IU and Byun Woo-seok are preparing for marriage.
MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama, ‘Perfect Crown,’ slated to premiere in the first half of 2026, has unveiled a special teaser video. The teaser hints at an extraordinary encounter between Seong Hee-joo (played by IU), a chaebol who possesses everything but noble status, and Yi Andae-gun (played by Byun Woo-seok), a prince not destined for the throne.
‘Perfect Crown’ is a romance drama set in a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in Korea. It chronicles the story of a wealthy woman, frustrated by her commoner status, and a prince who, despite being the king’s son, holds no power. IU and Byun Woo-seok previously showcased their exceptional chemistry as presenters at the ‘2025 MBC Drama Awards,’ further heightening anticipation.
The teaser highlights Seong Hee-joo’s bold pursuit of Yi Andae-gun. As the second child of a wealthy family, Hee-joo possesses immense wealth and capability but faces discrimination owing to her commoner and illegitimate status.
Yi Andae-gun, while the king’s son, poses a threat to the current monarch merely by his existence. He faces pressure to marry amid overt opposition from Queen Yun I-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon), who seeks to protect her young son.
A particularly surprising moment is Hee-joo’s unexpected marriage proposal to Andae-gun, aimed at elevating her social standing. While Andae-gun’s response is lukewarm, Hee-joo declares, “I missed you,” employing every possible means to win over his seemingly inaccessible heart.
The teaser reveals Hee-joo successfully sharing warm moments with Andae-gun, arousing viewers’ excitement. Finally, Andae-gun orders her to “prepare to become a grand duchess,” signaling the start of their captivating story.
Through this special teaser, ‘Perfect Crown’ intensifies curiosity about Hee-joo and Andae-gun’s daring romance, heralding the emergence of a perfect couple who possess wealth, capability, and status.
