Lee Jae-won and Chae Seo-an are drawing attention for their portrayal of a married couple in ‘Perfect Crown.’
While IU and Byeon Woo-seok’s “contract marriage” storyline has been a central focus, the relationship between Seong Tae-ju (played by Lee Jae-won) and Han Da-young (played by Chae Seo-an) offers a contrasting dynamic within the series.
In the drama, Seong Tae-ju is Seong Hee-ju’s (played by IU) half-brother. Han Da-young, who comes from a noble and prestigious background, chooses to pursue a relationship with him despite the risk of being disowned, and the two eventually marry.
Their scenes emphasize a comfortable and affectionate dynamic, with the characters often appearing together and interacting in a relaxed, natural manner. Their portrayal adds a lighter tone to the overall narrative.
In Episode 4, which aired on the 18th, the couple was shown on a baseball stadium outing wearing matching headbands, drawing attention from viewers.
Following the broadcast, viewers responded with comments such as, “They’re such a cute couple,” “Every scene with them is enjoyable,” and “They bring a different kind of charm compared to the contract-marriage storyline.”
Meanwhile, ‘Perfect Crown’ airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. on MBC.
