"Perfect Crown" IU and Byeon Woo-seok's scandal shakes Korea.
The new MBC Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, which premieres on the 10th at 9:40 p.m. (written by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Joon-hwa and Bae Hee-young), has released a Highlight video announcing the tumultuous contract marriage journey of Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Iaan (played by Byeon Woo-seok), raising expectations.
The released Highlight video contains the process leading up to the contract marriage between chaebol Seong Hee-joo, who has everything except status, and Grand Prince Iaan, the second son of the royal family who can have nothing except his status. Chaebol Seong Hee-joo, who is repeatedly the target of gossip for being a commoner born of a concubine, comes up with a bold idea to marry the royal Grand Prince Iaan to escape the shackles of her status.
Grand Prince Iaan faces suspicion that he is coveting the young king's throne and is being pressured to marry by queen dowager Yoon I-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon). Around that time, Seong Hee-joo's request for an audience reaches Grand Prince Iaan, and when Seong Hee-joo meets him she bluntly asks for marriage, saying she wants to rise in status.
However, because Seong Hee-joo is a commoner born of a concubine and because of Grand Prince Iaan's position within the royal family, their marriage meets opposition. The prime minister and close friend of Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Iaan, Min Jung-woo (played by Noh Sang Hyun), as well as queen dowager Yoon I-rang, members of the royal clan, and the public show unfavorable reactions, making the journey to marriage expectedly difficult.
As public opposition and the royal order constrain the two, threats aimed at Seong Hee-joo further heighten the tension. Nevertheless, Seong Hee-joo does not yield and enjoys bold escapades with Grand Prince Iaan, while Grand Prince Iaan naturally treats Seong Hee-joo like a lover and shows steadfast affection.
In particular, Seong Hee-joo's cheer "Don't flinch, don't step back and don't give in" and Grand Prince Iaan's words "For you" contain the sincere feelings the two have for each other. Against the world's opposition and strict rules, Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Iaan's unwavering romance, which will be a strong support for each other, is even more anticipated.
Thus, the Highlight video of "Perfect Crown" teases the fantastic couple chemistry of Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Iaan, who want to break through the walls blocking their path through a contract marriage, drawing anticipation.
