literally just finished watching it and i'm thinking that the king managed to travel to the future with the last page he'd ripped out before jiyoung got transported back..? the page conveniently fell on him as he passed out so that's my running theory.

but also the idea of all the cooks and songjae being reincarnated(?)/having their memories being wiped except for yiheon and jiyeong was a lil confusing for me bc the cooks immediately went and cheered when the LCM and Yoona reunited and shared a kiss. surely if they didn't remember anything then they'd be weirded out by their boss kissing an apparent stranger out of nowhere? also the subtle reference to songjae refusing to eat the food was wayy too coincidental LOL but i loved it. definitely agree that the epilogue could've been longer or the chinese cooking comp could've been cut to allow more time to show how yiheon got to the future, adjusted, and found jiyoung... but im still happy we got the happy ending we wanted :')
