If you like historicals with a little something extra, try Mr. Queen and The First Night with the Duke.

This is the fictional version of a real Joseon king, Yi Yung, better known in history as Yeonsangun. Yeonsangun is considered the worst tyrant king in the history of Korea, and he was not a food connoisseur as his fictional version is made out to be in this drama. Most of the historical events in this drama are real events from Yeonsangun's rule in Joseon history. Grand Queen Dowager Insu is a real historical figure. Consort Kang Mokju is obviously based on the royal concubine Jang Noksu, one of the most notorious royal women in Korean history, who was said to have great influence on Yeonsangun's despotic rule. I loved the chemistry between Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min in spite of their ten-year age difference. I still believe Park Sung-hoon would have been a better choice for the tyrant king, though. Chae-min is too "handsome" or "boyish," but he is better for a rom-com, which this drama essentially is. I also love Yoon-a's comic timing in this drama. I am seeing Kang Han-na for the first time since My Roommate Is a Gumiho. I could not stop myself from drawing parallels between this drama and Mr. Queen because time-slip and cooking are the main elements in both dramas.
