French Chef Lim YoonA Charms Tyrant Lee Chae Min in Whimsical Romance "Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" (2025)

K-Drama lovers, get ready to be served a delightful new romance with a sprinkle of royal intrigue and a full course of passion. The highly anticipated 2025 series “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has unveiled its official posters, starring Lim YoonA and Lee Chae Min in a visual treat that’s already making fans hungry for more.

“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is set in a fictional monarchy where a once-legendary kingdom is ruled by a cold-hearted and solitary young king, Lee Chae Min, known for his iron rule, icy demeanor, and obsession with order. His court is elegant but suffocating, lacking warmth—until an unexpected visitor from abroad arrives.

Enter Lim YoonA, playing a spirited and elegant French-trained chef who finds herself transported to this kingdom after a culinary accident gone wrong. Her unique cooking skills and fearless charm captivate the palace, but most of all, they melt the hardened heart of the king.

The posters reveal the first glimpses of YoonA in a pristine chef’s uniform, confidently facing off with Lee Chae Min’s regal, brooding presence. The tagline, "Love can simmer even in the coldest of hearts," hints at the delicious tension between the two leads.

Fans are particularly excited to see how Lim YoonA, known for her bright, lovable roles in King the Land and Big Mouth, will portray a headstrong chef who refuses to bow down to royalty. Meanwhile, rising star Lee Chae Min continues to gain praise after his role in Crash Course in Romance, now stepping into the role of a powerful yet lonely monarch.

“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” will mix historical royal visuals with fantasy elements, blending rich costume design, lavish palace scenes, and food cinematography that rivals Pasta and Let’s Eat. The drama’s directors have teased scenes of elaborately plated dishes, cross-cultural cuisine battles, and heartfelt emotional moments over shared meals.

Directed by Park Hyun Wook, who previously helmed You Are My Spring, and written by Kang Eun Kyung of Dr. Romantic, the show promises both visual beauty and emotional depth. With a stellar production team and high-budget visuals, it's already being compared to 2020's hit Mr. Queen for its charm and freshness.

Since the poster release, hashtags like #BonAppétitYourMajesty, #LimYoonA and #LeeChaeMin have trended across X (Twitter), with fans expressing excitement over the unique premise.

“YoonA as a fierce chef facing off against a moody king? That’s my new obsession,” one fan wrote.

“The visuals, the food, the royal romance – I’m ready to devour this drama!” another tweeted.

“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is set to premiere in December 2025 on tvN and Netflix, with 16 episodes planned for the first season.
