MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Prince Lady' (played by Yoo Ah-in, directed by Park Jun-hwa) is a romance between Sung Hee-joo (IU), a woman who has everything against the backdrop of the 21st century's constitutional monarchy Korea, and a woman whose status is annoying because she is a commoner, and Lee An-daegun (Byeon Woo-seok), a son of a king, who is sad because he can't have anything.
The meeting between all-rounder actor IU (played by Sung Hee-joo) and Byun Woo-seok (played by Lee An-daegun) is considered one of the best anticipated works of 2026. They will portray Sung Hee-joo, the second son of a chaebol family who has everything except their status, and Prince Ian, a royal who has nothing but status, to portray a different romance against their status and fate.
While the chemistry between the two, which is as beautiful as a picture, is expected, a preview photo showing the visual combination of Sung Hee-joo and Lee An-dae has been released, drawing attention. First, Sung Hee-joo catches people's attention with her intense presence and elegant charisma in the pouring spotlight. It perfectly digests from red suits to colorful patterned dresses, revealing the dignity of the second generation of chaebol with even beauty, intelligence and ability.
On the other hand, Iandaegun shows off its beautiful appearance against the backdrop of hanok with an antique atmosphere. The dignity and uprightness of the noble royal family can be felt by the calm color and simple design suits alone, which are worthy of the modifier 「The people's most loved royal family」.
In particular, the two people, who are completely opposite in their dress style and way of treating people, are also seen standing side by side, drawing attention. Sung Hee-joo makes a strange face as she looks at Prince Ian asking for an escort, making the relationship between the two even more curious.
As such, Sung Hee-joo and Prince Ian, who are realizing the eye welfare of the Korean people with just preview photos, each have a contract marriage for their goals, heralding the birth of a perfect couple with both financial and status.
On the other hand, '21st Century Grand Prince Lady' is the work of Yoo Ah-in, who was elected with overwhelming support from the judges in the MBC drama script contest, which produced outstanding works such as 'Black Sun' and 'This intimate traitor'. Director Park Jun-hwa, who showed a trendy visual beauty with various works such as 'Let's Eat' series, 'Let's Eat','What's Wrong with Secretary Kim','Welcome', will direct it, and MBC and Kakao Entertainment will co-produce it. This has completed a golden combination of a solid production team and leading actors who have no choice but to wait for the first broadcast.
MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' will premiere in the first half of 2026, where the romance between chaebol IU and Daegun Byun Woo-seok's destiny pioneering status will be broken under the constitutional monarchy of the 21st century.
