MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama 「21st Century Grand Prince」 (planned by Kang Dae-seon, scripted by Yoo Ah-in, director Park Joon-hwa, produced by MBC and Kakao Entertainment) is a romance that breaks down the fate of Prince Lee, a man who is a chaebol with everything against the backdrop of the 21st century constitutional monarchy in Korea, but who is annoying because his status is a commoner and a son of a king, but is sad because he can't have anything.
'21st Century Grand Prince Lady' was selected with overwhelming support from the judges in the 2022 MBC Drama Playbook Contest, and both male and female characters are progressive and attractive, and the solid story from the strong desires of the main characters to romance has been praised for its dramatic fun. After developing MBC's drama planning know-how for about three years after being elected, actors IU, Byun Woo-suk, Noh Sang-hyun, and Gong Seung-yeon joined the production together, emerging as the best anticipated film of 2026.
IU plays Sung Hee-joo, the second son of a chaebol family, who is a talented manager with outstanding beauty, intelligence, and competitive desire to win. Sung Hee-joo, who will be presented by IU, who is a top singer-songwriter and has established a solid position as an actor with excellent character digestibility and solid acting skills, is a bold character who chooses to marry Lee Wan (Byeon Woo-seok) in order to gain the only thing he does not have. Sung Hee-joo faces a turning point in her life when she meets Prince Ian, who is in a similar situation to her, but has lived with different choices.
Byun Woo-suk plays the sad Prince Ian 'Ewan' because he can't have anything but his royal status. He has lived a fiery mind as the second son of the royal family, who is not allowed to shine or make sounds, but he is considered one of the 'people's most beloved royalty' due to his natural dignity and charm. He, who was always used to hiding himself, undergoes a new inner change when he meets a different 'Sung Hee-joo' as if he were the same as him as his partner in a contract marriage.
Byeon Woo-seok, who captivated fans around the world with his exciting romance through his previous work Bounce With Sunjae, is turning into a modern-day royal this time, attracting expectations on how he will portray Prince Ian, a cold and hot prince.
