Actor Noh Sang-hyun is in talks to join 21st Century Grand Prince's Wife, an upcoming MBC drama, and fans are looking forward to it. According to reports on March 4 by Xsports, he is considering a role alongside IU and Byun Woo-seok.
The drama is a romance set in an alternate 21st-century constitutional monarchy, where a woman, who has everything but remains a commoner, falls for a prince who, despite his royal status, lacks true power.
