A few final thoughts: Gotta say though, I did enjoy the political aspect of this series even if it was neglected in the last couple of episodes. It really speaks out my mind almost perfectly why I did not really enjoy watching this drama, especially after Yi Heon's death. Where was Ha Sun the whole time in those two years???? I also accepted, that the king had to be eliminated for the greater good. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? Guards run to close the palace gates and protect the queen, but Ha Sun only has eyes for the dying Minister Lee. I wished we had more time to get to know Yoon Park's character cuz I wanted to get attached/root for him. 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. He gasps for Ha Sun to hang his body above the castle gates after he dies, to show that the criminal was brought to justice. After all if the really great episodes the ending was puzzling. 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. Though nervous he won't be able to pull off the subterfuge, the decoy leads successfully, and falls in love with the queen in the process. Thank you and I very much understand your pain, rage, disappointment, every other similar emotion you may be feeling. Jang Gwang's steady presence was a joy -- especially when Eunuch Jo was blending into the woodwork and meticulously inspecting the curtain pull while Haksan was going ballistic over Ha Sun early in his residency at court. 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. 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. 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. In the history of my country we had a doppelganger fake king ruling for 6 years. 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. This went on for 3 or 4 times, the guard took advantage of it and oneday ordered to kill the disrespectful guard who is laughing at him (but actually the real king dressed in guard clothing ). He manages to touch the pot of water, but he only tips it over as he dies. 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. appId : '127538621120543', In this video, we give a full ending expla. SO COOL.you just turned this drama into the preamble to "KINGDOM". Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. And it becomes very boring to watch. It's an interesting interpretation, but I prefer them alive :). 2023 TheReviewGeek. The Crown is unlikely to continue past a sixth season, the Netflix show's executive producer has confirmed. This shows single and greatest flaw, therefore, is ignoring the consequences of the King as a pre-existing character as determined by the premise of the show itself. ;-), "From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, ..", I can't agree more than this. I don't know whether it was the difference in tone between it and CROWNED CLOWN, too many details, or what. But i don't think thats what happened. DEFINITELY MLDBC!! Cingu, I promise to read your essay but right now I gotta get away from the Cray Cray for a few hours and take a nap or something. Lee Bang-won in Six Flying Dragons who murdered his mentor and is thus one of my favorite characters of all time). Writer: Shin Ha Eun (The Crowned Clown) Cast: Shin Min Ah as Yoon Hye Jin, Kim Seon Ho as Hong Du Shik, Lee Sang Yi as Ji Sung Hyun Streaming Source: Netflix Plot Synopsis: A big-city dentist opens up a practice in a close-knit seaside village, home to a charming jack-of-all-trades who is her polar opposite in every way. Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. The Clown is King? Suspension of Disbelief.

SINOPSIS The Crowned Clown : Joseon dalam keadaan kacau karena pemberontakan dan perebutan kekuasaan di sekitar Raja Lee Hun yang diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo. Once again sweeping this fact under the rug. 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. Chief Royal Secretary is dead. The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring. The decoy is a clown who happens to be the king's doppelgnger. So it was @sicarius who broke it. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. there could have been a slight nod to MASQUERADE by perhaps having Ha-seon and So-woon leaving on a vessel pulling from shore with maybe Moo-young on shore making a bow; The Crowned Clown (2019) - Recommendations - MyDramaList The Crowned Clown (2019) Details Episode Guide Cast & Crew Reviews Recommendations Photos Edit this Page Make a Recommendation 8.8 The Red Sleeve (2021) Lee Se Young is the main Female Lead in both dramas Somewhat similar vibes but are pretty different plot-wise. 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. It was a beautiful journey, and when the last episode ended I felt a little sad to say goodbye to them all. It would be boring if we knew what happens on the whole drama in a preview. The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting. 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. So-woon asks what took him so long, and he says that he dreamed for so long that when he woke, a lot of time had passed. Minister Shin manages to growl, You lowly clown before Ha Sun yanks back his sword and slashes his throat. So, I'm genuinely happy you got CROWNED CLOWN as your 1st Sageuk. Loved the show and all the actors, especially the King, not the ending, but glad I watched it. Great points. I guess my only questions are: Why? 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. P.S. (Maybe even a Lord GSB cameo by Lee Byung-hyun?). Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. I personally like the movie better. 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. 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. You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. Yep, the mother of the baby that was killed so cruelly agreed to let the honorable Haksan die with utmost integrity. As for Moo-young he died with his boots on. It's taking all my concentration, too. They have to go back and redo it!!! It made Ha Sun sound like the Winter General's bartender sister in HWAYUGI. I'm still trying to catch up with HAECHI. 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. Ha Sun writes out his abdication, then stamps it with the royal seal. Without him, we wouldn't have a clown to be crowned. 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! 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. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. 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. Auwe! For one example: Moo Young. Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. And yes, "The Crowned Clown" has a happy ending. Not bashing the show, these are just my thoughts. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. Honestly, his death was really a nice plot in the story. It would have been interesting to see him evolving and becoming paranoid. 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. Lets break this down. Maybe if you have a better way to say it one day you will get a chance to write a drama yourself. Enjoy it all you want. What, he doesnt get to benefit from the magic two year time leap ? He says that serving Ha Sun has been a once in a lifetime blessing, and they hug, both of them crying. 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. (Lol. 3. Yeahthere should be a flash back. 