MBC’s new drama, Wife of a 21st Century Prince, is a romantic story set in an alternative version of South Korea, where a constitutional monarchy still exists. The plot follows the love story of chaebol heiress Sung Hee Joo, who, despite her immense wealth, lacks noble status. On the other hand, Lee Ahn, the King’s second son, has royal lineage but lacks power or wealth.
IU steps into the role of Sung Hee Joo, the ambitious and sharp-minded second daughter of Korea’s most powerful conglomerate family. Despite her beauty and fortune, Sung Hee Joo lacks noble status. As she navigates the complexities of family expectations and societal pressures, she unexpectedly forms a bond with Prince Lee Ahn. This unforeseen connection challenges her preconceived notions and sets her on a journey that will change her life in ways she never imagined.
IU’s character Sung Hee Joo will cross paths with Byeon Woo Seok’s Lee Ahn, who will change his thoughts and perspective on life. MBC is planning to release this new romantic K-drama by the end of 2025.
