The Remarried Empress hit No. 1 worldwide on Disney+, but Korea seems unusually harsh, so I’m making a discussion post

I’m a drama fan, so I tend to watch pretty much every new release.

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from The Remarried Empress, but I watched it because it’s Korea’s first romance fantasy drama.

I personally had a really good time watching it, and it sucks that people only engage with it through reaction pics and mocking posts, so I’m writing a somewhat serious intro post today.

As soon as The Remarried Empress was released, it hit No. 1 on Disney+ in 12 countries, including Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Belgium, and Switzerland.

It also made the TOP10 in 76 countries worldwide.

Today they officially announced that it achieved the best debut for Korean content in more than 90 markets... wow.

It’s famous here too because of all the funny reaction pics, but it’s also getting a ton of buzz overseas.

People apparently expected the next thing to surpass Squid Game to come from Netflix, but now they’re going wild saying it might come from Disney+.

International drama fans are reacting really well too.

I don’t really like slapping the K-label on everything either, but I think people are enjoying seeing Korean actors go all in on a romance fantasy drama.

I heard this is also the first time something on Disney+ has come this close to hitting No. 1 basically everywhere worldwide.

Anyway, the overseas response is really positive right now, and it’s powering ahead on pure momentum, so maybe momentum really does make things happen.

So I wrote this hoping we could show it a little support too.

Of course, I respect that it won’t be everyone’s thing. Haha. I can’t say there aren’t any rough patches, and I know it has this weirdly tacky vibe at times. (I laugh so hard at it too, lol.)

But honestly, it really is fun, lol. I hope everyone can give it a try with an open mind.

It’s been a while since this many people had fun talking about something getting so much buzz, so I like that part too.

And finally, check out these behind-the-scenes photos before you go.
