Fans of IU and Byeon Woo Seok have reason to celebrate! The duo has been confirmed to star in the new romantic MBC drama, tentatively titled Wife of a 21st Century Prince. Scheduled for release in the second half of 2025, the announcement by Kakao Entertainment has already sparked excitement among K-drama enthusiasts.
Wife of a 21st Century Prince is set in an alternate constitutional monarchy in Korea, delivering a narrative filled with striking contrasts. The story follows Sung Hee Joo (IU), the ambitious heiress of one of the country’s largest conglomerates, and Lee Ahn (Byeon Woo Seok), the king’s second son. Despite their differing backgrounds, their lives become intricately intertwined in unexpected ways.
IU will portray Sung Hee Joo, the ambitious second daughter of a powerful chaebol family. Known for her intelligence, beauty, and fierce competitiveness, Hee Joo appears to have a perfect life. However, her status as a commoner begins to interfere with her ambitions, leading her to cross paths with Prince Lee Ahn.
Byeon Woo Seok, praised for his remarkable performance in Lovely Runner, will take on the role of Lee Ahn. As the king’s second son, Lee Ahn lives with few privileges despite his royal lineage. Having concealed his true identity for most of his life, his encounter with Sung Hee Joo triggers pivotal changes in his journey.
This drama promises to delve into themes of class, identity, and romance within a modern-day monarchical setting. With a compelling narrative and top-tier production, Wife of a 21st Century Prince is already shaping up to be one of 2025’s most anticipated releases. The creative team aims to craft an innovative and captivating story for viewers.
The on-screen pairing of IU and Byeon Woo Seok has fans buzzing with excitement. With such renowned talents leading the cast, Wife of a 21st Century Prince has all the ingredients to be a major hit. Stay tuned for more updates on this heartwarming royal romance!
