Singer and actor IU struggles to win the heart of Byun Woo-seok.

In episode 2 of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘21st-Century Grand Prince Consort’ (written by Yoo Ji-won/ directed by Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young/ planned by Kang Dae-seon/ produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment), which will air on the 11th, Seong Hee-ju (IU) begins head-on flirting to secure proposal approval from Grand Prince Ian (Byun Woo-seok).

Earlier, angered by her family demanding she marry someone she did not want, Seong Hee-ju began searching for a spouse and thought of Grand Prince Ian. Harboring the ambition to raise her status through marriage with him, she finally met him after many attempts and declared her intent to wed. Curiosity now grows over how Grand Prince Ian will respond to this unexpected proposal.

Meanwhile, the released photos reveal Seong Hee-ju’s intense efforts to win Grand Prince Ian’s heart and achieve marriage. On the road, at a movie theater, and even at a riding arena, she follows him everywhere, mounting an affection offensive with finger-heart signs and piercing gazes, her lovely smile bringing a laugh to viewers.

Interest builds over whether her attempts to break through his defenses will lead to the rewarding outcome of a successful proposal.
