In his exclusive interview, Park Youngwoon revealed that in the early version of the script, the character Gong Gil actually had deep feelings for Yeon Jiyoung. However, this storyline only appeared vaguely in the final episode through the dialogue that said, "Cook Yeon, farewell. I will let you go now."
According to Park, this important scene was cut during the production process. He explained that many parts of the story were changed or removed due to the limitation of having only 12 episodes, causing some character emotions to not be fully conveyed to the audience.

Park Youngwoon confirmed that the character Gong Gil actually harbors deep love for Yeon Jiyoung. This fact came as a huge surprise to fans, as throughout the 12 aired episodes, those feelings were only implied through glances and subtle actions.
Park explained that the dialogue was an emotional representation of Gong Gil choosing to let go of Yeon Jiyoung for his inner peace. This moment is now considered by many viewers as one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the drama BON APPETIT, YOUR MAJESTY.
3. The Character of Gong Gil and the Hidden Story

Gong Gil, played by Lee Joo-ahn, is portrayed as the loyal assistant to King Yi Heon. In history, this character is adapted from a Joseon-era artist known as a clever street clown who boldly criticized the nobility.
In the drama version, Gong Gil has two sides: the protector of the king and a man who harbors a grudge over the death of his sister. Park Youngwoon added that Gong Gil's feelings of love for Yeon Jiyoung add an emotional color that is not highlighted much because it was cut from the final result.
4. Focus of the Script and Gong Gil's Inner Struggle

The original script depicts Gong Gil initially hating King Yi Heon because he believes the King is responsible for his sister's death. However, over time, Gong Gil discovers the truth that Consort Kang is the mastermind behind the tragedy.
This change in perspective adds complexity to Gong Gil's character as he must choose between revenge and his quietly growing love for Yeon Jiyoung. Unfortunately, this emotional arc was lost when the series was condensed into just 12 episodes.
5. Call for Season 2 and Fans' Hopes

One popular comment wrote, "I knew from the start he liked Jiyoung! But why wasn't it shown? Please continue the story." Currently, all 12 episodes of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty are still available to watch on Netflix, but there has been no official news regarding the continuation of the series.
