A web novel prequel to the hit 2026 Disney+/MBC K-drama Perfect Crown, titled Perfect Crown in Royal Academy of Korea, will launch on Kakao Page on May 16, 2026. Written by the drama's scriptwriter, Yoo Ji-won, the 30-chapter web novel explores the school days of the main characters, including the chaebol heiress (IU) and royal prince (Byeon Woo-seok)

I’d guess they just wanted to hurt her without realizing the king would be in the car… we’ll see

Egg Drop has been dethroned by Subway. The original fast food king 👑 is back!

Exactly! PJs and Crocs

That’s pretty typical if you watch historical K- or C-dramas 😢🙄

She even dressed very casually to invoke sympathy out of the palace staff

There were two pairs — white and black, right?

Yes, I also don’t feel any romantic connection. I think it’s clearly a power play by her.

They were hardly seen in 2025 dramas (Egg Drop took their place) because they were saving up! 🤣😁

I think she mentioned this week’s episodes will show different sides of her character, not necessarily that they will be better. At least, that’s what she posted on Berriz.

Yes! As I mentioned in a comment earlier today, the ultimate power move would be if we found out that before they started “dating” FL invested in Subway franchises with her savings. That way, they’d still be rich even if her dad & half-brother kick her out of the family.

Not only that, he doesn’t ever care about his legacy because he wants to leave everything to her half-brother who is very clearly incapable of anything serious. He got kicked out of Royal Academy even though the family donated a bunch of money (and where she was the top student) and he’s not as good at business as her.

No, I noticed that too. He may want to become king to take the pressure off the kid. Queen Mother is crazy 😳

She’s doing a good job of playing her role 😁

They will for sure. It’s a hidden part of a palace, there are no witnesses if they don’t tip someone off :)

She most definitely does want to do that. yes. She had prepared a list (in ep. 1 or 2) and even met with one of the ladies.
Really, FL’s family also wants to do the same thing to FL. They want her to marry down to someone unremarkable so she’d be easier to control.

We know one of them is a spy, but it’s nice to see FL & them getting along :)

And she kept his token in the safest place, lol 🤣😁

I feel like there may be a twist (like a paparazzi was invited to take photos) but our boy may be catching feelings for sure. He’s helped her in school and has been helping now 🥰

It’s a very good drama so far. And the concept is not even that much of an alternate universe — it’s similar to British Royals nowadays.
