Actor Choi Dae Hoon is preparing to show a different side of himself in Disney+'s upcoming fantasy romance drama The Remarried Empress, where he will play the loyal secretary and cousin of Lee Jong Suk's character.
Ahead of the drama's November 4 premiere, Disney+ released new character stills featuring several supporting cast members, including Choi Dae Hoon, Lee Bong Ryun, Nam Yoon Ho, Jung Young Joo, and Park Ho San.
Choi Dae Hoon takes on the role of McKenna, the personal secretary and cousin of Prince Heinrey, played by Lee Jong Suk.
Unlike a typical secretary who simply follows orders, McKenna shares a close family relationship with the prince and is the only person who can openly scold him.
With Heinrey's unpredictable and carefree personality, McKenna constantly finds himself worrying about the prince's actions.
Their relationship is expected to bring humorous moments to the drama, as McKenna tries to keep Heinrey out of trouble while remaining his most dependable supporter.
The role also marks a noticeable change from Choi Dae Hoon's previous appearance in The Dream Life of Mr. Kim, giving viewers a chance to see him portray a different character.
Meanwhile, the newly released stills also introduced other characters who will play important roles in the royal palace.
Lee Bong Ryun portrays Eliza, the loyal head court maid who supports Empress Navier, played by Shin Min Ah. Nam Yoon Ho plays Marquis Lant, a trusted aide to Emperor Sovieshu, portrayed by Ju Ji Hoon.
Jung Young Joo joins as Lady Albany, while Park Ho San plays Viscount Lotteshu, a mysterious figure connected to Rashta's past.
Based on the popular web novel and webtoon, The Remarried Empress follows Empress Navier as she faces an unexpected divorce from her husband and makes a surprising decision involving Prince Heinrey.
The original story has reportedly surpassed 2.97 billion cumulative views and has been made available in 10 languages, including English, Spanish, and Japanese.
With Choi Dae Hoon playing Lee Jong Suk's protective cousin and secretary, their close but often playful relationship is expected to add another entertaining element to the royal romance.
The Remarried Empress will premiere on Disney+ on November 4, releasing its first four episodes, followed by two new episodes every Wednesday for a total of 10 episodes.
