful.perfect chemistry.best drama 2025.love,love. Thanks for the director,and all cast, team.

Michael Oct 30 2025 12:11 am Bon appetit your majesty is just so good

Theresa Oct 24 2025 3:41 am Seriously one of the best Kdramas I’ve watched recently - especially in the historical/fantasy genre. I don’t usually watch sageuk unless it comes highly recommended, and yes Bon Appetit Your Majesty didn’t let me down.

We know it’s a fantasy with time-travel, but it’s also rich with historical details, clever references, lol moments, inventive cuisines and of course heartfelt romance.

Being a rookie, Lee Chae‑min’s acting really impressed me (I remember him from a small role in Crash Course in Romance). And Yoona (still love her in K2) was just a sweetie. Their chemistry was honestly great despite the 10 year age gap.

Sure, some viewers including me found the ending a bit rushed and under-explained but after all it’s fantasy, and who doesn’t want a happy ending ?

Kdrama Llama Oct 18 2025 11:29 am The fact it’s mostly a period / time travel fantasy drama meant I was a little unsure what the expect but I was curious after reading some of the early reviews… This was such a fun watch and it had lots of genuinely laugh out loud moments, mostly related to food and facial expressions. Lee Chae Min has reached 1ML status now and there’s no going back now, he was wonderful here as the entitled but vulnerable king and Yoona was again not the typical female lead, but as usual, she really delivers. I loved Yoon Seo-a too and her nose! My only grumble was the super quick wrap up and unexplained plot hole at the end (you’ll know it when you see it). Give this show a watch, you won’t regret it, it’s * chefs kiss *

cjn.0014 Oct 14 2025 4:31 am Finally, I got to watch a drama that’s lighthearted yet never boring — the kind that helps relieve stress and makes you want to watch it over and over again.

It’s my first time seeing Lee Chae Min, and I must say, he’s an impressive actor for a rookie. He truly fits the role of a king — from his strong, masculine presence to his deep, commanding voice. I was especially moved by his emotional scenes; when he cried in anger, his tears fell so naturally that my heart ached for him every time.

I’ll definitely be watching out for his future projects.

Manu Oct 12 2025 9:05 pm I loved the drama so much. You laugh, you cry, you just Enjoy the movie all the way from episode 1 to episode 12. It is interesting, cast is really fine. I don't want to spoil anything like others did. If you haven't watched it yet, you should watch it! Good luck.

Jia Oct 11 2025 1:19 am The show itself is enjoyable, but there's so much plothole and i feel like the writing is a bit lousy on some parts that could've been well prepared. A lot of the time things feels repetitive and rushed. By episode 3 i decided to turn my brain off just to watch it without actually thinking too much about how much doesn't make sense and are created for entertainment purposes lol. 7/10 from a personal standpoint.

Lene Oct 08 2025 3:38 pm The end if the movie was just unrealistic, first having cooks go against trained soliders with spoons against swords....... Just unbelievable. Then gong gul Was just useless because as the spy he was supposed to have discovered most of it and prevented it. She she running faster than the uncles sword. Hmmmmmm. If it's Indian film we'd laugh but oooh it's K-drama, it's still not allowed. Good drama but terrible ending.

Nullifi3d Oct 07 2025 7:37 pm Cringy crying scene by Yi Heon in the last episode. First few episodes were fun but the remaining plot scenes with the Uncle were unnecessary.

Nadia Oct 07 2025 1:03 am Did Lee Heon know that Gong Gil was the one who had shot him with an arrow in the first episode? Have I missed something?

Sief Oct 06 2025 12:20 pm This is the only historical drama I watch that I completed every drama I watch historical I can't even finish, love this one the cast are perfect I really enjoyed it I even rewatch it!

Rain Oct 06 2025 12:19 am I just hope, the production team or the writer of the novel collect and publish all the recipes that are cooked in the series, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, even the dishes that were made by the Mings. Please make it as a book titled Mangunrok and include photos of his majesty’s reaction to each dish and complete the look of the book with the Jade butterfly ornament/pendant. That would be a nice souvenir from the series and I will be the first in line to purchase it.

Renwa Oct 05 2025 7:12 pm Love reading all the accolades for this wonderful K Drama…all well deserved. The phenomena not commented upon is how this one drama appealed to viewers in so many countries…an international love fest…every time a reviewer mentioned the country they were watching from, it just warmed my heart to be in the company of so many who can share laughter together. Thank you all.

Chris Oct 05 2025 10:59 am Loved the drama, but I cannot stand the character named Yu Kun (Kim Hyung-Muk)-Ming Envoy’s group, trying to speak Mandarin. Other characters were also trying to speak Chinese but theirs is more accurate, while Yu Kun’s Chinese speaking is utter rubbish with no sense, hence that is just disrespectful.

Trx Oct 05 2025 6:07 am Ending felt rushed could of had a extra ep to close it up. Like instead of her running and taking the hit, she could of got the sword amd stab the unc in the back, but plot...was expecting the descendants to show and the king to show up in the future.

All in all a good romance kdrama 7/10

Wendy Li Oct 04 2025 2:37 am Very well written and directed. Excellent acting and superb romantic story .

Morena Ruiz Oct 03 2025 11:21 pm The best Romantic action series i ever see. I cry , laugh, and got anger for the traitors of the series but overall was super entertaining enjoyable for me is 5 ? ?

Tobiloba Oct 03 2025 4:59 pm It is great! I love it

Elina Oct 03 2025 2:51 pm This movie is truly one of the best series of the year. I loved it so much and didn't want it to end. I hope it has a spin-off.

Gel Oct 01 2025 10:16 am You know an actor is truly amazing when their performance gets under your skin. That’s exactly how I feel watching Kang Han Na. Her villain roles make me want to jump into the screen and fight back for the main lead. Yet in variety shows, she’s completely different, so fun and lovable. She’s seriously underrated. I really hope she gets more projects because her talent deserves the spotlight Yoona and Chae Min did really well on their roles too. My only question is where did Cook Yeon's phone go? Lol

Hoping for s2 too.

