The industry's top hot celebrity chaebol IU and the nation's beloved royal Byeon Woo-seok will have a special meeting.
MBC's new Fri-Sat drama Perfect Crown, which made Time's list of "the most anticipated Korean dramas of 2026," opens its first episode with the nation's famous figures all gathering to celebrate the king's birthday (誕日), and the face-to-face meeting between chaebol Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and royal Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok) is arranged.
In the story, Castle Beauty CEO Seong Hee-joo, despite being of commoner status and born out of wedlock, enters the king's birthday banquet for the first time. Seeking to imprint her presence through the big event of the birthday banquet, Seong Hee-joo breaks the royal taboo against wearing red in the palace and chooses a bold red suit, drawing the attention of people including Grand Prince Ian.
The released photos show Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Ian meeting at the king's birthday banquet. While the banquet's highlight, the falling-flower fireworks display, is underway, Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Ian's gazes accidentally meet, leaving viewers curious about what each of them might be thinking as they watch the falling-flower display.
Like the beautiful falling-flower display, various events that will stir Seong Hee-joo's and Grand Prince Ian's hearts are previewed at the king's birthday banquet, increasing anticipation. As a result, the splendid festival that will ignite sparks in Seong Hee-joo's and Grand Prince Ian's hearts is all the more eagerly awaited.
MBC's new Fri-Sat drama Perfect Crown, in which the meeting between chaebol IU and Grand Prince Byeon Woo-seok—more beautiful than the falling-flower display—will take place, premieres tonight (the 10th) at 9:40 p.m.
