Netflix’s Bon Appétit, Your Majesty’s ending explained
The finale of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty opens with Prince Jesan unleashing chaos across the palace. He manipulates Queen Ja-hyeon to install Jin-myeong as king, paving the way for his own ultimate rise to power. Meanwhile, Gong-gil manages to rescue Ji-young and rushes to find him in Salgoji Forest.
On the other side, remnants of the Urimwi ambush the North Gate. Yi Heon confronts Jesan and consort Kang, realizing they’ve been plotting against him from the very beginning. In a tense moment, Yi Heon and Jesan share a drink, discussing how Jesan orchestrated the killings and how Yi Heon discovered the truth.
Yi Heon warns Jesan to uphold Jin-myeong’s reign carefully, to avoid the mistakes he once made. Only then will Yi Heon take responsibility for his dethronement. Imprisoned, Yi Heon receives his Mangunrok and writes a message to Ji-young, hoping that if she ever reads it, she might return to him. The king is then exiled from the palace.
Outside, he briefly meets Ji-young, but guards intervene. He is nearly executed, but soldiers arrive in time to save him. Soon after, war breaks out between Jesan’s forces and Yi Heon’s loyalists. Chun-saeng joins the battle, launching attacks against Jesan. During the chaos, Jesan kidnaps Ji-young, while Gong-gil avenges his sister by killing Consort Kang.
In the climactic showdown, Yi Heon fights Jesan to rescue Ji-young. As Jesan raises his sword, Ji-young steps in, accidentally taking the blow herself. Yi Heon, devastated, kills Jesan.
Ji-young awakens back in her own time, having been in a coma, and reunites with her father. She checks the internet and finds no trace of Yi Heon. Holding onto hope, she recites the words from the Mangunrok, but he does not appear. A month later, Ji-young is called to a new job. Skeptical at first, she discovers the reincarnation of the chefs she worked with in Joseon now helping her as colleagues.
Song-jae arrives as a hotel visitor, critiquing her dish, but Yi Heon suddenly appears to defend her. Overwhelmed with emotion, Ji-young hugs him, and the two share a kiss. Bon Appétit, Your Majesty closes with Yi Heon keeping his promise, cooking her bibimbap. When Ji-young asks how he found her, Yi Heon simply replies that it is a long story.