Saylove Oct 01 2025 12:54 am I absolutely love the graphics portrayed during the food scenes, especially when they were eating the food... truly remarkable! How did they come up with such concepts. Kudos to everyone involved, I really had an amazing time watching... no dull moment. I wish there was season 2.

justafan Sep 30 2025 12:15 pm I need season 2 about his majesty's pov during last episode. Jebal!!!!

Maximus Sep 30 2025 2:43 am Some silly romantic scenes are too annoying. Also, how the court consort get away with what she does is frustrating and simply makes the King look stupid. Still a good watch, but the nags make it less amazing.

Nia Sep 30 2025 1:41 am An exciting, addictive drama. It successfully keeps viewers waiting for each episode. Awesome. Love the king and the chef.

Ema Sep 29 2025 7:06 pm Actually started this drama without having a high expectations, but Wow, this drama was super lightweight and funny. I didn’t feel the time passing while watching it. High applause for yoona and chae min for bringing their roles to life.

KST Sep 29 2025 12:32 pm Really overjoyed watching this drama. Will miss chona and chef!!! Really recommended for all!

Joshua Gill? Sep 29 2025 10:31 am I came across Bon Appétit, Your Majesty just by chance and it was the title that caught my attention. I sat down to watch it and I became consumed with joy looking forward to watching episode after episode and then when I could, every time I came home. As the plot unfolded and they cooked that lovely food, I was scribbling notes. It made me really smile and laugh with joy, especially when the food was eaten, I had an emotional connection. A beautiful story about love, food, royalty, the music, the martial arts. It was fantastic. I will watch it again. Well done to everybody involved.

Ddeonu Sep 29 2025 9:03 am Oh my gosh, I love this drama so much. A very good drama, funny, delicious and also suspenseful. It is a pity why it has to end so quickly. I am very sad. Lim Yoona, she performed her role very well. It doesn't look stiff at all or crispy. SHe's very good. Read chaemin. This is the first time I've seen him play. It turns out to be no less good. He portrays the character of a good, funny and also assertive king. As well as the players of palace chefs. The point is that everything is playing very well. This drama is not too sadistic. A historical drama that I like. Rate from me 10/10.

Adiv Sep 29 2025 6:38 am Awesome! Best drama of the year. Everything was on point and everyone involved did an amazing job. It was very entertaining and engaging, I really enjoyed watching it from start to finish. Congrats to the casts and crew. Lee Chae-Min and Yonaa are a natural talent.

First time in my life I had to wait weekly, looking forward to watch a series being aired. The food scenes, the visuals and the leads chemistry kept me hooked. There were times I smiled, laughed really hard and cried... I wish for another fun drama like this. I would really miss Bon Appétit

Mal Sep 29 2025 5:01 am Will there be a seaaong 2 ? Yaaaykssss! Daebak!!!!!

Rika Sep 29 2025 2:53 am O M G

I absolutely LOVE Bon Appétit, Your Majesty! It’s such a fun and entertaining K-drama. I can’t stop watching! The storyline keeps me hooked, and the visuals are just beautiful. Yoona is my absolute fave (as always !), and Le Chae Min?? His talking eyes say everything without a word ... so expressive! The chemistry, the comedy, the food scenes… everything is just aww.

Noonim Sep 29 2025 12:57 am This drama, from start to finish was amazing!!!!! I am sooooooo going to miss this cast!!!!!! Please……I hope you all will meet again in a future project together. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Rosè Sep 29 2025 12:29 am One of the best kdrama this year. I can't stop thinking about it. I'm crying I'm no longer have a kdrama to watch every weekend.

luna Sep 28 2025 11:16 pm this drama deserves to win many awards!

Ruth - Taurus Sep 28 2025 11:08 pm Thank you. I really enjoy the show, this is the first show that I watch until it finished. I don't know who is Lee Chae-Min before, but he plays really natural in the show. I realize he must be worked so hard to achieve the great result. And thank you for Yoo na, you are a great artist

Badgalbariti Sep 28 2025 10:49 pm I have finished this show and its one of the most amazing shows I have seen in a long time..I even cried at the end haha.I know that usually in K-dramas (like many other K-dramas that I loved in the past) they don't usually do a second season, but honestly, if they did, it would be a dream for me. Would totally recommend to watch this show on Netflix.

Lucy Sep 28 2025 7:19 pm Best drama this summer!

Ron Sep 28 2025 6:02 pm Going to rewatch from the beginning. Best drama of 2025. Lived lee cha emin and yoona’s best drama also.

Thin Sep 28 2025 4:18 pm I love this show and also miss.I wish there is a season 2 because we didn't see or know how the king came to the future.

Ela Sep 28 2025 4:10 pm Love you, chona. He played so well, with that eye contact and soft smile, can’t wait for his next dramas

Soji Sep 28 2025 3:20 pm Came here to say I never liked Lee Chae-min before, and in any of his dramas I had seen, he always seemed a bit too brooding. But seeing him in this drama was different. He suits the role perfectly, and it really brought out the best in him. He truly leveled up to be a leading man — charismatic, natural, and someone you can root for. I’m honestly impressed by how much he’s grown as an actor, and now I’m actually looking forward to his future projects.

Fayerie Sep 28 2025 3:16 pm I love you, jeonha!!! Nomu nomu!!!

Soji Sep 28 2025 3:13 pm Came here to say I never liked Lee Chae-min before and in any of his drama. I have seen some episodes of one show he’s in and I see him as like always brooding. But seeing him in this drama was

AC Sep 28 2025 2:04 pm This drama was absolutely superb! It honestly had me counting down the days to Saturday and Sunday just so I could watch the next episode. Hats off to the entire cast, especially Yoona and Lee Chae Min! Their chemistry was everything! So natural, so heart-fluttering, and it made every scene they shared unforgettable.

