Wife of a 21st Century Prince is a light-hearted slice-of-life South Korean drama that explores the theme of modern hearts colliding with royal traditions. The film revolves around Seo Ha-Rin, a free-spirited and energetic announcer living in modern Seoul who is always searching for true love, and Prince Lee Jae-Wook, a member of a dynasty that is both traditional and modern.

At an international event hosted by the queen in Seoul, Ha-Rin is assigned to host and interpret. There, she meets Jae-Wook, who, in addition to his masculine and elegant appearance, also attracts attention with his sincere and humorous personality. Although they come from two completely different worlds – she is an ordinary person, not a royal; He is a prince who is responsible for representing the royal image -, the two are quickly attracted and experience many funny and sad situations, from flashy interviews to simple late-night meals.

During the process of contact, Ha-Rin and Jae-Wook gradually understand each other more deeply: she discovers the traditional burden that he has to shoulder, while he opens his heart, learning how to live a normal life. From deep dialogue scenes under the street lights, to simple moments with a cup of coffee late at night, their love blossoms against the backdrop of urban life.

Wife of a 21st Century Prince leaves its mark thanks to the gentle blend of modern beauty and romantic everyday stories. The film scores with viewers thanks to the natural acting of the main couple, the charming and profound plot, and the youthful, warm image of Seoul.
