IU and Byun Woo-seok will work together with romance in the constitutional monarchy Korea.
Kakao Entertainment announced that IU and Byun Woo-seok have confirmed their casting in MBC's new drama "21st Century Grand Prince Wife." The 21st century's "grandfather wife" is a 21st century constitutional monarchy in Korea. It depicts the romance of a man who is a chaebol with everything, but who is the son of a woman and a king who is annoyed because he is a "common man" but sad because he cannot have anything.
IU plays the second role of "Sung Hee-joo" of the No. 1 conglomerate in the business world, who was born with a golden spoon and has a brilliant beauty, intelligence, and a terrible desire to win. The commoner status, which he thought was no big deal, became an obstacle to his life, and he became involved with Prince Ian. Expectations are rising for IU, who has shown solid acting skills across genres such as intimate and delicate emotions and suctionable eyes through "My Mister," "Hotel Del Luna" and "Broker," to portray "Sung Hee-joo" in her work in an attractive way.
Byun Woo-seok plays the 21st century constitutional monarchy as the 'Iandaegun' of Korea. Born as the king's second son, he is destined to have nothing but royalty, and he, who has always hidden himself, meets Sung Hee-joo and changes begin. Attention is focusing on how Byun Woo-seok, who shook the hearts of fans around the world by showing a fresh youth romance with "Bounce on Sunjae," will transform into a modern royal this time.
Attention is already focused on IU and Byun Woo-seok's fresh and exciting romance.
MBC's new drama "The Grand Prince's Wife in the 21st Century" is scheduled to air in the second half of 2025.