Lee Chae Min completely amazed me with his acting. He brought so much emotion into his role that I ended up crying buckets. I can confidently say this is my favorite drama of Yoona too! She was truly phenomenal and once again proved why she’s such a queen on screen.

I’ll really miss every single character: the royal cook’s squad who made every food scene so much fun, the king’s royal taster, the loyal advisor, the king’s best friend, the king’s guards, the hilarious jester, and the brilliant inventor. Each of them added so much life and charm, making the drama even more special.

If only there were 16 or even 20 episodes, I would have happily watched more! For me, Bon Appetit Your Majesty deserves a perfect score. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants a drama filled with heart, laughter, tears, and unforgettable performances. And let’s not forget…the food! Every single dish had me drooling and craving a feast after every episode. Kudos to the team and to all cast for this masterpiece!

Cathy Tastor Sep 28 2025 12:55 pm I absolutely loved the story and actors. The leads were amazing and it was so satisfying to see the influence they had on each other and others as they bonded to be so close. Best romantic drama !!!!!

yammy Sep 28 2025 12:54 pm Excellent Drama from start to end: actors, chemistry of Im YooNA and Lee Chae Min, script, directing, balancing comedy and drama, blending royal korean food with modern and international food. I Enjoyed This Drama.

Yola Sep 28 2025 12:53 pm The Best Kdrama Ever !!!!! Good acting, chemistry, teamwork, story., and PD nim... thank you so much for entertained us....

WE DEMAND FOR SEASON 2 Sep 28 2025 12:40 pm From the epilog, i sense the 2nd season. "King from joseon era time slip to the future" is actually an axcellent premise! So jeballll! Jebaaaaaal!

Zama Sep 28 2025 12:33 pm Watching from south Africa 200/100% love this drama koodoes to the team !!!

Acriddrop Sep 28 2025 12:29 pm This ending,... really? Is it only me, or did they rushed the ending pretty hard and simply ignored the most important key events (And indeed, very, very many....).

We should publicly demand at least one episode with explanations of his arrival ;)

Cha Sep 28 2025 11:39 am Love the ending!!! So so so in love with the ehole series, I hope tvn will still make dramas like this, haha hope the whole team will have their reward vacation ???

nia Sep 28 2025 11:37 am amazing 200/100% !!

followed@luhlwar Sep 28 2025 11:29 am The Best Historical romance drama.The ending is also very beautiful

Ara Sep 28 2025 10:25 am Just finished watching the last episode from Jakarta, Indonesia ?? Wow… what an amazing drama!

Thank you so much to the writer and the whole team for creating this masterpiece . Please, we really hope for Season 2 Or maybe another drama with kingdom & cooking theme again.

All actors, actresses, and the entire crew , you deserve 10 thumbs up.. Really, you all did an incredible job.

Kamsahamnida & congrats once again! ^_^

Almusaaal Sep 28 2025 10:05 am My theory is. She read the line again and since a piece of the .. is his with him. Magic happened

Irav Sep 28 2025 10:02 am I hate and love the last episode it’s just too short for me. I don’t know why they’re giving good series 8 episodes and boring series 16 episodes?‍♀️ episode 12 was soo rushed

Minnie04 Sep 28 2025 3:18 am Omg ep 11 was intense . Hope it got very high rating. everyone so gooddd… the cast amazing. One more to go. Yay.

Aiks Sep 27 2025 6:06 pm Kudos to the whole team, the acting and everything is amazing!

Kik Sep 27 2025 11:33 am Did we just witness Lee Chae Min’s breakout role? They finally gave him something other than high school kid role!

His good looks stood out in Alchemy of Souls. Kinda look like Song Kang but much better at acting.

Yvetteyyyy Sep 27 2025 4:00 am One of the best drama I have watched this 2025!!! Not boring and very exciting plot!!! I just wished that it has 16 episodes but so so happy that BAYM is one of the best drama! Fighting!!!

Thy Sep 26 2025 10:30 am Wow.. A great drama The rating also is so high

Jillibean Sep 25 2025 2:40 am When you read up on this actual Joseon King you become horrified at how disturbed and violent he was. He was kicked off the throne he was hated so much and his brother took over the throne. Once I read up on him I found it hard to warm to his character in this series, which is made much more sympathetic. Oh and his mother was no little innocent either, she was a killer! Yikes, those were dark days in Korean history. I like the acting and the production values here, just wish they had chosen a better King for her to travel back in time to meet. Lol

Mina Sep 24 2025 9:04 pm Periodt. One of the best korean drama of this year. I can't wait for the next two episodes. Please don't let me cry so bad.

kdrama lover Sep 24 2025 1:17 pm The drama isn't over yet but I already hope for a Season 2! Maybe the King would time travel to the future where Cook Yeon lives? That would be interesting!

Anna Sep 23 2025 8:52 pm The age gap is absolutely Ok! These times the kings ascended the throne at a young age, so Lee Chaemin is great in the role of such hot-tempered, gambling young man. And Lim Yoona performs the experienced chef who can surprise him.

AK Sep 22 2025 12:51 pm I can hardly wait for the next episode. I really like Lim Yoon-A, and Lee Chae-Min is a real talent. Together, they are the perfect “package” to make this series shine. Otherwise, there would be little depth. Here, gestures, glances, voices—everything that makes a good actor—are convincing.

Emonim Annyeong Sep 22 2025 8:19 am Some theories suggest that the missing page of Mangunrok was actually torn out by the King himself a wise move to secure his path to the future and maintain his connection with the Royal Cook.

Lucy Sep 22 2025 6:47 am Oh my! Hoping a happy ending!

