Based on the famous online novel - " Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" about Yeon Ji Young (YoonA) - an award-winning talented chef in France who traveled back in time to the past 500 years.
Here, she meets the tycoon king Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min) - known as the worst bully, and also a phlegm.
After 4 episodes, the drama recorded a skyrocketing number of viewers, from 4.9% in episode 1 to 11.1% in episode 4. With this achievement, "The Government of the Brutes" became the film with the highest rating among tvN TV series in 2025 (up to now).
This was the most discussed film of the week on Good Data Corporation, while the two main actors, YoonA and Lee Chae Min, also topped the list of favorite actors.
In addition to the story about history, through space, The standard of the Tycoon makes its mark thanks to the cooperation of actors, humorous situations and putting culinary elements first.
The culinary scenes in the film are recreated in a rich and diverse way. The dishes in the film, whether traditional or modern, contain many profound meanings.
However, there are still some concerns regarding the ending of the film, when the content is revealed.
In particular, the detail that King Lee Heon named his diary The Voice of London and the Voice of London book that Ji Young left in his bag also disappeared, making viewers believe that Lee Heon was the one who wrote the Voice of London. And the disappearance of Vong Van Luc made it more difficult for the female lead to return to modernity.
According to the book, it can be seen that Ji Young has only been stuck in the past for nearly 2 months. Accordingly, the book started on April 13 and the final recording date was June 6. The first page of the book mentioned Lee Heon's female lead's mixed rice dish, along with memories and meals with her.
On the other hand, with Korean space-time films, the audience has repeatedly witnessed a sad ending, with the male and female leads having a good relationship.
For example, with "Moonlight Lover", IU's Hae Soo character also travels back in time to the past when the sun appeared (like YoonA's character Ji Young in "The standard of a Bustard King").
After many storms in the movie "Moonlight Lover", Hae Soo and Wang So (Lee Joon Gi) still cannot have a happy ending. After passing away in the past, Hae Soo returned to modernity and burst into tears when seeing Wang So's painting.
Many viewers are worried that "The officialdom of the tyranny" will have an ending similar to "The Lover of the Moon". Or it is possible that the film will end openly with the scene where Ji Young and Lee Heon meet again in modern times, and get to know each other.
Many questions are being raised with the end of "The reward of the bully".
