K-dramas are known for their unique and heartwarming love stories, but tvN’s Bon Appétit, Your Majesty adds a fresh twist: a Michelin three-star chef transported into the royal kitchen of the Joseon era.
Presenting Yoona as Yeon Ji-young and Lee Chae-min as King Lee-heon, this drama is now the current fan-favorite. It premiered on tvN and Netflix on August 23, 2025, and has been steadily climbing in viewership ratings since then.
So if you're eager to enjoy the next chapter, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty Episode 5 will be released on September 6, 2025. As usual, it will be available to watch on tvN, the local TV channel, and Netflix for global fans.
The story is adapted from an acclaimed web novel about a chef from modern times slipping into the most harsh time of the Joseon era. The time slip occurs when Yeon Ji-young recites a passage from an ancient book, believed to have been written by the King himself, expressing his wish for the chef to return if she ever left the Joseon era.
