Actor Byeon Woo-seok is winning the love of female fans with a variety of looks in Perfect Crown, from the charismatic Lord Iaan to his romance with IU.
In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown (written by Yoo Ji-won / directed by Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young / planned by Kang Dae-sun / produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment), Byeon Woo-seok plays the role of Lord Iaan, captivating viewers with his multifaceted portrayals. With the main romance set to fully ripen in episodes 5 and 6, we looked at the various charms of Lord Iaan that are thrilling not only viewers but also his arranged-marriage partner Seong Hee-ju (IU), whose heart he is making flutter.
Charm point 1. remarkable from his first appearance! innate dignity and charisma overwhelm all around!
First, Lord Iaan's dignity and charisma grab attention. At the birthday banquet his very appearance overwhelmed everyone and left a strong first impression; he delivered a satisfying comeuppance to those who tried to belittle his young nephew, including aides who looked down on the child, and to those who used their authority to steamroll others. Despite the wary gazes of many, Lord Iaan's brave actions—willingly stepping forward to protect his people—suggested his inherent grace and upright character.
Charm point 2. meticulousness and warmth hidden behind a cool gaze! warm touches amplify the feeling!
The kindness of Lord Iaan, hidden behind his cool gaze, adds both warmth and excitement. He showed consideration for Seong Hee-ju, who would be embarrassed by the scandal with him, and, troubled by a scream heard over the phone, he postponed pressing matters to go to Seong Hee-ju's home; he also worried whether she was hurt after hearing she had been pelted with eggs. In particular, he showed careful consideration by saying "someone who might become my wife in the future" and allowing Seong Hee-ju to stay at his residence. Moreover, he willingly stepped in for his nephew, who had shouldered more than he could bear at a young age, suggesting Lord Iaan's deep affection for him. Lord Iaan's warmth in caring for and cherishing important people warmed viewers' hearts as well.
Charm point 3. is that acting or real? the straight-forward moves of a lord in love! thrilling departures heighten the excitement!
Lord Iaan's change after accepting Seong Hee-ju's arranged-marriage proposal made for an interesting development. Boldly appearing hand in hand with Seong Hee-ju in front of onlookers, Lord Iaan noticed the cameras and kissed her first; when Seong Hee-ju was in danger, he did not hesitate to throw himself to save her. Among those moments, during a baseball stadium date when their kiss was caught on the kiss-time scoreboard, his provoking smile as he asked "shall we speed things up a bit?" felt less like acting for an arranged marriage and more like someone truly in love, foreshadowing Lord Iaan's daring departures to come and sending hearts racing.
Charm point 4. behind the lordly exterior, a bit clumsy? his human side brings full-on laughter!
Lord Iaan's human side, which had seemed impeccably proper, also emerged and drew attention. When mountains of work piled up, he despaired, and at the suggestion by chief court lady Choi Jin-sook (Park Joon Myun) to take charge of Seong Hee-ju's education, he secretly and vehemently opposed it with Chief of Staff Yu Su-bin, prompting laughter. In scenes where they rescue Seong Hee-ju, who became the target of Queen Dowager Yoon I-rang (Gong Seung-yeon), Lord Iaan's wit shone through as he displayed perfect chemistry not only with Yu Su-bin but also with Seong Hee-ju's chief secretary Do Hye-jung (Lee Yeon). His unpretentious actions as a person behind the title of lord further amplify Lord Iaan's charm.
Thus, Lord Iaan is captivating viewers with numerous charms, including the dignity of a lord, a gentle nature, and endearing humanity. Byeon Woo-seok's passionate performance, which has been absorbed into the Lord Iaan character, is also shining, and expectations are high for Byeon Woo-seok's next activities as he portrays Lord Iaan's transformation after starting the romance.<
