The new Netflix K-drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty has quickly become the talk of the town in 2025, setting new records and winning hearts both in South Korea and globally. Starring Girls’ Generation’s YoonA and rising actor Lee Chae-min, the show has achieved the highest ratings for any tvN drama this year, while also stirring lively conversations online.

Bon Appetit, Your Majesty breaks records

Since its premiere, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty has seen rapid growth in viewership. As reported by Soompi, the fourth episode reached an impressive nationwide average rating of 11.1%, making it the most-watched tvN drama of 2025 so far. This milestone also secured the show’s position at the top of its time slot across all channels. It’s not just the overall numbers that stand out, the series performed strongly among the key 20 to 49 age group, earning a solid 4.5% rating nationwide. Such demographic success is especially important for advertisers and reflects the show’s wide appeal.




The show’s success is not limited to South Korea. On Netflix, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty has quickly climbed the ranks to enter the Top 10 non-English language shows worldwide.


A big highlight has been the chemistry between YoonA and Lee Chae-min. Even with an 11-year age gap, fans find their on-screen bond natural and exciting. Their kiss scene in episode four went viral quickly and became a hot topic of discussion.

Fans hail the lead actors' chemistry

The drama is inspired by a historical web novel but mixes fantasy and romance with palace intrigue, carefully avoiding controversial historical details. Originally, the younger male lead was to be played by Park Sung-hoon, but after his withdrawal, Lee Chae-min stepped in and has since been widely praised for his performance.


YoonA continues to prove her status as the “rom-com queen,” delivering a warm, humorous, and emotionally deep portrayal that resonates with viewers. Beyond ratings, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty dominates social media buzz and OTT platform discussions, confirming its status as one of 2025’s must-watch Korean dramas.
