Disney+ has set a November 4 launch date for its lavish historical K-drama The Remarried Empress, starring Shin Mina and Ju Jihoon, which will receive a world premiere in the On Screen section of the upcoming Busan International Film Festival.
Based on a Naver Webtoon of the same name that has amassed almost 3 billion views, the ten-part series follows the strained relationship of the Empress Navier and her husband Emperor Sovieshu. While anxieties are rising across the kingdom, the couple’s relationship is tested when the Emperor falls in love with a runaway slave.
