The drama, praised each week for its striking mise-en-scène and the leads’ visuals, once again seized viewers’ attention in a big way.
In episode 6 of MBC’s Friday–Saturday drama Perfect Crown, which aired on the 25th, Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok) and Seong Hee-ju (played by IU) attend a ceremonial event.
At the center of a lavish ballroom, the two share a gorgeous waltz, turning up the romantic tension. In the next scene, Grand Prince Ian proposes to Seong Hee-ju in a swoon-worthy moment, filling living rooms with pink-tinged excitement.
But after the broadcast, online communities and social media lit up with reactions such as “The setting isn’t the UK but Korea, yet the vibe screams Bridgerton,” “I thought of Bridgerton the moment I saw it,” and “Is the whole aesthetic basically Bridgerton?” — saying the scene strongly evoked the Netflix series Bridgerton.
Meanwhile, Perfect Crown airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. and is also available on Disney+ and Wavve.
