IU, Byeon Woo-seok, Noh Sang Hyun and Gong Seung-yeon lead the opening of the doors to the royal family of a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in Korea.
The MBC new Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, which will premiere at 9:40 p.m. on April 10 (written by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Jun-hwa, Bae Hee-young), has released a group poster showing the key figures who uphold politics, business and the royal family, raising expectations.
The group poster features the dignified appearances of conglomerate heiress Seong Hee-ju (played by IU), the royal family's second son Grand Prince I-an (played by Byeon Woo-seok), prime minister Min Jung-woo (played by Noh Sang Hyun) and queen dowager Yoon Yi-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon). The four people standing in front of the Ilwol Obongdo folding screen display their individual personalities through different poses.
First, attention is drawn to Seong Hee-ju and Grand Prince I-an, who occupy the center. Seong Hee-ju, the only person of commoner origin, lightly rests her arm on Grand Prince I-an's shoulder, and the royal family's second son, who did not become king, naturally leans toward Seong Hee-ju. Although their marriage was a contractual union chosen to change their fates, being bound by the name of husband and wife suggests they rely on each other.
Prime minister Min Jung-woo and queen dowager Yoon Yi-rang also gaze straight ahead with upright postures, displaying exceptional charisma. Because the marriage of Seong Hee-ju and Grand Prince I-an is expected to have a profound impact on the lives of Min Jung-woo and Yoon Yi-rang, attention is also focused on the relationships among the four.
Meanwhile, the poster is dotted with the unique beauty of Perfect Crown, capturing the eye. Bonsai, ceramics, glass lighting and door frames — objects that harmoniously blend tradition and modernity — further heighten anticipation for the royal scenery that will appear in the drama.
In this way, Perfect Crown foreshadows the diverse relationships and unpredictable narratives among Seong Hee-ju, Grand Prince I-an, Min Jung-woo and Yoon Yi-rang through a group poster that highlights their varied expressions and different thoughts. It raises curiosity about whether those who stand together bearing the weight of their given fates can achieve the goals they desire.
Set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in Korea, the MBC new Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, a status-breaking romance about a woman who has everything as a conglomerate heiress but is annoyed by being of commoner status and a man who is the king's son but sad because he can have nothing, will premiere at 9:40 p.m. on April 10.
