'The Remarried Empress' Stills Show Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon in Royal Looks

The four leads of the Disney+ series "The Remarried Empress" are dressed for the palace in a new set of stills. The show's team released royal photo stills of Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk and Lee Se-young, each showing a different side of their characters.

The Disney+ original follows Emperor Sovieshu (played by Ju Ji-hoon), who falls for Rashta (Lee Se-young), a runaway slave. When Sovieshu tells Empress Navier (Shin Min-a) that he wants a divorce, she does not simply accept it. Instead, she announces that she will accept his request under the condition of being able to remarry Heinley (Lee Jong-suk), a prince of the Western Kingdom.

The stills place all four characters in royal settings. In one, Navier and Sovieshu stand side by side in a green garden. The image calls back to their past as the emperor and empress of the Eastern Empire, when they were still married.

Shin Min-a wears a lavish gown and jewelry to capture the grace of an empress. Inside the palace, she looks neat and reserved. Outdoors in the sunlight, her look turns softer.

Ju Ji-hoon plays Sovieshu with a controlled expression and a steady gaze. In one shot, he rides a horse through a thick forest. The royal costume and the natural scenery give the frame a fairy-tale feel.

Lee Jong-suk steps into the role of Heinley. Set against foreign-looking buildings and a green garden, he appears relaxed. In other shots, his cold, hard-to-read expression hints at the character's secretive side.

Lee Se-young plays Rashta, the emperor's favorite. She wears brightly colored dresses and jewelry, with full silhouettes and fine details. The outfits show Rashta stepping into the center of royal life.

The series uses rich set design, costumes and visuals to bring its palace relationships and conflicts to the screen. The four leads' different outfits and moods also help show each character's personality and place in the story.

Episodes one through four are now streaming on Disney+. Two new episodes arrive each week, for a total of 10 episodes.
