[Streaming Star Ratings] Cineplay Critic's Rating for Disney+ Series 'The Remarried Empress'

A romantic fantasy with Korean actors that retains the original's setting, this is much more assured than I had feared. The costumes and sets, in particular, offer plenty of eye candy. The CGI is convincing enough where it needs to be, too. Still, it is watchable rather than anything more; look closely, and the unexplained details and characters going through the motions become distracting. The problem is that, through episode 4, the story is more subdued than expected, so it seems to need something that will really hook viewers going forward. On a personal note, it is also disappointing that the menswear designs do not mesh with the womenswear.
