Subsequently, in the newly released character posters; The Empire acquaints viewers with the lead pairing.
On the poster of Han Hye-ryul, she exudes a sophisticated aura. While putting on lipstick, her gaze shows an unwanted visitor who invaded her private space.
The phrase “the one who possesses everything” aligns with her commanding presence. With enormous wealth and power in her hands that ordinary people can never afford, she can use it as she pleases.
Interestingly, the suspicious image of Hye-ryul’s husband and law school professor Na Geun-woo, unabashedly reveals his desires. His situation as the next major power runner poses a question of sincerity to his wife.
The text of his poster says: “All I want is to be subordinate to you.” But his expression says otherwise.
