The 7th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'My Dearest Prince' will depict the wedding ceremony of Sung Hee-joo (played by IU) and Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok), marking the beginning of the second act of the romance for the 'completed' couple. Although their relationship began as a contract marriage for social advancement, they have developed deep feelings for each other while overcoming crises.

In particular, Sung Hee-joo's overwhelmed gaze as a new member of the royal family and Prince Ian's gaze full of excitement as he looks at her heighten anticipation, showcasing their genuine feelings beyond a contract marriage.

However, Prime Minister Min Jung-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun) and Dowager Queen Yoon-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon) watch the couple with stern expressions, creating tension. As they have shown opposition to Sung Hee-joo and Prince Ian's marriage, their reactions at the wedding ceremony, which should be filled with blessings, raise curiosity.

According to the Good Data Corporation's Fundex announcement, it ranked first in TV-OTT drama topicality for three consecutive weeks, and IU and Byeon Woo-seok swept the first and second places in cast topicality.
