In contrast, overseas fans are expressing regret with comments such as, "Make the Blu-ray. This is the minimum we can do for those who supported '21st Century Grand Duchess'," "Please make it for international fans. Please," "This is disappointing to the international community," and "Please release the Blu-ray."

'21st Century Grand Duchess' was engulfed in historical distortion controversies, and the production team, along with the two lead actors IU and Byun Woo-seok, issued public apologies one after another.
