*Sigh* What is there to say about this? There's literally no point in its existence! Very, very redundant and disappointing. If you're up to date on all of the episodes you don't need to watch it, though the entirety of S2 itself is already horrible. Why repeat the storytelling of 5 episodes that already weren't that good, and that we just watched??
Fans were widely disappointed with season 2 and this recap of the season's first half is just another punch in the gut.
If a zero rating existed I would put it, because that describes its value. But it doesn't exist, thus, I dub thee ... a 1/10.

Creators: So, here's the first part of Season 2, did you like it?
Watchers: Thanks, we hated it!
Creators: Great, then we'll show it to ya again!

Look, usually I don't really write reviews (cause I'm lazy) but I really wanted to give a hand to this series. I was kind of confused as well as to why it's got so many bad reviews. Before reading this, I found the historical/royal genre tiring because the female lead almost always ends up becoming the damsel in distress, but the Remarried Empress stood out a lot to me. Empress Navier really does fit her role as a strong and dedicated leader, and she doesn't take crap from anyone, not even her cheating husband or his bratty mistress.

The main antagonist, Trashta, is super annoying ... and no one likes her but that's the point! It helps the readers get a better idea of what the main character is dealing with. The villain can't be likeable in every story! (It's actually kind of funny to watch as she tries and fails to fill Navier's shoes.)

Navier goes through a lot in the first chunk of the manwha, but this makes it all the more satisfying to see her discover true happiness. The plot moves a bit slowly, but in a way that sets up the stage for the story's climax. The male lead is super endearing and cute, although Navier's chemistry with him is a bit awkward and it would be nice to see more details about his backstory

The art is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING, and the characters are beautifully detailed with lots of different outfits (I want to steal Navier's wardrobe). The artist hardly ever gets sloppy or lazy in the design, even with background characters! But it's still done in a way that the leads stand out.
Story: 8/10
