By making Cray Cray entirely an insane drug addict, they set the bar for the Clown's superiority so damn low - because who can't top "insane drug addict" as an alternative ruler. I also accepted, that the king had to be eliminated for the greater good. It's taking all my concentration, too. Or change the two years to two weeks. Nevertheless, it takes me a while to get my thoughts in order, so I don't comment in a timely fashion. It would be boring if we knew what happens on the whole drama in a preview. Thanks @kiara and @pakalanapikake for all your comments during the run of THE CROWNED CLOWN. Eventually, the rice payment law goes into effect in a few southern provinces to begin. The show had its flaws, as they all do. But, instead of Ha Seon finding his sister and the ahjae and living happily ever after with them and So Woon, which I thought would be logical progression It was about the time due to the constant conflict among the delegates of his courts. That was during my first DB live-watch, OH HAE-YOUNG AGAIN, which got into some trippy metaphysics. It was a beautiful journey, and when the last episode ended I felt a little sad to say goodbye to them all. The Crowned Clown (Episode 16, Finale) Drama: The Crowned Clown (English title) / Man Who Become King (Literal) Orignal name: / Wangyi Doen Namja Director: Kim Hee-Won Writer: Kim Sun-Deok, Shin Ha-Eun Network: tvN Episodes: 16 Release Date: January 7 -- March 4, 2019 Yes @kiara. But I dont know the Clown. Maybe even shown the Queen's Lady having a hint of interest in him. Why didnt the Queen let his sister know who she was, Also I was also confused at how Shin got back in the palace back in his uniform for the assembly meeting when he broke out of jail And was sentenced to death, Because I loved the drama so much and was on the edge of my seat I was expecting a Scarlet Heart type ending or Queen for Seven Days even but do t get this one at all but would still give it 9/10. 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. It reduced the second most important character to a plot device and resulted in him being poorly characterised. I learned a LOT back then. I will remember his Eunuch Jo for a long time. Dal-Rae and the entertainers continue to please the masses while the new King successfully implements the Dae Dong Policy across the region. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); It signalled me that it's highly probable he doesn't have enough control over the other departments either, which are Plot Consistency, Believability and Execution. I don't care how emotionally satisfying others may find the ending, two years in a coma without modern medicine is just so absurd it takes me right out of the story. Royalty? She asks him to absolve her of her title first, so that instead of becoming the queen dowager and staying in the palace, she can go away and wait for him to join her. Or am I confused? Thats not all though as we soon find out. I was expecting more repercussions and a deeper analysis into these morally grey characters, but their actions, especially the murder of Yi Heon, were brushed over in simple strokes, diminishing the weight and impact of these moments. 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? Jong-rim and Jae-gu, who got to take the civil service exam because of Minister Lee, offer to help Ho-geol get revenge, but Ho-geol says theyll only lose their lives. She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. Monk Jung Saeng agrees that Minister Lee wouldnt want them to die for nothing. The ending is meh.. And even I would be interested, and was interested, in seeing what this story looks like. Anyway since i have heard of this king and his door keeper story since childhood the concept wasn't that new to me. My take on the ending is that they reunited in death. But I dont know the Clown. It showed his past. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Please enter your username or email address. 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. Nothing like watching our protagonist send off his master in the most glorious way to jerk some priceless tears. What? He pauses in the courtyard for just a moment, then steps off the brick path and walks away, a relaxed smile on his face for the first time in years. Yes me too. Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that! That is the amount of respect or rather fear a king was able to inflict upon others in those days. The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring. Finally they live happily ever after. For those who are interested and have watched the whole drama, I wrote an essay on why I interpreted it as a tragedy: file:///Users/zozosparklesicloud.com/Downloads/The%20Crowned%20Clown%20(1).pdf. Here is hoping that they'll space out the upcoming sageuks. He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. 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. }); I also hated that the poor mom who had his son killed by the previous king had no retribution at all. I guess my only questions are: Why? I think that was an unfortunate oversight. 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. Even once a few people found out about Ha Seons identity, they for the most part just went on treating him like he was the real king all along, like Yi Heon didnt exist. Im not usually a fan of vampire shows, but now I want that alternative ending/sequel. No kiss for the finale? Because I think writing can be objectively bad, and no matter how many times I try and prove this, back it up with philosophical and canon evidence, you, and half this comment section, are always going to think something being bad is relative and subjective; only opinion and perspective. General Kang asks whether he should bring his men to the capital or prepare to fight at the border. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 I've watched enough sageuks to understand the ethos even if I don't always personally agree with it, and am disturbed when social conventions and obligations of earlier historical periods are flouted, or treated as if they don't exist. So, I'm genuinely happy you got CROWNED CLOWN as your 1st Sageuk. To show how good and righteous the Clown was? After a brief recap to the events of last week, we begin with Queen Dowager and the former Left State Minister plotting their next move. Shes the most despicable queen dowager ever, worth being poisoned to death immediately afterwards. Dodi wants his father to meet his girlfriend Kelly, an . Then the death of Officer Jang and the unnecessary pain the Queen had to go through while grieving for Hasun. Welcome to the world of sageuks. 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. The queen dowager refuses to be led away, and walks out under her own power. 