Im Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min are gradually intertwining with each other.
In the 5th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Bon Appetit, Your Majesty' (directed by Jang Tae-yu, written by fGRD, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Film Greeda and Jung Universe), which aired on the 6th, Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min) continued his sweet gifts to win over Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-a), thrilling viewers.
As a result, Episode 5's ratings reached an average of 11.6% in the metropolitan area, peaking at 13.2%, and an average of 10.8% nationwide, peaking at 12.6%, ranking first in all channels including terrestrial broadcast during the same time slot for both metropolitan and national standards. In the target audience of tvN, the 2049 male and female viewership rate averaged 4.5%, peaking at 5.3% in the metropolitan area, while the national average was 4%, peaking at 4.7%, also securing the top spot in all channels during the same time slot including terrestrial broadcast (combined paid platforms of cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea).
Yeon Ji-young, who was restless due to an unexpected kiss, confronted Lee Heon, intensely questioning whether he remembered what happened the night before. Lee Heon, who was nervous at Yeon Ji-young's cold expression, stammered that he did not remember. As Yeon Ji-young warned him to be careful with alcohol at night, Lee Heon, confused, was shocked upon hearing from Chang-sun (Jang Gwang) that he had kissed Yeon Ji-young the previous night.
Conflicted about whether to comfort Yeon Ji-young or pretend not to know, Lee Heon eventually confided in Im Song-jae (Oh Ui-sik) and began to seek advice. Seeing Lee Heon show interest in Yeon Ji-young as planned, Im Song-jae, who smiled meaningfully, suggested that he gift her something she likes.
Meanwhile, Lee Heon's worries deepened as a servant who had been investigating his mother's death under his secret orders disappeared. Disturbed and even stopping his meals, Lee Heon gazed at the bright moonlight, recalling Yeon Ji-young's face and the food she had prepared for him, realizing that it was Yeon Ji-young who had filled his long-empty heart.
At the same time, Yeon Ji-young was also thinking of Lee Heon while looking at the moon. To comfort Lee Heon, who hadn't eaten anything for a long time, she brought him chicken soup, and she smiled proudly as she watched him eat it deliciously. Watching Yeon Ji-young's cheerful steps as she returned to her place, Lee Heon's heart also raced, hinting that he had already begun to fall deeply for Yeon Ji-young.
As Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon's bond deepened, Kang Mok-joo (Kang Han-na), consumed by jealousy, even prepared a daytime meal to try to separate Lee Heon from Yeon Ji-young. However, Yeon Ji-young countered with 'geotbaksokjjol,' a crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside beef schnitzel and fried burdock, successfully captivating not only Lee Heon but also Prince Je-san (Choi Kwi-hwa), who came to visit, gaining an upper hand.
Fascinated by Yeon Ji-young's depth, which conveyed the lesson that one must look beneath appearances rather than focusing on the exterior, Lee Heon presented her with a collection of exquisite flowers, fruits, and vegetables from a greenhouse garden, noting that good ingredients are the best gift. He then surprised Yeon Ji-young by handing her the bag she had been desperately searching for with the help of Im Song-jae, while also apologizing for the mistakes of the previous night.
When Yeon Ji-young asked why he was trying hard to make her feel better, Lee Heon could not reveal the inner thought, 'Because you are starting to look like a woman to me,' and retreated away from Yeon Ji-young. As Lee Heon stumbled and Yeon Ji-young, who tried to catch him, fell as well, their breaths drew close, creating a heart-fluttering moment for viewers. With Lee Heon beginning to realize his feelings, curiosity about how the relationship between Yeon Ji-young and Lee Heon will develop is growing.
The romance of Im Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min, shaken by spring breezes, continues in the 6th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Bon Appetit, Your Majesty,' airing on the 7th at 9:10 p.m.
