The storyplot is almost the same given Time travelling from modern era to Joseon era and vice versa.
The link between the MC also started with a letter written by the King on the said era. While in BAYM, it was the King's journal which linked the MC together.
I learned about the food Omu Rice in the drama RP, while lots of Korean with French influenced dishes were introduced here in BAYM.

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.
Another fusion sageuk with a time-slip premise, except this time it’s a Joseon scholar who suddenly finds himself in modern-day Seoul. What makes it shine isn’t just the clever historical twist but how beautifully it balances romance, humor, and history and the lead chemistry is still considered legendary. Both even use a similar time-travel mechanism tied to text , so if you like the idea of history being bent by love and fate, this one’s a must-watch.
If you enjoyed King the Land, you’ll probably love Bon Appétit, Your Majesty for the same reason — Lim Yoon-A. She brings that same warmth and sparkle that made Gu Won’s hotel glow, only this time she’s running the royal kitchen instead of the reception desk. While King the Land offered a breezy, modern romance, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty leans into deeper emotions. Yi Heon is far more intense and dramatic — a king who feels everything too much for his own good. Framed through a historical lens that never really gives him the redemption he deserves (at least not in his own time), it’s a different flavor of romance — richer, messier, and just as addictive.
