'Perfect Crown' star IU makes the life-defining decision to protect the man she loves, Byeon Woo-seok: kneeling before her father, Cho Seung-yeon, who was her pride and only wall.
Today (the 8th) at 9:50 p.m., episode 9 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown (written by Yoo Ji-won / directed by Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young) will air, and a scene was captured of Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) fighting desperately to protect Grand Prince IAAN (played by Byeon Woo-seok) amid the life-or-death crisis of the premarital contract leak.
Earlier, Seong Hee-joo endured fiercely to overcome the congenital limit of being the extramarital child of Castle Group chairman Seong Hyun-guk (played by Cho Seung-yeon) and to have her abilities recognized. But her relationship with her father always ran on parallel lines, and she was often hurt by his cold recognition.
But this time is different. When the premarital contract with Grand Prince IAAN was leaked and his position and safety were threatened, Hee-joo decided to tear down every wall she had built for herself. In the released stills, Hee-joo goes to the family home, kneels before her father and cries pitifully, making viewers' hearts ache. For the first time in her life, she bowed her head to her father solely with the determination to protect Byeon Woo-seok.
Hee-joo's sudden action chills the atmosphere at the family home. Not only does chairman Seong Hyun-guk show a cold expression, but brother Seong Tae-ju (played by Lee Jae Won) and sister-in-law Han Da-young (played by Chae Seo-an) also cannot hide their bewilderment at Hee-joo's unexpected, desperate plea.
In particular, the subtle paternal affection that Seong Hyun-guk, who had ignored his daughter's achievements, had shown toward a daughter entering the unfamiliar palace alone becomes a point of interest in how it will act as a variable in this crisis. Tension heightens over whether the father, seeing his daughter's tearful eyes full of resolve, will become a strong ally protecting the prince or will stab her with another dagger.
The production team said that as Seong Hee-joo's feelings toward Grand Prince IAAN deepen, her actions will become bolder and more sacrificial, and asked viewers to look forward to IU's overwhelming emotional acting that spares no risk to protect someone more precious than her pride.<
