"Perfect Crown" Byeon Woo-seok risked his own body to save IU's life — can the two race to marriage at breakneck speed?
IU and Byeon Woo-seok are turning crisis into opportunity and speeding toward marriage.
In MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Perfect Crown" (writer Yoo Ji-won / directors Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young / planner Kang Dae-seon / produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment), the "complete" couple Seong Hee-ju (IU) and IAAN Daegun (Byeon Woo-seok) join forces against the world's opposition as they rush toward a successful contract marriage. At the same time, threats against the two have been forecast, and Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun's knack for turning misfortune into opportunity has captured attention.
After Seong Hee-ju proposed a contract marriage to IAAN Daegun, the two happened to run into each other at the same hotel. When photos of Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun entering the hotel were taken and dating rumors were reported, public attention began to focus on them. Moreover, a sudden visit from queen dowager Yun I-rang (Gong Seung-yeon) exposed the two together, and when IAAN Daegun accepted Seong Hee-ju's proposal, the two became allies.
Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun used the public's attention on them, tightly held hands and entered the palace, loudly announcing their relationship. It was an important moment that opened the way for their contract marriage plan against queen dowager Yun I-rang and the powerful in-laws who sought to check IAAN Daegun.
Yun I-rang also continued her attacks, accusing Seong Hee-ju of being the culprit in the fire that broke out during the king's birthday celebration, but Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun's momentum did not abate. When everyone present heard queen dowager Yun I-rang say she would tarnish Seong Hee-ju, rumors spread that Yun I-rang was persecuting Seong Hee-ju. Added to this was the stormy acting of Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun, which helped form public support for them.
When IAAN Daegun noticed the presence of paparazzi and boldly showed physical affection to Seong Hee-ju, it caused a huge stir, making them the first royal couple to officially acknowledge their relationship. Seong Hee-ju's enjoyment of attention and IAAN Daegun's competitive spirit created a synergy that focused all eyes on their every move and became a shield against the forces trying to check IAAN Daegun.
However, anxiety is rising as Yun I-rang's father, deputy chief Yun Seong-won (Jo Jae-yoon), hinted he would take action, mentioning the many enemies surrounding Seong Hee-ju. Above all, Seong Hee-ju had previously faced a traffic accident while enjoying a drive at King Lee Yoon's (Kim Eun ho) request; although IAAN Daegun's quick thinking helped them avoid the crisis, it remains to be seen what variables this traffic accident might introduce between the two.
Thus Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun are displaying perfect chemistry, turning the opposition's checks into opportunities to make their contract marriage succeed. Although the marriage has not yet been finalized, as they overcome crises their feelings for each other gradually deepen, making the question of whether Seong Hee-ju and IAAN Daegun's actions are acting or genuine a focus of attention.
Episode 5 of "Perfect Crown" will air on the 24th at 9:50 p.m., and interest is growing over when the ratings, soaring now, will surpass 15%.
