IU♥Byeon Woo-seok, Romance at Its Peak—but… Why Reactions About "Height Difference That Kills the Flutter"?

As the relationship between IU and Byun Woo-seok has reached a new turning point, viewers are divided over the direction of some scenes.

In episode 5, which aired on the 24th, Prince Ian (played by Byun Woo-seok) and Seong Hee-joo (played by IU) confirmed each other's true feelings and were shown deciding to move forward together. In particular, the scene at the Inner Clinic event, where Prince Ian took Seong Hee-joo's hand and said, "I'll fight without holding back, just as you do," symbolically showed the change in their relationship and capped the episode's ending.

Although the MBC drama 'The 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' continues its success while drawing attention day after day, viewers have also expressed disappointment with some scene direction. In particular, a scene shot in a full shot that emphasized the height difference between the two drew reactions that it disrupted immersion.

After the broadcast, internet users offered a range of opinions, saying, "The height difference stood out a bit too much, making it feel awkward rather than thrilling," "The direction felt like it interrupted the flow rather than bringing out the emotions," "It would have been better as a close-up," and "The visual aesthetics are disappointing." Among viewers who had been anticipating the chemistry between the two, reactions expressing disappointment also continued, such as "Their chemistry isn't as noticeable as I expected" and "Their vibe doesn't seem to match well."

On the other hand, some also responded, "The story has become more interesting," leading to divided opinions.

Meanwhile, the MBC drama 'The 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife' airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
