Shin Chi Soo, Queen Dowager and Prince Jinpyeong(?) Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. Dodi wants his father to meet his girlfriend Kelly, an . I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). 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. It showed his relationships. 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. I cannot watch two sageuks at the same time without getting the details bollixed up, even if they're set in different time periods. What a load of crap! Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that! I'm relieved to know that you, too, find HAECHI a mental bandwidth hog. It was an enjoyable show, very pretty. And OOC*. 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. I liked seeing the leads, the romance was sweet to the point of unbelievable, but what the heck. On the other hand, MLSHR is QUITE the viewing experience, and I do NOT regret the time I spent on it al ALL even though it was crappy. Add it to the list of things that are harder to believe than time travel and zombies Yoo In-Na's cuteness in Touch Your Heart. It didn't turn out to be a bad drama, but it's not like I missed something important! 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. The drama version had put their own spin on it. I truly enjoyed the drama's cinematography, particularly the outdoor settings. 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. It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; You know, I was angry at the How I Met Your Mother finale, like really, spitting flames type angry. 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 give the story, props and acting 9/10 and Haksun (Chief Secretary) could get an 11/10 for his acting alone. I guess my only questions are: Why? I thought I would have caught up through at least ep. Did you read my essay? But Yeo Jin Gu is awesome throughout the drama, i love him. The goodbye scene to Eunuch Jo sniff so beautiful so sad. I had to chuckle over his interpretation of Ha Sun's name ("summer fairy"). I mean, i dropped this show about halfway through so I didn't watch the back half. i liked the drama and that also doesn't mean everyone else should like it too. The Crown Season 5: Ending Explained | Full Spoiler Review & The Real Life True Story That Could Inspire Season 6. Of course, they arent worth the time I suppose. Its a matter of preference. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. To kill off Moo Young and leave Ha Seon with literally no one but So Woon? The story takes place in Joseon period, when power struggles surrounding the throne had reached extreme levels. As Moo-young falls, he recalls Ha Sun asking him what his greatest wish in life is. 2023 TheReviewGeek. The ending is meh.. So-woon had sobbed that if Ha Suns body wasnt there, he must be alive somewhere. Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! The premise of this show is the story of a Clown who became King. 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. Where did he get money to travel around? Nothing was making sense anymore. Who wouldn't, if they were up against Hae Mo-su and his badass grandson?! Thats not all though as we soon find out. In general I feel that The Crowned Clown was successful in effectively telling its shocking story, and that it did so in a gorgeous, impactful way. He takes the throne and the queen dowager looks frightened, but shes relieved when Lord Younghwa, her choice for king, also enters the room. Yi Heon and his contradictions with Ha Sun was truly the only reason why I was intrigued by TCC in the first place. Why did he leave the palace without guards? ;-). I briefly thought the show was trying to say that Cray Cray's Cray was entirely due to the environment he was living in. Like you, I'll pray to the Drama Gods that we be preserved from simultaneous sageuk scheduling in the future. After wrapping up the loose ends with both Queen Dowager and Sin Chi Soo, we skip forward a year (or so I presume due to the first dialogue exchange). As an audience, it was too easy to see these things in modern-day context instead of the context of the time period, where often, getting rid of someone, though a heinous choice, was often the only choice to protect the power of the throne (and thus the people). A. But he's not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. But still could not convince other ministers because if they were proved wrong they will loose their necks. He had no backstory. It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. I also accepted, that the king had to be eliminated for the greater good. 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. But then they killed Yi Heon off, and Ha Sun was just too inconsequential for me. And Haksan dying- so what. They just look at each other for a long time, then So-woon says that she has this dream all the time, but when she approaches, he usually disappears. Ha Sun kept his nose to the grindstone, and lined up a successor. End of story. Ha Sun stands stock-still as Minister Shin raises his sword to strike then the gates open for Minister Shin to see that his soldiers have all been killed or captured. I said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring. 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). Thank you @lollypip for the recap! It's simply epic! I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. 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. ???? Hence I've been making an effort to be somewhat detached and not take CROWNED CLOWN too personally. So-woon had refused to accept it until theyd given her the compass, which theyd found next to Moo-youngs body. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. Once he did what he wanted to do, and then some, it was wise of him to make the decision to pass it along to someone else who would use the weight of the throne for the good of the nation. The king's every move and poop was recorded so it would be very difficult to make a switch but Ha Sun was only subbing for the king for 15 days. 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. 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. I was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. Because, when making a sad ending, you have to make it believable enough so that the viewer does not feel like theyre being unnecessarily hurt. Which means they both died. General Kang asks whether he should bring his men to the capital or prepare to fight at the border. I think it should have ended as Ha Sun walked out of the palace. How did he recover from 3 arrows??? 