The Perfect Crown’s popularity is placing the series among fans’ favorites. The first two episodes hint at an impending mismatched royal wedding, with the leads bringing modern twists to love. Byeon Woo Seok’s stoic yet charming grand prince Yi An is slowly falling for the fierce Seong Hui Ju, played by IU. They’ve developed feelings for each other, but will their love story be simple? Recent episodes introduce new obstacles, particularly for Hui Ju, who draws the Grand Queen I-Rang’s disapproval. Let’s explore the series in detail.
A Challenge to a Growing Royal Love Story: Can It Flourish Without the Queen’s Blessing? Episodes 3 & 4 Explained
The first two episodes introduce a royal union, but the later episodes suggest otherwise. Hui Ju, who aspires to the royal wedding, receives considerable attention. Even Grand Prince Yi-An supports the match just to upset her sister-in-law. A royal marrying a commoner will shock both families and the media. The queen initiated this idea, but it backfired when Yi-An agreed.
All around the country, news channels are shocked, agencies are in dismay, and royal advisors are questioning this relationship, but to An and Hui, this is just a way to get back at those who tried to frame them. Hui Ju is enjoying every bit of luxury under her would-be husband’s name, and she, too, hasn’t left her own taste in it. She remains the same fierce CEO of Castle Beauty, who strives for perfection. Just to get the media’s attention, these two are adding fuel to their rumors. According to tradition, the queen and other royals must approve it, but with more eyes comes more suspicion.
Yi-An, pretending to be enamored, is truly falling for Hui Ju. She embraces royalty, impressing the royal keeper and soon winning their favor. As Hui Ju navigates palace life, Queen I-Rang grows suspicious: are they genuine or just pretending? Her desire to observe them adds intrigue to her motives.

Public opinion about the two is really optimistic, yet some show pessimism with the royal blood being corrupted by the commoner. Some school kids act violently toward Hui Ju and throw eggs at her, but this makes Hui Ju act irrationally. Her father, who seems like he is disguised by her move, acts harshly, yet Ju acts more like a diva, like she always does. In a flashback, her childhood and her yearning for love all made her act arrogantly, but now she chooses to be one instead of being unhappy.
Yi-An arrives at her home, thinking she was upset, but acts so generously with her that Hui Ju is surprised. She, too, reciprocates his generosity with some tea and music to soothe his insomnia. The caring nature of hers seems to touch the prince’s heart, and he kisses her, but that’s just to get caught in a royal romance. The next day, it’s all the news: how the two lovebirds act secretly.
This romantic encounter doesn’t last much longer when Queen I-Rang makes a false accusation that, at the time of the royal birthday, an explosion occurred, and it could be Hui Ju’s fault. The grand prince comes to the rescue and later solves the issue. Prime Minister Jeong U too is worried by this and tries to protect Hui Ju from these royal conspiracies. He, too, loves Hui Ju, and marrying a royal makes him half jealous. At the baseball game, things go a little half-intense, but Hui Ju handles it.
Just when things were going fine, a fatal incident got the two bound in another conspiracy. Is Hui Ju being targeted by royalties to be gone forever, or is this just the beginning of her miseries? Both episodes turned out to be quite a roller coaster. The young prince, enjoying his childhood thanks to Ju, Grand Prince Yi-An seems to love Hui’s carefree yet fiery nature, and love slowly entering their lives makes the two open their hearts to each other.
