IU will play the role of "Son Hee-ju," the second daughter of a chaebol family ranked first in the business world, born with a silver spoon and possessing gorgeous beauty, intelligence, and a fierce competitive spirit. She begins to get involved with Grand Prince Ian when her commoner status, which she thought was no big deal, becomes an obstacle in her life. Expectations are high for IU's brilliant acting transformation, as she has showcased solid acting skills across genres through works like "My Mister," "Hotel Del Luna," and "Broker," with her intimate and delicate emotions and captivating gaze.
