Female lead time travelled to an historical era. The SFL is same. Both ML seems kinda of antihero. Idk why people of social media saying that they are afraid of that the ending , it might end up like Scarlet heart. Let's see.
Jang Bong Hwan, a South Korean chef, ends up in the body of Queen Kim So Yong after a serious accident, transporting him to Korea’s past. Queen So Yong’s husband, King Cheol Jong, is merely a figurehead, with power being wielded by his mother-in-law, Queen Sun Won, and her brother, Kim Jwa Geun. As Queen So Yong, Jang Bong Hwan uncovers dark secrets about her seemingly gentle husband.
There is only 4 ep out on Netflix as I am writing this, but it is reminding me a lot of Nobunaga no Chef with the well known historical figure being fed food that is new and exciting by French Chefs.
Both chefs use their culinary skills and historic knowledge to make a meaningful meal and most importantly, keep themselves alive. I especially enjoy how the King and Nobunaga react to the meal with respect and genuine awe. I like how they are both smart but when they learn new words and cooking methods the chefs has used, they are eager to learn and understand. I imagine if they weren't foodies, the chefs would not have lasted at all.
Do they both change history? You'll have to watch for yourself.
We'll see how the endings differ but I if you enjoy food and history, you may enjoy Nobunaga no Chef.

Both dramas share a captivating time-travel premise: a modern-day woman is suddenly transported back to a historical era, bringing her 21st-century personality—and wardrobe—into a completely different world. One unforgettable scene in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty perfectly mirrors this setup: the female lead finds herself in a royal palace, still dressed in modern clothes, high heels, and holding her handbag—confused and hilariously out of place. It brings an immediate déjà vu moment for fans of Faith, where a similarly bewildered heroine from the present ends up in the past.
While Faith explores the fascinating clash of ancient medicine and modern science through the eyes of a doctor, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty takes a more lighthearted and flavorful route by focusing on cooking. The female lead introduces modern culinary techniques and dishes to the historical court, creating both comedic and heartfelt moments.
Though different in tone—Faith being more serious and dramatic, and Bon Appétit leaning toward romantic comedy—they both deliver a compelling blend of history, fantasy, and personal growth. If you’re looking for a time-travel drama with a strong female lead, unexpected romance, and the charm of modern sensibilities clashing with tradition, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty is a must-watch!

This is a serious drama with a food/palace/royal kitchen theme, very similar to Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. It shows in detail how palace kitchens operated, with a realistic focus on food preparation and the politics surrounding it.
But Long Drama, Slow Romance, lots of politics

If you are interested in the character of the King this was based on, Yeonsan-gun who is a historical figure in Joseon era and want to see him being portrayed in another drama, but this time, more on the melodrama genre, you might want to watch The Crowned Clown. This was also referenced by Jiyoung (the FL in BAYM ) while she recalls the future. I highly recommend TCC, just watch out for ugly crying scenes especially by the end. To entice you to watch this rather serious drama, we got Yeo Jingoo and Lee Seyoung as the royals.
The main character of The King and The Clown is based on the same person in history as the jester in Bon Appetit. It is set in the same period of time and of course, both kings are based on the same historical king. They mention this incredible movie in Bon Appetit so I think people should watch it to understand the reference and also because the movie is really good and was a cultural touchstone in Korean society. They both take a look at the romantic life of the King in different ways. I highly, highly recommend.
