They are both heavily political dramas where the main character, serving as Acting President/President, must bring criminals to justice within a limited time, while managing the country's turmoil.

Similar to Moo Jin, Sang Pil knows little of politics, but is thrown into an occupation in the field due to unforseen circumstances. Both dramas deal with protagonists in new jobs who navigate them with sincerity and grace. The found family trope is also strong in both dramas, and the characters have great sets of support systems around them!

After the sudden death of the beloved and important figure to their nation, someone needs to fulfill the role of the new ruler.

In Under the Queen’s Umbrella, the queen trains her four sons to become the next crown prince. If she doesn’t succeed, she will be kicked from her throne and her queen title will be taken from her. More importantly, she will never find out who killed her first son, the late crown prince.

In Designated Survivors: 60 Days, the Minister of Environment has no choice but to take on the role of the president of South Korea. Day after day, new problems arise that could terrorize the country. Though he succeeds to keep the country safe, he has no time to catch his breath. They still don’t know who planned the bombing of the National Assembly, killing the entire cabinet (the president and all ministers) except for himself. Time is ticking, because the next “bomb” is about to set off.

Both shows have a strong, good hearted main character supported by an amazing team. They inspire everyone remain positive and hopeful. Their wittines helps them to confidently deal with any problem thrown at them.... even treason!
