Under the Queen’s Umbrella Episode 5 (슈룹) came out on October 29, 2022, with a runtime of 64 minutes, wherein Kim Hye-soo’s Queen Hwa-ryeong gave everyone a run for their money. Each episode of the series details a stream of praises for the multitalented queen of K-dramas, but this time she took it up a notch and delivered her most explosive performance in the historical drama yet.
The episode covered a lot of ground in terms of the number of exchanges between various characters, situated within as well as outside the palace gates. As the deposed Queen Yoon divulges the true identity of her son’s murderer, the scene foreshadowed the finale of the fifth outing of the series which brought about the impending tragedy to its close while breaking a million hearts in the process.
Fans of the show are already envisioning a brokenhearted Seong-nam coming to terms with the death of his beloved brother, the Crown Prince (Bae In-hyuk), who supported him all through his childhood, secluded from the rest. Moon Sang-min easily climbed up the list of fan-favorite characters from the show right from the beginning and with each episode coming out on the weekend, his charm is only further bewitching the fans.

Hwa-ryeong and the King (Choi Won-young), though driven apart in the initial moments of the episode, finally find a way to see eye to eye, in the end, deeming their son’s protection as their priority as opposed to Queen Dowager who is solely ruled by the thoughts of power and authority. Viewers are highly satisfied with this contrast being portrayed openly after a long time and appreciate the fact that the royal couple has a uniting ground in their love for their sons despite every other politics looming in the background.
As always, the fans instantly rushed to their Twitter accounts to unload their crammed emotions after witnessing the unfortunate event we all knew was inevitably crawling closer but chose to stay in denial about. This marks the closing conclusion of the first chapter of the period drama. The upcoming episodes will overturn the tide and once again dive into the conflicting tussle for the throne. Let’s check out some reactions recorded for the latest episode for the time being.
