''Under The Queen's Umbrella'' is a KoreanDrama, set during the Joseon Dynasty albeit under a fictionalized, anachronistic setting of it. The series is available to stream on Creator/{{Netflix}} internationally.
Queen Regent Hwaryeong hasn't had it easy. Her four younger sons couldn't care less about their statuses and her husband's seven other sons and their concubine mothers means she's usually running around trying to keep her place in the palace. But when her eldest son the Crown Prince dies due to an illness suddenly everything changes; now his position is up for grabs, and the concubines (along with her mother-in-law, the Queen Dowager) will do anything to place their own prince to be next-in-line. Now Hwaryeong must whip up her sons in shape to take their brother's place or else they're all in danger.

!! ''Under The Queen's Umbrella'' provides examples of:
* GreaterScopeVillain: The Queen Dowager is amazingly both this AND the BigBad.
* RagsToRiches: Consort Tae was a mere court girl until the King found her hot enough to bed and produce Prince Bogum. She may not be queen but it's still a life leagues better than where she was.
* ReallyGetsAround: Other than his official wife, King Yi Ho has '''nine''' cocubines; subsequently he has 11 sons, though only 10 are eligible for Crown Prince as his youngest is barely in his pre-teens.
* SuccessionCrisis: When the Crown Prince dies [[spoiler:(Assassinated by Physician Kwon)]], his place as next-in-line becomes up for grabs. And everyone rushes to place their desired prince there.
