Based on the famous online novel - " Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" about Yeon Ji Young (YoonA) - an award-winning French chef who has traveled back in time to the past 500 years.
Here, she meets the tycoon king Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min), who is known as the worst tycoon - and also a phlegm.
The work marks YoonA's return to the small screen, and is also the first time she and Lee Chae Min have been together. Previously, Lee Heon's role was assigned to Park Sung Hoon, however, he withdrew before filming due to personal controversy.
According to YoonA, she did not care too much about the male lead in the project being changed but only focused on her role. Meanwhile, Lee Chae Min confessed that joining the film crew late put him under pressure.
Its true that I have little time, so I feel a lot of burden and responsibility. But director Jang Tae Yoo often made appointments so that I could attend group script readings and clearly define the character's personality and emotional expressions. In addition, co-stars also supported and helped me a lot" - the actor born in 2000.
According to the director, YoonA and Lee Chae Min both tried very hard for this role. For him, the film not only depicts the culinary profession but also recreates culinary art in a rich and diverse way.
Because the flavor cannot be felt through the screen, the dish must stand out visibly in each frame. We have to prepare and present it so that viewers can almost feel the flavor with their own eyes. Although that challenge is difficult, it is also very interesting - the director said.
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty will premiere on August 23. This means that the film will compete for viewership ratings with the films "Dream of a Lawyer" (played by Lee Jin Wook), "Golden Time Son" (played by Jung Il Woo), "Miracle Team" (played by Yoon Kye Sang)...
