IU, Byeon Woo-seok apologise after ‘Perfect Crown’ faces criticism for historical inaccuracies

New Delhi, Popular South Korean stars IU and Byeon Woo-seok on Monday apologised to fans after the latest episode of their new romance drama “Perfect Crown” sparked online debate over historical inaccuracies and the wrong use of royal terminology. IU, Byeon Woo-seok apologise after ‘Perfect Crown’ faces criticism for historical inaccuracies Set in an alternate universe where Korea is a constitutional monarchy, the romance drama features IU, 33, as Seong Hee-joo, an heiress who has a commoner status as an illegitimate child and enters into a contractual marriage with Grand Prince Ian , the second son of the king. They fall for each other while navigating the hurdles in their highly-publicised marriage. At the centre of the controversy is the show’s 11th episode that features Ian finally being sworn in as a king.

Lovely Runner Star Byeon Woo-Seok Talks About His Old Modelling Days & Reveals If He Starved Himself To Look Skinny

Why was Byeon Woo-Seok so skinny during his modelling career days? (Photo Credit – Instagram) Byeon Woo-Seok began his acting career with many cameo roles in different prestigious projects, but what put him on the map was his portrayal of Ryu Shi-O in Strong Girl Nam-Soon. However, he rose to fame overnight after being featured in Lovely Runner (a time travel rom-com drama) alongside Kim Hye-Yoon. He played Ryu Sun-Jae and won millions of hearts with his dimpled smile and charismatic on-screen presence. But did you know that before becoming an actor, he was a model? Yes, that’s right. He has walked many fashion shows for various designers and created a name for himself in the fashion world. However, destiny had something else planned for him.

[Drama Chat] The rise of Byun Woo-seok » Dramabeans Kdrama

[Drama Chat] The rise of Byun Woo-seok by Dramaddictally Watching Lovely Runner has me thinking a lot (maybe too much?) about Byun Woo-seok these days. He’s come a long way in his rise to male lead status over the past few years. And while I’ve had my eye firmly fixed on him since 2020’s Record of Youth, his Lovely Runner role is surely something to write home about (see the weecaps for loud evidence of that). Charming, cute, sweet, sexy, pained, and not afraid to cry and look like he means it, he’s knocking it out of the park in every episode.And yet, I’ve heard some mentions from drama fans that they’re just discovering his work — and, implicitly, torn apart at what they’ve been missing! To that end, here’s our place to discuss all things Byun Woo-seok. Whether you’ve scouted him in cameos all over the dramaverse or you first noticed his purdy pout in the films 20th Century Girl or Soulmate — and I mean, if you’ve seen them, how could you not? …

Byun Woo-seok is a cutie patootie in new teaser » Dramabeans

Byun Woo-seok is a cutie patootie in new teaser by Jenzy If the last couple teasers were all about Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) and her time-slip antics, the latest batch of teasers for tvN’s Lovely Runner shift the spotlight to the object of her affection: the top-celebrity Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon).To mega-stan Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon), idol-actor Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok) is the one who gave her the strength to live after an accident left her wheelchair-bound and deeply depressed. So when he ends up meeting a tragic death and she’s suddenly sent back in time to when they were both teens, she’s determined to use this opportunity to repay Sun-jae by keeping him alive. But once upon a time, before Sun-jae was thrust into the entertainment industry, he was just a normal high-schooler with a promising swimming career. In this past timeline, life is going great, so it’s a bit jarring for him when a tiny human suddenly appears out of nowhere, calling herself his fan, making wild claims about time-travelling through a magical …

Kim Hye-yoon cries for Byun Woo-seok in tvN’s Lovely Runner

Kim Hye-yoon cries for Byun Woo-seok in tvN’s Lovely Runner by tccolb Now that we’ve swooned plenty over 2D photos – and cardboard cutouts – of luscious lips star celeb Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon), it’s time for our heroine Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) to continue her fantasy in live-action, watching dramas of her favorite man in the latest teaser for tvN’s Lovely Runner.I’m starting to get worried that all these fun promos are skyrocketing my excitement and it’s hard to hold back my widening grin when the teaser’s music is just so good. Calling back to the melodramas of yore, the tinkling piano sets the perfect mood as Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok) acts in the full noble idiocy of his character, pleading, “Don’t like me. I’m telling you, don’t like me.” A teary-eyed Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) gives as good as she gets, pretending to take the place of the drama-in-the-drama’s female lead as she demands to understand what Sun-jae means and how it’s even possible to not like him. As per the captions, the …

Byun Woo-seok is a dream come true in Lovely Runner by tccolb It’s just another day in the life of a fangirl for Kim Hye-yoon (Snowdrop) in the first teaser for tvN’s timeslip romance Lovely Runner, where our heroine is happy to spend her day swooning over photos of top star Byun Woo-seok (Strong Girl Nam-soon).Serious props to the set design for making sure our heroine’s bedroom is well-equipped with a finely curated display of fan paraphernalia, enshrining her beloved idol Ryu Sun-jae (Byun Woo-seok). Zooming in on a particularly dashing shot, Im Sol (Kim Hye-yoon) indulges in fandom’s greatest dream as she bemoans the fact that, “Our Sun-jae has everything. But he doesn’t have me.” Dissolving into a fit of giggles, as we fans are wont to do, Sol lets her imagination run further as she turns to the cardboard cutout of Sun-jae standing behind her. But when she opens her eyes, Sol is surprised to see the real Sun-jae calling her name. According to the drama’s synopsis, this is when our heroine somehow …
