The highly anticipated new drama "21st Century Grand Lady," starring Byun Woo-seok and IU, is currently in consideration for airing next year.

Fans are buzzing about the upcoming project, especially since it reunites Byun Woo-seok, who gained massive popularity with "Lovely Runner," and IU, known for her stellar acting in hit dramas such as "Moon Lovers" and "Hotel Del Luna."

Excitement skyrocketed when Kakao Entertainment hinted at a possible release this year, teasing viewers with the prospect of seeing the dynamic duo on screen once again.

Despite initial confusion caused by MBC's 2025 drama lineup omission, Kakao Entertainment later confirmed that "21st Century Grand Lady" is indeed part of the upcoming roster, fueling anticipation for what promises to be a captivating series.

With the intriguing backdrop of a 21st-century constitutional monarchy in Korea, the drama promises a compelling storyline of love and social barriers. Seong Hee-joo, a wealthy woman disenchanted with her privileged life, crosses paths with Lee An Daegun, the king's son who is deprived of true possessions.

Byun Woo-seok will play Lee An Daegun, embodying the complexities of a modern-day royal, while IU will bring to life Seong Hee-joo, a character defined by her beauty, intellect, and unyielding spirit as the heiress to a prestigious chaebol family.

Stay tuned for updates on the production and release of "21st Century Grand Lady" as fans eagerly anticipate the next sensational project from these talented stars.
