I stopped watching at episode 10 since I had time-constraints and felt that the pace was a little slow or maybe just that I lacked time. They didn't really expose that at the beginning. It kept me Interested. Thank you, Peony, I'll give a look if I have time. 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! He should have walked away, been protected by the officer, who would then accompany him as he returned to the village incognito to meet up with his sister and the queen. <- this is exactly what I was expecting. I'll definitely read it. Which means they both died. So I dropped it. With a satisfying conclusion and impressive cinematography throughout, this Korean drama makes for quite the impressive showing. MLDBC too was a fairly nice, pleasant and most importantly, CONSISTENT drama. 1 recap and comments before posting my thoughts on the finale, I noted that numerous Beanies were expecting to get more of Yi Heon's backstory. Yes it depends on the perspective. Strangely, the gates are wide open and the courtyard empty, so Minister Shin halts the soldiers and looks around suspiciously. It was the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. appId : '127538621120543', And his relationship with So-woon was already really nuanced and had great potential for a very unique romance in which So-woon would be the only person who had power over him. For me, the difference between Minister Lees decisions to end a life and Minister Shins or the queen dowagers is the intent. Minister Shin tries to bargain, offering Ha Sun the queen dowagers head if he lets him go. Then what was the point ofanything that ever happened in this show? Nevertheless, I enjoyed TCC. And why didn't the rebels have scouts out to spot the approaching relief army? Maybe if you have a better way to say it one day you will get a chance to write a drama yourself. Set in the heart of Korea and split across sixteen 75 minute episodes, The Crowned Clown is a dramatic, politically charged series awash with tension, twists and turns. But the Clown woke him up and he realized he could do good for korean people. But to create a 'bad' end then rush a 'good' one without solid backing feels weird. 4 Jul 2021. I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. He takes special care packing the embroidered bag from So-woon and the compass she bought him in the marketplace. 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 Nobody found out the King died because the Clown is the King. That was unfair!! tvN's hit drama " The Crowned Clown " has ended with a bang! Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. I think it should have ended as Ha Sun walked out of the palace. Ta-da! She enters the palace at the pre-arranged time and finds Ha Sun alone in the throne room. Ohh man. The fact that he did it on his own, without Minister Lees help, was sad but also impressive, and he proved to himself that hes capable of anything despite his low birth. I just discovered in Merriam-Webster that the oft used kdrama translated word punk is a synonym for beginner!) 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. episodes (13-16) I think it has found its groove (for me at least.) She stops when she hears a little girl making a wish to the goblin that protects the house as she holds a cracked hazelnut. He was the best!! 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. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. The end was quite disapointing, I mean the jump in the future was useless. While there were memorable scenes and dialogue, I feel like the overall message the show was trying to convey got muddled along the way. Yi Heon and his contradictions with Ha Sun was truly the only reason why I was intrigued by TCC in the first place. It reduced the second most important character to a plot device and resulted in him being poorly characterised. She follows him, but eventually realizes that hes a stranger. @sicarius Other than that, I loved this drama and I'm sorry it over. Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! 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. And he shouldve been. We learn that the soldiers who arrived just in time were General Kims, Lord Yoos old friend. Jang Gwang. EPISODE 16 RECAP Minister Shin manages to growl, You lowly clown before Ha Sun yanks back his sword and slashes his throat. I was devastated with the ending, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. I just wanted the man to be happy. 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. Perhaps because of unavoidable comparison, CROWNED CLOWN has come up a bit short. After the Secretary stabbed Prince Jin, the Queen thanks Jin for his work thus far and instead vows to put another puppet in her stead on the throne to control. Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time. 4. That's a leap as big as Everest, but okay, fine. It's an interesting interpretation, but I prefer them alive :). The Clown : Yeo Jin Gu really acted him very well, showing the subtil evolution from a simple puppet to a real King. Suspension of Disbelief. I guess my only questions are: Why? She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. What was the point? I'm going to miss this drama. Working myself into a lather wasn't good for me. The Crown is a historical drama streaming television series about the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, created and principally written by Peter Morgan, and produced by Left Bank Pictures and Sony Pictures Television for Netflix.Morgan developed it from his drama film The Queen (2006) and especially his stage play The Audience (2013). I cannot watch two sageuks at the same time without getting the details bollixed up, even if they're set in different time periods. (Oh, right. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Why kill officer Jang So random. This feels like irony in my perspective, since between episode 6 to 8, she says that it does not matter if Ha Sun is late or not, he will always be there. And i also think the doppelganger part is seemingly only the possible way to a mere clown to become a king. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. But im note sure what was recorded of the kings in those days, like to what extent (like records on poop lol that was hilarious ). I had to chuckle over his interpretation of Ha Sun's name ("summer fairy"). 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. No kiss for the finale? The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting. It's songs were crappy, but the instrumentals hold their ground against even Dae Jang-geum and Arang and the Magistrate instrumentals. 