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! Please enter your username or email address. Hmmm. In the summer of 1997, Diana did take her. She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. Clan power? Also, I long awaited the story of how the twins were born and one was sent away so both were equally Royal. Why? Ha Sun says shakily that its not a dream, but that hes walked endlessly in a dream to find her. Minister Lee : he was really a great character. And even that wouldn't have happened if Lee Jun-ki wasn't leading the drama basically single-handedly! On his way to meet up with So-woon, Ha Sun senses someone behind him and whirls but whew, its only Moo-young. Ha Sun sends a letter to the queen dowager asking her to halt her men for one day so he can pay proper respects to Minister Lee. They just wanted to show the Clown as King. He gives her a gift the knife that she almost used to take her own life when they first met. The problem is, is that the show did not actually want to tell the story of the King AND the Clown. Ohh man. That's all we need, they said. It wasn't surprising. 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 :/. Even MLSHR didn't do that, although MLSHR overall was crappier than KL. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page The King comes back later, as a cameo and as an excuse for conflict but we will kill him off because he's really not important to the Clown's story now; he's in the way. I really liked to see how the generosity of this character touched the people around him. Did he not know that one was a royal twin (considered bad luck?) Sigh. }); When Kab-soo and Dal-rae's clown troupe arrived where Ha Sun had intended to rendezvous with the former Queen, I wondered how the guardian managed to leave his job working for the navy in Ha Sun's hometown. Yeo Jin-goo. 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. And even I would be interested, and was interested, in seeing what this story looks like. The iconic Shawarma King has won the 'best in Scotland' title at the British Kebab Awards for the second time in a row, with the viral eatery on King Street describing their second win as . Hopefully you will and i would watch it definitely. 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! The Crown is unlikely to continue past a sixth season, the Netflix show's executive producer has confirmed. That relationship? An emotional farewell with Eunuch Jo (now Royal Secretary Jo) ensues and Ha Sun leaves the palace for good, following after So Woon who left the palace just before he did. 1. 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 too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. I swear you won't regret it. I really loved this show, but they botched it in the end. 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. Minister Lee. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. 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. However, the clown is a dual symbol. I suspect that having to contend with another court full of braying ministers was a bit too daunting. And nobody likes him anyway, right? Tags: Lee Se-young, The Crowned Clown, Yeo Jin-gu, Your email address will not be published. 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). It is an 8/10 for me. Why stop there? 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. Woon-shim is allowed to say goodbye, and she sobs that she thought they would finally be together. An emotional farewell with Eunuch Jo (now Royal Secretary Jo) ensues and Ha Sun leaves the palace for good, following after So Woon who left the palace just before he did. My take on the ending is that they reunited in death. Alas, it never materialized. 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. It felt like I was really grinding my gears when I started watching HAECHI. Oi After all the drama and pain of the last 15 and a half episodes, after firmly declaring he wants to take Yi Heon's throne and use his power for good, he justdecides to walk away. Decent show, awesome costumes and props. It was mentioned by Ae-young to the queen that she heard that king's poop smells different and we all know why because he was not Yi Heon lol. Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. The story made a lot of promises, and then didnt deliver. The queen dowager snarls that he promised to confess, realizing that this is a trap. I really liked this drama. And I'm very happy for YJG that he finally got a drama worthy of his talents. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. I also do not agree with the author of the recap -- that protecting the power of the king is protecting the people. Anyway since i have heard of this king and his door keeper story since childhood the concept wasn't that new to me. Actually not a copy paste historically accurate like the history channel but more about historically sensitive etc. Eventually, the rice payment law goes into effect in a few southern provinces to begin. Can you guys recommend me another good political show? It would be boring if we knew what happens on the whole drama in a preview. 2. He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. While some of the plotting did feel a little rushed at the end, especially with the 2 time jumps, for the most part Crowned Clown delivered a highly satisfying final episode. With a satisfying conclusion and impressive cinematography throughout, this Korean drama makes for quite the impressive showing. The ending failed. She says that hed have lived a long life if he hasnt been greedy for the throne, but she tells him in a cold voice that shell make good use of his soldiers, and give the throne to Lord Younghwa instead. 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 And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. Two years pass by and we see So Woon a broken shell of the woman she once was. But its not a secret to the close people to them. Among the antogonistic, closed-mided high officials, there was a belief of a there being a clowned crown. Its just as J Star said: Unanswered questions. 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.
