Under The Queen's umbrella has ended and I feel like I'm all lost again. lol But seriously, while watching the last episode 16, I already know to myself that I'm gonna miss this drama once it rolls the ending credits. It's really a good historical drama, that explains how it garnered 16.9% nationwide viewership rating on its finale. It started with a 7.64% nationwide viewership rating with its pilot episode and ends with double digits, just showed how the drama smoothly attracted a lot of viewers along the way. The actors, the plot as well as the exciting fight between Queen (Kim Hye Soo) and Queen Dowager (Kim Hae Sook) really made us all hooked.
The dark time has passed and now the palace became a safe place for everyone. The roles of the King and Queen of a kingdom really was stressed out, depicting what it really meant to have wonderful and competitive leaders to a nation. The serenity can be felt, after all the sacrifices of both the King and Queen. Truthfully, I doubted the King whether he's really gonna punish his own mother, but after the persuasion that the Queen did with him, he finally did what was right and now he has earned my trust and respect. Yes, the Queen did a wonderful role in this successful mission but if the King doesn't possess true wisdom and good heart for a leader, all of it would've went straight down the drain.
Queen is such a wonderful being and it's so beautiful how the ending proved everything. She started as a lone wolf in protecting her children and husband, everyone in the palace and the whole kingdom. But in the end, she finally raised someone that would do the same for her and it's Crowned Prince Seongnam. My tears were edging at the scene where Seongnam shared an umbrella with the Queen and how he does the same gesture that the Queen did to grand prince Gyeseong. That umbrella scene is really a clear manifestation of protection and I love it very much. Now that there's someone else to protect the kingdom with her, she'll pass on that umbrella to the grand heir. It was really a heartwarming scene.
I'm so happy for the Queen that she's safe till the very end. I've been really paranoid about her life when she's so brave in fighting lots of powerful enemies, including Queen Dowager herself. Ahh... it's saddening that prince Gyeseong left her in the palace though but I'm still overjoyed because the Queen has now a lot of people to back her up. The King, her children, the ladies of the palace including the concubines! Gosh, she's so effin' awesome that some of her enemies stood beside her in the end. So cool!!
As for the greedy people in this drama, Queen Dowager, Royal Consort Hwang, Prince Uisung and more, I really pity them so much. It just shows us how we should do only good so that good karma would come around. Queen Dowager, however, really didn't want to lose to anyone so she took her own life instead. That was really awful, she's selfish till the very end. I guess when you grow old like that, it's already hard to change a wicked heart and mind. Sigh... poor King... But I must say, I still cried over her death. I mean, she's still a mother who did everything for her son/child... sad that she did all these in a very cruel and evil way.
Same goes with people who wanted nothing but revenge. Deposed Queen Yoon.. she wanted to avenge her dead children now she lost another because she chose revenge instead of a life with him. It's sad. Life is sad for her.
Overall, I really love this drama and I recommend it to everyone who loves historical drama like this.