John Sep 22 2025 1:40 am Japanese drama The Knife and the Sword aka Nobunaga no Shiifu , 2 seasons (2013+2014), no romance and male cook, but same arrangement a decade earlier

Ryunami Sep 22 2025 1:38 am Other than the cringey Mandarin accent by the Ming envoy, I really enjoy this cooking drama.

Dutchess Sep 21 2025 11:10 pm ps,the ep 10 too?

Dutchess Sep 21 2025 11:09 pm @dazzlingKMdid you watch the entire ep 9? Lmao,watch first the whole episode before you get disappointed, haha. You will find out why the kid only got poisoned.Watch before you rant

dazzlingKM Sep 21 2025 5:26 pm I'm a bit disappointed with episode 9. The scene with the little prince and the king. They both ate the same freaking dish— why the heck only the kid got poisoned? Doesn't make any sense! Ji-Young's harassment was totally uncalled for.

Hara Sep 21 2025 12:48 pm Love this drama! It feels good to watch this kind of drama again. The chemistry of yoona and lee chaemin is on fire ❤️‍?

JustlikeDee Sep 20 2025 4:07 pm Love love this. Its a breath of fresh air. Andi love cooking shows, this was a perfect mesh of what i love, kdramas and cooking shows.

baek mari Sep 20 2025 7:20 am are they really speaking in Chinese language?

Chewbacca Sep 20 2025 6:17 am Not a fan of Yoon-A but this one is so good so far. Very entertaining and I laughed so hard on every episode.

baek mari Sep 18 2025 11:03 am here for the food, casting is super good too

Kdrama Junkie Sep 17 2025 7:04 pm This is the kind of drama that should have 16 eps!!! Seriously this is soo good.. 10/10 kudos!!

Jojo Sep 17 2025 7:57 am So hilariously funny Makes me laugh well

Kristine Sep 16 2025 2:46 pm Lee Chae Min’s Era is now!!!! He is so amazing, everything about his acting is solid gold!!!! The expressions, the tone of voice, the movement of the eyes, the Face Card baby!!!!these Thing really Perfectly suits him and no one is allowed to portray but only him. (hahaha) I have to admit, i watched a lot of Korean Dramas set in Joseon era but Men, i will give up the throne from Kim Soo Hyun to Chae Min. Naaaah! he si killing the Character! Hoping he will have more Projects.

Ofcourse! As always I love YoonA!!!! She is always Superb!!

I can say, not only Artists are having Hiatus some Fans and viewers too! My last Kdrama that i had these Hype was last 2016 (but need to say Lovely Runner is running thru my mind) hahaha but I am a Historical Josean baby so Im into Historical drama. After 2016’s Dramas, this is it. This Drama brought back the Fire in me!!!!!

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty 1M/10!

AsJam Sep 16 2025 2:42 pm @Ellen this is only drama and not a blind date, chaemin is young, everybody knows that, he acts the role amazingly. Most kdramas I watched some actors and actresses often paired unmatch. Nothing we can do about that . To me, as long as it good to watch, happy endings. That's it. This drama get my approval and they got good ratings too, right? I love the story so far. I hope they'll be awarded

Jingyo Sep 16 2025 6:51 am This is the best korean drama of 2025. Everything about it is great, acting and chemistry are its best. This drama deserves all the love and awards soon.

Mina Sep 14 2025 4:02 am I love this korean drama so much!! The chemistry of both lead made this drama so amazing to watch.

September Blues Sep 12 2025 2:55 am @Ellen There's a reason why Lee Chae Min was chosen. You can see his dedication in the show — if you really watched the show. He was casted just 10 days before the Filming but is proving to be quite an explosion in the show. You don't have to discredit someone because of the age. Acting isn't the age, it's the talent, really.

Jillibean Sep 10 2025 1:00 pm Noona Romances (older woman, younger man) have been a standard trope of Korean dramas for decades. Some of the best Korean dramas ever made have been Noona Romances (such as Faith with Lee Min Ho). Generally only immature or newbie Korean drama fans seem to object to them, which is pretty shallow, unfortunately. Never reject a drama because the lead female is older than the male lead. Korea often does that, fyi, because it's wise to pair up an experienced actress with an actor newer to the profession who needs to learn from the best to improve his performances. :)

Ellen Sep 10 2025 6:38 am Straight off I was put off by casting such a young ML - just makes the whole drama off before starting, He’d be great in a High School or college drama, nothing against him personally, but why pair with Joon-Ah who is mid thirties and experienced actress. Bad casting and has put me off watching as it won’t be believable.

There is a list of at least 20 Korean actors between 35 and 41 you could have chosen. Shame as now I've lost interest. It’s supposed to be a romance.

Bb Sep 10 2025 2:09 am Lee Chae Min will be next generation Ji Chang Wook. He will be busy after this drama . Such great talent at young age . yoona is so adorable . They have great chemistry doesn’t matter age gap. The drama quite entertaining reminds me of Mr Queen , big plus because ML FL such eye candies …. Can’t wait for next episodes …

Jillibean Sep 09 2025 3:46 pm I like it so far, the two leads are very cute and funny together. Perhaps a little too much CGI for my taste: I prefer a more traditional, historical looking sageuk.

Probably nothing Yoona has ever done or will ever do will replace my long time sentimental love for two of her early dramas, Love Rain and The Prime Minister And I, but I am willing to watch anything she chooses to do because she's just a perfect actress and always glows with beauty and intelligence on screen.

Piet Sep 09 2025 1:24 pm I haven't watched kdrama for a few years now cuz I have watched a bit too much in the past I find them boring these days. Besides, the writers seem to start running out of ideas, too many cliches in nowadays drama. Rarely seen stuffs on the same level as the Reply series or the likes. After so long, this was the first drama I watch. No need to overthink, I quite enjoy this one, it's light and funny and entertaining and I like Yoona's acting, so all is good imo.

