The intertwined relationships among the characters in "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" are stirring interest.
In the tvN weekend drama "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" (directed by Jang Tae-yoo, written by fGRD, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Film Greeda and Jung Universe), the power struggle among the royal family members to seize power is heightening the tension. Accordingly, we examined the relationships that Yeon Ji-young (played by Lim Yoon-a) must know for her wise court life.
First, the movements of the royal relative Je San-daegun (played by Choi Gwi-hwa), who is watching the new head chef Yeon Ji-young's (played by Lim Yoon-a) greatest rival, the concubine Kang Mok-joo (played by Kang Han-na), and King Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae-min) are drawing attention. Boosted by Lee Heon's favor, the concubine Kang Mok-joo, who had been arrogant, is dissatisfied when she sees Lee Heon's attention shifting from her to the head chef Yeon Ji-young, and she is on guard against Ji-young.
While spreading rough rumors about Yeon Ji-young among the ministers, she is secretly plotting to eliminate Ji-young by instigating the Grand Queen Dowager In-ju (played by Seo Yi-sook) to have a chef contest where she must wrestle with Ji-young. Additionally, Kang Mok-joo, as a confidant of Lee Heon's uncle Je San-daegun, is acting as an informant, reporting Lee Heon's every move to Je San-daegun.
Je San-daegun, who received news of Lee Heon's situation from Kang Mok-joo, is curious about Yeon Ji-young, who is close to Lee Heon. Therefore, both Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon must keep a close watch on Kang Mok-joo and Je San-daegun, who can threaten them at any moment.
On the other hand, Grand Queen Dowager In-ju, who is captivated by Yeon Ji-young's food, and Lee Heon's close aide Lim Song-jae (played by Oh Ui-sik) are expected to serve as strong support for the two. The Grand Queen Dowager In-ju recognized Yeon Ji-young's qualifications as head chef after tasting her heartfelt dishes, perfectly replicating the flavors of her mother's cooking. This way, Yeon Ji-young has captured not only King Lee Heon's favor but also the absolute authority of the royal family, the Grand Queen Dowager In-ju.
Moreover, Lim Song-jae has sensed Lee Heon's growing interest in Yeon Ji-young early on and plans to use Ji-young to outmaneuver Kang Mok-joo, which draws attention. As Lim Song-jae has promised to support Yeon Ji-young to push back Kang Mok-joo, it remains to be seen what kind of help he will provide as the relationship between Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon develops.
In this way, centered around Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon, the forces that seek to control them are fiercely clashing with those that support them, raising anticipation for future developments. Various incidents are foreshadowed, including the death of Queen Yeon and the psychological battle among the powerful, along with Lee Heon's struggle to uncover the truth. Curiosity grows about how Yeon Ji-young will survive in the treacherous palace.
As well, Lim Yoon-a's wise court life, who is struggling to survive amidst the power struggle, will be broadcast in the 5th episode of the tvN weekend drama "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty," airing on the evening of the 6th at 9:10 p.m.
