Bon Appétit, Your Majesty – 6/10
At first, the drama felt a bit silly but in a cute and funny way. By Ep 2, I got intrigued with the cooking methods, and from Ep 3–10 I really enjoyed the kitchen dynamics, the bond between the cooks, and the rivalry with Chef Ming. The cooking parts were definitely the highlight.
What didn’t work for me was the romance. I didn’t feel any chemistry between the leads, and the king lacked presence, he didn’t have king presence at all. more like CEO. The female lead also didn’t carry the “main character” vibe, similar to her role in King the Land.
Eps 11–12 took a serious turn with deaths and fights, but i was bored af. I almost dropped it. The king’s breakdown was meant to be emotional, but it just came off unintentionally funny.
Overall, I first rated it 8/10, but after the last two episodes, I settled on 6/10. The ending, where all the cooks appeared in modern time, was the most enjoyable part. Overhyped just like QOT & LR, but still a decent watch if you enjoy food-centric stories.
