Chaos is coming to ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’ as the secret prenuptial agreement between Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) and Grand Prince Ian (played by Byeon Woo-seok) is exposed to the world!
In the 9th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ’21st Century Grand Prince’s Wife’ airing on the 8th, Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Ian, who have been maintaining a fake marriage, will be summoned and severely reprimanded by Queen Dowager Yoon Yi-rang (played by Gong Seung-yeon).
In the previous episode, the two visited the royal school where their relationship first began as their first official appearance as a couple. However, while the event was underway, the details of their agreed prenuptial contract were reported in the media. Now, the royal family, the cabinet, and the entire nation know their relationship was purely business, leading to a massive backlash.
The released photos capture the freezing atmosphere as the two are interrogated by Queen Dowager Yoon Yi-rang and the royal family association. The tense expressions of Seong Hee-joo, who plotted the fake marriage to gain status, Grand Prince Ian, who accepted it, and their aides Choi Hyun (played by Yoo Su-bin) and Do Hye-jung (played by Lee Yeon), who were involved from the planning stage, heighten the anxiety over what happens next.
Queen Dowager Yoon Yi-rang’s sharp attitude is particularly eye-catching. Having been wary of Grand Prince Ian to protect her young son’s royal authority, she uses this scandal as an excuse to launch a full-scale offensive. Using the justification that the royal family’s authority was damaged and the public was deceived, Yoon Yi-rang plans to push Grand Prince Ian out of power. All eyes are on whether Seong Hee-joo and Grand Prince Ian, now trapped in a desperate situation, can overcome the sharp criticism and pressure from their political rivals to make a successful counterattack.
