The Remarried Empress: Overview

The Story

Navier (Shin Min Ah) is the flawless empress of the Eastern Empire. Her husband, Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji Hoon), cheats on her with a runaway slave, Rashta (Lee Se Young), then divorces her. Navier’s answer is bold: she marries Heinrey (Lee Jong Suk), prince of the Western Empire. Love, politics and payback now share the same palace.

Meet the Characters (and Their Posters)

Navier (Shin Min Ah). Her poster is set against red and beige, projecting regal grace, quiet strength and alluring charm. She’s the heart of the story: dignified, resilient and about to rewrite her fate.

Sovieshu (Ju Ji Hoon). His poster uses deep blue and green tones that suit his cool, calculating nature as emperor. In the teaser he once promises Navier she will be his only wife, but the cold looks between them tell a different story.

Rashta (Lee Se Young). Her bright pink poster, decorated with flowers, radiates charm. The teaser shows Sovieshu confessing he’s excited by her for the first time, and even telling her she will become the empress. That puts her at the centre of a dangerous triangle.

Heinrey (Lee Jong Suk). His emerald-hued look hints at mystery and sophistication. In the teaser, he cheekily suggests that Navier take revenge by finding a handsome, high-ranking lover. A note signed by “Queen,” Heinrey’s other identity, teases whether their meeting is fate.

What the Teaser Shows

The “romance chemistry” video follows three shifting pairings: Navier and Sovieshu’s cracking marriage, Sovieshu and Rashta’s risky affair, and Navier and Heinrey’s budding romance. Each choice looks set to send ripples through the imperial court.
