Byeon Wooseok Risks Life for IU in K-Drama

On the MBC drama "21st Century Grand Prince's Wife," aired on the 18th, Prince Ian (Byeon Woo-seok) sacrificed himself to save Sung Hee-joo's (IU) life.

Prince Ian and Sung Hee-joo acknowledged their relationship and made a public announcement, then visited a baseball stadium for a date. Min Jung-woo (No Sang-hyun), who was there to throw the ceremonial first pitch, was also present. Prince Ian, feeling jealous of Sung Hee-joo and Min Jung-woo's closeness, showed signs of rivalry.

Meanwhile, Sung Hee-joo went to the private residence to meet Lee Yoon (Kim Eun-ho), who wanted to avoid studying history. The two spent a pleasant time together. Lee Yoon wanted to ride in Sung Hee-joo's car, and with the help of Sung Hee-joo and Min Jung-woo, they eventually went on a night drive.

However, during the drive, Sung Hee-joo's car experienced brake failure. While driving dangerously on a bridge with little traffic, Sung Hee-joo tried to slow down by scraping the car's body. Prince Ian then blocked Sung Hee-joo's car with his own, saving her.

In the preview for next week, released at the end of the broadcast, Prince Ian was shown telling Sung Hee-joo that he wanted to call off their marriage after her life was threatened because of him. Seizing this opportunity, Min Jung-woo proposed marriage to Sung Hee-joo, heightening the tension. Viewers are keenly watching to see how Prince Ian's bloody sacrifice will affect the fate of the two.
