Studio Dragon continues its streak of global mega-hits, following “The Glory”(2023) and “Queen of Tears”(2024)
Studio Dragon’s hit series “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” has officially ranked as the third most-watched title globally in terms of total hours viewed across all series content on Netflix for the second half of 2025.
According to the ‘What We Watched: A Netflix Engagement Report’ for H2 2025 released on on January 21, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” amassed an impressive 588.3 million hours viewed during the period. This performance places the series at the very top of the global charts, trailing only “Wednesday Season 2” (#1 with 964.1M hours) and “Stranger Things 5” (#2 with 879.7M hours), reflecting the immense global popularity of the show.
Originally released in August last year through tvN, TVING, and Netflix, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is a time-slip romantic comedy in which Yeon Ji-young(Lim Yoon-a), a French chef who cannot tolerate anything less than the best cuisine, becomes the royal chef of Yeonhuigun(Lee Chae-min), the worst tyrant and demanding gourmet, and survives each day by cooking delicious food. Its unique blend of time-travel fantasy, romance, and traditional Korean cuisine captivated audiences worldwide, surpassing 100 million cumulative hours viewed within just three weeks of release and achieving a peak viewership rating of 20% on tvN, becoming the most talked-about drama of 2025.
Studio Dragon, which supplies content to various global platforms, continues to prove its unparalleled production competitiveness by consistently delivering K-drama mega-hits year after year. Since the first Netflix bi-annual engagement report was released, Studio Dragon’s productions have remained global mainstays: “The Glory” ranked No. 3 in H1 2023 (622.8M hours), and “Queen of Tears” secured the No. 3 spot in H1 2024 (682.6M hours), showcasing the power of K-romance.
“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.”
