About Wife of a 21st Century Prince
Wife of a 21st Century Prince also known as 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife is poised to be a unique romance drama set in an alternate Korea, where a constitutional monarchy reigns. The story revolves around an unlikely romance between a brilliant and beautiful chaebol heiress, Sung Hee Joo (played by IU), and a brooding royal prince, Prince Lee Ahn (Byeon Woo Seok).
Hee Joo, the second daughter of Korea's wealthiest family, seems to have it all - stunning looks, intelligence, and a fierce competitive spirit. However, her 'commoner' status becomes an obstacle, leading her to cross paths with the melancholic Prince Lee, who, despite being the king's son, feels empty and unfulfilled.
As they navigate their differences and challenge societal norms, Hee Joo and Prince Lee Ahn must confront their own biases and prejudices, sparking a romance that changes their lives.
IU and Byeon Woo Seok's pairing highly anticipated
Fans have been eagerly anticipating this fresh pairing, especially after Byeon Woo Seok's acclaimed performance in Lovely Runner. Meanwhile, IU comes with an impressive background, including dramas like Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, My Mister, and Hotel Del Luna, and the movie Dream.

The drama tells the story of Ae Soon and Gwan Shik, born on Jeju Island in the 1950s, and their adventurous life journey. The Netflix synopsis of the series reads, ¡°Ae Soon is rebellious but gets nervous every time she rebels. She isn¡¯t well off but is always shining and full of positivity. She dreams of becoming a poet, although she is unable to attend school, and she is a bold character who doesn¡¯t hide any emotions.
Gwan Shik is an extremely diligent and quiet character. Romance isn¡¯t a strength for him, however, and he doesn¡¯t know how to act if Ae Soon cries or laughs, but he is a silent warrior who only loves Ae Soon from the very beginning and pours his all into loving her.¡±
