Good news for fantasy romance fans: you don’t have to wait until tomorrow. The Remarried Empress is premiering today, November 3, a day ahead of its original November 4 date. The surprise came during the series’ press conference, and the teaser that announced it is as charming as the drama’s premise.
The Remarried Empress: A Surprise Announced Live
At the morning press conference for the Disney+ original series, host Park Kyung Rim revealed the schedule change. The event was attended by Shin Min Ah, Ju Ji Hoon, Lee Jong Suk, Lee Se Young and director Jo Soo Won. The director admitted he felt both nervous and excited, noting that the positive reception at the Busan International Film Festival raised his hopes. Lee Se Young said she was even more thrilled that viewers would see it a day sooner.
The Teaser That Revealed the Date
The announcement came wrapped in a playful clip. Prince Heinrey turns into a bird and flies to Empress Navier, ignoring his secretary McKenna, who frets that many eyes are watching. He gives a mischievous wink before shapeshifting out the window. In a garden, Navier removes a tiny scroll from the bird’s leg, which reveals the new premiere date. It is romantic, funny and very on-theme.
What Is the Story?
Based on a popular web novel of the same name, the fantasy romance follows Navier, the perfect empress of the Eastern Empire. When her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, cheats on her with a runaway slave named Rashta and divorces her, Navier responds by marrying Heinrey, the prince of the Western Empire. It’s a revenge-meets-romance setup that promises drama, power plays and a lot of royal tension.
