It may not serve the perfect ending, but still a dish worth tasting at least once
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is a drama that left me with mixed but memorable feelings. At its core, it’s an enjoyable story with beautifully presented cooking scenes that are both aesthetically pleasing and emotionally engaging. The way characters respond to food in the beginning was one of the highlights for me—fun, warm, and very entertaining.
The pacing of the story starts off well, making it easy to follow and enjoyable, but somewhere past the halfway point it begins to feel rushed. While the plot was intriguing, something seemed missing, especially in the romance. The female lead’s feelings toward the male lead never felt fully convincing or deeply developed, which made their sudden love story less impactful. Instead, the drama often felt more like a slice-of-life journey through the Joseon dynasty, with romance added in a way that didn’t fully bloom.
The biggest letdown for me was the ending. Rather than giving a satisfying or emotional conclusion, it leaned toward an avoidant type of closure. Since this is a time-travel drama, I expected at least a clearer explanation or emotional closure of how the male lead could reunite with the female lead. Instead, the finale felt incomplete, leaving me wishing for either a truly happy ending or even a bittersweet, sad ending—anything more conclusive than what we got.
Despite its flaws, Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is still worth watching if you enjoy historical settings with a touch of fantasy and food-centered storytelling. It’s a good drama with beautiful visuals and charming moments, though you might find yourself craving a more satisfying conclusion.
