It looks like fans of IU and Byeon Woo Seok will have to be extra patient! The highly anticipated drama 21st Century Prince’s Wife might not air in 2025, with reports suggesting a possible delay to next year.

According to an OSEN report on February 23, MBC is considering scheduling 21st Century Prince’s Wife (tentative title) for the first half of 2026. Meanwhile, Ji Sung’s drama Judge Lee Han Young is being eyed for the year-end slot this year.

21st Century Prince’s Wife is set in a modern-day constitutional monarchy and follows the story of a woman who has it all—wealth, beauty, intelligence, and an unbeatable competitive spirit—but feels frustrated because she’s just a commoner.

On the other hand, the prince, despite being born into royalty, feels empty as he can't truly have anything he wants.

Byeon Woo Seok will play Grand Prince Ian, a royal figure in this alternate version of modern Korea. IU takes on the role of Sung Hee Joo, the second daughter of the country’s most powerful chaebol family. She was born with everything—money, looks, and brains—but she never settles for anything less than first place.

As IU gears up for her return to the small screen with When Life Gives You Tangerines and Byeon Woo Seok continues his skyrocketing popularity following Lovely Runner, excitement is already at an all-time high for their on-screen chemistry!

The drama is also drawing attention because of director Park Joon Hwa, who has a strong track record in the rom-com genre. He previously worked on Rude Miss Young-ae, Let’s Eat, What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, and Alchemy of Souls. His most recent work was tvN’s Love Is Like a One-Way Bridge.

As for when the drama will air, an MBC representative shared, "21st Century Prince’s Wife is currently being prepared for a 2025 release, but the final schedule is still undecided."

Fans who were hoping to see IU and Byeon Woo Seok together on screen this year will have to wait a little longer, but with a star-studded cast and a powerhouse production team, it looks like 21st Century Prince’s Wife will be worth it!
