MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "The 21st Century Grand Prince Lady" (English title PERFECT CROWN), starring IU and Byun Woo-seok, has been drawing hot attention among overseas fans since the first broadcast. It is a court romance set in the 21st century constitutional monarchy Korea, and its solid story and acting skills as well as overwhelming visual beauty are impressing viewers around the world. It was a hot topic even before the broadcast that director Park Joon-hwa, who directed the "Spirit" series, took the megaphone and director Bae Hyun-jin joined as a cinematographer. The unique world view, where hanbok, luxury bags, horses and luxury cars coexist, also drew a response that it was "a freshness that has never been seen before."

"I've never disappointed you with this video"

On X (formerly Twitter), posts related to video beauty exploded with the #PerfectCrown hashtag right after the show was aired. Fan account @kdrama_outofbox posted, "This drama cinematography has never let me down," while @minteamatcha exclaimed, "All his scenes in Perfect Crown are about to be screenshotted." @EdoVibeQueen said, "I finally saw the Perfect Crown and I'm doing the title value. The visual beauty is soft, rich, and intentional. And not to mention IU's outfit," he enthused.

In addition, @CNTRIAST said, "The screen took the entire drama, stole the spotlight, created a trend," while @serinearc responded, "It shot my heart in the right way." @dkdldpafb said, "This scene works from every angle. I can't get enough of it," he said, sharing a video capture.

What drew the attention of fans in particular was that the scene that they thought was computer graphics was actually filmed on site. Sharing the behind-the-scenes video, @wooseoksyndrome wrote, "I thought the falling water scene was CG, but I was shocked that it was actually filmed. It's so beautiful," he said. In fact, the drama actively used the real space as a stage by directly utilizing media art works set in Hwaseong Hwaseomun, Suwon, in the sequence of the King's Birthday event in episode 1. @goldenbn1031 has predicted since the time of filming that "color correction, camera angle, and color will all be top tier." @_cutiebws also "totally overwhelmed by the set setting. The production team is amazing," he praised.

IMDB 8.4 points, Reddit is also getting positive reviews

The favorable reviews for the beauty of the video led to a review site. IMDB has an average of 8.4 points for 467 people. One IMDB user wrote, "Cinematography, sets and costumes all combine perfectly to create an immersive royal atmosphere," while another commented, "The view of the hybrid dynasty that naturally combines tradition and modernity is fresh and visually impressive." The Reddit K-drama community said, "I can feel the huge budget in every scene," and there were also favorable comments that "IU's bold character's acting ability was impressive." The chemistry between IU and Byun Woo-seok was also praised as "organic and natural" and "Epilogue scene was a show stealer."

The drama has ranked No. 1 in viewership at the same time since its premiere on April 10, and is being streamed simultaneously around the world through Disney+. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:40 p.m.