Beanpotatao Sep 09 2025 9:17 am Loooooove It. finally a good kdrama !!

Jojo Sep 09 2025 8:35 am Relax so enjoyable to watch. Sometimes makes me laugh

One of the entertaining drama this year. Remembering me to Mr. Queen

Kim Il Kim Sep 09 2025 7:35 am Its a fantasy story, so of course they can do whatever they want. I think the others are just jealous that their ratings will be higher worldwide. Only some kdrama is about bullying and old stuff. This Kdrama is fantastic. Any negative comments, comes from rival show. Hahaha jealousy at its best. And Korean culture of downing other. Lol

Emma Sep 09 2025 3:45 am Can't wait for the competition ❤️

Vin Sep 08 2025 8:47 pm At first, I had doubts about watching it, but it turned out to be quite enjoyable. While "Beyond the Bar" drama requires more thoughtful attention, this one lets me relax and just chill.

Bora Sep 08 2025 7:07 pm Amazing!!! I love this Drama I love the animation that they put on the people whenever they try her food is so funny. Love it!! I wished there were 16 episodes lol. I can't wait for the next episodes. I hope it's a happy ending.

Dave Sep 08 2025 4:17 pm Just the Best Drama!!!

Laia Sep 08 2025 3:39 pm I love the animated and exaggreated reactions of the characters to all the delectable food LOL it's such a hoot. Most of all, Yoona and Chaemin's chemistry is literally off the charts. Hoping for a continued sucess for BAYM until the end!! Dare I say it's the best drama of the year.

Zee Sep 08 2025 11:20 am Eps. 6: what's with this Knight Flower reunion!! Lols. Love it!!

Dan Sep 08 2025 9:52 am This is like a live action shokugeki no soma. Over the top reaction and visual effect galore. And that's exactly why i like it. And they know exactly what they're doing.

Arifa Sep 08 2025 8:27 am This drama brought everyone back to kdrama !! I don't care what haters said. Maybe they want their fav to act in this series. This series is not over hyped. I remembered when they announced the main lead, kdrama stans said this drama will be flopped but look at the rating..I'm glad that this series is loved by knetz and inter fans too. Thank you everyone for tuning to Bon Appetit Your Majesty !!!

MsChuckles Sep 08 2025 8:16 am I love this series. I love the plot, the acting and the chemistry between the FL & ML are top notch. I have no complain about it. Lim YoonA is brilliant and funny, became one of my fav actress. Lee Chaemin also good. And the supporting actors too. I hope they can maintain the performance until episode 12.

Ginger Sep 08 2025 8:08 am Not a fan of both ML and FL but I love the story. I don't care about the age gap etc. etc. as long as the story crafted well and entertained me, that's the most important. Besides the actors and actresses did a great job. Kudos to them even the staffs!!

togue Sep 08 2025 4:22 am idk what to feel about this esp to think that sung-hoon should have the role ? chaemin is good but he looks like a crowned prince instead of a king ? ?

Ahjussii Sep 07 2025 10:30 pm Best Kdrama of 2025, nothing can beat the great chemistry between the two lead and also amazing effective acting skills for both lead and needs a lot of awards and acting recognition soon in korean acting giving award bodies. Kudos to cast and crew for giving us a masterpiece historical korean drama this year.

Tukang Masak de Rumah Sep 07 2025 10:10 pm Bila part masak memasak punya ceriter ni...memanglah best lebih2 lagi bila ada special effect on time travelling. memang best lah. tak sabar nak tunggu episode2 akan datang...

Ampun Tuanku... dah jatuh cinta kat Tukang Masak Dapur DiRaja ehhh..hihi

Jiksen Sep 07 2025 5:49 pm I love this korean drama so much. I love the characters, story, the acting is so on point! The chemistry of both leads are on another level. The best korean drama so far this year, this deserves a lot of drama acting awards soon.

Una Sep 07 2025 2:00 pm Cant wait to next episode. Love this drama

Sly13 Sep 07 2025 6:40 am I love this drama so much!

Purple Sep 07 2025 5:56 am Yoona is doing a great job I love her character here!

Jisooni Sep 07 2025 3:25 am Wow, I'm so in love watching this korean drama. The chemistry is top notch! I can't wait for more episodes to be available in Netflix. One of the best korean drama this year hands down, a masterpiece.

Parkbum Sep 07 2025 2:19 am Everything about this drama deserves so much awards and viewers. The storyline is so excellent. All of them, the cast and crew deserves so much respect and awards in giving us this masterpiece korean drama of this year.

Alex Sep 07 2025 2:14 am I enjoyed watching this drama, every episode is definitely masterpiece. Acting and the story deserves a lot of viewers and acting awards soon.

Mingyu Sep 07 2025 2:13 am This is perfection!! From acting, storyline and chemistry of lead actor and actresa is on another level. One of the best korean drama made this year. Kudos to the cast and crew behind this drama for giving us great drama this year.

sssss Sep 06 2025 9:55 pm The latest two episodes of the food concept is too similar with Mr Queen, the crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, and the rice and soup simple dish that creates familiarity.

And I still couldnt like the Yi Heon ??? he is too creepy.

Nie Sep 06 2025 8:51 am Omg I can't wait next episode !

Mi mi mi Sep 06 2025 5:51 am In all sincerity sung hoon could never have bodied this role xoxoxo It came to the best actor that would make you melt while watching him and I am proud he got this role. I hope chae min gets more main lead roles after this cause he is good an actor too

Friday Sep 05 2025 6:21 pm I agree this is one of the best kdrama that will linger in our mind for a while. We cannot expect less from Director Jang Tae-Yoo, who is known for his attention to detail, cinematography and direction. Yoona always delivers her best performance. Lee Chae-Min surprises us with his strong performance as the king. The entire cast stands out too. All these are the recipe for the success of this drama.

