IU and Byun Woo-seok in '21st Century Grand Duchess' will have their first love fight.
In the fifth episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' (script by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Jun-hwa, Bae Hee-young), airing on the 24th, a scene capturing the first love fight between Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) and Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok), who seemed to be deepening their sweet romance, draws attention.
After agreeing to pursue a contract marriage, Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An have shown themselves as a well-matched pair with a phantom chemistry. Using their convincing 'lover' performance as a shield to withstand opposition from rival forces and shape public opinion in their favor, they have also grown to genuinely worry about and care for each other beyond acting, adding to their excitement.
As time spent together lengthens, barriers between Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An are gradually breaking down, and natural clashes of opinion are expected to occur. In the released photos, the sweet and romantic mood between Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An sitting face-to-face is nowhere to be found; only a cold atmosphere lingers, and they gaze at each other with stern expressions, heightening the tension.
Even a scene where Seong Hee-ju aims an arrow at Prince Lee An is included, hinting at the seriousness of the situation. The sight of Prince Lee An, who seems to be urgently trying to stop Seong Hee-ju's impulsive actions, and Seong Hee-ju, who gazes at Prince Lee An with unwavering eyes despite that, sparks curiosity about why the once harmonious couple is now clashing so fiercely.
The relationship between Seong Hee-ju and Prince Lee An is expected to become even stronger through this conflict. Especially, a single word from Seong Hee-ju directed at Prince Lee An, who had to step back even from a fight he was destined to win, stirs the competitive spirit that has taken root in Prince Lee An's heart, making the outcome of their love fight a subject of keen interest.
Meanwhile, the fifth episode of '21st Century Grand Duchess' will air at 9:50 p.m. on the 24th.
