Like everyone else I feel the end was rushed and not thought out. Why would I want to watch something when there are no stakes for a plot that should have all the stakes? So-woon had sobbed that if Ha Suns body wasnt there, he must be alive somewhere. We the fans who stuck with MLSHR to the end instead of MLDBC, did it simply because of the lost potential that shone through the mess time to time, not because it was a better drama than MLDBC. We got to see one measly flashback of Yi Heon and the Queen early in their marriage before he started going off the deep end. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. The same night during a family game, one of the daughters finds the entrance to an eerie cellar - which Roger inspects immediately but finds nothing. Unfortunately, the drama version ending didn't give us much closure and added more questions that needed to be answer. He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here now. I mean, i dropped this show about halfway through so I didn't watch the back half. . Once again sweeping this fact under the rug. Which means they both died. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page I could have accepted that, though, because Ha Seon only wanted the power to protect the people he loved, and his sister and the ahjae were safe, so he succeeded and then felt it would be better to hand over the throne to someone more suitable. Minister Shin manages to growl, You lowly clown before Ha Sun yanks back his sword and slashes his throat. Ha Sun tells Minister Shin, I will take your life and make you pay for stealing my letter, putting the border at risk, and endangering the capital for your personal gain.. He was always so twitchily suspicious that I can't believe he just stood there as Haksan grabbed a guard's sword and charged at him. To me they always make for a cliched and boring ending. It made it interesting. This is a Absurd. Thanks @kiara and @pakalanapikake for all your comments during the run of THE CROWNED CLOWN. A pathetic attempt at last minute drama for characters I no longer care about and a plot that I think is fundamentally flawed only solidifies my opinion that this drama is written stupidly, and badly. Shin Chi Soo, Queen Dowager and Prince Jinpyeong(?) So what if youre a prince. They knew from the beginning that Ha Sun will have to step down. It was an enjoyable show, very pretty. He holds his own well, but neither of them sees the archers who sneak around behind Ha Sun and fire two arrows into his back. The point I was trying to make in this essay, is that I think The Crowned Clown has objectively bad writing flaws- namely Yi Heon is an example of bad character writing, whether he dies or not (@leetennant) Voc sabe quem mandou matar o Ha Seon no final da srie? His weaknesses. The upcoming CHRONICLES OF ASDAL, set during Gojoseon days.) Legacy? Here, I'm justwhat is even there to say? Both of them walked right into Ha Sun's traps. You didn't like it that doesn't mean others shouldn't like it. Ha Sun watches, horrified, as Minister Lee grabs a sword from a guard and runs Prince Jin-pyung through, taking several sword wounds in the back himself. Because they do make sense. The Crowned Clown: Episode 16 (Final) by LollyPip It's time for our clown to sink or swim on his own, and one wrong move could mean his death and the death of everyone he cares about. It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. I was sorely disappointed by the ending. I felt so angry that the ending felt like some type of trap for me. I really loved this show, but they botched it in the end. The queen dowager grows nervous when things are quiet for too long, but then a soldier runs in to tell her excitedly that they stormed the palace and captured the impostor king. Thank you. They just wanted to show the Clown as King. all had loyal supporters! This was my first YJG drama and it is hard to believe he is only 21 years old. But we are inevitably always going to reach an impasse @shaani. The decoy is a clown who happens to be the king's doppelgnger. I personaly don't like doppelganger stories because they often are not very good or end not very well like Big, Are You Human Too, The Honor, Jeckyl, Hyde and Me (not a doppelganger but same principe). As Moo-young falls, he recalls Ha Sun asking him what his greatest wish in life is. I love the show, but they have to redo the ending!!! It didn't turn out to be a bad drama, but it's not like I missed something important! I loved this drama as you said it wasn't perfect in every way but still it was great in many ways. Both were major distress-inducers.) Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Sicarius' point is that the doppelgnger plot became irrelevant once they killed off one of the doppelgngers and so the central source of conflict - the fact that the Clown was an imposter- was removed. It made me think that the PD doesn't have enough control over one of the most important departments of a Sageuk, which is Wardrobe and aesthetics department. Bonus points if it's a sageuk. I've seen a lot of fictional sageuks but they all stuck with their time period. She notes that this is her first time seeing the throne in person, and that Prince Yul is dead, but her blood will soon sit on the throne. I have seen a lot if historical dramas because i generally like historical/costume dramas and this is certainly a drama that i really enjoyed. This probably means I have to watch "Vincenzo" to find out what Kim Hee-won's visual style is.) And nobody likes him anyway, right? It was a beautiful journey, and when the last episode ended I felt a little sad to say goodbye to them all. I was still bitter with how they made the Kisaeng wait for Haksan for 20 years then bam Haksan's dead just when she thought she had a happy ending now this :/. For me the biggest issue wasnt necessarily killing the king off in and of itself (although I do agree that things could have been so much more interesting with more interaction between him and Ha Seon). I must have been bonkers. Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. Ugh! A character as significant and prominent as the King, doesnt even have to be on screen for anything that happens to him to be very important to how your plot plays out if you want your plot to make sense. I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. If it was a challenge to my Sageuk Sages @kiara and @pakalanapikake then this sageuk punk is in good company. And with the way Hasun suddenly reappeared and the Queen didn't even ask him where he was, only asked what took him so long?? My favourite scene was the goodbyes between Eunuch Jo and the Clown, I really loved their relationship. It would have been nice to have more info on who retrieved his body and nursed him back to health and where. The whole idea was for the clown to step in temporarily because they are bound by the custom and rules of that time period. To show how good and righteous the Clown was? That scenario would have created a lot of edge, suspense and sadness without killing a character for clout. Thanks for noting that Yoon Park portrayed Ha Sun's successor, Lord Giseong. . It's not that King Loves is terrible, but if you put MLDBC, MLSHR and KL on a scale, KL veers more towards the extreme that is occupied by MLSHR, instead of the MLDBC extreme. There's no fault in loving faulty things, but you have to see them for what they actually are. And the King only died because the King was a plot device and the King was only a plot device because this show, and its writers, are frakking stupid.~) I enjoyed this more than most of the sageuks I've seen. But I dont know the Clown. I was glad that Ho-sun and the Queen finally got together but the ending sounded more eternal due to the mist and not quite earthy. I was interested in Moon Lovers, but when I read only bad comments, I searched for synopsis and ending and actually it had so much so much potential that it's a pity it went that way. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. The first scene in this episode sets the tone. In comparison, I was passionately and unequivocally committed to REBEL for the entire run of that show. So-woon insists, saying that shes enjoyed hearing about someone she admires. Sigh. Recaps done buy the Sageuk Queen HeadsNo.2 (We miss you, @headsno2 ) and filled with the snarkiest comments and jokes, most creative beanie poems, enjoyable analysis and historical trivia, all provided by the most fun, experienced and intellectual beanies EVER to date. No no. Please enter your username or email address. If you want to tell a story about a Clown being King, do NOT make that ENTIRE premise hinge on a single character and then treat him as a plot device! What was the point? There almost were- with the Queen almost committing suicide out of guilt, Shin almost exposing the Clown as a fake, and Ha Seon finding out Haksan killed the king. Very sad but thoroughly enjoyed the series. It makes me soooo maaadddd!!! Sorry if I might be nitpicking, but along with Jang's death, I even felt betrayed by So Woon's initial reaction to Ha Sun. Thank you for the suggestion, @marcusnyc20, I will try Haechi in the future :), Congrats on your 1st Sageuk! She meets with Minister Shin, upset about how things went this morning, because when Prince Jin-pyung dies his soldiers will be demotivated. My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. What does a clown symbolize? It wasnt explicitly said, but I believe that once he had gotten revenge on Minister Shin and the queen dowager, he realized that hed been using the throne for his own personal reasons and thats why he abdicated to someone who could truly put the country first. I said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? It was the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. Was she too pure to have sex? The acting was superb, the scenery was beautiful and the story was different from its source material. I was relieved that he survived the rebellion, and presumably will serve the new king for years to come. Though I really feel bad for our queen. If you want to tell a story about a Clown being King, do NOT make that ENTIRE premise hinge on a single character and then treat him as a plot device! I loved the show but we need to know How he survived. The last 15mins is just drama just for the sake of drama. Predictable and flat waiting period for the queen. Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. The Crowned Clown Season 1 2019 16+ A low-class commoner clown, sits in the throne of the King who is in peril of losing his country. In fact it reached 2 digit ratings even afterwards. So I dropped it. . C) Most of what could have been a semi-satisfactory end to a once potentially good show ended up being So Woon wandering around in tears because she thought her husband was dead, which surprise! That is the amount of respect or rather fear a king was able to inflict upon others in those days. But I guess they all live together happily ever after. I am glad you enjoyed TCC. I found the ending a little stretched don't get me wrong, I always want happy endings and in this case a life as commoners for Ha-Seon and the Queen, but it seemed to me that the story was wrapped up that way to create suspense about Ha-Seon fate (and, I think, to give us assurance that his life will be safe in the future). I just wish I could have commented more on CROWNED CLOWN, but the mental fatigue was real. He was responsible for the Queen Dowagers, Shin Chi Soo and the Princes deaths, plus the real King was a complete madman who was responsible for the Queen Dowagers fathers death and his half brothers death and many other atrocious things. It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. It's like you've scooped every single thought I had about this waste of potential right out of my brain and put it in better words. 3.2/4 And do not had any problem wit it. Gap-soo and Dal-lae have rejoined their clown troupe. Could it be that Lee Kyoung-young's recent turn as the Big Bad in supernatural thriller ROOM NO. But still if you look exactly like the king and sitting on the throne no one would dare to question you, unless you are bold like shin and he knew what he was talking about. He reminds her that he made her promise never to harm herself, and says that hes returning the knife only so she can protect herself, but she says that she intends to keep her word. SO many eye rolling inconsistencies with the time period it took me right out of the whole story but I enjoyed half it at least thanks to the actors. 4 Jul 2021. What, he doesnt get to benefit from the magic two year time leap ? After 15 episodes of drama, tension and romance we finally reach the conclusive chapter to this historical Korean show. Did he not know that one was a royal twin (considered bad luck?) Working myself into a lather wasn't good for me. Moo-young yanks the sword from his own belly and uses it to kill the last assassin, as Ha Sun sinks to the ground. The Clown manages to fluke his way out of the accusations (without anyone on his side dying), and then the Villains lead a rebellion that is entirely unsuccessful and was executed without intelligence so that the Good Guys (lol) can win very easily and eliminate all threats, in the space of about 20 minutes, as if the last fifteen episodes of well, drama, mean absolutely nothing. I am relatively new to historical dramas but I am enjoying them. Irrelevant time frame. But i am happy to see in other forums and under youtube comments majority liked it. Nevertheless, it takes me a while to get my thoughts in order, so I don't comment in a timely fashion. Nor can I believe that Prince Jin-pyung would have been caught so flat-footed at the outdoor assembly. That relationship? All seems well and as Officer Jang vows to stand by Ha Suns side no matter what, assassins appear to avenge Queen Dowager resulting in both Officer Jang and Ha Sun suffering a terrible fate. Perhaps because of unavoidable comparison, CROWNED CLOWN has come up a bit short. Shes decided to leave the gibang, and she tells Ho-geol that she intends to travel and just enjoy life for a while. Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. She walks out of the village and into a field to think, carrying one of her wishing hazelnuts with her. Yeahthere should be a flash back. Give me a break. Thanks s lot for this essay! Thank you for recapping CROWNED CLOWN, @lollypip, especially as it is not the only drama on your plate. Hurting herself means kind of killing herself and finding him in afterlife i guess but i don't think thats how it happened. One that is like a wolf trying to be a sheep and telling everyone that it is a sheep, when its actually still a wolf. also the end was dreamlike, similar to the soft focus happy endings of Crash Landing on You but were these true endings or just wishful thinking? It did its intended purpose. At first, for a while, I thought that when he finally learned the truth about Yi Heon dying, he would be the one to kill Haksan. For sure an emotional roller coaster ride. