Lim Yoon-a, Lee Chae-min and director Jang Tae-yu picked their favorite scenes in Bon Appetit, Your Majesty.
tvN's weekend drama Bon Appetit, Your Majesty (directed by Jang Tae-yu, written by fGRD, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Film Grida, Jeong Universe) is sweeping buzz, ratings and global OTT rankings, and the stars of the hit—actors Lim Yoon-a, Lee Chae-min and director Jang Tae-yu—chose their favorite scenes, stimulating viewers' urge to binge-watch.
Pick 1. Which scene did Lim Yoon-a choose as her favorite? #first meeting with the tyrant #restoring order in the royal kitchen #heart realization?!
In the story, Yeon Ji-young (Lim Yoon-a) time slips into the past ruled by the tyrant Yi Heon (Lee Chae-min) and becomes the head royal chef of the royal kitchen. Not only did she land in an unfamiliar world, she also met the era's tyrant, yet Yeon Ji-young spoke bluntly to Yi Heon and subdued the territorial royal kitchen cooks at once, showing spirited charm. When Yi Heon confessed and asked her to become his companion, Yeon Ji-young's inner thought that she might not need to return to her own world for the first time suggested that she had fully adapted to this world.
On this, Lim Yoon-a said, If I had to pick scenes that show the Yeon Ji-young character well, I'd choose the first meeting with Yi Heon, the scene where she restores order among the royal kitchen cooks, and the moment Yeon Ji-young, after hearing Yi Heon's confession, thought she might not have to go back. I think they're important scenes that mark the story's starting point and show how the characters' relationships begin to unfold and develop.
Pick 2. Which scene did director Jang Tae-yu choose as his favorite? #prologue #sincere about cooking #sincere about romance
Director Jang Tae-yu chose the prologue scene in episode 1 that opens Bon Appetit, Your Majesty as his favorite, saying, I think it's the scene that best shows the drama's concept as a "survival fantasy romantic comedy," condensed with the survival instincts of the French chef Yeon Ji-young from the future.
Meanwhile, Bon Appetit, Your Majesty tempts viewers with various survival dishes that the French chef Yeon Ji-young prepares each episode to overcome crises. Director Jang Tae-yu said of the cooking scenes in episodes 2 and 4, At the center of the various survival dishes is always Yeon Ji-young's sincerity in cooking with the eater in mind. They are scenes that show Yeon Ji-young's culinary beliefs that run through the drama.
Those culinary beliefs of Yeon Ji-young even melted Yi Heon's heart, who has perfect taste, and led him to say, "I choose you." Director Jang Tae-yu described this scene, which reveals how Yi Heon's heart has been completely filled by Yeon Ji-young, as the moment that cements the drama's genre as romance, making the relationship between the two characters who share taste and affection through food even more exciting.
Pick 3. Which scene did Lee Chae-min choose as his favorite? #emotional explosion #to be unveiled
Finally, Lee Chae-min chose episode 11 as his favorite scene in Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, saying it was the turning point that made him the Yi Heon he is now and the scene into which he poured the most energy and emotion, arousing curiosity. Yi Heon is drawing a sweet romance with Yeon Ji-young while searching for the truth behind his mother's death, so questions grow about which decisive scene unleashed the tyrant Yi Heon's emotions, and viewers are eager for the next chapter of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty as it races toward its finale.
Meanwhile, in episode 10, Yeon Ji-young heard Yi Heon's confession, "Become my companion," and for the first time thought it might be okay not to return to her own world. As their feelings deepen, preparations by Prince Jeosan (Choi Gwi-hwa) for a countercoup are nearly complete, heightening tension. Curiosity is growing over whether Yeon Ji-young and Yi Heon can nurture their love while avoiding the whirlpool of fate.
The final pages of the gourmet fantasy romantic comedy Bon Appetit, Your Majesty will open: episode 11 airs on the 27th at 9:10 p.m., and the finale airs on the 28th at 9:10 p.m.