In comparison with other reviews, I especially enjoyed the scenes focused on cooking and dish presentations; as they are the theme of this series. They are all carefully crafted and visually appealing. I hope there will be a recipe book being released in association with this drama.

You know that you watch a good drama if you cannot wait for the next episode.

Bokju Sep 03 2025 7:03 pm One of the best korean drama of this year. Hands down, story wise and effective acting skills from leads to supporting roles! For sure, ratings will go up for upcoming episodes and this will get many awards. Daebak to the cast and crew!!

Arte Sep 03 2025 10:49 am Might contain spoiler:

Anyways, I just finished episode 4. Someone in the comment below is right. Its all about cooking. Too much talk about food, you cant see the characters development. Still acceptable though since the title itself does implied that. BUT the outcome is always predictable. For an example, he would always loves her cooking since its tasty and extraordinary! And his reaction with the background effect and everything reminds me a lot to The Haunted Palace. I cant help watching and keep on comparing.

So far what I get from this story is, its basically about a man/tyrant with a mommy issue. I cant feel any romantic attraction between the main lead. He just likes her because the food that she made reminds him of his mother? Come on.

Unnie Sep 03 2025 12:17 am This is really the best kdrama of this year. The chemistry is very on point! And I just love both main lead here, such great acting from male to female lead. This will for sure will get many drama acting awards!!

Ojche Sep 02 2025 12:11 pm No wonder the drama has similarities with lovers of the red sky in terms of direction and music as well as supporting actors. They have the same drama director & music director.

Yurihan Sep 02 2025 3:34 am I watch this because of my Idol Yoona and now this is my Best Kdrama of 2025 can't wait for the next episode I love this

JM Sep 01 2025 10:22 pm It started off with a nice bang, hope it can keep the momentum going. Two leads have chemistry but that kiss in ep. 4 needed more emotion hehe. I'd rather see less cooking scenes and political scheming by the Queen and more of two lead development.

Hello Sep 01 2025 11:18 am Good, entertaining, they tried to make it funny but it didn't work. But overall good

Una Sep 01 2025 9:20 am Love you yoona from Indonesia. Love this drama so much

A Sep 01 2025 4:55 am Yoona and Chaemin are absolutely amazing in this drama! Their performances keep me hooked on every episode, and I find myself holding my breath with excitement. I can’t wait for the weekends to watch the next episodes!

Tootsie Sep 01 2025 3:35 am This drama makes me miss Mr. Queen, the perfect balance between storyline, romance, comedy, and cooking scenes.

I tried so hard to like this drama since I'll eat up anything that resembles Mr. Queen

But good God, 90% of it just cooking, cooking, cooking, and more cooking. The king always doubts Yoona's food, even though she literally always delivers, the pacing is so slow, too much talking but not enough at the same time?

Will I continue to watch it? probaby, but again I love to torture myself so yea

patipat Sep 01 2025 2:12 am i kind of confused, so if the queen dowager is the king's grandmother, so the queen jahyun is his wife? the gwiin-s are his other consorts? i'm not complaining because of the age gap between yoona and lee chaemin, but the relation between the king and the royal members position (or age gap) IS confusing.

Sumi Aug 31 2025 8:14 pm Yoon-a is so much better in this than King the Land. This is a fun and different drama. Love the food references. Looking forward to future episodes.

Dundance Aug 31 2025 3:20 pm Y'all don't mind the haters below and above if y'all want to watch this show — pls. watch it with open mind. The chemistry and acting were great. I'm very particular with the acting of the cast and quality of the drama myself(Especially in Sageuk). I don't lie for fanatics purposes either. I'd say I really like Sageuk. I'm more of a Sageuk connoisseur.

Those who are saying they don't see the chemistry — are clearly lying and haven't really watched the show.

Y'all should watch this masterpiece.. It's been a while since a sageuk, no, KDrama had made me comment like this..

Sakshi bansal Aug 31 2025 12:13 pm I want all episodes

Yaaa Aug 31 2025 11:32 am Actually I'm fine with male lead change Thinking of sung hoon he would play a tyrant perfectly But not really sure about the rom com part Idk maybe i couldn't believe the cruel king he could make can ever fall in love

Lily Aug 31 2025 10:56 am I'm a fan of watching K-dramas. It's been a while since I last watched, until Bon Appetite, Your Majesty aired — so I started watching again. The story seems quite exciting."

Arte Aug 31 2025 10:50 am Currently on episode 3. Its so cheesy. They tried so hard to make this drama funny like Mr. Queen. But the acting and execution is just so bad. Its hard to watch. I dont hate the main leads. The concept is interesting. Its just I see no chemistry between the main lead so far. Its not exactly trash. I'm still interested to know what will happened.

If you love it, good for you. But I cant lie and say its good. The facial expressions, the way the character reacts, the acting, its so cringey. I'm not sure if I can continue.

The main lead is good looking for me. His character is mean but he doesnt look ugly. I'm not sure why the other comment has to be so mean. You can dislike the drama while still being respectful.

Tteokbokkisan Aug 31 2025 10:11 am As I watch this drama and observe Yoona’s facial expressions, especially when she is exasperated, I can’t help noticing her resemblance to Park Sung Hoon. It would have been so interesting to see them as leads in this drama.

Amiah Lee Aug 31 2025 5:37 am The best kdrama this year! Yay! Can't wait for the next episodes

Lauren Aug 31 2025 5:00 am This is so good!! It's already my favorite drama this year and it's not even 4 episodes in. I love it so much I can't wait for the next episodes T.T

Emma Aug 31 2025 3:20 am Can't wait for the 4th episode.

Dave Aug 31 2025 1:36 am Very Good Drama, Very Funny, very Entertaining !!!

Daebakk Aug 30 2025 10:38 pm This will for sure be popular and get more awards! I love this korean drama a lot, such great lead couple and story wise. I'm so looking forward for more episodes, this is fresh and very fun to watch.

