“Under the Queen’s Umbrella” is my top pick of 2022. If you’re looking for a fantastic series, this historical drama is difficult to beat. Kim Hye-soo is magnificent as a queen whose sons’ lives (and her own) are in danger if the Crown Prince dies. Go to Full Review Liz Kocan Decider 10/19/2022

4/5
Syringed with clear-cut lines drawn between good and evil, cynical and kindhearted, everything is easily accessible, a commendable feat given the breadth of characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kristy T Oct 14 I kept seeing this series pop up on my recommended page and finally gave it a chance and honestly I’m so glad I did because it is such an amazing drama!! It kept me on my toes the whole time I couldn’t wait for the next episode, it’s a really well thought out show! This drama had a little bit of everything comedy, thriller, seriousness. It is a very well balanced series. I recommend 10/10 specially, if you love historical dramas! The princes & all the actors were casted perfectly!
