This drama is set against the backdrop of a constitutional monarchy in 21st century South Korea. It will depict the romance of a woman who is a wealthy heiress but is only a 'commoner' in status, and a man who is the son of a king but can possess nothing, as they meet and carve out their destiny while breaking social class barriers.

Byun Woo-seok shared several photos taken with IU on his SNS. In the released photos, the two are dressed in a tuxedo and a dress, exuding an elegant yet sophisticated atmosphere.

Meanwhile, '21st Century Grand Lady' has garnered significant interest from drama fans even before its airing due to its unique setting and glamorous casting.
