In episodes 7 and 8 of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' (script by Yoo Ji-won / directed by Park Jun-hwa, Bae Hee-young / planned by Kang Dae-seon / produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment), which aired on May 1 and 2, a multi-layered narrative unfolded, following Seong Hee-ju's changing emotions after a kiss on a yacht, leading to a wedding ceremony, an incident, and a crisis. IU, portraying Seong Hee-ju, skillfully depicted the inner self shifting with the flow of emotions, raising the drama's immersion.

Starting from episode 7, Seong Hee-ju's emotional changes after the kiss were depicted in earnest.

At the first meal with her family and Prince Lee An ahead of the wedding ceremony, suppressed emotions surfaced. From holding back tears while trying to hide her complex inner self to finally leaving the scene, she vividly portrayed the process of emotional change, adding depth to the character. Later, the process of gradually opening up her heart to Prince Lee An's comfort was also delicately expressed, naturally connecting the emotional lines between the two characters.

In the wedding scene, IU's other charm shone. She not only perfectly expressed Korean aesthetics by gracefully and beautifully wearing the traditional wedding attire but also realistically portrayed her awkwardness in unfamiliar clothing, heightening the scene's immersion. The wedding, which seemed to conclude amidst blessings, added tension with Seong Hee-ju's sudden fainting. In the embrace scene with Prince Lee An after regaining consciousness, she naturally revealed tender emotions, guiding the audience's immersion.

At the first official event with Prince Lee An after the marriage, Seong Hee-ju's professional side was highlighted once again. In delivering a speech at the Royal School's founding anniversary event, she revealed the character's presence through a dignified and elegant demeanor. Later, when breaking news about the contract marriage surfaced, she delicately expressed her shaken inner self and embarrassment through her eyes and expressions, heightening dramatic tension and raising expectations for future developments.

In episodes 7 and 8 of '21st Century Grand Duchess', IU further completed the character of Seong Hee-ju with flexible acting that smoothly traversed a wide range of emotions. She meticulously depicted the emotional lines changing according to the situation through her eyes, voice tone, and detailed expressions, enhancing the character's persuasiveness and adding stable weight to the entire drama. Expectations for the narrative and relationship changes of Seong Hee-ju that IU will portray in the future are growing even higher.
