tvN’s upcoming drama “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has unveiled a new highlight teaser!
Based on a popular web novel, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a fantasy romance drama starring Lim Yoona as Yeon Ji Young, an award-winning French chef who winds up traveling 500 years back into the past. There, she meets despotic king Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min), who is known as the worst of tyrants—and who also happens to be a discerning gourmet. Kang Han Na will play Lee Heon’s trusted but ruthless concubine Kang Mok Joo.
The highlight teaser tells the story of Yeon Ji Young, who goes from being a French chef to a royal head chef serving the tyrant king Lee Heon. Originally a restaurant chef in Paris, Ji Young is suddenly transported to the past, where she is forced to take on the role of royal head chef under King Lee Heon’s command.
Yeon Ji Young, who once dreamed of becoming a three-star restaurant chef, suddenly finds herself serving the tyrant. She uses all her skills to create dishes that can impress Lee Heon, a gourmet who can detect even the slightest difference in flavor. From King Lee Heon to Grand Prince Jesan (Choi Gwi Hwa)—the late king’s half-brother and uncle to King Lee Heon—everyone is astonished by Ji Young’s cooking, which uses unfamiliar ingredients yet delivers extraordinary taste.
As Ji Young earns the king’s favor with her unique cooking style, the atmosphere in the palace becomes tense. The king’s favored concubine, Kang Mok Joo, openly shows hostility toward Ji Young and even orders something to be slipped into her food.
To make matters worse, Ji Young also becomes the target of Grand Prince Jesan. In one scene, Queen Dowager Injoo (Seo Yi Sook) warns her of a terrifying price she will have to pay, while in another, the treacherous official Im Song Jae (Oh Eui Shik) ominously declares that survival will not be easy for her.
Amidst the growing threats, King Lee Heon’s attitude toward Ji Young gradually begins to change. Not only does he step in to protect her from danger, but he also starts to be drawn to her. In one scene, he even tells her, “Show me a new dish, one that’s truly yours.” The teaser ends with Ji Young’s determined words, “No matter what, I’ll make it back alive.”
