I’m still in awe that The Remarried Empress team stayed true to the original webtoon settings.
It’s definitely a bit tricky, but after watching the teaser, I understand what Jongsuk meant it feels unfamiliar, yet that’s exactly what makes it challenging and fascinating, and what sets this drama apart.
