Disney+'s The Remarried Empress, starring Shin Min Ah and Lee Jong Suk, has made a strong debut by taking first place in the TV and OTT drama buzz rankings during its first week of release. Adding to the achievement, all four lead actors entered the Top 10 most talked-about performers.
According to Good Data Corporation's FUNdex rankings for the first week of November, The Remarried Empress claimed No. 1 with a buzz share of 21.16%, ahead of 100 Days of Lies in second place with 18.36% and Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia in third with 12.17%.
The Disney+ fantasy romance secured a 2.80 percentage point lead over the second-place drama, showing strong public interest following its premiere.

The drama also topped all four major buzz categories, including news coverage, online community discussions, videos, and social media, highlighting its popularity across different platforms.
The attention also extended to its lead actors, with all four securing places in the Top 10 performer rankings.
Shin Min Ah, who plays Empress Navier, ranked fourth, making her the highest-ranked cast member. Lee Jong Suk, who portrays Prince Heinrey, followed closely in fifth place.
Meanwhile, Ju Ji Hoon, who plays Emperor Sovieshu, took seventh place, while Lee Se Young, who portrays Rashta, ranked eighth.
With Shin Min Ah and Lee Jong Suk both entering the Top 5, their performances and on-screen chemistry have become major points of interest. Ju Ji Hoon and Lee Se Young's appearances in the Top 10 also show that viewers are paying attention to the drama's central characters.
Based on the popular web novel of the same name, The Remarried Empress follows Navier, an empress who faces a major turning point in her marriage and makes an unexpected decision about her future.
Beyond its domestic buzz rankings, the drama has also achieved a notable international milestone.
