If IU and Byeon Woo-seok are going viral for their sizzling “contract marriage” romance, this couple is dialing up viewers’ heart-flutter levels every episode with a sugary “dating-to-marriage” love story.
They’re the scene-stealing spouses in MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown: Seong Tae-ju (played by Lee Jae-won) and Han Da-young (played by Chae Seo-an). In the drama, Seong Tae-ju is Seong Hee-ju’s (played by IU) half-brother. Despite being a noble-born lady from a prestigious family, Han Da-young dove into a fiery romance with Seong Tae-ju—risking being disowned—and ultimately made it to the altar.
The two not only gaze at each other with overflowing affection, but they’re practically glued together whenever they appear—naturally portraying a blissfully married couple that sparks plenty of laughs. Their honey-dripping chemistry injects bubbly energy into the narrative and shines as a delightful comic accent.
In particular, Episode 4, which aired on the 18th, drew attention as the pair wore cute matching headbands and enjoyed a baseball stadium date. Right after the broadcast, viewers reacted with comments like, “They’re such a cute couple,” “Every scene with them is lovable and healing,” and “A totally different kind of fun from the contract-marriage couple.”
Meanwhile, fueled by standout performances across the cast and rising viewership, Perfect Crown airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. on MBC.
