What is Netflix’s Bon Appétit, Your Majesty About?
Bon Appétit, Your Majesty follows Yeon Ji-yeong (played by K-pop idol and actress Im Yoon-ah), a modern chef who is transported to the Joseon dynasty during a solar eclipse. She lands in King Yi Heon’s court, a ruler scarred by loss and vengeance. Initially mistrusted, Ji-yeong earns a place as palace chef by combining modern methods with traditional flavors. Her dishes soften Yi Heon’s cold exterior, reminding him of lost warmth. However, amid palace intrigue, she faces jealous concubine Kang Mok-ju and Prince Je Seon’s plots to seize power.
The series which blends romance, comedy, and politics shows Ji-yeong battling survival while torn between changing history and returning home.
