Studio Dragon’s hit series “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has ranked as the third most-watched title globally by total hours viewed across all series content on Netflix during the second half of 2025, positioning itself alongside global phenomena such as “Wednesday” and “Stranger Things.”

According to the “What We Watched: A Netflix Engagement Report” for H2 2025, released on January 21, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” amassed 588.3 million hours viewed worldwide. 

Originally released in August 2025 on tvN, TVING and Netflix, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a time-slip romantic comedy that follows Yeon Ji-young (Lim Yoon-a), a French chef with uncompromising culinary standards, who unexpectedly becomes the royal chef of Yeonhuigun (Lee Chae-min), a feared tyrant and demanding gourmet. Blending fantasy, romance and traditional Korean cuisine, the series quickly resonated with global audiences.

Within just three weeks of release, the drama surpassed 100 million cumulative hours viewed and reached a peak viewership rating of 20% on tvN, becoming one of the most talked-about Korean dramas of 2025.

"This year, we are set to unveil a diverse lineup of new originals, including 'Teach You a Lesson', 'Notes from the Last Row', and 'Slow, but Intensive' on Netflix, as well as 'Gold Land' on Disney+," said a representative from Studio Dragon. "Additionally, several other major projects, such as 'Yumi’s Cells Season 3' are slated for global release soon as we continue to solidify our position as a leading K-drama powerhouse through the production of well-made content."
