What to Anticipate in the Finale
While the exact plot is not fully confirmed, based on prior episodes and narrative momentum, here’s what fans are anticipating:
- Political upheaval & schemes: Factions in the court—particularly involving Prince Je-Seon and Queen Dowager Inju—are expected to escalate their power plays as the throne is threatened.
- Ji-yeong’s dilemma: Will she remain in Joseon with Yi Heon, or return to her original time? The series has seeded this tension through prior episodes.
- Emotional closure between leads: The romance has built through culinary liaisons (e.g. Yi Heon’s promise about cooking bibimbap), and many expect a defining moment or confession in the finale.
- Rescues, confrontations, or betrayals: Given the high stakes, one or both episodes might integrate rescue missions, betrayals by trusted allies, or revelations about hidden pasts.
Because most final episodes in K-dramas hinge on reconciling conflict, love, and legacy, expect a balance: romantic closure + satisfying resolution of political arcs.
