Perfect Crown is set in an alternate version of Korea where the country functions as a constitutional monarchy in modern times. The story follows Sung Hee Joo, played by IU, a wealthy chaebol heiress who seems to have everything except noble status. Opposite to her is Grand Prince Yi An, played by Byeon Woo Seok, a royal prince who carries status by birth but has no real power. The K-Drama centers on the emotional and romantic bond between two people from very different positions in society.
