New Remarried Empress clips spark feelings about Ju Ji-hoon's character before premiere

The drama has yet to premiere, but a character has already provoked a reaction. At 1:32 p.m. on October 31, a Korean forum user selected clips because they disliked Ju Ji-hoon's character. The official Disney+ trailer embedded below was released September 15; it is not the October 31 TV excerpt.

The Korean post labels its stills as footage from a KBS movie-preview program and links two X posts; its author says other videos contain additional shots. We could not independently replay the whole footage and do not reconstruct dialogue or sequence.

The interesting shift is from casting news to an emotional response to a fictional character. Source readers may wonder how that tension translates to live action. A comment count alone cannot tell us what all commenters thought.

[Observed October 31] The Korean poster explicitly said the character played by Ju Ji-hoon irritated them; this is a reaction to fiction, not a factual accusation against the actor. [Earlier fan discussion] A separate early-October Reddit thread contained anticipation and viewing-schedule preferences. It is not a post-broadcast response. Individual comments on the Korean thread were inaccessible.

Based on a web novel and webtoon, the series stars Shin Min-a as Navier, Ju Ji-hoon as Sovieshu, Lee Jong-suk as Heinrey, and Lee Se-young as Rashta. The story involves marriage and imperial power. Unlike earlier supporting-cast photo coverage, this piece focuses on a newly reposted scene and its uploader's response.

Verified: the Korean post is dated October 31 at 13:32 and links two X posts; Disney+ Singapore released an official trailer September 15; Disney's announced premiere date is November 4. The full TV broadcast, original X uploaders, and comment-by-comment sentiment remain unverified.

After November 4, viewers can judge the surrounding context, characters' choices, and fidelity to the original. A reaction to promotional material is not a review of the finished series.
