Kim Hye Soo is returning to the small screen as the “ideal” queen in the new tvN drama The Queen’s Umbrella.
On Friday, tvN unveiled the first still photos of Kim Hye Soo as Queen Hwaryeong. The photos captured the colorful moments of Hwaryeong. In one photo, she exudes the dignity of the queen, while in another photo, a court lady is trying to stop her. Then in the last photo, Hwaryeong falls to her knees in the middle of the rain, not as a queen but as a mother.
The Queen’s Umbrella follows the conflict within the palace to make the troublemaker princes, who cause nothing but headaches for the royal family, into proper crown princes. As the mother of the troublemakers, Queen Hwaryeong has thrown aside her “grace” a long ago. Now, she’s best known as the quickest person in the palace.
“Hwaryeong is a person with the greatest power of love,” Kim Hye Soo explained. “She willingly faces the rain and wind to protect her loved ones. She sticks to the principles but is not narrow. She’s more awake than anyone in that era.” She went on to say, “She’s intuitive but also prudent, daring, and fast. She’s even witty.”
The Queen’s Umbrella will premiere next month.
