#iu for elle korea's april special edition issue interview about #byeonwooseok
👤 i heard you talked about the script and acting even during break time. what did you talk about the most 🐥 we talked about useless and funny things and naturally got closer while messing around with meaningless jokes. we even randomly did skits (laughs). but even then we would point out the points we were worried about regarding the project together and often had conversations like "if i do it like this how will you react to it?" "how about trying it like this?" we built trust by honestly giving feedback like, "i think what you did earlier was better than just now." so we came to trust each other's words. on days when our condition is not good, we quickly notice it in each other. in those moments we became reliable partners for each other while throwing out jokes like "you look so cool today that i want to share my eyes with everyone"

👤 how was your chemistry with iu who plays sung heejoo? 🐶 our laughter did not stop today either (laughs) we talked a lot about the scenes we were shooting on set and asked for opinions on what would be better while having fun filming. we did exchange serious talks about acting, but honestly we spent a lot of time joking around (laughs). iu's interpretation of the character or her directions of looking at the script are very detailed. there were many points to learn from her, and at the same time i also thought she is a really cool actress. as a person she is quite easygoing and honest so even those parts were charming. thanks to her i was able to film happily on set so i am very thankful.

heejoo is very skilled at hiding her weak side with harsh expressions and ways of speaking, but don't miss the moments where her loneliness and weakness show without her being able to hide them. i tried to make a difference in the liveliness of my voice and facial expressions between heejoo when she enjoys dopamine in the process for achievement and heejoo when she does not."
IU shared her thoughts on the overwhelming interest following the casting announcement, saying, “I feel worried and nervous, but above all, I’m most excited knowing so many people are looking forward to it. I hope this becomes a project that viewers can enjoy until the very end.” As for why she chose Perfect Crown as her next project, she explained, “The title felt unique and left a strong impression on me. Each character’s personality really stood out, making it a fun read—especially Heejoo. Her unpredictable actions and the motivations behind them were incredibly charming to me.” ✨ I’m really looking forward to seeing how IU brings Heejoo to life!
I’m really excited for this K-drama, it’s my most anticipated one! I’ve heard some fans say it might feel like a crossover with The Red Sleeve, because if the prince (Jeongjo and Uibin Seong’s son) hadn’t died, the monarchy could have continued. So I’ll definitely watch carefully to see if there are any references or connections!
✨ Honestamente me encantó este drama. La historia y el romance fueron un slow burn muy bonito, aunque imposible por el hecho de que él era un ancestro. Me gustó cómo su relación se desarrolló poco a poco: primero aprendieron a confiar, luego se volvieron confidentes y finalmente se comportaban como una pareja casada sin darse cuenta. 💞
En los últimos capítulos me alegró que el director incluyera más escenas de ellos juntos —no me equivoqué al decir que tenían una química increíble, especialmente en la noche de bodas y en la escena improvisada preparando el postre. 🍰✨
El final fue bueno, aunque me dio algo de tristeza que no fuera el verdadero Li Yan sino su reencarnación… pero al menos eso compensó un poco. 💔❤️
En definitiva, un romance que vale la pena ver si te gustan las historias con emoción, ternura, comedia y química real entre los protagonistas. 💫
This drama was a letdown. It promised depth but offered only shallow spectacle. The story—about a rising performer—had potential but felt clichéd and uninspired. Characters lacked depth, especially the female lead, whose motivations were unclear. Dialogue was repetitive and hollow, failing to connect emotionally. Pacing was off, with rushed or dragged-out scenes. Even the musical numbers lacked energy and creativity. They should’ve cast a stage actress instead—some choreography looked uncoordinated in certain shots. Instead of a gripping journey, it delivered a predictable and forgettable show. It aimed for brilliance but ended up empty.
Me encantó todo. Es un K-drama que te atrapa desde el primer episodio. Me gustó cómo retrataron el amor entre madre e hija y cómo, a pesar del tiempo, el ciclo de la hija con la madre se repite. También me pareció increíble la forma en que representaron a las generaciones pasadas. La cinematografía es una obra de arte y las actuaciones son de primer nivel.
Tiene un romance puro, con el primer amor, el primer beso y la primera fuga. Además, la escena del barco es la más romántica que he visto en un K-drama.
Al público solo puedo decirles que lo vean, vale totalmente la pena. 🧡🍊
after all this hype I have a feeling it will be a massive flop
I understand that there may be doubts after so much "hype", but I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt. IU has an impressive track record and undeniable talent, so it wouldn't be fair to write him off so quickly. Expectations can sometimes be difficult to manage, but they can also lead to incredible surprises. Better wait and see before judging, don't you think? 😊
Speechless—it's breathtaking, and the cinematography is outstanding. The K-drama of the year, ladies and gentlemen! The visuals, the imagery, and seeing IU and Park Bo-gum—it feels like a masterpiece.
