Bon Appetit, Your Majesty

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.

Although *Bon Appétit, Your Majesty* and *Tale of the Nine-Tailed* have different settings and genres, they share several key similarities. Both are fantasy romances that feature extraordinary circumstances bringing the main couple together and use supernatural elements to drive the story. Each drama centers on a powerful, initially cold male lead who gradually reveals a caring and protective side as he falls in love with a strong, independent heroine. The female leads are resourceful and play an active role in shaping the plot rather than simply relying on the male lead. Both series also blend romance with humor, suspense, and emotional moments, allowing the characters to grow through love while facing significant challenges. However, *Bon Appétit, Your Majesty* focuses on time travel, palace politics, and cooking in a historical setting, whereas *Tale of the Nine-Tailed* explores Korean mythology, fox spirits, reincarnation, and supernatural action in a modern world.

Seorabeol Knife serves as the official spin-off and thematic successor to Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, directly occupying the exact same fictional universe. Both series share the same director, Jang Tae-yoo, meaning Seorabeol Knife will carry over the exact same world-building logic, rules of time travel, and high-production visual aesthetic.
The core plot formula is nearly identical. Just like the French-trained modern chef who accidentally slips through time in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, Seorabeol Knife features a modern Michelin-starred Italian chef who gets pulled into the ancient past. In both shows, the protagonist must survive dangerous palace politics by using 21st-century culinary skills to win over a royal figure with an unyielding palate.
The main difference lies in the setting and the romantic dynamic. While Bon Appétit, Your Majesty takes place during the Joseon Dynasty, Seorabeol Knife goes 1,000 years further back to the Silla Kingdom. Furthermore, instead of cooking for a tyrant king, the chef in Seorabeol Knife forms a culinary romance with an ambitious princess who dreams of taking the throne.
Would you like me to break down the character profiles for this new chef and princess, or would you prefer a look at the historical Silla setting?

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.

It has a similar comedic charm to Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, especially when it comes to the priceless reactions after tasting food. The funny facial expressions, dramatic pauses, and over-the-top food appreciation gave the same chaotic foodie comedy vibe. If you enjoyed the humorous food scenes in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, this one is definitely worth checking out.

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.
