IU and Byeon Woo-seok are barreling toward a shocking lovers' war on razor-thin ice.
On the 24th, ahead of episode 5 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama Perfect Crown, the production dropped stills capturing the first, breath-stealing clash between Sung Hee-ju (played by IU) and Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok).
The newly released photos show the two seated face-to-face, with a chill in the air like never before. Their unflinching, head-on stares crank up the tension. Most shocking of all, an explosive moment is caught where Sung Hee-ju aims a sharp arrow straight at Grand Prince Ian. As Ian desperately tries to stop her and Hee-ju refuses to back down, their standoff sends the suspense through the roof. Viewers are now dying to know what crack has formed between the once-perfect pair.
Meanwhile, Perfect Crown airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. KST on MBC and is also available on Disney+ and Wavve.
