Regarding the issue that "The Last Empress" is directed byJoo Dong-min who was involved with the issues surrounding "Return" by replacing the leading actress, Shin Sung-rok said, "This will be his signature drama and he communicates with everyone on set".

"The Last Empress" begins on the 21st of November.
