IU’s desperate fight is poised to break viewers’ hearts.
On the 15th, MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown dropped a pre-released clip from Episode 11, instantly creating buzz.
In the clip, the palace is engulfed in flames as Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) dives straight into the fire without hesitation to rescue Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok). Checking the unconscious prince’s heartbeat, she uses every ounce of strength to pull him out, and her anguished cries of “Please live” left viewers on the verge of tears.
Reactions from netizens included: “Checking if his heart is still beating — that’s insane,” “My chest hurts already this morning,” “Does the palace not have fire hydrants?” and “Charging into a blaze with no equipment feels way too old-school.”
The pair’s fate will be revealed in tonight’s 9:50 p.m. broadcast.
