Disney+’s "The Remarried Empress" is generating new buzz among international viewers as the series progresses. In particular, reactions to Prince Heinrey, played by Lee Jong-suk, are growing increasingly enthusiastic.

While initial interest was largely driven by the show’s stunning visuals and the romance fantasy genre itself, recent episodes have drawn prominent praise such as "Heinrey feels like the true protagonist" and "His charm explodes with every episode." On English-language X and overseas fan communities, phrases such as "My favorite Disney prince," "It feels like seeing a Disney prince in real life," and "The person who gives Navie everything she needs" frequently appear.

Reviews of Episodes 5 and 6, which aired on the 11th, also particularly highlight Lee Jong-suk’s acting. Overseas media outlets have commented that "Lee Jong-suk handles romance fantasy as if it were his native language" and that he "simultaneously showcases the charm of an affectionate young man and a sense of solid stability." Reactions continue to describe him as "a prince whose very presence is comforting" and "a character who fully gives Navie love, respect, and protection," while the chemistry between Lee Jong-suk and Shin Min-a is also being cited as one of the biggest highlights of the episodes.

Overseas fans are particularly paying attention to Heinrey’s attitude and presence. Many note that his tendency not to remain confined to a glamorous romance, but rather to sincerely respect and protect the other person, becomes clearer as the series progresses. Opinions follow along the lines of "At first I thought he was just a handsome prince, but the more I watch, the more I feel a sense of stability and sincerity" and "He truly shows what an ideal male lead in a romance fantasy looks like."

Praise is also emerging for the directorial aspects. The color palette and atmosphere of scenes featuring Heinrey, along with his delicate emotional expressions, have been evaluated as making "the screen itself brighter," with many voices stating that Lee Jong-suk’s acting further elevates the character’s charm.

"The Remarried Empress" is maintaining steady results on global charts, driven by the popularity of its webtoon source material. At the center of this, Heinrey’s character and Lee Jong-suk’s performance are leaving a strong impression on international viewers, establishing themselves as "the reason to keep watching this drama."

As the series progresses and Heinrey’s charm deepens, attention remains focused on what kind of reactions will be sparked in the future.

"The Remarried Empress" is released with two episodes every Wednesday.
