IU and Byeon Woo Seok’s characters moved into a more romantic phase in 'Perfect Crown.'
Episode 3 of MBC’s Friday–Saturday drama 'Perfect Crown,' which aired on the 17th, recorded 9.4% viewership in the capital region, ranking first overall.
In particular, the scene in which Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) and Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo Seok) shared a kiss on top of a wall reached a peak viewership of 12.7%.
At the end of Episode 3, the two characters are shown meeting in secret. Grand Prince Ian gently touches Seong Hee-ju’s face before leaning in for a kiss, while flower petals fall around them and emphasize the romantic atmosphere.
The teaser for Episode 4 then shifts tone, showing Seong Hee-ju driving and saying, “The brakes feel weird!” suggesting a possible danger ahead.
Meanwhile, MBC’s 'Perfect Crown' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:40 p.m.