Soiji Aug 30 2025 5:52 pm I’m not particularly fond of the leads, but the premise seems fun. It reminds me of Mr. Queen with a different kind of conflict.

Best Kdrama of 2025 Aug 30 2025 5:10 pm Wow, this is refreshing and I love both leads here, ML and FL have a great chemistry and the flow of the story is really interesting and fun to watch! I'm so excited watching every episode of this soon, both ep 1 and ep 2 did really caught my attention. One of the best historical drama of this year so far.

Orange Aug 30 2025 6:13 am This is definitely inspired by Cinderella Chef. So many similarities!

I like and hate it at the same!

Vortexx Aug 29 2025 10:32 pm Maybe Junyeong was always part of the story and the mangunrok wasn’t just a recipe book, it was partly a diary written by someone (perharps the king )in the past about her. It is a recording not only for recipes but also his inner loniliness.Every dish she cooks seems strangely familiar to the king, as if he has already tasted them… but only in his dreams. It turns out she is destined to be part of the king’s life, and the book was her guide all along. Somehow, her copy of the book survived through time and brought her back. She may have been summoned by the king himself through his writings. The eclipse isnt random, it is cyclical,it will happen again. But the next time it happens, she must choose, return home to the modern world, or stay in Joseon with the king. To make the choice harder, maybe her modern life isn’t as fulfilling as it seems, and the king though a tyrant, begins to soften because of her food. Each recipe in Mangunrok isn’t just about food, it has magical properties like healing, love, memory, even control. The king wants the book for power, but she realizes it could change history itself depending on how she cooks. The tyrant reputation of the king maybe false, but rather a mask to protect his kingdom.In the end, after living in Joseon, her own experiences and recipes become Mangunrok, which is the very book she read in the plane. It’s a time loop,she was always the chef in the story. The Mangunrok book in her possession begins adding new recipes that aren’t in the version she read on the plane, as if recording their journey in real time. She discovers the note “My dearly beloved, if you were to read this someday, may you come back to my side.” It hints at fate, suggesting maybe the book was meant to bring her in joseon era. And the king softens he begins to rule with more fairness, influenced by her compassion. This is just a possible twist of the story.

cuteunicorn Aug 29 2025 10:11 pm i cant wait for the 3rd episode to come out today

cuteunicorn Aug 29 2025 10:09 pm I totally love this show so much whoever doesn't is crazy. haven't watched it yet? why are you still sitting here reading this? go watch it now!

Hana Aug 29 2025 6:48 pm Watched the first 2 episode and loved both ML & FL. I think all the casts did great job so far and leads chemistry is chemistrying. Now I have another drama to look for other than BTB

Dave Aug 28 2025 11:11 pm Love this drama so much. Very funny and entertaining!

Hanneon Im Aug 28 2025 4:47 pm Finally! CJN has released a romantic drama after ages. Damn, it’s been years of K-dramas, but this one is actually entertaining and looks interesting, with the actors showing great chemistry! Finally, finally!

Evelyn Aug 28 2025 8:17 am I cant wait for the next episode?

qtiepie Aug 28 2025 8:16 am this drama is entertaining. cant wait for next episode.

Eldana Aug 27 2025 2:11 pm The first episode was amazing and really entertaining. Usually, time-travel dramas can be stressful because it’s hard to follow where characters are, but here the pacing was perfect—she discovered things neither too quickly nor too slowly. The actress playing the girl is fantastic and really elevates the series.

Unlike many K-dramas where romance takes forever to develop, here the romance is already strong and well-balanced. The mix of hate-to-love and genuine care is very engaging—you can see how he always looks out for her, helps her when needed, and wants her by his side. Both sides of the romance feel natural and balanced, which makes it feel real and enjoyable.

Overall, this series is gold from the very first episode and has kept me hooked through episode 2.

Ron Aug 27 2025 10:59 am Love this drama. Best drama of 2025. Cant wait for 3rd episode now.

Hamidah Ashari Aug 27 2025 10:49 am Great cast. Leading actor is somewhat refreshing n quite handsome. Love this drama.

Dksyeochin Aug 27 2025 5:52 am It's exciting Can't wait to enjoy the rest of the eps. Lee Chae Min is handsome, Yoon-A is beautiful as always. The age gap means nothing, they look cute together ?

vortexx Aug 27 2025 3:06 am "I searched for a beautiful girl but couldn't find her. Whether awake or asleep, I missed her. And when I couldn't find her, my longing was so intense that I couldn't sleep anymore, I just rolled around in endless longing. -King Yi Heon" Hmmm, hoping for a happy ending.

vortex Aug 27 2025 3:01 am I can no longer wait for the next episode, ottokajji? jebalyeo hahaha

Hana Aug 27 2025 2:54 am Looks fun. Will definitely watch

King? Aug 27 2025 2:44 am The drama is fun to watch, it's quite engaging; ML and FL are great actors, irrespective of the age difference.

Seems there are a lot of haters here. It is not Lee Chae Min's fault that Park Sung Hoon didn't end up as ML, even if Park Sung Hoon would have been great for the role. Upon his withdrawal someone has to do it. Stop hating... If you don't like the drama or the actors, move on to the next drama, after all there are a lot of dramas out there. It's not necessary trashing the leads, it's just acting for goodness sake.

K-Drama Addict Aug 26 2025 9:36 pm 100% agree with @Mandie and @Toni... this drama not worth watching at all... absolute garbage. Prefer to watch 'Beyond the Bar' instead.

Vin Aug 26 2025 8:52 pm I feel like the story is similar to Mr. Queen. I’d prefer to watch Beyond the Bar.

Prudence Johanna Aug 26 2025 3:34 am Yoona and Lee Chae Min is heart. I just realized that emoticons are not allowed in the comment section.

