Netflix will drop the finale episodes of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty on September 27 and 28, 2025. The fantasy drama follows the story of chef Yeon Ji-young (Lim Yoon-ah), a top-tier French-trained cook, who finds herself pulled back in time to the royal palace. Tasked with serving King Yi Heon (Lee Chae-min), a feared ruler, she must survive the palace kitchen while facing power struggles.
Her goal is to stay alive to earn the king’s approval. Ahead of the release, fans are speculating how the story will close. The K-drama is based on Park Guk-jae’s web novel Surviving as Yeonsangun’s Chef. While the series renames the king as Yi Heon, the original character was based on the real Joseon ruler Yeonsangun.
According to one fan theory, both leads would meet heartbreaking fates. Ji-young dies in the Joseon era but awakens in a hospital in the modern day. Yi Heon would also be killed by Prince Jesan, who would shoot him as the king shields Ji-young. Mangunrok’s prophecy then triggers Ji-young’s return to the future.
Some viewers speculate that Ji-young will die in Joseon, prompting Yi Heon to go on a rampage in response to her death. He is also expected to complete the torn page of the Mangunrok, while she will remember him only through the pages of history.
they might really go w/ that route: jiyoung getting 💀 and yi heon going in a rampage — thus the purge they mentioned and recording (remaining) as the tyrant she knew in history books
She dies a martyr, and he goes on a rampage. Tragic. And I cant believe I’m saying this, but I do wanna see how Lee Chaemin would portray a tyrant on a warpath against his perceived enemies. Then cut to 2025 with the two of them riding off into the sunset #BonAppetitYourMajesty
Nawh I realised the trailers like to be very misleading. Most likely nobody dies except Jiyoung bc she needs to return to modern day. King grieves her in episode 12 and writes the final words on the front page — completing the full cycle of the book
While others believe their story ends in death, they are fated to meet again through reincarnation in 2025.
Yes other possible scenario is both of them will die in joseon during the treason and blink we are back in 2025
I was thinking the same, maybe if she dies in joseon she might come back to the present timeline and meet him there again.
Yeah both of are dying in the next two episodes! Less be ready #BonAppetitYourMajesty fans🚶♀️
Here's what fans can expect from Bon Appétit, Your Majesty?
The finale of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty unfolds with turmoil inside the palace. Prince Jesan, silent until now, steps forward with his vision of a new Joseon. His move comes as uprisings break out, targeting King Yi Heon. The majesty escapes the strikes but faces a harsher blow.
Prince Jesan presents him with his late mother’s blood-marked robe, exposing the truth of her poisoning. The moment shifts Yi Heon’s path toward the tyrant many feared. At the same time, Ji-young is taken by rebels under Consort Kang’s command.
Once Yi Heon learns of her capture, he rides out on horseback to save her, while unrest continues to shake the court. The preview also shows Ji-young wounded, leaving questions about her survival. Some hints suggest she may fall, only to return later. Earlier episodes revealed key turns.
Yi Heon let go of his pursuit of the Mangunrok, choosing Ji-young instead. He offered her a ring and kissed her. His grandmother was also revealed alive, keeping the cloth stained with his mother’s blood. The king’s choices and Ji-young's fate now hold the future of Joseon in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.
All 10 episodes of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty will be available to stream on Netflix!
