Byeon Woo Seok Captures Hearts in Just 2 Episodes

In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'The Grand Prince of the 21st Century,' Byeon Woo-seok, playing the role of Grand Prince Ian, took over the ending by announcing the start of a full-fledged contract marriage.

In the broadcast on the 11th, Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok) received active advances from Seong Hee-ju (played by IU), but he had previously firmly rejected her marriage proposal. Even after that, Grand Prince Ian consistently pushed away Seong Hee-ju, who approached him at the riding stable, Korean restaurant, on the road, and at the movie theater, saying, "I missed you."

However, the plot took a sudden turn due to an unexpected scandal. Seong Hee-ju learned of Grand Prince Ian's health issues and entered his hotel room, and a scandal erupted when she was seen calling a doctor. Grand Prince Ian apologized to Seong Hee-ju for the controversy caused by him and asked what she wanted, leading to an ending where he decided on a contract marriage, saying, "​Prepare yourself to become the Grand Prince's wife. Your opponent will be this entire nation."

Byeon Woo-seok, taking on the role of Grand Prince Ian, who possesses decisiveness and execution, convincingly portrayed responsibility and charisma as the central figure of the drama. He showed a reliable and warm side to his young nephew as the King of Korea, and then made the bold choice to directly decide on marriage when Seong Hee-ju became embroiled in a scandal because of him, completing a multi-dimensional character. In particular, Byeon Woo-seok's appearance at the end of the drama, revealing Grand Prince Ian's decisiveness and charisma with unwavering eyes, sent shivers down viewers' spines and elicited a heated response.

Grand Prince Ian, who has embarked on a contract marriage with Seong Hee-ju, is leading the rapid development of the drama 'The Grand Prince of the 21st Century,' starring Byeon Woo-seok in the central role. The drama airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM on MBC.