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 A concern for royal doctors. The King : I think it was sad they didn't show him more as a Crown Prince. Early on there were comments about the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode of TCC. So-woon says that now he understands the weight of the crown and can move forward, but that he can come to her when he needs a break, and shell always be there for him. Also, what a complete waste of what I could have accepted as an okay last 10-15 minutes, or even, heck, half an hour if they'd just used their common sense while writing the damn thing. 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). If it was a challenge to my Sageuk Sages @kiara and @pakalanapikake then this sageuk punk is in good company. It saddens me that my sister can't do the same. Tags: Lee Se-young, The Crowned Clown, Yeo Jin-gu, Your email address will not be published. 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! I dropped this drama once Yi Heon died, but have been keeping up with recaps only to be disappointed with what the writers have been doing every episode. They suggest he bring in a new concubine to give him a son, and even So-woon thinks he should do it. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. For sure an emotional roller coaster ride. But Ha Sun tells her not to worry about it, because he plans to abdicate and has already chosen his successor Lord Giseong. 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. The ending. Starring: Yeo Jin-goo, Lee Se-young, Kim Sang-kyung Creators: Kim Hee-won, Kim Seon-deok, Shin Ha-eun Watch all you want. But Yeo Jin Gu is awesome throughout the drama, i love him. Everything you have written about this show is exactly what I felt towards the ending. Ah.I just can't forget how foolhardy Hasun was to leave without protection when he knew that he had so many people against him. I just wanted the man to be happy. That was unfair!! 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. 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. It worked, because the scene in which he was hurt was really beautiful and I was on the edge of my chair and heartborken for So-Woon. And the music is perfection. I expected that Haksan would perish, and am not surprised he took Prince Jin-pyung with him. My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. Like I said, it's a fairly good and fairly solid Sageuk, preserving at least the "vibe" you expect from a Sageuk. And then they walk off into the sunset andwhat? More politics and history but with last weeks (30 min.) 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. The first scene in this episode sets the tone. He says that even if he stepped down and one of them took the throne, the country would be okay. That's a leap as big as Everest, but okay, fine. Peace has descended across the land and now the attention turns who the new heir to the throne may well be. . Hmm. Moo-young yanks the sword from his own belly and uses it to kill the last assassin, as Ha Sun sinks to the ground. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Predictable and flat waiting period for the queen. 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. The drama took some risks like killing off the king halfway, according to the actor who played haksan it was something they had in mind since the beginning. Whatever you want to argue the reason for this was, and whatever you want to argue the reason for Ha Seon blithely forgiving him for this was, and whatever the argument posed for whether Haksan was good or bad, does not matter. 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). The upcoming CHRONICLES OF ASDAL, set during Gojoseon days.) That relationship? That being said I don't believe TCC passes either the probability or possibility test. Or give me a modern hospital with IV's and other life support for people who spend two years in a coma. He hands her a letter from Ha Sun, which says that if she promises not to punish his people, he will confess his crimes and hand over the royal seal. The Crowned Clown surpasses the movie masquerade in every level. No no. Even MLSHR didn't do that, although MLSHR overall was crappier than KL. Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. I'm getting into water-over-the-dam territory. She walks out of the village and into a field to think, carrying one of her wishing hazelnuts with her. Predictable and flat waiting period for the queen. I can believe lots of things, like time travel, zombies or moving with one suitcase, but not having scouts when you know the other side is expecting reinforcements is so absurd it's offensive. Heh. Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? I give it a 10+++. The Queen- The Clown saved the Queen, thus the Queen forgave him, and then also abandoned the King as a pre existing character. I will remember his Eunuch Jo for a long time. (Cant remember if I read all of your wall before you broke DB, but still *nods*. 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. I was devastated with the ending, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. Minister Lee. Did he not know that one was a royal twin (considered bad luck?) Prolly will make the beeeest drama with 0 plotholes and AMAZING storyline. Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! They want to show his loyalty via his death ? But thankfully it didn't. This on the hand was all over the place. And I'm very happy for YJG that he finally got a drama worthy of his talents. This kind of doppelganger plot makes more sense in the movie. JUMONG was simply momentous, with KINGDOM OF THE WINDS a worthy successor. 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. Even more than the king/clown swap, I loved the smaller stories about Ha Suns relationships, both with his existing family and the new one he cultivated in the palace. I just wish I could have commented more on CROWNED CLOWN, but the mental fatigue was real. Its a matter of preference. And its not ministers its just one minister, others didn't want to believe it. Better late than never is the best I can do these days. 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). Dodi wants his father to meet his girlfriend Kelly, an . General Kim advises Ha Sun to order the rebels to surrender, but Ha Sun says theres something he must do first. From shock and tension through to sadness and bittersweet goodbyes, this 75 minute episode encapsulated everything I've loved about this show since I begun covering it 2 months ago. Decent show, awesome costumes and props. 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. He didnt die for any plot related reasons. (function(d, s, id) { 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 :/. And no maid will serve you water if youre not Team Good. Now we agreed about Lookout too, so that doesnt surprise me. Then not explain the gap of two years He says hes been planning this since the rebellion, because the throne doesnt belong to him hes only been borrowing it. Rumors say there was a clown with the face of the king, and that he was alive, but none of them was revealed to be true. 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. 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. Then Officer Jang and him could have travelled far searching for the queen, end up in this town at the end and reunited. Thats right, these bad people need to be punished severely! js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; The whole idea was for the clown to step in temporarily because they are bound by the custom and rules of that time period.
