The drama continues to dominate buzz rankings as well. According to Good Data Corporation, Bon Appétit, Your Majesty ranked No.1 in combined TV-OTT drama buzz for the third week of September, while lead actress YoonA held onto the top spot in cast buzz rankings for five consecutive weeks.

With only two episodes left, the highly anticipated finale is set to air on September 28.
