I love bon appétit your majesty so much, I had to draw this scene of them from ep 4 <3 speedpaint under the cut!

to be honest, i have several not exactly good thoughts about the ending, but even more honestly i don't care because they ended up together.

[bawkbawkbuckley]

bon appetit, your majesty questions that i wish we could get answers to:

IT'S BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE THE FINALE BUT IM STILL NOT OVER IT AND THIS HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY DRAFTS SINCE THEN.

so let me preface this by saying that i absolutely loved the ending. i mean sure, it was rushed, and i have a feeling it was a last minute change because it felt... off. but that's a conversation for another day. i love the ending in the sense that it could've been worse LOL and it had everything i wanted so i won't complain. it was cute and cheesy, you bet i ate that up! i say that it's fan service but i'm a fan who definitely got serviced :p

with that said, these are questions i have that i was hoping they can answer:

Time loop questions:

what did the flashback Jiyoung have at the beginning of ep 1, when it occurred to her to cook her dish over the open flame, mean? she thought about the ancient way of cooking - does this mean she was already in a time loop (like she already went to the past) or was it something she "saw" because it's something she remembered from like, reading about it?

was this a closed time loop? honestly just getting an explanation regarding the mechanism of the time loop would be nice. bc we saw on the first ep that the last page is already torn so the events of the coup/purge/jiyoung dying already took place. so jiyoung going to the past didn't affect the future bc the past already took place. EXCEPT WHEN IT DID...?

considering the two points above, re: Jiyoung already going to the past -- had the events already happened, but she gets killed and then just gets sent back to the future with her memory wiped?

in the last ep, in current-day, Jiyoung researches Yeonhuigun and she realized that history was rewritten. meaning the "future"/current day Jiyoung is at isn't the same one she left in the first ep? this implies that a new timeline branched out, right?

Mangunrok power questions:

what "activates" the Mangunrok? like yeah it was implied that the moon has something to do with it but how?

does the Mangunrok itself have the powers or is it the moon? how did it get time travel abilities omg

how did Yi Heon use just one page of the Mangunrok to travel to the future?

the most important question here is how the heck did Yi Heon travel to the future???? although i feel like that can be answered had they just explained the mechanisms of the time travel + Mangunrok's abilities. idrc how he managed to find her when he made it to the present bc she's a public figure and all he needs to do is ask for her name + the fact that she's a chef and he could easily find her.

anyways, them pulling this move is the funniest thing:

My dearly beloved if you were to read this someday may you come back to my side

Ji-young has no idea, the Mangunrok disappeared because Yi-Heon, the king, has created one so there cannot be two Mangunroks in the same era.
