Singer-actress IU and “Lovely Runner” star Byun Woo-suk have been confirmed to star in a new MBC drama series “The 21st Grand Prince’s Wife” (tentative title), Kakao Entertainment said Monday.
Set in an alternate Korea with a constitutional monarchy, IU will play the female lead role of Sung Hee-joo, an ordinary woman from a wealthy chaebol family. Byun Woo-suk will take on the role of prince Ean, the second son of the King, whose potential is limited by his royal status.
The romance series is scheduled to be broadcast in the second half of next year.
