Perfect Crown Byeon Woo-seok properly opened constitutional monarchy of the 21st century.
On the 10th, the first broadcast of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown (directed by Park Jun-hwa, written by Yoo Ji-won) is a status-breaking romance set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy Korea about a chaebol who has everything but whose status is merely commoner, an exasperating woman, and the king's son who has nothing and a sad man who forges his own destiny. Byeon Woo-seok plays the role of Grand Prince Ian, the late king's only younger brother, who must shine yet cannot speak out as the royal family's second son.
In the first broadcast, Byeon Woo-seok's Grand Prince Ian was dignity itself. When news of the king's birthday banquet arrived, Grand Prince Ian (Byeon Woo-seok) appeared in the banquet hall and his mere presence changed the atmosphere in an instant. To Yoon I-rang (Gong Seung-yeon), who seemed displeased with Grand Prince Ian's attire, he said, "Save the lecture for later; if I sit, won't they sit too?" and resolved the situation. His appearance instantly imprinted on viewers the image of Grand Prince Ian acting as regent merely by appearing. On the day of the birthday banquet a fire also broke out in the palace. Faced with Yoon I-rang, who apologized for slapping Grand Prince Ian due to trauma and pressured him for a wedding, he remained cold and consistent, heightening the tension.
Meanwhile, outside his official duties Grand Prince Ian drew attention with a more humane side. That was true when he overlooked Seong Hee-ju's (IU) rudeness after she trespassed into the national archery range in the past, and it was also true when he asked the name and affiliation of Seong Hee-ju, who was wandering in the palace, and said, "For the junior's sake, can I not do that much?" and turned a blind eye. Especially at the end of the episode, after repeatedly refusing Seong Hee-ju's request for an audience, Grand Prince Ian allowed an audience as a "senior" and was surprised by a marriage proposal, unfolding an unpredictable development.
At the center of Perfect Crown, Byeon Woo-seok, who opened the 21st-century constitutional monarchy, completely shed his previous work. With an aura and innate dignity befitting the epithet "beloved by the people," he truly became Grand Prince Ian himself. In black robes with a long gun and especially when he appeared in a cheolik at the birthday banquet, Byeon Woo-seok overwhelmed the atmosphere with each step and look, bringing that energy intact to viewers' living rooms and allowing them to feel Grand Prince Ian's aura. Fully assimilated into Grand Prince Ian, Byeon Woo-seok persuaded viewers of the unfamiliar world of constitutional monarchy and served as an amplifier that immersed viewers in Perfect Crown's world, making the development even more anticipated.
Meanwhile, Byeon Woo-seok, who perfectly embodied the "beloved by the people" Grand Prince Ian and opened the constitutional monarchy world, appears in the drama Perfect Crown, which airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:40 p.m. on MBC.
