South Korean actor Byeon Woo Seok is ready to return to the audience in MBC's latest drama, 'Perfect Crown.' This highly anticipated drama is scheduled to premiere in April 2026 and will air on Fridays and Saturdays.
This time, Byeon Woo Seok will play the character of Prince Yi An, a prince who has everything in terms of status, but does not have the freedom to have anything other than his noble title. Prince Yi An was the late king's only younger brother.
As the second son, he grew up under strict royal rules—he was not allowed to stand out too much and had to suppress his ego for the sake of the throne. Despite his limited life, the people still crowned him "The Most Beloved Member of the Royal Family" for his extraordinary good looks and charisma.
After the deaths of his father and brother, Yi An takes on the immense responsibility of being the guardian of his young nephew. Amidst political intrigue and attempts by rivals to overthrow him, he meets Seong Hee Joo (IU), a commoner tycoon.
This encounter leads to a contractual marriage proposal that will change the prince's destiny and peaceful life. The released stills showcase Byeon Woo Seok's transformation into the elegant Prince Yi An.
Dressed in a crisp formal suit, he exudes the aura of a modern aristocrat, intelligent and dignified. His deep gaze conveys both the loneliness and strength of a leader respected by the nation's top brass.
After the huge success of the drama Lovely Runner, Byeon Woo Seok is expected to show a new, more mature and authoritative side through this complex character of Yi An. Set in modern-day South Korea with a constitutional monarchy, 'Perfect Crown' is a "caste-breaking" romance drama.
The story focuses on the dynamic between a wealthy woman resentful of her commoner status and a prince who is saddened by the fact that, despite his royal blood, he cannot determine his own path in life.
