"Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" features French chef Lim Yoon-a presenting an unforgettable meal for King Lee Chae-min.
On the 17th, the new tvN weekend drama "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" (written by fGRD, directed by Jang Tae-yu) revealed its first poster.
"Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" is a survival fantasy romantic comedy drama where the chef, who time slips into the past's finest moments, encounters the worst tyrant, a king with an absolute palate. Ahead of its first broadcast in August, posters for the chef and the tyrant, as well as the first royal feast, have been released, hinting at the special encounter between chef Yeon Ji-young (played by Lim Yoon-a) and King Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min).
First, the first royal feast poster captures the contrast between Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon, who will meet in the same era after skipping a long span of time. In the midst of the royal kitchen, where busy cooks rush between baskets of ingredients and jars of seasonings, Yeon Ji-young's white chef uniform creates an unsettling contrast as she focuses on her cooking with a confident smile.
At the bottom of the poster, there is a depiction of Lee Heon seated on an opulent throne. Just as the phrase "Let's prepare a royal feast that even the tyrant will never forget for a lifetime" suggests, he has a satisfied expression in front of a royal feast filled with various delicacies. The dishes, which boast a mysterious harmony of Korean and Western cuisines, stimulate the appetite.
On the other hand, the newly released poster featuring the chef and the tyrant provides a closer look at the inner feelings of Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon. The phrase, "I dreamed of being a three-star chef until now... Today, I became the tyrant's chef," evokes curiosity about Yeon Ji-young's sentiments as she suddenly finds herself in the royal kitchen of the past.
In contrast, Lee Heon displays the aura of a tyrant with a chilling threat: "If it does not suit my taste, even for a single day, I will impose the harshest punishment." Attention is focused on whether Yeon Ji-young, who has become "the tyrant's chef," can satisfy the exceptionally picky palate of the taste-sensitive King Lee Heon.
"Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" uniquely depicts the relationship between the chef, who must prepare exquisite dishes for survival, and the gourmet king, who holds the chef's life in his hands, promising to satisfy viewers' senses. The chemistry between the chef, who must risk her life to create food, and the king, obsessed with taste, is highly anticipated.
The production team of "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" stated, "Just as ingredients with different flavors come together to create a delicious harmony, the synergy created by modern Yeon Ji-young and historical Lee Heon will provide a unique taste. We are working hard to create a drama that comforts the viewers' souls and stimulates their appetites, reminiscent of soul food, so we ask for your high expectations." The first broadcast is in August.
