"Perfect Crown" IU and Byeon Woo-seok directly revealed the drama's memorable scenes and lines.
IU and Byeon Woo-seok picked their favorite scenes and lines of their characters in "Perfect Crown," adding to the drama's lingering impact.
MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Perfect Crown" (written by Yoo Ji-won / directed by Park Jun-hwa, Bae Hee-young / planned by Kang Dae-seon / produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment) has captivated domestic and international viewers with the deep romance between Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) and Lord Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok), showcasing the strength of K-drama to the world. In particular, as Seong Hee-ju and Lord Ian's feelings become mutual and each episode delivers deep immersion, the favorite scenes and lines chosen by IU and Byeon Woo-seok are provoking a desire to binge-watch.
First, IU, who delivers a powerful "Seong crush" (a blend of Seong Hee-ju and girl crush) as Seong Hee-ju, chose Seong Hee-ju's line in episode 5, "This is how you protect. By attacking, while attacking," as her favorite. She added, "It's a scene where you can glimpse Hee-ju's tough, competitive side, and if I had been Lord Ian, I think I would have fallen for Hee-ju at that moment."
In the drama, Seong Hee-ju, limited by her commoner and illegitimate birth, had to fight harder than others to get what she wanted. Her effort to marry Lord Ian also met opposition from people, but she ultimately achieved her goal and showed proactive moves. Seong Hee-ju's strong and bold side kindled a small spark in Lord Ian's heart, and as partners moving toward the same goal rather than a marriage-of-convenience partner, the two's future became even more anticipated.
Byeon Woo-seok, who plays Lord Ian and is causing an "Ian Lord holic" craze across borders, chose the scene in episode 10 where Lord Ian cries alone. He explained the reason for choosing this scene: "Even while going through such painful moments, he couldn't tell anyone and silently bears everything alone in an empty space; those aspects felt very much like Lord Ian."
When Seong Hee-ju and Lord Ian's marriage contract was leaked, people including Dae-bi Yoon I-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon) and the Jongchinbu poured criticisms on the two. In the end, Seong Hee-ju demanded a divorce for Lord Ian, and Lord Ian, overwhelmed by the powerlessness of not being able to protect the woman he loved, broke down in tears he had held back in a place where no one was. Even amid the hardship, the silent cry of Lord Ian, who must swallow his emotions because he is royalty, amplified the sorrow.
Thus, in "Perfect Crown," Seong Hee-ju and Lord Ian endure the weight of fate given to them, transcend their limits, and carve out the path they will walk. Among these, the lines and scenes that depict the two meeting, loving and overcoming wounds move viewers' hearts, and attention is focusing on the romantic ending page of Seong Hee-ju and Lord Ian, which is building to a climax.
The final chapters of the destiny-defying, status-forging romance being written by IU and Byeon Woo-seok will unfold on MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Perfect Crown," with episode 11 airing on the 15th (Fri.) at 9:50 p.m. and the final episode airing on the 16th (Sat.) at 9:40 p.m.
Earlier, "Perfect Crown" recorded its highest rating when episode 10, broadcast on the 9th, scored 13.3%. After lingering in the 10%–11% range, the drama staged an exciting development as IU and Byeon Woo-seok's passionate kissing scene, Prime Minister Min Chong-ri's Noh Sang Hyun turning dark, and succession events poured out. As a result, it exceeded 13% for the first time, and with only the final two broadcasts of this week remaining, interest is growing in whether it will break the 15% mark and set an even higher record.
Meanwhile, director Park Jun-hwa of "Perfect Crown" will hold an interview on the 19th to commemorate the drama's end, but it is known that leading actors IU and Byeon Woo-seok will not participate in interviews. <
