The finale leaves plenty of threads that hint at more story to tell. While Yi Heon finally reunites with Ji-young in her modern world, the question of how he survived, how he traveled between worlds, and how he tracked her down in the first place is still largely unexplored. That “long story” he mentions at the end is practically an open door for new events that shaped him in Joseon. Additionally, the reincarnation of the chefs with unfinished conflicts suggest that there’s room to expand the story beyond the finale. So, the new challenges in both the modern world and possibly with more historical references give writers plenty of material to explore.Watch all 12 episodes of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty on Netflix!
