Bon Appetit, Your Majesty

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.

Perfect chemistry of main couple, interesting supportive cast
Happy, sad, fluffy drama
Strong confident king/CEO male lead
Cute but equally strong female lead
Two different time period / time travelling theme
And the ending gives the same feel in both dramas

They have the same vibes, literally so funny and so good
When watching both of them i really enjoyed it

the ending reminds me of 'a dream within a dream' and then i just realized they're actually quite similar!
- time travel* trope from modern time to the past*
- female leads meet awful tyrants detested by history
- satisfying ending you probably have not gotten in a very long time lol

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.

The FL is finds herself "transported back in time"/"In a fictional novel".
In order to save herself, the FL (and the ML in One Day In July) has to live in a unfamiliar world.
Genres: Romance, Fantasy

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

Story is set in imperial kitchen.
Female lead cooks for male lead. Male lead is a picky eater. There is cooking competitions.

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.

It's a show about cooking/food. Both FL's are chefs and there way of cooking draws in people because of how good it tastes. Also the ML's fall in love with them partially because of how amazing there food taste. There's also a cooking competition in both shows.

These are similar as in a person goes back to the historic past and uses the skills that they know from the future, in jin its medical, in baym its food. But baym is much heavier on the romance.

If you like the aspect of cooking/preparing food with tan explanation of them of the meaning of dish, you'll like the other. The dynamic between the 2 leads of the two dramas are kinda similar too, harsh ML but getting softer as he spends time and eat food prepared by FL.

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.
