Lim Yoona comforted Lee Chae-min's wounds with sincere food.
In the fourth episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’(directed by Jang Tae-yu, script by fGRD, planned studio dragon, production film drawing, and Jeong Yu-nibus), Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah)'s friendly touch to heal loneliness caused a change in the mind of tyrant Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min).
As a result, the ratings for the 4th episode broke their own records with an average of 11.4% and 13.6% for households in the Seoul metropolitan area, 11.1% for households nationwide, and 13% for the entire 2025 tvN drama and the number one for all channels, including terrestrial broadcasting. In tvN's target 2049 male and female viewership, the national average was 4.5% and up to 5.3%, and the metropolitan area was 4% and up to 4.9%, ranking first in all channels, including terrestrial broadcasting.(Based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite / provided by Nielsen Korea)
When the competition on the subject of filial piety (孝) took place for the colonel's position, Yeon Ji-young thought about food that could satisfy the taste of Inju the Great Daebi (Seo Yi-sook), the judge who will decide the match. In the meantime, I remembered the words of Yoon Chun-sik (played by Jung Kyu-soo), an insider, that Inju the Great Daebi is looking for a refreshing taste of soybean paste soup cooked by her mother in the past.
Yeon Ji-young, who discovered the secret to the refreshing flavor, then put on sushi, soybean paste soup with spinach, rice, and side dishes. Yeon Ji-young's food not only touched the heart of the great king but also expressed the theme of 'hyo' as it contains a wish for good health. Yeon Ji-young thus achieved the feat of winning the competition by proving the quality of a colonel's master.
However, since the cooking competition ended, Lee Heon's mood has been rapidly declining. This is because the concubine Kang Mok-joo (played by Kang Han-na) touched the heart of Lee Heon, who surrounds Yeon Ji-young, by telling his mother's story. The news that Lee Heon's sensitive index exploded soon spread to Suragan, and Yeon Ji-young prepared soybean paste pasta containing memories of herself and her father to soothe Lee Heon.
Lee Hun, who felt better after eating Yeon Ji-young's cooking, began to feel homogeneity with Yeon Ji-young, who lost her mother as a child and grew up alone by her father. Lee Hun, who gave the crude comfort from his heart, showed interest in Yeon Ji-young's words that came from the future through a book called 「Mangunrok」, suggesting that his mind was changing little by little.
It was only for a while that Yeon Ji-young's food restored stability, and Lee Heon expressed his anger once again when he heard that his subordinate, who was looking for the truth about his mother's death, had been attacked by a guest. Because it was a secret name that no one knew except Choi Geun-hye, Lee Heon was deeply alone, thinking that everyone in the palace was related to his mother's death.
Yeon Ji-young, who was summoned to the grave by Lee Heon, who stayed up all night drinking to soothe the loneliness, was bewildered to see Lee Heon, who collapsed drunk. Just as Lee Heon tried to wake up Lee Heon, saying he brought the main prize, the distance between the two became sharply close as Lee Hun suddenly pulled Yeon Ji-young.
Yeon Ji-young, who was about to get up from her seat, broke down in tears and froze at Lee Heon's voice saying, `Stay as you are, wait a moment.' As soon as Lee Heon's eyes and Yeon Ji-young's eyes, which were stained with wounds, met in the air, Lee Heon carefully kissed Yeon Ji-young and made viewers' hearts flutter.

As if surprised by Lee Heon's sudden kiss, Yeon Ji-young also accepted his hand with a lot of rigidity, adding to the excitement. Curiosity intensifies as to what kind of change the drunk contact accident that occurred at the moon night will bring to the relationship between the two and what the meaning of Lee Heon's kiss will be.

On the other hand, Lee Heon, who was pondering Yeon Ji-young's story while recording the food she made and what happened that day, named the book Mangunrok. At that moment, the old book 'Mangunrok' in Yeon Ji-young's bag flashed and disappeared, surprising everyone. As Yeon Ji-young considers it Mangun-rok that brought her back to the past, the link between Mangun-rok, Lee Heon, and Yeon Ji-young is becoming more curious.
