Actress Lee Se-young shared her thoughts on the character Rasta, whom she plays in "The Remarried Empress," saying, "I thought, 'You really have no thoughts at all.'"

A production report for Disney+'s "The Remarried Empress" was held on the morning of the 3rd at the Conrad Hotel in Yeouido, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul. The event was attended by actors Shin Min-a, Joo Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young, as well as Director Jo Su-won.

"The Remarried Empress" is a romantic fantasy epic in which Navie (played by Shin Min-a), the perfect empress of the Dongdae Empire, is notified of a divorce by Emperor Soviesh (played by Joo Ji-hoon), who has fallen for the runaway slave Rasta (played by Lee Se-young). Instead of accepting the divorce, she demands approval for her remarriage to Prince Heinrey (played by Lee Jong-suk) of the Seowang Kingdom.

Lee Se-young, who plays the runaway slave Rasta in the drama, explained, "I think of Rasta as being like a child. A child cries instinctively when hungry. Similarly, I viewed Rasta as a character who fiercely desires to survive and stay alive."

In the drama, Rasta acts as a "anger-inducing" character. When asked about a scene that left a deep impression while acting, Lee Se-young said, "There is a line that has been released where I say to Empress Navie, 'Can I call you unnie?' While delivering that line, I felt (that Rasta) really has no thoughts at all," eliciting laughter.

Meanwhile, "The Remarried Empress" will be released on Disney+. The series was originally scheduled to release episodes 1 through 4 on the 4th, but the release date has been moved up by one day to the 3rd. Thereafter, two episodes will be released every Wednesday, for a total of 10 episodes.
