It revealed the birth process of a K-romance fantasy on an unprecedented scale, from the original work's unparalleled worldview to the behind-the-scenes creation of characters Navi, Soviash, Heinrey, and Rasta, as well as location scouting across 16 countries including France, Germany, and the Czech Republic, and overwhelming imperial spaces, further heightening anticipation for the main series.

"The Remarried Empress" is a romance fantasy epic in which Navi (played by Shin Min-a), the perfect empress of the Great Eastern Empire, is notified of a divorce by Emperor Soviash (played by Joo Ji-hoon), who has fallen for Rasta (played by Lee Se-young), a runaway slave. In response, she accepts the divorce but demands approval for her remarriage to Heinrey (played by Lee Jong-suk), the prince of the Western Kingdom.

Based on a global IP that recorded 297 million views, the production attracted high interest from the early stages. The "Special Look" released this time includes interviews with the cast, director, and writer, along with the process of realizing the original work's worldview in live action. In particular, it revealed the behind-the-scenes creation of major characters such as Navi, Soviash, Heinrey, and Rasta, as well as the location scouting process across 16 countries including France, Germany, and the Czech Republic, and the production processes for imperial spaces, art, and costumes.

Meanwhile, "The Remarried Empress" will be released exclusively on Disney+ on November 4.
