[HanCinema's Drama Review] "Under the Queen's Umbrella" Episode 1
By William Schwartz | Published on
Queen Im (played by Kim Hye-soo) is, in theory, one of the most powerful people in Joseon. She's the legal wife of King Yi (played by Choi Won-young), and the mother of the indisputed crown prince (played by Bae In-hyuk). Yet "Under the Queen's Umbrella" opens up with Queen Im hunting down Grand Prince Muan (played by Yoon Sang-hyeon), who's damaging his mother's reputation by spending late nights out with attractive women instead of getting ready for class.
