Looking at the hot topics in "Grand Duchess of the 21st Century," the relationship between IU and Byun Woo-seok comes into view.

In MBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "21st Century Grand Duchess" (script by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Jun-hwa and Bae Hee-young, planned by Kang Dae-seon, produced by MBC and Kakao Entertainment), a series of events unfold without respite, ranging from the shocking scandal between a chaebol and a grand duke to a fire that broke out during the king's birthday celebration. To enjoy episodes 3 and 4 even more, we take a closer look at the incidents and accidents that occurred in episodes 1 and 2.

First, the incidents and accidents that occurred at the King's birthday celebration have sparked curiosity. Not only did Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok), the current king's uncle, make a spectacle by attending the banquet in a traditional Korean robe instead of formal court attire, but a sudden fire also broke out during the event, plunging the palace into chaos.

Fortunately, no one at the event was injured, so Prince Lee An and Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun) are quietly managing the situation and investigating the details of the incident in secret. Given that the previous king's death was also caused by a fire, and that Consort Yoon I-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon) posed a significant question to Prince Lee An, "Are you trying to kill this Na Ra (왕) again?", curiosity grows over the full truth behind the fire incident.

Attention is also focused on the secret meeting between Castle Beauty CEO Seong Hee-ju and royal family member Prince Lee An. Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An were seniors and juniors at a royal school and had faced each other during a past archery competition. In particular, when Prince Lee An encountered Seong Hee-ju at the Danil-yeon site, he addressed her as "junior," suggesting that the two remember each other.

Seong Hee-ju also recalled this and requested an audience with Prince Lee An, asking for the advice of a senior as a junior, which led to a meeting between the two as alumni of the Royal School. Upon meeting Prince Lee An, Seong Hee-ju immediately presented her marriage proposal without hesitation, and after much deliberation, Prince Lee An accepted her proposal, drawing significant attention to the future of the two.

Alongside this, a sensational article revealing that Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An enjoyed a secret rendezvous at the same hotel left everyone stunned. Compounding the misunderstanding, it was reported that when Princess Yoon I-rang visited Prince Lee An's hotel room last night, she found him alone with Seong Hee-ju in disheveled attire.

Nevertheless, Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo is dismissing this scandal as a mere incident, while Deputy Yoon I-rang is plotting to exploit the scandal to marry Prince Lee An to a partner of his choosing. This has sparked growing curiosity about what impact the sensational and unprecedented scandal will have on Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An.
