The romance between Lee An-Gun (played by Byun Woo-seok) and Seong Hee-Joo (played by IU) takes center stage in '21st Century Grand Prince'.

In the third episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Prince', aired on the 17th, Lee An-Gun finally accepts Seong Hee-Joo's proposal for a contract marriage.

Lee An-Gun declared, "Prepare to become the Grand Princess. Your partner will be the entire nation," as he accepted the proposal. He further challenged, "Let's see your skills, junior. Start by swaying public opinion. The royal family will remain silent," marking the beginning of their marriage alliance.

However, their journey was not without obstacles. Seong Hee-Joo faced public backlash, including an egg attack, due to a sudden scandal. Meanwhile, Queen Dowager Yoon Yi-Rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon) accused her of being responsible for a fire incident, adding to the tension.

In a bold move to protect Seong Hee-Joo, Lee An-Gun stated, "Investigate me as well. You know that all suspicions against her apply to me too," showcasing his unwavering support.

The highlight was a late-night rendezvous between the two. Concerned about Lee An-Gun's insomnia, Seong Hee-Joo brought him tea and magnesium, causing a subtle change in the usually stoic prince's demeanor.

In an unexpected moment, Lee An-Gun gently touched Seong Hee-Joo's face and, when asked "What are you doing?", he simply replied "Quietly," before surprising her with a kiss. This 'surprise first kiss' was so intense that it blurred the lines of their 'pretend romance', leaving viewers eager to see how their relationship will develop.
