Singer and actress IU revealed behind-the-scenes footage from the filming of '21st Century Grand Duchess,' which features an emotional storyline with Byun Woo-seok.

On the 12th, IU's official YouTube channel 'Lee Ji-geum' released a scene showing Hee-joo (played by IU) kneeling before her father to ask for help after their contract marriage is discovered. During the process, IU openly shared Hee-joo's complex emotions as well as her own philosophy on love, drawing attention.

After filming the scene, IU said, "I abandoned all pride in the face of love." She added, "Wan (played by Byun Woo-seok) should understand this kind of love, and seeing that I hope he understands it makes me think I haven't loved him enough yet. True love is not about hoping the other person understands."

When the production team asked whether this was IU's philosophy or Hee-joo's, IU replied, "I think it's IU's philosophy. Hee-joo has no enemy at Navy Headquarters, so she probably doesn't have a philosophy yet."

IU also explained the scene where Hee-joo kneels before her father, saying, "Because of the complex and subtle relationship with her father, it must have been even more difficult." She added, "Kneeling before just one father is far more difficult and humiliating than kneeling before the entire nation."

She further added, "She asked her father for help with the mindset of grasping at any straw."

Meanwhile, when asked about the future relationship between Wan and Hee-joo, IU answered honestly, "On the day we filmed this scene, I saw the script for the 10th episode for the first time. I want to give hints, but I really don't know. Since I am also acting without knowing the preceding situation, I plan to go with the flow."
