IU's 21st Century Royal Wife Knee

IU kneels before her father, Jo Seung-yeon. In the 9th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '19th Century Grand Prince's Wife,' Sung Hee-joo (played by IU) is shown sacrificing her pride to clean up the prenuptial agreement leak and protect Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok).

Sung Hee-joo, as the illegitimate child of Castle Group Chairman Sung Hyun-gook (played by Jo Seung-yeon), had strived for her family's recognition, but her father, Sung Hyun-gook, did not acknowledge her achievements, leading their father-daughter relationship to a breaking point. However, as the situation worsened with the leak of her prenuptial agreement with Grand Prince Ian, Sung Hee-joo asks her father for help for the first time in her life to protect Grand Prince Ian. In the released photos, Sung Hee-joo visits her family home, kneels before her father, and sheds tears.

Sung Hyun-gook, her older brother Sung Tae-joo (played by Lee Jae-won), and his wife Han Da-young (played by Chae Seo-an) are visibly surprised by Sung Hee-joo's unexpected actions. Sung Hyun-gook had previously expressed concern about his daughter entering the palace, so attention is focused on how he will react to his daughter's plea this time. IU's tearful struggle to protect Byeon Woo-seok will continue in the 9th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '19th Century Grand Prince's Wife,' airing today (8th) at 9:50 PM.

MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '19th Century Grand Prince's Wife' is a work that cleverly twists the romance between a second-generation chaebol and royalty by borrowing the fantasy setting of a constitutional monarchy. It is currently securing the most solid public appeal in the drama scene, settling in the 10% viewership rating range and recording the No. 1 spot on the buzzworthy index for four consecutive weeks. IU and Byeon Woo-seok exert a magical influence, making the potentially unrealistic setting a compelling narrative, while the solid cast of main and supporting actors and the stylishly varied clichés provide non-stop entertainment.

Meanwhile, in '19th Century Grand Prince's Wife' aired on the 24th, Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok) overcame his trauma and reached out to Sung Hee-joo (played by IU) again, overcoming the crisis of a broken engagement. Grand Prince Ian was injured while preventing the tampering of Sung Hee-joo's car brakes, but he had declared a broken engagement due to past trauma and misunderstanding. However, after Sung Hee-joo's sharp words made him realize his true feelings, he began to mend their relationship, and the two reunited with unconventional actions that broke customs at the Naejinyeon. The preview at the end of the episode showed Grand Prince Ian, dressed in a uniform, kneeling before Sung Hee-joo and offering her a ring, formally proposing, raising expectations.
