IU & Byun Woo Seok's First Night Together After Marriage

In the 8th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'My Dearest Prince of the 21st Century,' Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) and Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok), now a married couple, begin their newlywed life by spending their first night together.

The released photos show the two lying side-by-side under one blanket, gazing at each other with alluring eyes, their hair still damp. Prince Ian appears calm, but Seong Hee-ju clutches the blanket tightly, showing signs of nervousness.

However, they soon embrace each other tightly and kiss, adding to the excitement. Unlike their past playful squabbles over the blanket, the affectionate atmosphere hints at their deepening feelings. Attention is now focused on whether they can enjoy a sweet newlywed life that makes the term "contract marriage" seem meaningless.

The production team of 'My Dearest Prince of the 21st Century' stated, "While Prince Ian has always been the one to approach first, this time Seong Hee-ju will also express her feelings, pushing the romance to its peak," and added, "Please look forward to a romantic night that will make viewers' hearts feel tender and warm."

'My Dearest Prince of the 21st Century' is a drama set in 21st-century South Korea, depicting a romance about a woman who has everything but is of commoner status and a man who is the king's son but has nothing, forging their own destinies. In the previous episode, Seong Hee-ju collapsed during the wedding ceremony, heightening the tension.
