Under the Queen's Umbrella - Netflix Series

Under the Queen's Umbrella | Official Trailer | Netflix
The Swoon

Here we go again with another Korean historical drama involving machinations in the royal court. It's mostly about the queen, the king's mother and the king's ten other wives and all the petty and not so petty intrigue going on. The king's mother seems to very pleasant on the surface, but it is slowly being revealed that underneath she is a murderous thug, just like everyone who has climbed to the top of the heap. The king's wives are all trying to promote their sons into positions of power, but like all teenage boys they just want to get out of the palace where they are confined and are constantly being watched. So far they haven't figured out that they are just pawns in this real life chess game and their lives may be forfeit if they are not played correctly.

Seems like we have seen a bunch of these kind of shows. I mean I'm starting to recognize some of the buildings and the costumes are all very similar. From the way they look they all seem to be set right around the same time. Shoot some of them may be about the same exact events, just told from a different point of view.
