IU and Byeon Woo-seok's '21st Century Grand Prince Couple' Photos Unveiled
Set to premiere on April 10, MBC's new weekend drama '21st Century Grand Princess' is set in a constitutional monarchy in South Korea. The drama tells the story of a wealthy woman frustrated by her commoner status and a prince who, despite his royal lineage, cannot have everything he desires. Together, they embark on a journey to challenge societal norms and find love.
In the drama, IU plays Seong Hee-joo, the CEO of Castle Beauty, who possesses beauty, talent, and wealth. However, she constantly faces the limitations of her commoner status in a society where noble authority is overwhelming.

The sudden announcement of marriage between Seong Hee-joo and Lee An-daegun sends shockwaves through the constitutional monarchy of 21st-century South Korea. As the unexpected union raises suspicions about their relationship, newly released photos offer a glimpse into their love story.
The evolving relationship between the two, from influential figures in the business and royal circles to newlyweds growing closer, adds to the excitement. The drama piques interest in the inevitable story that brings together a commoner heiress and a prince despite their social differences.
'21st Century Grand Princess' premieres on April 10 at 9:40 PM.
