I noticed Bon Appétit, Your Majesty received surprisingly low ratings, which genuinely puzzled me because I found it quite enjoyable.
First, the leads are undeniably good-looking, and more importantly, they have real chemistry. The female lead, in particular, stood out to me. She embodies a strong woman; someone thrown into circumstances she wasn’t raised for, yet she survives, adapts, and builds something out of nothing. She is confident in her abilities and truly believes her skills are enough to save her. As someone who appreciates strong female characters, this was one of the things I loved most about the show.
The male lead’s character is often criticized for being a tyrant, but when you consider the historical context, his behavior makes sense. Therapy didn’t exist in the past, and he was constantly under threat, with people actively plotting to overthrow and kill him. While his actions were extreme, it isn’t shocking when you remember how royalty historically found entertainment in power, punishment, and even death. From that perspective, his character feels realistic rather than exaggerated.
What elevated the romance for me was the implication that the leads had met before ,that she was the subject of the book from the very beginning. That detail adds an extra emotional layer and depth to their relationship, making the story more meaningful than a simple chance encounter.
While the eating scenes can feel a bit cringey at times, they also add charm. The cooking segments are enjoyable too, though I’d recommend skipping through them if food isn’t your area of interest.
Overall, this drama is a work of art in my books. My advice is to watch it without letting the reviews influence you. Go in without judgment and experience it for yourself... you might be pleasantly surprised.