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Would have been nice if Officer Jang could have had a chance at a normal life. Monk Jung Saeng agrees that Minister Lee wouldnt want them to die for nothing. In the end, she didn't even feel part of the family; she wasn't welcome. No one would let a lowborn guy like him to rule if he was not able to fool everyone to think he is the king. I realize that it was to his advantage to have his enemies think he was dead, but for the life of me, I cannot see how he could have lived. However, the clown is a dual symbol. But thank goodness after 2 long and nobody changing years, the Clown has miraculously woken from coma. He believes that nobody should sit on the throne who wants to use it for personal gain, and that he wants to step down because he wants to go back to being one of the people. A character as significant and prominent as the King, doesnt even have to be on screen for anything that happens to him to be very important to how your plot plays out if you want your plot to make sense. @kurama, They showed a lot of "dream-like" features for that last scene in particular which suggested how they both died and are actually meeting at the after life : ( ( ( (. The Crowned Clown surpasses the movie masquerade in every level. And OOC*. I thought I would have caught up through at least ep. He takes the throne and the queen dowager looks frightened, but shes relieved when Lord Younghwa, her choice for king, also enters the room. The part that pleased me was when he went to the first tournament and how cleverly he won during archery, or with the dog having that tiger cloth near his hand to confuse the dogs. In the past, I've gotten myself in a swivet over dramas I was deeply invested in that later derailed or otherwise succumbed to out-of-character behavior, illogical happy endings, etc., etc. Because the show you THOUGHT you were getting, the doppelganger plot with the tension and juxtaposition created by that, is actually a different show altogether. What if she had killed herself in that field and seeing him was an illusion? And Ill always be confused why the queen dowager knew that Ha Sun was an impostor, but she spoke to him as if he were Yi Heon (saying that he killed Prince Yul and stole the throne), when she had the chance to out him to the entire court. And it becomes very boring to watch. What type of clown is Pennywise? Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? The viewers would simply accept it as a bittersweet fate in a sad destiny. After all if the really great episodes the ending was puzzling. I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. Distracted, Moo-young tries to get to Ha Sun, but hes stopped by a sword through the chest. What do you think is better? I'm glad to be live-watching along with everyone now. The Perron family is greeted by evil just as they arrive at the farmhouse. Nobody knows why. Prince Jin-pyung lies alone, bleeding and gasping for water. I have no qualms about it. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. With a satisfying conclusion and impressive cinematography throughout, this Korean drama makes for quite the impressive showing. He gave an incredible performance; In order to escape those who plan to assassinate him, the King puts a clown, who looks exactly like him, on the throne. And no maid will serve you water if youre not Team Good. Find Dal Rae? On his way to meet up with So-woon, Ha Sun senses someone behind him and whirls but whew, its only Moo-young. In the summer of 1997, Diana did take her. But Ha Sun stabs him in the belly, declaring that the price for killing Minister Lee is his death. }); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Please enter your username or email address. The problem is that the rebels have almost ten times the number of soldiers as Ha Sun, so Moo-young suggests that he smuggle Ha Sun and So-woon out of the palace. Not as many ribbons and bows that way, but also no time skip that leaves more unanswered questions. Mohamed Al-Fayed's expectations for his son Dodi are the cliff upon which Season 5 leaves its audience hanging. I cannot believe that Lord Shin would have allowed himself to walk into a trap. And after all that complaining, that was where it truly felt like an ending, except for what happened during those two years. Minister Lee didn't see himself as a hero but more like a tool for his country not good or bad but useful. How did he suddenly appear by chance in that deserted field? Thank you @lollypip for the recap! We can write what we want but everyone involved in it worked really hard to bring this to life. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. Minister Lee was doing it to create a better world, and he never denied that what he was doing was wrong he accepted that he would be punished, but he was willing to sacrifice himself for his country. The dog keeps . That being said I don't believe TCC passes either the probability or possibility test. One of these days I intend to watch SHIN DON, which may overlap with JEONG DO JEON. Ha Sun travels with Lord Giseong and sees people hard at work in a field. