Exciting news for K-drama fans! The Remarried Empress, the beloved webtoon and novel, is finally getting a live-action adaptation.
The cast lineup is already creating a buzz, and now, actress Lee Se Young (Motel California 2025) is in talks to play Rashta, one of the most controversial characters in the story.
What is The Remarried Empress About?
Based on the web novel by Alphatart, The Remarried Empress follows Navier, the perfect empress of the Eastern Empire. Her life takes a shocking turn when her husband, Emperor Sovieshu, brings home a poor girl named Rashta and makes her his concubine.
Things get worse when Sovieshu asks Navier for a divorce to make Rashta his new empress. But Navier, always composed and strong, makes a bold move — she requests permission to remarry. To everyone’s surprise, she chooses Heinrey, the emperor of the Western Empire.
The story is packed with betrayal, romance, and power struggles, making it one of the most popular webtoons in recent years.
Lee Se Young as Rashta — A Perfect Fit?
Lee Se Young, known for her roles in The Red Sleeve and The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract, is in talks to play Rashta. If confirmed, this will be a major shift from her usual roles as a protagonist.
Rashta is a complex character — a former slave who rises to power but is also manipulative and insecure. Fans are curious to see if Lee Se Young can bring out the depth of this character.
