Overview

  • Producers acknowledged an incorrect hanja for “Taepyeongseongdae” in Episode 1, using 大 (big) instead of 代 (era) on a palace banner.
  • The team issued an apology and said the corrected text will appear in reruns and on-demand versions after revisions are completed.
  • Viewers criticized the mistake for breaking immersion, with some expressing concern about global perception given Netflix distribution to over 190 countries.
  • The series debuted on Aug. 23 on tvN and Netflix, starring Im Yoon‑Ah as a modern chef who time-slips to Joseon and Lee Chae Min as the king.
  • Early reviews of the first two episodes highlighted a light romcom tone, strong lead performances, and high-quality food-centric production.
