Byun Woo-seok's attention to detail proved effective.

MBC's Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' is now just two episodes away from its finale. Byun Woo-seok brings the character Prince Lee An to life with his own distinctive details within the unique world of a modern constitutional monarchy, driving the drama's immersion. From styling to his deep gaze and tightly woven emotional arcs, Byun Woo-seok's detailed acting brings the character to life as if he truly existed.

First, to fully realize the character of Prince Lee An, Byun Woo-seok actively participated from the styling stage, adding depth to the character's portrayal. He directly exchanged opinions with the styling team during the production process of over 40 costumes, building the details of Prince Lee An and creating a 'Prince Lee An look' where the elegance of royalty coexists with modern sophistication. With Byun Woo-seok's overwhelming visuals, physical presence, and unique aura added, he created a three-dimensional character who commands attention simply by appearing.

His meticulous gaze acting toward Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) maximized the charm of the romance genre. In the early part of the drama, the process of shifting from a curious gaze to gradually becoming tender and affectionate was expressed through Byun Woo-seok's specialty, often referred to as his 'major' — his eyes — adding persuasiveness. It is said that Byun Woo-seok conveyed the feeling of falling in love just by looking at his counterpart, deepening the romance.

Above all, Byun Woo-seok captivated viewers once again through his emotional acting. After the contract marriage leak incident aired on the 9th, Prince Lee An, who was notified of divorce by Seong Hee-ju, left a profound lingering impression with just his wavering gaze and welling tears. Furthermore, the scene of Prince Lee An quietly crying in the East Palace while thinking of his brother moved viewers to tears, filling living rooms with a heavy, emotional atmosphere. As a result, the term 'personal color' was even attached to his tears, clearly highlighting Byun Woo-seok's strength.

As such, Byun Woo-seok is not only realizing the visual aspects but also meticulously building the inner world and narrative of Prince Lee An, completing the character both internally and externally. As anticipation and attention converge on '21st Century Grand Duchess,' which will reveal what kind of ending Byun Woo-seok's Prince Lee An will unfold, the drama airs on Fridays and Saturdays at 9:50 PM on MBC.
