Heo’s Diner

Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo
If you loved the whole “modern woman thrown into the past” storyline in Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, then Moon Lovers is your next stop. IU stars as Hae Soo, who suddenly finds herself in the Goryeo dynasty after a solar eclipse. Sounds dramatic? Oh, it absolutely is.
Here’s the twist—she doesn’t just meet one prince. She ends up tangled with several, including the enigmatic and scarred Wang So, played by Lee Joon Gi. The romance is tragic, the politics are ruthless, and the heartbreak? Let’s just say you’ll need tissues nearby.
What makes Moon Lovers unforgettable is its star-studded cast: Kang Ha Neul, Nam Joo Hyuk, Hong Jong Hyun, Byun Baekhyun, and more. It’s one of those rare dramas that lives rent-free in fans’ hearts years after its release.
Mr Queen
If Bon Appetit, Your Majesty made you laugh with its fish-out-of-water humor, Mr Queen takes that concept to a whole new level. Imagine a modern-day male chef who suddenly wakes up… in the body of a Joseon queen. That’s exactly what happens to Jang Bong Hwan (played hilariously by Choi Jin Hyuk before Shin Hye Sun takes over as Queen Cheorin).
It’s chaotic, it’s hilarious, and surprisingly heartfelt. The queen’s awkward attempts to adjust to royal life while still thinking like a modern man? Pure comedy gold. Plus, the romance with King Cheoljong (Kim Jung Hyun) is full of unexpected twists.
And honestly, if you liked the culinary angle in Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, you’ll get a kick out of how Bong Hwan keeps slipping in modern food knowledge to survive palace politics.
Tastefully Yours
Romance, food, and a clash of perspectives—that’s the heart of Tastefully Yours. Han Beom U (played by Kang Ha Neul) is the heir to a massive food empire, but here’s the kicker: he doesn’t actually care about taste. Meanwhile, Mo Yeon Ju (Go Min Si) runs a tiny, no-name restaurant in the countryside, obsessed with the essence of flavor.
When the two are thrown together to co-manage a small restaurant in Jeonju, sparks fly. Their bickering, growth, and eventual romance are the kind of feel-good storytelling that keeps you watching episode after episode.
If you liked the balance of sweet romance and food-centered storytelling in Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, this drama is a natural follow-up.
King the Land
Now, if your favorite part of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty was Yoona’s charm (and let’s be real, she was magnetic), then King the Land is a must-watch. This time, she plays Cheon Sa Rang, a cheerful hotel staff member who crosses paths with Goo Won, the prickly heir to a luxury hotel chain, played by Lee Junho.
Unlike the sageuk vibes of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, this one is set in the glittering world of modern hospitality. But the romance? Just as swoon-worthy. Their banter, the longing stares, and that perfect mix of fluff and tension made the drama a viral sensation in 2023.

Wok of Love

Seo Poong, a genius chef, sees his career crash and burn after betrayal by his fiancée and boss. Left with nothing, he takes over a failing Chinese restaurant, determined to rebuild his life from scratch.
Here’s where it gets juicy: Seo Poong teams up with Dan Sae Woo, a wealthy heiress whose life collapses overnight. Add in Doo Chil Seong (played by Jang Hyuk), a former gangster turned hopeless romantic, and you’ve got yourself a love triangle that’s equal parts messy and delightful.
For fans of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty, this drama will feel like home—there’s food, passion, second chances, and yes, romance that simmers like a perfect stir-fry.
