[Sports Today reporter Kim Tae-hyung] IU (Lee Ji-eun) is mounting a bold campaign to win the heart of Prince Ian, played by Byun Woo-seok.

In episode 2 of MBC’s Friday–Saturday drama 21st Century Grand Lady, airing on the 11th, Seong Hee-joo (IU) launches a direct flirtation aimed at getting Prince Ian (Byun Woo-seok) to accept her proposal.

Previously, Seong Hee-joo bristled at her family’s pressure to marry someone she didn’t want and began looking for a match on her own. She set her sights on Prince Ian as a way to climb the social ladder. After persistent efforts, she finally confronts him with a marriage proposal — leaving viewers eager to see how he will respond.

Newly released photos offer a peek at Seong Hee-joo’s determined pursuit. From a roadside encounter to the movie theater and even the riding arena, she trails him everywhere, sending hand-heart gestures and intense looks. Her playful, winning smile is designed to charm both him and the audience.

But Prince Ian registers clear discomfort at Seong Hee-joo’s appearances, which come across as staged coincidences at both public and private events. Her road to a successful proposal looks anything but straightforward, and it’s unclear whether she can pierce his defenses.

Viewers will see IU’s sweet, relentless efforts to win Byun Woo-seok’s character in the broadcast.
