MBC <The Grand Prince's Wife of the 21st Century>
It's a counterattack.
IU declares all-out war on the world to protect Grand Prince Byun Woo-seok.
On the 9th (today), episode 10 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Grand Prince's Wife of the 21st Century’ (written by Yoo Ji-won/ directed by Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young/ planned by Kang Dae-seon/ produced by MBC, Kakao Entertainment) will see Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) throwing the palace into turmoil as she pushes for a divorce from the royal clan, including Prime Minister Min Jeong-woo (played by Noh Sang-hyun), following Grand Prince Ian (played by Byun Woo-seok).
Earlier, Seong Hee-ju and Grand Prince Ian found themselves at the center of controversy after the marriage contract they wrote leaked. From rumors that Grand Prince Ian colluded with Castle Group to covet the throne to theories that the poisoning attempt on the wedding day was staged, the boundary-crossing rumors continue, making his position even more precarious.
In response, Seong Hee-ju intends to fight the world by demanding a divorce not only from Grand Prince Ian but also from the cabinet and royal relatives, in order to redirect all the arrows toward herself. Although Grand Prince Ian has yet to reply to her divorce declaration, curiosity mounts over what consequences her unilateral push to seize her goal will bring.
Attention is also focused on how Grand Prince Ian and Min Jeong-woo react as they watch Seong Hee-ju's one-woman charge. Grand Prince Ian has not only made every effort to shield Seong Hee-ju from the world's criticism but has also confessed his true feelings to her multiple times, so his answer to Seong Hee-ju's divorce request is drawing attention.
Meanwhile, Min Jeong-woo begins to marshal all the power he has to stop Seong Hee-ju from taking all the blame onto herself. Once the most reliable senior-junior pair, they now harbor different aims, foreshadowing an unavoidable confrontation. This heightens interest in Seong Hee-ju's hard-fought struggle to persuade Min Jeong-woo and secure the divorce in order to protect Grand Prince Ian.
Episode 10 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Grand Prince's Wife of the 21st Century’, in which IU launches a counterattack against the assaults targeting Byun Woo-seok, will air today (the 9th) at 9:40 p.m.
