Remarkable K-Drama of 2025
Bon Appétit, Your Majesty tells the story of a modern chef suddenly thrown into the Joseon era and for me, it felt both fun and creative, giving a fresh spin on the historical-romance genre.
The time travel element wasn’t just a gimmick, it actually tied into the characters’ fates and the emotional core of the drama, making every encounter between the leads feel magical and destined.
I loved how the drama balanced everything, funny scenes that made me laugh, action and palace conflicts that kept me tense, sad and dramatic moments that touched my heart and of course the romance that tied it all together.
The chemistry between Yoona and Lee Chae-min was warm, natural and full of little moments that made their relationship so believable. Their bond grew not just through sweet words but through food, trust and shared struggles inside the palace. Every stolen glance, every scene in the kitchen and every moment they protected each other made the love story both tender and powerful.
Lee Chae-min’s outstanding performance as the king is truly remarkable, he perfectly balanced the strength of a ruler caught in palace politics with the vulnerability of a man deeply in love. Yoona also did a wonderful job and the supporting casts delivered strong performances without any flaws making the drama even more entertaining.
Many may not be satisfied with the ending since it doesn’t explain everything but I was actually okay with it.
It left the door open for me to imagine how he managed to travel to the future to meet her.
It may be a bit cliché or predictable but I can’t deny that it’s truly satisfying to have the happy ending we all want where the ML and FL finally meet and live together in the modern day rather than some tragic plot where one of them dies or they are separated. That’s why I don’t get mad at all.
Between the fantasy premise, the heartfelt romance, the mouthwatering food scenes and the political intrigue, this drama gave me everything I could ask for.
Easily a 10/10 experience!
