Netflix has released the trailer for its new Korean fantasy romance drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, which is due to arrive globally on August 23, 2025. The show features Lim Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min and is said to combine time travel, political intrigue, and fine dining.
The trailer meets Yeon Ji-young (Lim Yoon-a), an elite French chef who finds herself inexplicably whisked 500 years into the past to the Joseon Dynasty during the peak of her culinary reign. Finding herself in a world of palace politics and strict tradition, Ji-young is tasked with cooking for demanding King Lee Heon (Lee Chae-min), who’s as much an refined epicurean as he is a menacing despot.
Promised as a “sweet and savage survival tale,” the show tells the story of Ji-young’s battle to impress the king’s discerning taste buds with contemporary cooking methods, while adjusting to a world she is unfamiliar with. The trailer features sizzling food, intense kitchen politics, and the sudden spark of romance between the monarch and the chef.
Lim Yoon-a, who appeared in King the Land and Big Mouth, sparkles as the fiery Ji-young, with Lee Chae-min (Crash Course in Romance, Hierarchy) giving a forceful performance as the moody king. Their chemistry on screen promises an interesting and emotional ride.
Sidelights are provided by Kang Han-na as the king’s long-time concubine Kang Mok-ju and Choi Gwi-hwa as Prince Je Seon, adding drama and competition.
With eye-catching visuals, a compelling time-slip premise, and Netflix’s customary high production standards, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty has the potential to be the next global K-drama phenomenon.
