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.

Both have memebers of same girl group SNSD.
Both get time travelled to the past
Both ml are so called Tyrant and murderous

Both dramas use food as a connection, blending romance with culinary themes. "Heo’s Diner" combines time travel and Joseon cooking in modern Korea, while "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" explores royal traditions and romance through food.

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.

Both contain time traveling chefs who end up involved in political strife and keep themselves alive by offering their skills.

FL is a chef in the modern world who traveled back in time and start a food business and later fall in love with a guy from the ancient world

Both involve time travelling and have a interesting relationship with the king, when I was searching for dramas similar to BAYM I found splash splash love, it’s pity that it’s only two episodes

Da Xi is a good cook who dreams of finding herself the most handsome husband. When meeting Royal Guard Shao Yong, it was love at first sight. Needing to stay near him, she enters the palace as a maid. She soon realizes that she's been fooled and needs a quick escape. While scaling a wall, she encounters Emperor Ji Man, who thinks she's an assassin whom he must stop. Something magical takes place: their souls swap. Now, she is the Emperor, and he is the fleeing maid.

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!

The FL is finds herself "transported back in time"/"In a fictional novel".

Both are saeguk dramas. Both are silly and funny. Both ML are kings and have past traumas. Both FL are quirky and fun.

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.

Set in the same era, Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People isn’t a fusion sageuk but a traditional one, but it delivers a layered, powerful take on Yeosangun. It doesn’t redeem him but shows the cracks that turned him into a tyrant. And I think watching RTWSTP will give you a richer lens: you’ll appreciate even more what could change in a time-slip scenario in BOYM once you understand what caused those cracks in the first place.
