Here are the final thoughts of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty stars:
- Lim Yoona - Just like Yeon Ji Young, who always cooked from the heart while thinking of the person who would eat her meal, I also poured my heart into my acting for each and every scene. There was a lot to prepare for Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, and I also felt a strong sense of responsibility, so I feel especially fond of the drama, and I think it will remain in my heart for a long time. I'm truly so sad that it's already ending. I don't think I'll be able to forget the time I spent living as Yeon Ji Young and the eight months of memories I made all over the country with director Jang Tae Yoo and the entire cast and crew. Above all else, I gained so much strength from the immense love and support we received from our many viewers. I'd like to sincerely thank everyone who gave their love to Bon Appétit, Your Majesty and Yeon Ji Young.
- Lee Chae Min - I'm so happy and grateful that our drama was able to wrap up while receiving so much love and interest. It was a valuable time of learning and growth for me, who was lacking in many ways, and it brought me happiness. It still lingers with me, and it became a powerful driving force for the me of the future. I will ceaselessly continue to make efforts to become an actor who can repay you with even better projects and acting.
- Kang Han Na - Thanks to all the love that viewers gave Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, which was painstakingly created piece by piece through the efforts of the cast and crew, I was happy throughout the entire drama. Because viewers from not only Korea but all over the world tuned in, I think I will remember it as an even more meaningful drama. I hope that you'll remember our drama every time you eat delicious food, and I hope you'll always be happy.
