[이안대군 신드롬📮 @wooseoksyndrome]

Director Park Joonhwa eventually shed tears as he expressed his apologies to the actors of #PerfectCrown #21세기대군부인

Director Park shared, "I put a lot of effort into the visual elements. Doesn't our country have many things to be proud of, like our palaces? The actors' visuals were also lovely and cool. They looked different from ordinary people. I tried hard to ensure that the combination of IU and Byeon Wooseok could be well expressed."

He continued, "Thinking of the actors, I only feel sorry. I worked hard because I wanted to show the viewers heart-fluttering, joyful, and bright sides. I am sorry that they are getting hurt due to issues with historical interpretation or immature aspects. In fact, after the final broadcast is a moment when you can say 'You worked hard,' but I truly can't think of anything else but being sorry. I am the most experienced person on the drama set, and I am sorry for not taking better care of things. I should have contemplated more and been more fierce. I wonder if I was buried in the initial settings."
He also shared his thoughts on the acting skills of IU and Byeon Wooseok. First, regarding IU, he stated, "After reading the script in the beginning, I thought Seong Huiju was a tremendous villainess. Her pursuit and execution of desire, and furthermore, her desire to even enter into a contract marriage had to be expressed extremely. Regarding this, I talked about the direction with IU. Although she is a villainess, rather than a strong image, I hoped she would show a subtle clumsiness and fidelity to her desires. So, I ordered her to emphasize and show the emotions of the moment. I thought IU's acting gave great strength to the flow of the play, and many of the harsh and uncomfortable situations were diluted. I think she acted very multi-dimensionally."

Next, regarding Byeon Wooseok, he said, "I felt that he worked really hard and made a lot of effort. I thought that the higher someone's position is, the less their emotions should be revealed. I believed that the more emotions are revealed, the more weightiness disappears, so I hoped a slightly more rational appearance would be highlighted. I thought that not showing much emotion and then showing a different side after meeting Seong Huijuwould be more heart-fluttering for their relationship."

He added, "Byeon Wooseok really tried very hard. He felt anxious while filming, and he tried to show more diverse sides within his own acting. I even blocked those aspects. I tried hard to capture a lot of the colours Byeon Wooseok possesses, the depth of his gaze, and his sad sides, and I wanted him to be recognised.”

Director Park eventually shed tears and could not continue speaking. Mentioning that he remembered a video on social media of an elderly person happily watching Perfect Croqn, Director Park expressed, "To be honest, it was so difficult when directing the ballroom scene, but seeing that video, they were so happy and liked it so much. I am sorry for causing discomfort to those who watched and healed with that kind of heart."

The future of Perfect Crown is currently being discussed internally. "I want to say thank you and sorry to those who loved and liked the drama, and to those who reprimanded us. I will make efforts in various ways with deeper contemplation and a cautious attitude. I hope there will be an opportunity in the future to correct the parts that may have been uncomfortable."

[INFO DRAKOR @infodrakor_id]

Sutradara drama MBC #PerfectCrown 'Park Joon Hwa' akhirnya buka suara soal kritikan akting dua pemeran utamanya, Byeon Woo Seok dan IU, serta kontroversi distorsi sejarah. Ia mengaku merasa sangat bersalah karena para aktor ikut menerima kritik tajam, padahal menurutnya mereka hanya menjalankan arahan yang ia berikan.

Soal kritik akting IU yang dianggap terlalu berlebihan, sutradara menjelaskan bahwa itu memang arahannya. Ia ingin karakter Hui Ju terlihat sangat ambisius, emosional, dan punya sisi dramatis supaya terasa seperti tokoh utama di komik romantis. Menurutnya, jika dimainkan terlalu realistis, karakter itu malah akan terasa dingin dan membuat drama jadi membosankan. Ia merasa IU berhasil membuat karakter yang awalnya tampak keras menjadi lebih hidup dan manusiawi.

Sementara itu, Byeon Woo Seok dikritik karena ekspresinya dianggap terlalu datar. Namun sutradara mengatakan ia memang meminta Wooseok menahan emosi karena karakter pangeran seharusnya terlihat tenang dan tidak mudah menunjukkan perasaan. Ia ingin perubahan emosinya muncul perlahan setelah jatuh cinta, sehingga perkembangan karakter terasa lebih kuat di akhir cerita. Menurutnya, tatapan mata dan aura sedih Byeon Woo Seok sudah sangat cocok dengan karakter pangeran yang kesepian dan penuh beban.

Sutradara juga mengungkapkan bahwa Byeon Woo Seok sebenarnya sempat mencoba menunjukkan sisi emosi yang lebih beragam saat syuting, tetapi justru ia sendiri yang meminta agar tetap ditahan demi menyesuaikan konsep karakter. Karena itu, ia merasa kritik yang diterima para aktor seharusnya menjadi tanggung jawabnya juga sebagai sutradara.

