tvN’s upcoming drama “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has unveiled the first stills of Choi Gwi Hwa in character!
Based on a popular web novel, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a fantasy romance drama starring Lim YoonA as Yeon Ji Young, an award-winning French chef who winds up traveling 500 years back into the past. There, she meets despotic king Lee Heon ( Lee Chae Min ), who is known as the worst of tyrants-and who also happens to be a discerning gourmet.
Choi Gwi Hwa plays Grand Prince Jesan, the late king’s half-brother and uncle to the current king, Lee Heon. Despite holding the powerful position of head of the Royal Kitchen-overseeing the ingredients used in the king’s meals-Jesan is rarely seen in the palace, spending his days indulging in wine and women. Though he carries a royal title, his scandalous lifestyle is so notorious that even other royals and court officials view him with disdain.
Outwardly, Jesan appears cheerful and carefree, flashing a hearty smile as he strolls through the capital. But beneath that facade lies a cold-blooded man capable of unspeakable cruelty. With his every move shrouded in uncertainty, he’s a ticking time bomb at the heart of the palace.
The newly released stills hint at the dual nature of Jesan, a key player in the palace power struggle. While he hides behind a jovial facade, the mask slips when he’s in his own territory-revealing a far more menacing side. What is the real face of Grand Prince Jesan, and what does he truly want?
“Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” will premiere on August 23 at 9:10 p.m. KST.
