Adapted from the popular web novel of the same name, “The Remarried Empress” tells the story of Navier - the perfect Empress of the Eastern Empire.
She was deposed after her husband Emperor Sovieshu had an affair and divorced her. Navier later remarried Prince Heinrey - Emperor of the Western Empire and became empress once again.
According to Korean media, Joo Ji Hoon has received an offer to play Navier's first husband Sovieshu, while Shin Min Ah and Lee Jong Suk are currently in talks to play Navier and Heinrey.
Joo Ji Hoon's management company said he is actively considering the offer.
Although the actor has not made an official decision on whether or not to participate in the project, the media has high expectations for Joo Ji Hoon to once again transform into a royal role.
Previously, the actor made a splash with his role as Crown Prince Lee Shin in the movie "Palace" and as Crown Prince Lee Chang in the movie "Kingdom of the Living Dead".
On the other hand, Sovieshu is a key character in the dramatic conflicts of “The Remarried Empress”. Although described as a “bad man”, this character still exudes a captivating charm.
The media commented that if Shin Min Ah, Lee Jong Suk and Joo Ji Hoon all accept to participate, "The Remarried Empress" promises to be a film that achieves high synchronization compared to the original thanks to the cast having advantages in both appearance and acting.
In addition to considering acting in a fantasy drama, Joo Ji Hoon has also just returned to the screen with the medical drama “Trauma Care Center”.
In the film, he plays the main role - Baek Kang Hyuk (Joo Ji Hoon) - a genius surgeon with a stubborn personality, unwilling to compromise.
Returning to Korea after years of experience in war zones, he works to revive the hospital's trauma center and save patients on the brink of life and death.
According to initial comments from the audience, in addition to the medical element, the film has a humorous color, combined with many action scenes. Kang Hyuk's rudeness and efforts to save patients in life-threatening situations are convincingly portrayed by Joo Ji Hoon.
Some viewers even compared the Korean star's new role to the character of Mr. Kim in the series "Medical Teacher" because he is strict with patients but very gentle and mild when teaching his students.