Di akhir wawancara, sutradara kembali menegaskan bahwa banyak hal yang dipermasalahkan penonton sebenarnya merupakan hasil keputusan dan arahannya sendiri. Karena itu, ia merasa para aktor tidak pantas menanggung semua kritik sendirian.

1. 《哲仁王后》 (Mr. Queen, 2020)
​The Backlash: This drama faced one of the most intense historical witch-hunts in recent memory. Because it was a comedy about a modern chef's soul trapped in a Joseon queen, critics went ballistic. They claimed it "ridiculed" Korean history, targeting a line where a character referred to the strict Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty as "just a tabloid."
​The Outrage Level: Over 7000 formal complaints were filed to Korea's broadcasting regulator. Corporate sponsors panicked and pulled out, and there was a massive online mob demanding the show be canceled entirely.
​The Reality: The production team apologized, changed some historical clan names to fictional ones, and kept the "FICTION" narrative strong. The show went on to score a massive 17.4% finale rating, becoming one of the highest-rated cable dramas in Korean history. Today, it’s remembered purely as a comedic masterpiece.
​2. 《宮》 (Princess Hours, 2006)
​The Backlash: Because it set up an alternate timeline where the Korean Imperial Family still existed in the 21st century, strict traditionalists hated it. They complained that the royal court protocols, the hybrid modern-traditional imperial clothing, and the casual way the young royals spoke violated traditional court etiquette and "cheapened" the dignity of the royal family's memory.
​The Reality: The show completely ignored the complaints, lean into its gorgeous, stylized alternate reality, and ignited the global Hallyu wave. It launched the careers of its young cast and remains an untouchable classic.
​3. 《永遠的君主》 (The King: Eternal Monarch, 2020)
​The Backlash: This was a pure sci-fi, parallel-universe fantasy, yet netizens paused trailers frame-by-frame to find things to attack. They claimed the fictional "Corean Empire" royal emblem looked too much like the Japanese imperial seal and that some fictional wooden palace buildings used a traditional Japanese temple architectural style rather than Korean structure.
​The Reality: The production team quietly used CGI to adjust the graphic designs in later episodes. Despite the loud internet noise, the drama was a massive international smash hit on Netflix, dominating charts globally for months.
​4. 《大長今》 (Jewel in the Palace, 2003) & 《朱蒙》 (Jumong, 2006)
​The Backlash: Even these untouchable, legendary pillars of Korean television history faced heavy academic and netizen criticism during their runs.
​Jumong was heavily criticized for compressing historical timelines and completely altering the geopolitical maps of ancient Gojoseon and Buyeo to make the story more dramatic.
​Jewel in the Palace took massive creative liberties with the sparse historical records of Royal Physician Jang-geum, altering medical procedures and court dynamics for television tension, which led to endless complaints from traditional historians.
​The Reality: Both dramas blew past 50% viewership ratings domestically and were exported to nearly 100 countries, single-handedly introducing Korean culture to the entire world. The "inaccuracies" became completely irrelevant footnotes in history.
​The Playbook Never Changes
​Every single one of these examples proves that controversy is temporary, but a masterpiece is permanent. The critics always use the exact same playbook: they take a piece of art, apply rigid, real-world academic rules to an explicitly stated "WORK OF FICTION," and try to ruin lives over props, architecture, or line interpretations.
​But history has already decided how this ends. Perfect Crown setting a historic 13.8% benchmark means it has already joined the ranks of these legendary shows. Decades from now, people will still be raving about IU and Byeon Woo-seok's acting, while the bitter commentators counting beads on a crown will be completely forgotten.

Hello.
This is IU, who played the role of Seong Huiju in Perfect Crown.

Over the past few days, I carefully read through each and every message left by many viewers.
As the lead actress of the production, I feel very sorry for not being able to show a responsible side of myself and for seeming to have caused great disappointment to all of you, and even now my heart feels very heavy.

Regarding the various historical inaccuracy issues within the drama that many of you pointed out, I have no excuse for approaching the acting without thinking more deeply about them, and I sincerely reflect on my actions and apologize.
As this was a work where it was important to contain imagination based on our unique history and to capture the traditional beauty of the Republic of Korea, I should have read and studied the script more carefully as an actress, yet I failed to do so, and I am ashamed of myself for that.
I failed to properly recognize the issue beforehand. I am sorry.

Thank you to everyone who stayed with the work until the end and did not hesitate to share your thoughts.
Keeping the valuable criticism and opinions you have given me in my heart at all times, I will become an IU who approaches future works with greater care and thoroughness.
Once again, I am sorry.
