Actor Byeon Woo-seok is finally unveiling the final OST for the drama 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife, which he sang himself!
Kakao Entertainment announced that OST Part 11, titled Parallel Line, will be released on May 15 at 6 PM across various online music platforms. Fans are already buzzing since Byeon Woo-seok, who plays Grand Prince Ian in the series, personally lent his voice to the track.
Released just before the drama’s finale, Parallel Line is an emotional ballad capturing the poignant love between two people who lived completely different lives. Just like the title suggests, it sings of a destiny where two people, who seemed as if they would never meet, move toward each other and eventually connect at a single point. Starting with a dreamy and lyrical piano melody, the song builds emotional intensity, paired with Byeon Woo-seok’s warm and deep vocals for a truly immersive experience.
Byeon Woo-seok, who has been loved for his heartbreaking and desperate emotional acting, continues the deep emotions and narrative of his character through this OST. With his clean yet delicate expression, he portrays the sincerity toward a loved one and the complex feelings of wavering before destiny, adding to the lingering emotions of the drama.
A snippet of Parallel Line was first revealed during the ending scene of episode 10, sparking huge interest. The song played at a peak moment of tension when Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Ian realized their true feelings for each other and took a step forward against fate, just as Grand Prince Ian faced a life-threatening crisis surrounded by flames. This left a strong impression on viewers, leading to a flood of requests for the official release on SNS and various online communities.
The 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife OST has been enriched by various K-pop artists across different genres, including WOODZ, RIIZE, BIBI, Sam Kim, Hanroro, and KiiiKiii. From bright and fluttering moments to precarious and poignant emotions, the diverse music has not only heightened the immersion of the work but has also been well-received by listeners, dominating the top ranks of major domestic and international music charts. Now, with Byeon Woo-seok joining as the final OST artist to wrap up the series, expectations are high to see if he will continue the OST’s popularity.
The MBC Friday-Saturday drama 21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife is a romance about pioneering destiny and breaking social status, set in a fictional 21st-century South Korea under a constitutional monarchy. With its newly recreated worldview blending tradition and modernity and the passionate performances of the actors, it has been a huge hit, ranking #1 in its time slot domestically and #1 in the Disney+ Global Top 10 TV Shows (Non-English) category.
