Shin Min-a aims to show both regal, human side of Navier in 'The Remarried Empress'

In preparation for her role as Empress Navier in Disney+ series The Remarried Empress, actress Shin Min-a expressed her intention to embody the character's regal demeanor while also highlighting her human qualities and newfound affection. The web novel adaptation chronicles the tumultuous marriage of Navier and her spouse, Sovieshu, who is portrayed by Ju Ji-hoon. Their world is turned upside down when Rashta, a former enslaved woman played by Lee Se-young, enters their lives.

Instead of allowing Rashta to disrupt their lives and attempt to reclaim her husband's affection, Navier chooses to forge her own path in life. She is supported in this endeavor by Heinrey, a mysterious prince with the ability to transform into a bird named Queen, played by Lee Jong-suk. Despite the delicate emotional progression required due to Navier's stature as an empress, Shin was resolute in showcasing her humane side as a woman who discovers new love and makes fresh decisions.

At a press conference held in Seoul ahead of the series' release, Shin emphasized the importance of striking a balance between Navier's regality and her vulnerability. She aimed to connect with audiences and garner their support for the character by demonstrating both strengths and weaknesses.
