In '21st Century Grand Duchess', Kong Seung-yeon raised the drama's tension with a meticulous counterattack.

In episodes 5 and 6 of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Grand Duchess' (script by Yoo Ji-won, directed by Park Jun-hwa), which aired on the 24th and 25th, while Prince Lee An (played by Byun Woo-seok)'s marriage was halted due to a car accident involving Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) carrying his son Yoon (played by Kim Eun-ho), Yoon I-rang (played by Kong Seung-yeon), who faced a crisis because of Prince Lee An who had used her, finally launched a counterattack, turning the tide.

On that day, Yoon I-rang rushed to the hospital upon hearing the news of Yoon's accident and felt relieved to see Yoon, who was not seriously injured. However, she showed her maternal instincts by worrying so much that he could not be easily touched.

Later, ahead of the earthquake-resistant banquet she hosted, she agreed to Prince Lee An's request to invite Seong Hee-ju to the banquet instead of calling off the marriage, but the scene showed Yoon I-rang wavering as she even secured Yoon's consent to the marriage.

To Yoon I-rang, who was in this state, Prince Lee An pressured her by revealing that he knew about her past of changing the late king's (played by Sung Jun) will, pushing her into a corner. In response, Yoon I-rang told her father Yoon Seong-won (played by Jo Jae-yoon), "Since Seong Hee-ju will become a weakness for the Crown Prince, isn't it better to keep her at a distance where she can be touched?" thereby hinting at another scheme.

At the end of the drama, Yoon I-rang arranged a dinner date with Seong Hee-ju, warning Prince Lee An not to block Yoon's path, and launched an unexpected counterattack. She even turned the tables by bringing up the wounds Prince Lee An had inflicted on her father in the past, raising the tension to the highest level. Yoon I-rang's counterattack, which turned the tide to get what she wanted, even made viewers behind the screen hold their breath.

In this process, Kong Seung-yeon delivered overwhelming immersion with acting that was one with the character. She constantly guarded against Prince Lee An and Seong Hee-ju to protect Yoon's throne, capturing every changing expression, gaze, and subtle emotional shift. Kong Seung-yeon's acting, which vividly portrayed Yoon I-rang's anger and emotions, captivated the eyes and ears of the living room theater and skyrocketed interest.

As such, Kong Seung-yeon has become the main villain responsible for the drama's tension. Interest is further focused on whether she can elevate Prince Lee An and Seong Hee-ju and place her son Yoon at the pinnacle of power.

'21st Century Grand Duchess' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
