"Team Castle Beauty" and "Team Ian Daegun," which are united with faith and loyalty, herald a fantastic teamwork.
MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "21st Century Grand Duchess" (script Yoo Ji-won/director Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young/projected Kang Dae-sun/produced MBC, Kakao Entertainment) is a drama about a romance that breaks down the fate of a woman and a king who have everything against the backdrop of the 21st century constitutional monarchy.
In the play, Castle Beauty CEO Sung Hee-joo (IU) and senior secretary Do Hye-jeong (Lee Yeon) are soul partners who are running together toward the top of the industry. Do Hye-jeong, who has been giving praise and nagging for Sung Hee-joo, who wants people's attention, is reluctant to marry royal Ian Dae-gun (Byeon Woo-seok) and actively support Sung Hee-joo's brilliant idea of raising her status.
If Sung Hee-joo has a soul partner Do Hye-jeong, Lee Il-dae has an aide Choi Hyun (Yoo Soo-bin), who is stronger than blood. Although he often nags about Prince Ian, Choi Hyun's heart for Prince Ian is hotter than flames. As a result, Choi Hyun's loyalty to Prince Ian burns strongly as he suffers threats by choosing to marry against the royal family.


While the relationship between Sung Hee-joo and Do Hye-jung, and Prince Ian and Choi Hyun is also gaining interest, the four actors who will meet as "Team Castle Beauty" and "Team Ian" confess about each other's teamwork through a production presentation, raising expectations.
First, IU said, "I was always a fan of actor Lee Yeon and said I wanted to do the same work, but like the name, 'Yeon' came to me. In the field, I prepared so much that I thought I had been led by actor Lee Yeon, and I had many interesting ideas," he said, expressing his affection. Lee Yeon also said, "I was a fan of IU actors and I acted as a secretary with that heart, so I had no difficulty immersing myself. I learned a lot during the shooting and it was fun," he said, giving a guess to the warm filming atmosphere.
Yoo Soo-bin then said of his chemistry with Byun Woo-seok, "It was really fantastic. Actor Byun Woo-seok is a really good person as a human being and an actor, so while filming, I actually became affectionate. While acting, I felt like we could feel each other's feelings well," he said, expressing his strong trust. Byun Woo-seok also said, "I felt the same way. While acting, my heart for Choi Hyun became even higher. I'm so happy because (I and Yoo Soo-bin) feel the same way," he said, expressing satisfaction, making him curious about the bromance between the two actors.
As such, the "21st Century Grand Prince Lady" will be reborn as a relational restaurant, including the romance between Sung Hee-joo and Prince Ian, Sung Hee-joo, Do Hye-jeong's Womance, and Prince Ian and Choi Hyun's bromance. As such, attention is drawn to the synergy of actors who will portray the tangled relationship of the characters.
