Lim YoonA, Lee Chae Min's Bon Appétit Your Majesty confirms August premiere with time-slip posters, here's all you need to know
The channel has recently dropped fresh promotional posters that offer a vivid glimpse into the story's rich blend of history, culinary art, and slow-burn romance. The drama is based on a widely loved web novel.
Lim YoonA and Lee Chae Min capture time-crossed tension in new poster
The newly revealed main poster beautifully captures the contrast between the drama's two central figures. At the top, Yeon Ji Young (played by Lim YoonA) stands in the midst of a busy Joseon-era kitchen. Dressed in a modern white chef's uniform and flashing a confident smile, she appears both out of place and utterly focused.
Meanwhile, seated below her is King Lee Heon (played by Lee Chae Min), draped in rich royal garments and positioned on an ornate jade throne. A lavish table overflowing with dishes that fuse Korean and Western flavors sits before him.
He gazes forward with a satisfied expression, suggesting both his power and his discerning taste. The tagline emblazoned across the poster reads, 'Let's prepare the finest royal feast that even a tyrant will never forget.'
Character posters reveal Yeon Ji Young's dream and King Lee Heon's deadly demands
Individual character posters offer deeper glimpses into the minds of the main characters. Yeon Ji Young's quote read 'I've always dreamed of being a three-star chef… but today, I've become the tyrant's chef.' It reveals her initial shock and conflicted feelings as she confronts unfamiliar surroundings and mounting pressure in the palace.
In contrast, King Lee Heon's statement, 'If, even for a single day, the food does not suit my taste, you will be sentenced to death,' sets a chilling tone. It highlights the stakes Ji Young faces daily and raises curiosity about the king's rigid standards and emotional complexities.
About Bon Appétit, Your Majesty
At the heart of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty is an extraordinary plotline. Yeon Ji Young is a talented French cuisine chef from the present day. However, she finds herself mysteriously transported 500 years into the past. She ends up in the palace of a feared monarch, King Lee Heon. He not only rules with an iron fist but is also infamous for being obsessively picky about his food.
Thrust into the heart of the royal kitchen, Ji Young must survive the unfamiliar customs of a bygone era. On top of that, she faces the daily risk of angering a tyrant who could end her life over a single dish that fails to meet his standards.
The project marks the return of renowned director Jang Tae Yoo. He's best known for his works such as My Love from the Star, Tree With Deep Roots, Lovers of the Red Sky, and Painter of the Wind.

Grace or golgappa? Woman shows how to eat pani puri without messing up makeup, leaves netizens irked
Golgappa or pani puri is a popular Indian street food made of a crispy-fried puri filled with a flavorful mixture of potatoes, chickpeas and spices. The popular bite-sized snack is loved for its tangy taste and the fun of eating it with your hands. Now, a new 'hack' is being suggested on social media to eat it in a 'graceful' way without ruining your lipstick or makeup. And not all are impressed. The recent Instagram video, shared by personality developer and counsellor Pria Warrick, @priawarrickfinishingacademy, showed a woman eating pani puri in a very graceful and neat way without smudging her lipstick or makeup. The caption said, 'Yes, it's possible to enjoy pani puri without messing up your makeup or your grace.' It also said that you can eat your favourite street food in a classy way, just like in fine dining. But the idea didn't go well with many, and golgappa fans across the internet were irked. They said this is not how golgappa is meant to be eaten. For them, it's all about the fun, the mess, and the real taste when you eat it the traditional way. The post also sparked wider conversation on preserving traditional food culture in a world driven by digital trends. One Instagram user @sushmita10795 commented, 'With all due respect ma'am, I would rather apply another coat of lipstick than compromise with the golgappa.' Another user, @ said she reported the video, calling it 'bullying and harassment'. Another critical comment came from @vandanaaofficial, who wrote, 'Golgappa is Indian street food. You don't need a spoon or fork to eat it. You fill it with spiced water and pop the whole thing into your mouth — that's the real joy. Not everything needs to look Western or polished. Let's enjoy our street food like it's meant to be — real, raw, and desi!' Many people feel that the video is trying to change something that doesn't need to be changed. While some may like the idea of looking graceful, others believe the messy fun of golgappa is what makes it special.

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal is a copy of Akshay Kumar's Jaanwar? Suneel Darshan reveals
Animal, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, released in 2023 and witnessed a superlative box office run in India. The movie, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, and Bobby Deol, met with extreme reactions - with some appreciating it for fearless and raw writing, while others tagged it as toxic. It also faced backlash for its Interval block being similar to the Korean movie, Oldboy. And now, veteran Hindi film director Suneel Darshan has accused Vanga of copying his story of Jaanwar (1991). In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Suneel Darshan highlighted that the Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal has a similar plot to his film Jaanwar, still he hasn't made any claims. When asked if he wants to remake his own film for today's audience, Suneel said, 'Main kaise banaun? Meri filmon ki nakal itne log kar chuke hain. Ek film hai Jaanwar. Jaanwar ka English kya hota hai? Uski kahaani kaunsi hai? Aapne Animal dekhi hai na? Aapko pata hai na kaunsi kahaani hai? Lekin main claim nahi karta, kyunki us director ki treatment bahut anokhi thi, aur bahut achhe tareeke se usne us film ko treat kiya. But if the producer had acknowledged the truth, it would have been much better.' Why Suneel Darshan chooses to stay silent Gearing for the release of Andaaz 2 on August 8, Suneel Darshan further added that he is happy that his cinema is inspiring other people even today. He said, 'I thought it was better to stay silent, because somehow, there have been other films like this too, and they've been massive hits. I feel like I'm inspiring people. My cinema is continuing to inspire them, and those films are becoming huge blockbusters.' 'There's one hero, a very big star, who also did a film that's very, very similar to mine. And the writer from whom they bought the story is also a very big name. That film too was a massive hit. So if you see the film, it's strangely very similar to my film,' Suneel Darshan concluded.
