The actor Korea loves, Byeon Woo-seok, returns as "Perfect Crown."
In MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Perfect Crown," which will premiere in April 2026 (screenplay by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young), Byeon Woo-seok takes on the role of Grand Prince Iaan, who has nothing but his status, and aims to capture viewers' hearts.
In the drama, Grand Prince Iaan is the only younger brother of the late king and was born with the inherent limitation of being the royal family's second son, who must neither shine nor speak out; he has lived concealing himself. Nevertheless, the people name him "the most beloved royal in Korea," and they give absolute support to Grand Prince Iaan's handsome looks and overwhelming dignity and charisma.
After the deaths of his father and older brother, he effectively leads the royal family as regent on behalf of his young nephew who abruptly took the throne, but at the same time forces seeking to check Grand Prince Iaan are growing stronger. Amid this, he receives a proposal of a contract marriage from chaebol Seong Hee-joo (played by IU), a commoner-born heiress, and turmoil begins to shake his quiet daily life. Attention is focused on what new destiny Grand Prince Iaan, who has lived hiding the sparks in his heart, will write after meeting Seong Hee-joo.
The released photos capture the image of Grand Prince Iaan, the royal loved by the people of Korea. His elegant figure draws attention as he conducts official duties in a neat suit and enjoys reading. Especially, even while enjoying leisure, Grand Prince Iaan's eyes never lose their light, conveying the aristocratic grace unique to royalty.
Also, in the scene where Grand Prince Iaan stands in the center of the palace and prominent figures bow their heads, his charisma that overwhelms the audience is evident. Both the royal family and the public show interest in every step Grand Prince Iaan takes, so attention is focused on how the royal marriage, a major royal affair, will proceed.
Expectations are high for Byeon Woo-seok's acting, which will create Grand Prince Iaan's tumultuous life that stirs the world simply by his existence. Byeon Woo-seok, who rewrote the history of the romantic lead and moved fans worldwide with the drama Lovely Runner, will captivate viewers by exuding an untouchable prince aura through the character of Grand Prince Iaan in "Perfect Crown."
You can meet the grand prince Byeon Woo-seok, who has nothing but his status, in MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Perfect Crown," set in 21st-century constitutional monarchy Korea. It is a status-breaking romance about a woman who has everything as a chaebol but is irked by being of commoner status, and a man who is the king's son but has nothing and is sad, premiering in April.
