"100 Days My Prince" (All 16 episodes) *All episodes free until Sunday, May 10
As a child, Crown Prince Lee Yul falls in love at first sight with Yoon Yi-seo and impulsively proposes marriage. However, immediately after, Yul's father stages a rebellion to seize the throne, falsely accusing Yi-seo's father. Yi-seo's father dies, and the two are separated.
Sixteen years later, Yul, now Crown Prince, is attacked by assassins. While fleeing injured, he loses his memory and washes up in a village. Meanwhile, Yi-seo, who survived, lives in the village under the name "Hong Shim," but is facing harsh scrutiny for being past marriageable age.
To escape her predicament, Hong Shim impulsively lies, saying she has a fiancé named "Won Deuk." Just then, Yul, who has lost his memory, appears and introduces himself as "Won Deuk," leading the two to unexpectedly live together as a married couple.
Starring EXO's D.O. (Do Kyung-soo), this is a romantic historical drama that begins with the "fake married life" of a prince who lost his memory and a woman living as a commoner. Please enjoy this popular work, which exquisitely blends laughter, excitement, and pathos.