Prudence Johanna Aug 26 2025 1:07 am I don’t care about the age difference. It is just acting and seriously Lee Chae-Min deserves this role. He’s great as the tyrant king. Yoona and Lee Cha-Min !

VL Aug 26 2025 12:05 am Looks like there are a few Park Sung Hoon supporters here. Actually me too! Lee Chae Min did a great job but I find myself always imagining Park Sung Hoon in every scenes. In terms of voice tone and body language, I think Park Sung Hoon fits better. Which was why he was offered the role initially, right? And I was so looking forward to his performance in this drama. Unfortunately, due to a small scandal, he was replaced. Still enjoyed the drama so far, light and fun. And the ending OST is great

HappyMonday Aug 25 2025 6:52 pm I think this is a great drama so far. I enjoyed watching the first two episodes and the interaction between Yeon Ji-Young and the King, bickering each other!

I don't see the age different as an issue. That young King needs an older woman to teach him better manners! Yoona did that very well! Both of them are entertaining and act well! Beautiful production! Hwaiting for the rest of the episodes!

karyllpat Aug 25 2025 1:14 pm I am honestly thinking about Park Sung Hoon in every scene. Like I wish he was the lead actor. Lee Chae Min was giving justice to the role (amen to that) but there's just no chemistry with Yoona. Probably, because of the age gap. I mean Yoona, Park Sung Hoon and Kang Hanna! the show will totally be on fire.

I dont know if I can finish the drama without seeing PSH. He was like the 'ghost' in this drama Nonetheless, this is just my personal feelings and opinion.

April Aug 25 2025 12:41 pm This KDrama is loosely based on the real monarch, the tyrant Yeonsangun. After watching the drama, I was kinda worried about it because it's like an attempt to give a better light for yeonsangun, so thankfully, they change the name of the characters, even Noksu became Mokju.

It's a good start so far, but my heart can't help but be sad for Park Sung Hoon, this drama is supposed to be his biggest break. I know he's the best fit for the role. But I must commend Chaemin, I'm so shock that he's pulling off a character like this. Although age gaps are obvious, I'm ignoring it cause he's a great actor too. I'm so excited for the next episodes!

Xera Aug 25 2025 8:35 am Going back to joseon + kang ha na? Is this moonlover spin off? I'm not ready

Daffodil Aug 24 2025 11:11 pm I love Lee Chae Min, I’ve watched everything he’s in and he’s a good actor and he did a pretty good job in the last two episodes but there’s still something missing, something isn’t right….. I can’t help but feel it was just a miscast, and still think it was wrong to let Park Sung Hoon go, he would have been perfect and clearly it was written and casted after they brought him on. I mean did you see the queen?But I liked the first two episodes we will see!

Lexis Aug 24 2025 10:04 pm One of the hottest Joseon King I ever met in kdrama world

Jan R Aug 24 2025 9:45 pm @Tammy it's only 10 years age gap. is Math really that hard?

RAKW Aug 24 2025 9:12 pm Watching this drama because I rarely miss any performance by Lim Yoon-a amd Kang Ha-Na. I really appreciate their acting skills. Not thrilled about another time travel plot line that was better done by Mr. Queen, but I won't miss seeing these two fine actresses.

Tammy Aug 24 2025 9:05 pm 20 years age gap between the leads. Wow. Yoona is so youthful!

Asjie Aug 24 2025 8:54 pm Don't care about age gap, I love time travel drama and I love this drama too.

berry Aug 24 2025 7:59 pm It’s like Mr. Queen…?

Yuka Aug 24 2025 1:11 pm From episode 2 it became good!

Na Aug 24 2025 11:01 am I agree with Yua. King Lee Heon is supposed to be the same age as Im Seong-jae. But, Lee Chaemin and Oh Euisik don't look like around the same age. It makes the casting look weird. I have watched Lee Chaemin's performance from 2 eps, his performance was great tho

Frankie Aug 24 2025 7:44 am Omg! I stopped watching after 20mins. Another travel back in time series. Don't the writer-nims get tired of this kind of fantasy? Come on, write something original!

Dyan Aug 24 2025 5:32 am The back and forth banter between Yoona and Lee Chaemin was too long and dragging. The attempts to kill Yoona then later kill each other is not cute, these are seriously threatening acts so I’m not sure I’m going to like them to be falling in love with each other later on

Chef Aug 24 2025 4:51 am What... another SNSD member time travels? I am sure Yoon-A will be great as always and Han-Ah too.

Lee Seohwa Aug 23 2025 9:19 pm Poor male lead, he looks too weak against Yoona in Kdrama because Yoona is much 10 years older than him lol! Like a older sister punishing her own little brother.

kim nana Aug 22 2025 3:21 am will definitelybe watching this i dont care about the age gap

Henna ortega Aug 16 2025 5:05 am She is really the good actress lim yoona, i like her in k2 big mouth and exit

K-Drama Addict Aug 15 2025 4:49 am Age gap is crazy. Also boy king .

signaluvr Aug 11 2025 7:27 pm Exciting pairing. I'm not opposed to the male lead, but the casting feels somewhat random. I can't see them together. Maybe she can play his older sister???

Zeeya Jul 04 2025 9:56 am I can't wait my yeon jiyoung

lol Mar 07 2025 10:43 am to yua: its a story of someone time travelling to the past and your issue with it is that a tyrant fancies someone older than him? Its historically accurate that a tyrant would take anyone he fancies regardless of age lmao

yua Feb 23 2025 10:24 am Lee chae min? Park sung hoon was a great cast but I get it since he made a mistake. At least choose someone who is the same age as yoona or older than her. There are many attractive actors who are in their 40s like Teo Yoo, Go soo, Kim jae wook or Kim ji hoon. This drama doesn’t look interesting anymore and the king having a concubine who is much older than him? Sigh. I can’t stand this. I’m not criticising Lee chae min, but I’m criticising the one who chose him. Sorry if I offend someone.
