In both we have Crown Princes fighting for their position, court politics and intrigue. Our Blooming Youth seems a bit darker and mystery driven, then Under the Queen´s Umbrella . Still if you want a Palace Drama with well written characters, a fast pace and an exciting story, then Under the Queen´s Umbrella IS IT.
