YoonA and Lee Chae Min ‘s star-crossed romance wrapped with a tightly sealed happy ending. The tvN weekend drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty signed off on September 28th, notching its highest ratings yet—an average nationwide viewership of 17.1% and a peak of 19.4%. The finale not only broke the show’s own record but also topped all broadcast and cable channels in its timeslot.

The closing chapter saw Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min) battle back against Prince Jesan (Choi Gwi Hwa), who staged a coup after Heon was dethroned. In the end, the rebellion’s conspirators led by Jesan and Heon’s consort Kang Mok Ju (Kang Hanna)—met a brutal downfall, but the chaos left its mark. Yeon Ji Young (YoonA) threw herself in front of Jesan’s blade to save Heon, only for the mystical Mangunlok to pull her back into the modern world. Heon’s devastated cries at losing her rang heavy with viewers.

The book ended with his final words: “If you, whom I adore, ever read this, I hope you come back to me. Then I’ll be the one who recognized you from the beginning. I’ll be the one who loved you from the beginning.” #BonAppetitYourMajestyEp12 #BonAppetitYourMajesty pic.twitter.com/z2UskljfFg — ⋆˚࿔ 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙈𝙖𝙟𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮 𝜗𝜚˚⋆ (@ashdresaura) September 28, 2025