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. I was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. Connect with Facebook That was during my first DB live-watch, OH HAE-YOUNG AGAIN, which got into some trippy metaphysics. Did he wish on one of his hazelnuts?! Lee Bang-won in Six Flying Dragons who murdered his mentor and is thus one of my favorite characters of all time). Everything was inconsistent. (Translation: It takes more energy and attention than I can muster at the time.) ;-). LollyPip, thanks for the recap. I read the rest afterwards but i still have to say the same. On the other hand, last week I finished reading the existing 106 chapters of the translation of NIRVANA IN FIRE, and am looking forward to commencing that watch when I'm current with HAECHI. The ending, although not a disaster, definitely needs to be reworked. But its not a secret to the close people to them. Gapsu raised the two kids but how did that happen? Stars Yeo Jin-gu Se-yeong Lee Kim Sang-kyung See production, box office & company info Watch on Prime Video Another example would be the queen: after her suicide cliff attempt, she acted like shed been married to Ha Seon all along instead of Yi Heon. He says that she hasnt been officially deposed yet, so shes still of higher status than the king, and can order him to dethrone the traitor clown. The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring. appId : '127538621120543', However, they should have shown the Queen passing on so that Ho-Sun could have been stated met her in the afterlife. Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. She asks the little girl where she learned to make a wish like that, and the girl says a man who was passing by taught her. 3/4 Ha Sun receives a message that the border situation has turned dangerous and Aisin Gurun may attack, since they never received Minister Lees peace letter. The episode ends with a long anticipated reunion and one final glimpse of the sunset. Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that! I hope you get to see many many wonderful sageuks in the future!, Thank you very much, @peony!!! Then not explain the gap of two years And how exactly was she able to leave the palace and not return to her family home or hie herself to a nunnery as she had told Daebi that she would do? It showed his relationships. Which is why it is still very (in)famous, known as the "MLSHR Phenomenon". You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. Why did he leave the palace without guards? I'm relieved to know that you, too, find HAECHI a mental bandwidth hog. Both Moo-young and Eunuch Jo advise Ha Sun to have him come to the capital to protect him, but Ha Sun says that people will be killed if Aisin Gurun attacks. ;-). Whether or not he was a lost cause because of his addictions, whether or not he was a bad husband or a bad King, is not relevant. She promises not to get any closer if he just stays where he is this time. Yes @kiara. It has been a pleasure. Unnecessary death of the officer. Poor Moo-young is hurt that Ha Sun tried to leave him behind, and Ha Sun marvels, You really have fallen for me! LOL, that joke never gets old. Unmoved by her tirade, Ha Sun says calmly that hell endure the results of his own sins, and she should do the same. Because whoever Yi Heon was, according to the makers of this show, no longer matters. I am waiting for several upcoming dramas. Instead of the time jump etc. And your flimsy attempts at trying to justify this by saying that Ha Seon was better than Yi Heon and would never succumb to what Yi Heon did, mean nothing if you refuse to develop Yi Heon as a character! Can you guys recommend me another good political show? It was pretty good Korean Soap Opera but so much tragedy and I did want Haskan to have survived for his happy ending but not to be. The Crowned Clown [1] ( Korean : ) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Yeo Jin-goo, Kim Sang-kyung, and Lee Se-young. Jang Gwang. Eunuch Jo brings Ha Sun a scroll, and he reads the hanja himself as he announces that for the queen dowagers crimes of harming the queen, ordering Lord Yoos assassination, and leading the rebel forces, she is officially deposed and ordered to drink poison. HAECHI is my only live watch right now. I agree regarding Moo Youngs death. The show had its flaws, as they all do. And I loved the drums. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Here is hoping that they'll space out the upcoming sageuks. But i liked the way things happened in this drama as well. I know its a tragedy but why so confusing. I doubt the ministers were this stupid not to reveal something that they know to be true. The soundtrack and instrumental music was lovely, and enhanced the action. (In case you don't know, it's a weekly article we had then to publish the BEST comments of the week. created an account to say, I totally agree with you. The Crown season 5 ending explained. That's a leap as big as Everest, but okay, fine. Gap-soo is crediting this wise king for the current peace in the nation when So-woon arrives, and when the king in his red robes and mask dances, she smiles wistfully. The old grey mare ain't what she used to be. She follows him, but eventually realizes that hes a stranger. I have not seen the movie. Couldnt stop watching. I give it a 10+++. On the latest episode of the tvN drama "The Crowned Clown", the fight for authority over Joseon continued, but not without a little romance thrown in between the battles..

A verification email has been sent to your new email address. He does as So-woon asks and sends her from the palace to wait for him while he ties up some loose ends, and they arrange to meet in the village soon.

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these recaps. Let me say it again. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, He stands before Minister Lees casket one last time, remembering his friend saying that he taught him about the importance of trust and bowing to him as his king.