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. Showing Haksan in such slow-motion looked a bit off to me. In comparison, I was passionately and unequivocally committed to REBEL for the entire run of that show. The makers of this show (and I assume the movie) decided to show that story by means of a doppelganger plot. Unfortunately, the drama version ending didn't give us much closure and added more questions that needed to be answer. But overall i really had fun and thrill watching it. In the dark of night, Minister Shin leads the rebel soldiers to the palace gates and orders them to kill the tyrant king. Shin Chi Soo, Queen Dowager and Prince Jinpyeong(?) Let me say it again. At the end of its fifth season, The Crown has taken viewers through much of the turmoil and strife that engulfed the royal family over the course of that . She asks why hes here and not Minister Shin, and he says that Minister Shin fell in battle, but that theyve got the king locked up. It's also funny how if you have slip up and say it backwards (like I often have), and you happen to say the word as spoonerism ( Clowned Crown) it still manages to highlight some of the show. In this video, we give a full ending expla. I had to chuckle over his interpretation of Ha Sun's name ("summer fairy"). Thank you for recapping CROWNED CLOWN, @lollypip, especially as it is not the only drama on your plate. Gimme a break! It was a character with a vision for his country. If it was any other drama it would gain only a few comments which would decrease over time, but MLSHR had 2000 comments within few hours even during the last episodes!! I too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. It makes me soooo maaadddd!!! 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. Also I don't see why kill Moo Young in the last moment right when he had finally accepted Ha-Sun as his Master, it felt out of the blue. ;-). What was the point? The cliffhangers and the drums-terrific; and But the Clown woke him up and he realized he could do good for korean people. It was like he was never her childhood friend or first love, it was like her past husband never existed once the Clown declared his love for her. 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. She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. We learn that the soldiers who arrived just in time were General Kims, Lord Yoos old friend. In order to escape those who plan to assassinate him, the King puts a clown, who looks exactly like him, on the throne. He didnt die for any plot related reasons. Auwe! Required fields are marked *. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. @lovepark, I agree with you, especially with regard to: it was a bold move for the show to have Lee Kyu kill the king in secret and become the "king" from the shadows. But then they killed Yi Heon off, and Ha Sun was just too inconsequential for me. Moo-young declares that hes going with Ha Sun, and none too soon because only seconds later, he whips out his sword and goes after the assassins that have been following Ha Sun. It would have been interesting to see him evolving and becoming paranoid. Sorry for the late reply! What a load of crap! I must have been bonkers. A few final thoughts: I've seen a lot of fictional sageuks but they all stuck with their time period. He falls to the ground, and although Moo-young tries to hold Ha Sun back, he breaks away and runs to cradle Minister Lees head in his arms. You're a neophyte. My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. From shock and tension through to sadness and bittersweet goodbyes, this 75 minute episode encapsulated everything Ive loved about this show since I begun covering it 2 months ago. He gives her a gift the knife that she almost used to take her own life when they first met. Mohamed Al-Fayed's expectations for his son Dodi are the cliff upon which Season 5 leaves its audience hanging. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; But we are inevitably always going to reach an impasse @shaani. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; 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. Yeah, I was all set to accept this final episode as whatever, its over and forget about it. Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time. The Queen- The Clown saved the Queen, thus the Queen forgave him, and then also abandoned the King as a pre existing character. And some shows just seem to have an initial hump that I have to get over before they draw me in but then from there on out it's smooth sailing. Because there were no consequences for the King as a pre-existing character. Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. Because I can't do history as well as kiara nor Sageuk reviewing like HeadsNo2, I'll comment upon my forte. I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). Thanks for noting that Yoon Park portrayed Ha Sun's successor, Lord Giseong.

In the history of my country we had a doppelganger fake king ruling for 6 years. It felt like I was really grinding my gears when I started watching HAECHI. What was the point? We just want better developed characters with a clearer plot and an ending that is believable. And . In a new interview with Broadcast, Suzanne Mackie explained that showrunner . If he ever has to hang his acting hat on a piece of his work in my mind all he has to say is: episodes 7 and 8 in TTC. From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, the drama always felt confident and assured, and I loved the beautiful way it told Ha Suns story. HAECHI is my only live watch right now. Also, I completely agree that the acting, cinematography, and soundtrack were superb. I love how real his performance was. The basis of him getting on the throne was not exactly morally right anyway. Strangely, the gates are wide open and the courtyard empty, so Minister Shin halts the soldiers and looks around suspiciously. Queen Dowager walks into a trap of her own and we understand the extent of Ha Suns game-playing as he truly understands how to navigate the vipers pit. I loved this drama as you said it wasn't perfect in every way but still it was great in many ways. As for Moo-young he died with his boots on. The viewers would simply accept it as a bittersweet fate in a sad destiny. He only existed to play the King and become the King, at the expense of the King.

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. 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 watched the first 15 minutes or so and knew how they would treat the king's character that I couldn't stand to watch anymore. knew it would happen before the end of this drama: line 7, strike TTC and insert TCC.
