Lee Jae Won and Chae Seo-an boast the loving harmony befitting the Castle Group's representative couple.
Perfect Crown, a new MBC Friday-Saturday drama that will premiere in April 2026 (writer Yoo Ji-won / directors Park Jun-hwa, Bae Hee-young / planner Kang Dae-seon / produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment), will feature Lee Jae Won and Chae Seo-an as Castle Group's eldest Seong Tae-joo and Han Da-young, the daughter of a former Ministry of Justice Minister, respectively, and they are expected to exude an overpowering, cringe-inducing chemistry.
In the drama, Seong Tae-joo is the eldest of the Castle Group and the half brother of Seong Hee-joo (played by IU). After a long relationship, he married Han Da-young, a proper young woman from a respectable family, and dreams of becoming a husband who would not be ashamed in the eyes of others. He is fiercely competing with his competitive younger sister Seong Hee-joo to seize the position of successor to the Castle Group.
Han Da-young, Seong Tae-joo's wife, is the daughter of a former Ministry of Justice Minister. Possessing beauty, intelligence and social standing, Han Da-young enjoys a happy married life with Seong Tae-joo, who values her highly. Harboring the ambition to make her husband, who is pushed around by his father and overshadowed by his sister, the most outstanding man in the world, she continues a subtle rivalry with her sister-in-law Seong Hee-joo.
Unlike Seong Hee-joo, who chose a contract marriage with Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok), Seong Tae-joo and Han Da-young married after a long romance and share a honeyed daily life. As their devotion to one another is second to none, the activities of the Seong Tae-joo–Han Da-young couple are drawing anticipation.
Particular attention is on the meeting of Lee Jae Won and Chae Seo-an, who will portray the Seong Tae-joo–Han Da-young couple. Lee Jae Won, who captured viewers' hearts with his cheerful energy through various hit works, and Chae Seo-an, who made an impression on viewers with the drama When Life Gives You Tangerines, promise a lively synergy that foreshadows abundant entertainment.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, which lets viewers confirm the adorable romance of Castle Group's darling couple Lee Jae Won and Chae Seo-an, is set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy Korea and depicts a story of a woman who has everything as a chaebol but is frustratingly of commoner status and a man who is the king's son but tragically can possess nothing, a romance about breaking social barriers and forging their own destinies, and it will premiere in April.
