UNDER THE QUEEN’S UMBRELLA : A FUNNY YET DARK HISTORICAL DRAMA

Following the story of Joseon royalty, Queen Im Hwa-ryeong (Kim Hye-soo) and King Yi Ho (Choi Won-young), Under the Queen’s Umbrella is an entertaining yet dark South Korean historical drama filled with non-stop scheming and power plays for the throne. After the Crown Prince (Bae In-hyuk) falls ill, the battle for succession of the throne begins. Given that neither of queen’s other 4 sons (Grand Princes) have been raised and educated with the expectation to be King, the sudden illness of the Crown Prince unexpectedly places the lives of his brothers at risk.
