Bon Appétit, Your Majesty: A Love Story That Transcends Time, Culture & Place

Picture sourced from Netflix

Netflix’s Bon Appétit, Your Majesty has captured hearts everywhere with its perfect recipe of fantasy, romance, and visual splendor. In the drama, Im Yoon-ah stars as Yeon Ji-yeong, a French-trained chef from modern-day Seoul who is suddenly transported to the Joseon era. There, she becomes the royal chef to King Yi Heon (Lee Chae-min) — a ruler both feared and fascinating, with a refined palate and a quiet longing for connection.

What unfolds is not just a love story between two people but between worlds. A meeting of past and present, of tradition and individuality — told through food, emotion, and breathtaking imagery.

Where History Meets Modern Romance, featuring Petite France

There is something timeless about Bon Appétit, Your Majesty — how it captures the delicate balance between old-world grace and contemporary spirit. Scenes in the drama at Petite France, with its charming French-style streets, blur the lines between home and elsewhere, evoking nostalgia and whimsy. That same emotion often comes alive in OneThreeOneFour’s pre-wedding photoshoots, where couples journey across continents to capture moments that feel both deeply personal and visually cinematic.

From palaces that whisper history to rustic village paths that glow in the evening sun, each location becomes a stage where love transcends time. Whether it is the quiet charm of Kyoto’s wooden streets, the golden courtyards of Seoul’s Gyeongbokgung, or the serene countryside of Taiwan, every frame tells a story, especially one that blends past and present seamlessly.

Every couple brings their own story — some drawn by the romance of cinematic landscapes, others inspired by cultural heritage or simply the dream of capturing love in a beautiful new place. Whether it is beneath palace roofs, along rustic streets, or across serene fields, each destination becomes a chapter waiting to be written.

Heritage That Whispers Elegance, inspired by Myungyeong Saejae Open Set

In Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, the palace serves more than a backdrop — it adds character. Some of the most memorable palace-type scenes were filmed at the Mungyeong Saejae Open Set, a purpose-built historical drama village where traditional architecture blends with panoramic mountain views to create sweeping, cinematic majesty.

In OneThreeOneFour’s heritage shoots, similar elegance comes alive — gowns flowing beneath carved wooden archways, soft light spilling through open corridors, moments that feel intimate and timeless. These heritage sites echo the same grandeur and romantic serenity seen in the drama, inspired by the elegance of sets like Mungyeong Saejae.

Charming Village Streets and Scenic Views

Beyond the palace walls, the scenes at Gosanjeong Pavilion showcase cliffs and scenic vistas, capturing both grandeur and quiet intimacy. OneThreeOneFour’s countryside and village shoots echo this magic: soft laughter shared under lanterns, gentle touches along rustic lanes, and moments framed by rooftops and natural scenery.

The essential blend of timeless charm, cinematic framing, and emotional resonance. Cobblestone paths, serene village streets, or mountain vistas become the perfect setting for couples to express connection and joy.

From Joseon to the Modern Day — A Love That Transcends Time

Just like Yeon Ji-yeong’s journey across eras, every OneThreeOneFour shoot celebrates love that transcends boundaries — cultural, temporal, or geographic. The beauty lies in contrasts: traditional hanbok or gown against modern cityscapes, contemporary styles in historic villages, or quiet gestures captured against cinematic backdrops.

Whether it is a palace, a village, or a landscape similar to what was seen in the drama, each frame becomes a bridge between past and present — a story of love that feels both deeply rooted and endlessly new.

Your Cinematic Chapter Awaits

Just like in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, where an unexpected journey across time transforms into a beautifully woven story of love and connection, a pre-wedding shoot is more than a scene — it is a memory you will carry for life. Whether you are inspired by the romance of the drama, cultural storytelling, or simply the joy of cinematic fantasy, OneThreeOneFour helps you turn those dreams into a visual story uniquely yours.
