The core task of adapting to time travel for Lim Yoona, who entered the palace of tyrant Lee Chae-min, is attracting attention.
tvN's weekend drama 'Bon Appetit, Your Majesty' (directed by Jang Tae-yu, written by fGRD) is drawing intense interest from the first week of its broadcast, showcasing the delightful chemistry between chef Yeon Ji-young (played by Lim Yoona) and King Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min) as they fall into the past. As Yeon Ji-young is escorted to the palace, tough days are expected ahead as she confronts challenges to survive in the past.
First, attention is being drawn to Yeon Ji-young, who is desperately searching for a way to return to the present. Earlier, Yeon Ji-young boarded a plane back to Korea with a book called 'Mangunrok' on her father's errand right after winning a cooking contest, but she suddenly fell into the past. Since the incident occurred right after reading a passage from 'Mangunrok,' Yeon Ji-young suspects that the book has summoned her to the past.
However, due to the whims of tyrant Lee Heon, Yeon Ji-young has completely lost the bag containing 'Mangunrok.' Adding to her troubles, she is now trapped inside the palace by Lee Heon's orders, casting a dark cloud over her future. What could the secrets entangled with 'Mangunrok' be? It remains to be seen whether Yeon Ji-young can survive in the palace and return to her original world.
Next, attention is focused on the motives of King Lee Heon, who brought the ghostly woman Yeon Ji-young to the palace. Lee Heon, who has predicted a harsh punishment for Yeon Ji-young, who has repeatedly shown arrogant behavior by not believing his words as a king, referred to her as a "major criminal" and threatened, "I will make you feel that it would be better to get hit by a tree." This chilling remark heightened the sense of unease.
Moreover, Lee Heon surprised everyone with the extraordinary act of escorting Yeon Ji-young to the palace, praising her culinary skills. While expressing that it would be a waste to kill her, he seems to find comfort in seeing her resemble his deceased mother, raising curiosity about why he brought Yeon Ji-young into the palace.
Finally, the mysterious connection between Lee Heon's concubine, Kang Mok-joo (played by Kang Han-na), and his uncle, Je-san Daegoon (played by Choi Gwi-hwa), has sparked endless speculation. Kang Mok-joo, who enjoys Lee Heon's favor, has actually had a long-standing relationship with his uncle, Je-san Daegoon. Notably, Je-san Daegoon has aligned himself with officials who harbor resentment against King Lee Heon, leading to suspicions about their true intentions.
Furthermore, Kang Mok-joo is acting as a hidden informant by reporting every move of Lee Heon to Je-san Daegoon, directing attention to how the existence of these two will affect Lee Heon and the outcome of the psychological battles unfolding within the palace.
Thus, the presence of French chef Yeon Ji-young, who has fallen into the era of tyrant Lee Heon, is bringing a new wind to the palace. As the gates of tyranny open before Yeon Ji-young, expectations are mounting about how she will navigate these challenges and what relationship she will forge with Lee Heon moving forward.
