“The Remarried Empress,” which has built a global fan base through its original web novel and webtoon, has made its live-action debut. Given the popularity of the original, expectations were high even before its release. But so were concerns over whether a live-action adaptation featuring Korean actors could convincingly bring to life the world of a romance fantasy set in a Western-style imperial court. Released on Nov. 3, the Disney+ original series “The Remarried Empress” is an epic romance fantasy centered on Navier (Shin Min-a), the seemingly perfect empress of the Eastern Empire. When Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon) tells her he wants a divorce after falling for Rashta (Lee Se-young), a runaway slave, Navier agrees on one condition: that she be allowed to remarry Prince Heinrey (Lee Jong-suk) of the Western Kingdom. The series is directed by Jo Soo-won, known for hit dramas including “I Can Hear Your Voice” and “Pinocchio.” “The Remarried Empress” already boasts a substantial global following. The original web novel has recorded more than 160 million downloads, w
