Papel de Rainha (2022)

Obra prima!

Não tem outra definição pra esse drama além de obra prima. Tudo é excelente: a direção, a trilha sonora, as atuações... enfim, tudo! Como só vi comentários em inglês, decidi escrever essa review em português pra todos os meus parceiros brasileiros que não sabem o que esperar desse drama.
Confesso que adiei assistir diversas vezes. Não tenho o costume de assistir doramas do período Joseon, por isso estava com medo de não gostar, mas nossa... Devia ter assistido antes! A história não deixa pontas soltas e nos apresenta uma protagonista forte, corajosa e extremamente digna, que faria o impossível pra proteger os filhos (que são os mais encrenqueiros da corte). Nesse dorama você encontrará de tudo: um drama político extenso que vai sempre te deixar curioso pra o que vai acontecer, um drama familiar muito bem construído e cativante (o que mais me prendeu pra assistir foi o relacionamento da rainha com os filhos), um pouco de romance (ainda que não seja o foco da história, o romance apresentado é MUITO fofo) e um pouco de comédia (que serve como um alívio cômico pra todas as intrigas).
A história é muito bem balanceada, com início, meio e fim, apesar de ter me deixado desejosa de uma segunda temporada.
Essa também foi a primeira vez que fui atrás da OST de um dorama, pois a trilha sonora complementa perfeitamente as cenas, sendo uma música mais linda com a outra (principalmente By Your Side e Child - meu Deus, essas músicas arrepiam dos pés à cabeça).
Enfim, se vocês assistirem com certeza não vão se arrepender. Entrou pro meu top 3 doramas preferidos da vida.

The Drama of 2022 That Has Everything You Could Ever Want

I think it's safe to say this is one of the best things I've ever seen.
I loved this drama so much.
I've never written any reviews on here before, but I think this one deserves it.

The drama has ended, but it will always be with me.
I was sceptical about the drama having only "16" episodes (there were so many stones unturned), but everything was executed well.
They gave us an excellent, satisfying ending; it has to be one of my favourites. Everything tied together perfectly at the end.
I have a lot of respect for the writer; it was their first drama, yet all the elements were perfect, and they included so much in just 16 episodes!

The characters were all complex and interesting.
I love Kim Hye Soo, and she was brilliant in this. Her character is one of the best female leads I've seen. She's strong, understanding, kind, and just the best. All of the Grand Princes were perfect; they had their flaws, but that's what made them so lovable. I adored getting to know them and their stories.
All of the characters were fantastic, including the Queen Dowager in all her evil glory (I despise her guts, but her character is admirable).

I think Under The Queen's Umbrella is severely underrated; people automatically deem it boring because it's a historical, but I have to say, I never felt bored, not even for a second.
This is one of those gems that surpasses all your expectations. (Even though I actually had a lot of expectations because I love Kim Hye Soo)
Historicals have a stereotype, one of being boring, but sometimes you need to look at the broader picture and give things a shot.

This drama is full of everything you could want: mystery, action, romance, politics, strong characters, and more!
This was a heartwarming and lovely show, and it is one I will rewatch time and time again.
Highly, highly recommended!

If it's not obvious already, I give it a 10/10.
No, scratch that; this drama deserves a 1000/10. (I still can't believe it is the writer's first drama. Everything, and I mean everything, was perfect.)
