Reviewing
The Remarried Empress
Alphatart (story), SUMPUL (art), HereLee (adaptation) · Naver Webtoon
So the order you'll get this story in is set. The Korean live-action series hits Disney+ and Hulu first, on November 4. The anime follows next year.

The Remarried Empress anime trailer: mostly webtoon art
The Remarried Empress anime's special promo trailer is about a minute long, posted by HAYATE on YouTube. Don't expect much animation. Most of it is SUMPUL's webtoon art cut together under three words, love, power and desire, before character cards for the four leads. The animated footage is a few seconds of Navier in a red gown near the end, and it closes on a card announcing the 2027 TV anime.

Fans are already arguing about Rashta
The loudest reaction so far isn't about the date. It's about one design. A post on r/TheRemarriedEmpress titled "The anime completely messed up Rashta's design..." argues that "one of Rashta's most defining features was her strikingly silver hair," and the top reply sums it up: "She is supposed to look like an angel." Under the trailer post, one reader thought "the only design that translated well, imo, is Navier."

Here's why that complaint matters more than fan nitpicking usually does. Rashta's whole role in the story depends on her looking like Navier's opposite, soft where Navier is composed. If the anime makes her look like another court schemer, it changes how the first arc reads. That's our read, not a production note; nobody from the anime has commented.
Three versions in a year
This story will exist in three forms within about a year:
- The webtoon (재혼 황후, Jaehon Hwanghu), adapted by HereLee and drawn by SUMPUL from Alphatart's web novel. It ended in January after a seven-year run, and Anime News Network reports it returns this fall with side stories. When we checked the English WEBTOON page on October 22, it was still marked completed.
- The Korean live-action series, on Disney+ and Hulu from November 4, with two new episodes each Wednesday through a November 25 finale, ten episodes in all. Our Disney+ cast guide covers who plays whom.
- The anime, in 2027 on Crunchyroll. It's part of a bigger deal: HAYATE, LINE Digital Frontier and Crunchyroll are developing around 15 WEBTOON titles, and the same panel announced The Boxer anime and Teenage Mercenary.
It's a Japanese production, and the official site pitches the story as a hit "LINE manga" with 2.97 billion views worldwide. That tells you which audience the anime is built for first.
Our Take
Don't wait for the anime to meet Navier. The webtoon is finished, and our The Remarried Empress review has the full verdict on it. The drama gets there first, in November. By the time The Remarried Empress anime lands, you'll know exactly which Rashta you're comparing it to.
The staff is a good fit for a story that lives on court politics and quiet looks. The trailer just doesn't show enough animation to judge it yet. If you finish the webtoon before then, our manhwa like The Remarried Empress list has eight more court-intrigue reads.
