The new tvN Saturday-Sunday drama "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" (directed by Jang Tae-yu, written by fGRD, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Film Greeda and Jung Universe), in which Lim Yoona stars, is a survival fantasy romantic comedy drama where a chef time slips to the best moment in the past and meets the worst tyrant, a king with perfect taste.

In particular, in the first broadcast, Lim Yoona's character Yeon Ji-young overcomes a crisis with her stove and wins the top prize at a French cooking competition, gaining a chance to be the head chef of a Michelin 3-star restaurant. However, on the way back to Korea, she experiences time slipping due to an old book "Mangunrok" that she holds, which heightens the intrigue.
Falling into an unfamiliar era, Yeon Ji-young faces threats from the tyrant Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min) while maintaining a fearless attitude and confidence, evoking both laughter and tension. With her cooking skills as a chef and unique spirit, she makes gochujang butter bibimbap, capturing Lee Heon's heart and attracting attention.
