Bon Appétit, Your Majesty episode 11 shifts beyond cooking battles, as blood is shed and long-hidden secrets finally come to light.
Bon Appetit, Your Majesty episode 11 was intense, not for its usual captivating cooking scenes with Ji-Yeong, but for the palace dramas and betrayals that she and King Lee Heon must face. While both made their feelings clear without saying it outright, a happy ending is far from certain, especially with Prince Jesan’s mischievous plot against the King.

She also made him agree that he would not turn into a tyrant, showing how her presence kept him grounded even in fragile moments.
The King’s filial devotion was shown during the Queen Dowager’s banquet, where he danced in her honor.
