The finale of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty dropped on September 28 and had K-drama fans completely hooked till the very last second. The show, which brought together Lee Chae Min and YoonA in a rare period romance packed with fantasy and food, ended on an emotional yet satisfying note. Viewers got exactly what they hoped for—a happy ending that tied up all loose ends while leaving a few tears behind.
The story took a dramatic turn in the final episodes when King Yi Heon and Chef Yeon Ji Young’s relationship blossomed into love after a shocking kiss. However, peace didn’t last long. The Grand Prince’s sinister plot against the King came to light during the Queen Dowager’s 70th birthday, leading to political chaos and betrayal within the palace walls. When Yi Heon refused to play by their rules, the villains spread false rumors of his death and treason, forcing him to flee the palace.
Despite everything, Chef Yeon refused to believe the King was gone. She sent loyal friends to find him and eventually reunited with Yi Heon, only for the two to be torn apart again by a cruel twist of fate. In a bloody final showdown with Grand Prince Jesan, Yeon was mortally wounded while trying to protect her love. As she lay dying, she confessed her feelings for Yi Heon—and vanished into thin air, drawn back into the magical recipe book, Mangunrok.
The story then jumped to modern-day Seoul, where Yeon Ji Young woke up in a hospital, heartbroken and desperate to return to the past. She tried to use the book again but failed. Months passed as she returned to her restaurant job, trying to move on, though her memories of the King never faded.
Just when fans thought it was over, the most beautiful twist arrived. A man speaking in old Joseon Korean walked into her restaurant—it was Yi Heon himself. The King had somehow found his way to her world. Their emotional reunion was filled with tears, laughter, and finally, a passionate kiss that sealed their story with love rather than tragedy.
The epilogue was pure joy. The couple now lives together in a cozy Hanok-style home in modern Seoul. Yi Heon, once a royal monarch, now cooks for Yeon Ji Young while she playfully critiques his dishes. Their conversations blend the old Joseon language with modern Korean, a sweet nod to their timeless connection. The show closes on a heartwarming note—two souls from different centuries finding home in each other.
The ending of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty delivered everything a fan could wish for: romance, redemption, and a fairy-tale ending wrapped in beautiful storytelling.
