From Big Mouth to King the Land and now Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, actress Im YoonA has ignited three consecutive hits. With rising viewership, unmatched buzz, and topping global charts, all the ingredients for success have come together. YoonA has officially become August’s queen of the small screen.
Returning through tvN’s new weekend drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty (directed by Jang Tae-yoo, written by fGRD, produced by Film Grida and Jung Universe, planned by Studio Dragon), YoonA has once again proven why her name has become synonymous with guaranteed ratings. After only two episodes, the drama is already being hailed as her latest triumph. Following the stellar run of Big Mouth and King the Land, she now dominates both television and OTT platforms, cementing her reign.
The title of a “trustworthy actress” is reserved only for stars who perfectly combine box-office success with strong acting ability. YoonA has consistently taken on diverse genres and characters, growing through relentless work, and viewers have come to trust her name. That trust has transformed into explosive synergy with Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.
The series kicked off with impressive numbers, quickly climbing in ratings. According to Nielsen Korea, it debuted at 4.9% and soared to 6.6% by its second episode, securing the No.1 spot across cable and general networks in its time slot. This sharp rise reflects the overwhelming anticipation for YoonA’s comeback.
Globally, the response has been even more remarkable. Within its first week, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty topped Netflix’s Global Non-English TV Series chart, claiming the No.1 spot in 41 countries—a feat that highlights YoonA’s worldwide influence.
The drama also swept domestic buzz rankings. According to Good Data Corporation, it ranked No.1 in overall TV-OTT buzz during its premiere week, while YoonA herself claimed the top spot among all actors, underlining her dominance both on and off screen.
In the series, YoonA transforms into Yeon Ji-young, a South Korean French cuisine chef who time-slips into the past. Her lively, comedic performance offers a refreshing contrast to her role in King the Land. Paired with Lee Chae-min, she delivers captivating chemistry and brings depth and charisma to her character, reaffirming her versatility as an actress.
With three consecutive hits—Big Mouth, King the Land, and Bon Appétit, Your Majesty—Im YoonA has fully established herself as a powerhouse actress. Balancing domestic viewership, global OTT dominance, and overwhelming buzz, she has proven that her star power is at its peak. For YoonA, every weekend now feels like a feast of success.
