Actor Lee Jong-suk has taken over the romance fantasy genre. He presented the perfect image of the 'No. 1 K-romance fantasy prince.'

'Remarried Empress' (directed by Cho Soo-won), released on Disney+ on the 3rd, is a romance fantasy epic in which Navi (played by Shin Min-a), the perfect empress of the Eastern Great Empire, is notified of a divorce by Emperor Sobiesch (played by Joo Ji-hoon), who has fallen for the runaway slave Rasta (played by Lee Se-young). In response, she accepts the divorce but demands approval to remarry Heinrey (played by Lee Jong-suk), the prince of the Western Kingdom.

In Parts 1 through 4, released on the 3rd, Heinrey immediately drew all eyes to himself upon his appearance, capturing the full attention of the Eastern Great Empire's imperial family. As the prince of the Western Kingdom, who had been surrounded by all sorts of rumors, appeared in person, the atmosphere within the palace stirred, and each of his moves became a new variable for the imperial court.

The only object of Heinrey's gaze was Navi. As Sobiesch's heart tilted toward Rasta, leaving Navi to guard her position as empress alone, a being who looked at her and only her appeared by her side for the first time. Along with his first greeting, "It is an honor to meet you, my Queen," Heinrey's approach to Navi changed the atmosphere from the very start.

The New Year's ball scene clearly imprinted that Heinrey is another protagonist of this story. In contrast to Sobiesch heading toward Rasta, Heinrey extending his hand to Navi, who was left alone, simultaneously stirred excitement and relief, instantly changing the protagonist of the ball. Heinrey walking toward Navi without caring about anyone else's gaze, and Navi taking his hand. The atmosphere of the ball, with the two as its protagonists, heightened anticipation for a new turn that Heinrey would bring about.

Lee Jong-suk fully immersed himself in the perfect character of Heinrey from his debut. While maintaining the dignity befitting a prince, he also equipped himself with a free-spirited nature, a relaxed attitude, and a touch of playfulness.

In particular, Heinrey conveyed excitement by revealing his traits as a 'devoted younger man, exclusive to Navi.'

The high synchronization rate with the 'Queen,' which had been a topic of discussion even before the work's release, further added to the character's appeal. The 'Queen,' implemented considering Heinrey's costume, hair color, and even eye color, drew attention with an atmosphere and behavior very similar to Heinrey's. Even without prior information that the Queen was Heinrey, the overlapping appearances between the two beings felt natural.

Lee Jong-suk revealed a different face from the fantasy works he has presented in the past. Having persuaded audiences of even unrealistic settings through works such as 'I Can Hear Your Voice,' 'W (Double U),' and 'While You Were Sleeping,' this time he perfectly immersed himself in the worldview of romance fantasy, bringing the prince from the original work to life on screen.

Meanwhile, 'Remarried Empress' is being released on Disney+ with two episodes per week, for a total of 10 episodes. Parts 5 and 6 are scheduled to be released on the 11th.
