Under the Queen's umbrella. I got recommendations as a woman empowerment series and great motherhood but
1)why the great mother is unaware that her 1st born is ill over a year and constantly losing consciousness?? 2nd ones preferences, intelligence or capability?? 3rd one is transgender?? 4th one's having affair?? 5th one is good for nothing??
And she started discovering her son's when the crown prince got in death bed . So , she doesn't care about her children as long as one of them is securing throne and security??
2) the death of crown prince is absolutely Queen's fault. You're leaving him in the hand of one physician without knowing his origin ?? If she informed the king the prince could have got more physicians so physician known wouldn't dare to experiment poison on him.
3) what's fvcking wrong with crown prince selection?? Is it child's play to do better in college and doing a reality show" who's gonna bring the escaped minister " and why would the ministers choose the crown prince?? It's not like king died so they need to fill the throne immediately and have heir !
A) don't a prince needs to build political power and support of powerful families??
B) getting war achievements and public favour??
C) having strong hold of parts of the empire??
why the a*shole ministers have more saying rather than the king and the achievements of princes ?? it's not a crown scholar selection!
And I do support taekhyon or choosing the more capable one rather than choosing queen's sons even if they are soiled brats .
4) the queen doesn't even have support system after being a queen over 20 years. Concubines have support system better than her .Neither the king ! Sage king my ass more like a puppet king. Ministers are the real king here . The king asking them to stop investigation, harming his children or be partial. They're like " chill dude you're illegitimate, so we won't listen haha " they even has audicity to say queen cheated king and have a son out of affair! They don't care about treason too .
5) umm what about queen Yoon ? I don't blame physician known ( previous grand prince) a little. It would have been one of the best revenge drama from their perspective( like rise of phoenix or nirvana in fire). Okay big baddie ganny died , jealous concubine gone mad . But what's about corrupted ministers ?? Who's gonna give graruntee that another concubine won't poison a crown prince openly with the help of fvcking ministers?? Who's gonna graruntee about crown prince's safety??
6) after doing soo much bas things the dowger queen died without receiving proper punishment or suffering !
7) I don't quite understand why drag the plot soo much . Like what's about the prince being transgender?? The royalty can keep this a secret and let him be , he's a prince after all.... it's not like he's the king or having homosexual relationships! What's about having a child born out of wedlock? It's not uncommon on Those days . And even after crown prince died how can they remain so casual , when they can die at any moment. Other concubines can come and go on their chambers, investigate on queen and her sons soo easily!
8) queen has one crown prince and 4 spoiled brats. Thank God the crown prince thaught his bro otherwise the queen's umbrella has soo many pores that could have been easily drenched her total family in blood........
I personally didn't like it at all . It's soo disappointing. They made politics a joke in order to show the queen's greatness.