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) Then they reunited in death and walked off into the sunset. [ENG SUB] Lee Se Young interviews Yeo Jin Goo for Cosmopolitan KoreaPart 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJovfWJncToPart 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page Nooo, not Moo-young! It was a treat to see Jang Gwang reprise his film role as the King's eunuch. That too, out of desperation I would have taken as some sort of poetic justice, because Yi Heon died so Ha Seon could be king, and Ha Seon died because of Yi Heon's crimes against the Queen Dowager. And the drama did well as well. There are of course all the issues with adultery and what shouldve been her reaction given the historical context and even arguments about who was the better husband for her, but none of that is really that important or relevant because on a basic writing level, her character, after trying to commit suicide promptly forgot, or acted like the King as a character never existed and was never important. But then they killed Yi Heon off, and Ha Sun was just too inconsequential for me. 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. But I guess they all live together happily ever after. There have been worse plot resolutions. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Woon-shim is allowed to say goodbye, and she sobs that she thought they would finally be together. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. I dont feel that it did as good of a job as it could have in explaining why Minister Lee killed Prince Yul for Yi Heon, or framing his poisoning of Yi Heon as something he was doing for the country, even though it personally hurt him to do it. As soon as its done, a weight seems to lift from his shoulders. Unanswered questions. 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. It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. Nor can I believe that Prince Jin-pyung would have been caught so flat-footed at the outdoor assembly. So-woon insists, saying that shes enjoyed hearing about someone she admires. We see a couple discussing what went wrong in . Finally its time for Ha Sun to go. He essentially died so that no one could ever actually prove the Clown as fake. Heyena. 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!! Lord Giseong agrees, saying that a kings job is to approve court discussions and take responsibility for the consequences, not wield power as he pleases, and Ha Sun regards him thoughtfully. The queen dowager refuses to be led away, and walks out under her own power. Eventually she moves closer and takes his hand, and he tells her that this is the first time hes killed anyone, yet he has no regrets, and would do worse to protect the nation and its people. 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. Bonus points if it's a sageuk. And it seems they were successful in it. He used to swap cloths with the guard make him sit on the throne and would laugh when ministers and noble men bowed to the guard. What was the point? Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. :). 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. My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. Thank you. In the morning So-woon decides to go for a walk, and as she strolls, she recalls the intimate moments she spent with Ha Sun and the promises he made to always be with her. Minister Lee. Well have the full season review written up shortly but for now, its fair to say the show ended on a well-deserved high. or Por que eu achei que todos os inimigos estavam mortos. He says that serving Ha Sun has been a once in a lifetime blessing, and they hug, both of them crying. It's taking all my concentration, too. Fictional or not, no sageuk has ever dare to change the royal line of Joseon. Ha Sun was a good king, and he could have been a great king, but he wasnt a happy king. Great points. He had no backstory. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Did it seem to anyone else that there were too many generals possibly coming to help from too many provinces? Anyway since i have heard of this king and his door keeper story since childhood the concept wasn't that new to me. It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. 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. In JDJ we are now with the last King of Goryeo, Gongyang. He basically committed suicide by cop, which makes no sense. Anyway, overall best Korean drama ever! Though the family seems fine, their pet dog, Sadie, refuses to enter the home and continues barking frantically. Prince Jin-pyung lies alone, bleeding and gasping for water. Thats is why the drama is "Crowned clown" or "the man who became king" . The bad points : I'm not a fan of too much flashbacks, but in this case I think it would have been useful for the story, the end with jump in the future. Starring Yeo Jin-goo, Lee Se-young, Kim Sang-kyung Genres Historical, Romance Subtitles English, Deutsch [automatisch], more, , , , , , , , , , , , Audio languages Watch for $0.00 with Prime Watch with Prime I think they could show us the Lord "I don't remember his name" rebellion because it was not very clear and still had a big place in the story of this character. In addition, hell kill Minister Shin and Prince Jin-pyung for what happened at the assembly. But none of that had any real stakes. And if there is a pre-existing King for him to be then who that king IS (or was) is very, very important. How did he recover from 3 arrows??? It's fine if they want to tell the story of a Crowned Clown- what's not fine is HOW they chose to go about doing it in this particular scenario. Finally they live happily ever after. I never doubted that Ha Sun was capable of being a true king, but seeing him come into his own strength and take on his enemies himself, outsmart them, and return the nation to peace was extremely satisfying. I felt so angry that the ending felt like some type of trap for me. 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. ;-). Since Writer-nim didn't bother to reveal who patched up Ha Sun and kept him safe while he recovered, I'll fill in the blanks by assuming that he somehow ended up in the care of Doctor Monk. I wished we had more time to get to know Yoon Park's character cuz I wanted to get attached/root for him. And Haksan dying- so what. I have a few minutes here and there but this show needs my full attention lol. I really liked this drama. They had more than a few epic interludes. You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. Think about this, initially only Haksan, Jo, and the Monk knew the Clown was pretending to be the King. He manages to throw his sword and take out the assassin about to finish off Ha Sun, then slips around Ha Sun to take the sword meant for him. The Queen- The Clown saved the Queen, thus the Queen forgave him, and then also abandoned the King as a pre existing character. Ha Sun orders the ministers waiting outside to enter. Absolutely no repercussions, to the King even existing, let alone the Clown taking the throne and the King dying.
