“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” Tops Netflix Global Rankings Ahead of Finale
Netflix’s hit K-romantic comedy “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is enjoying its strongest momentum yet as it climbs to #1 on the Global Netflix Non-English TV chart this week, only two weeks before its highly awaited finale. With four episodes left, the series is securing its place as one of the most talked-about Korean dramas of the year.
Starring Lim Yoon-a as Ji-young, a modern-day chef who slips back into Joseon, and Lee Chae-min as King Heon, the story has captured fans worldwide. Viewers are hooked not only by the romance but also by the spectacle of culinary battles. Each dish serves as a narrative layer, blending love, power struggles, and resilience. The recent spotlight episode, where Ji-young fused galbijjim with boeuf bourguignon, resonated across continents, mixing culinary craft with raw emotion.
International fandom continues to fuel the buzz. Social media is filled with fan edits, cooking recreations, and theories on the palace showdown. Fans are rooting for Ji-young and her team to outwit rival chefs and palace conspiracies.
The cast is equally grateful. “There are plenty more thrilling and heart-fluttering moments ahead, so please keep watching as Ji-young cooks her way through every challenge,” Lim Yoon-a shared. Lee Chae-min added that he looks forward to fans seeing how the King’s heart opens to Ji-young.
The global reach of the drama has been clear. “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” entered the Top 10 in 65 countries and now ranks #1 in the non-English series category with 6.8 million views in its fourth week. The New York Times described it as “a grab bag of genres, but at its core it’s a romantic comedy with cooking as its love language.”
Episode 9, arriving this weekend, is set to raise the stakes with a decisive culinary clash that could shift the balance of power between kingdoms. With intensifying romance and daring new dishes, the show is building toward a finale that promises both heartfelt resolution and unforgettable spectacle.
“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is now streaming only on Netflix.
