What happens upon the family's arrival? I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! 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. Not a big time period. I hope you get to see many many wonderful sageuks in the future!, Thank you very much, @peony!!! The way the camera panned out at the end with them walking off into nowhere and how there were no questions asked and she just said that she had seen him in her dreams etc, could mean that it was their souls reuniting and not their physical selves. It was a beautiful journey, and when the last episode ended I felt a little sad to say goodbye to them all. But from what I gather, they didn't. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. Predictable and flat waiting period for the queen. However instead of this being a huge and important plot point, and an opportunity for properly developed conflict and climax, this is practically swept under the rug. The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting. I was perfectly okay with the ending. Thank you and I very much understand your pain, rage, disappointment, every other similar emotion you may be feeling. Strangely, the gates are wide open and the courtyard empty, so Minister Shin halts the soldiers and looks around suspiciously. I'm glad I tuned in. That there was a progression to his devolution and, put into the same environment, the Clown was going to start to devolve the same way. The two could have wandered the country checking that new reforms were taking place. Cant explain how the Queen died, but the whole scene implies that they are walking into eternity together. I have a few minutes here and there but this show needs my full attention lol. 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. He essentially died so that no one could ever actually prove the Clown as fake. Then the death of Officer Jang and the unnecessary pain the Queen had to go through while grieving for Hasun. 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. 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 read the rest afterwards but i still have to say the same. (In case you don't know, it's a weekly article we had then to publish the BEST comments of the week. I only read the first two parts at least thats what was there when i started reading it. XD), I saw same say so woon biting on the hazel nut is a metaphor for her hurting herself and finding ha sun in a dream. In the history of my country we also have a story like that. The cliffhangers and the drums-terrific; and The doppelganger part. In my view, the story went downhill after Yi Heons death because almost nothing that was set up before then had any serious consequences. SO COOL.you just turned this drama into the preamble to "KINGDOM". But it was all real, which made me more disappointed than I thought. I give the story, props and acting 9/10 and Haksun (Chief Secretary) could get an 11/10 for his acting alone. A) Ha Seon gives up the throne. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); But Ha Sun stabs him in the belly, declaring that the price for killing Minister Lee is his death. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, I hate the use of the magic random separation time generator, ( henceforth referred to as the CRM-114 Discriminator ), as its license for the writer to just make up any old thing, the off screen magic that takes place helps tidy things up, loose plot lines melt away, (or not), in the last five minutes. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. 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. (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. Minister Lee : he was really a great character. I too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. 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. 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. It would have been interesting to see him evolving and becoming paranoid. A few final thoughts: Anyway, this was my first sageuk and I'm really glad I watched it. . 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. 2/4 Ha Sun kept his nose to the grindstone, and lined up a successor. Moo Young should have survived. His fears. Also, I completely agree that the acting, cinematography, and soundtrack were superb. The queen dowager screams at the ministers to challenge Ha Sun, but they all stand silently in support of their king. Under entirely different circumstances, namely had I liked this show for more than just the first 8 episodes, this final write up would mostly consist of how utterly ridiculous and pointless that fake out death and time jump was; it is stupid for even the flawed story they ended up telling. That is, a Clown, who is the spitting image of the King, becomes king. 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. But I'm still not sure how the Queen managed to stop feeling guilty over her initially inadvertent betrayal of Yi Heon. If it was a challenge to my Sageuk Sages @kiara and @pakalanapikake then this sageuk punk is in good company. As So Woon is unable to bear children, Ha Sun decides to leave the throne to a more worthy contender, proclaiming he was only borrowing the throne temporarily and never fully deserved the accolade.

I'm probably in the minority for this opinion, but I thought it was a bold move for the show to have Lee Kyu kill the king in secret and become the "king" from the shadows. That means, that everybody else in the entire canon palace world of this show, thinks, the Clown, is a KING they already know. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. In comparison, I was passionately and unequivocally committed to REBEL for the entire run of that show. The Crowned Clown [1] ( Korean : ) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Yeo Jin-goo, Kim Sang-kyung, and Lee Se-young. What was the point? 4 Jul 2021. Your email address will not be published. The Crowned Clown surpasses the movie masquerade in every level. 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 guess my only questions are: Why? Again, why? But Minister Shin and the queen dowager convinced themselves that their crimes were righteous and that they were morally innocent, when in reality they only wanted power and revenge. I think that was an unfortunate oversight. According to Nielsen Korea, the highly-anticipated March 4 finale of the historical drama achieved the drama's highest viewership. 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). 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. Let me say it again. And after all that complaining, that was where it truly felt like an ending, except for what happened during those two years. Actually not a copy paste historically accurate like the history channel but more about historically sensitive etc. Not fond of separation endings. 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. Another girl suggested The king loves. The ending is meh.. Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. It's Moon lovers; Scarlet heart, Ryeo. Please enlighten us. The Crown Season 5 ending explained The episode begins with the Royal Family agreeing to the decommissioning of the royal yacht, Brittania. While there were memorable scenes and dialogue, I feel like the overall message the show was trying to convey got muddled along the way. The King, all his loves, fears, weaknesses and strengths, his idiosyncrasies, his handwriting, his tone of voice, he as a person, already has to exist before the Clown can pretend to be him. }); Loved the show and all the actors, especially the King, not the ending, but glad I watched it. And clothes? I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. 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 the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. Minister Shin manages to growl, You lowly clown before Ha Sun yanks back his sword and slashes his throat. I was also wishing and hoping to get more of Yi Heon's pre-addiction backstory. Thats all. ;-), "From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, ..", I can't agree more than this. What, he doesnt get to benefit from the magic two year time leap ? Could it be that Lee Kyoung-young's recent turn as the Big Bad in supernatural thriller ROOM NO. Its a matter of preference. And do not had any problem wit it. I loved the show but we need to know How he survived. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. It was unconvincing. Did he wish on one of his hazelnuts?! document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); 1) The Last Of Us Episode 5 Recap & Review, 2) The Interest Of Love Episode 16 Recap, Review & Ending Explained, 6) Crash Course in Romance Episode 9 Recap & Review, 8) Magic Mikes Last Dance Ending Explained, 10) You Season 4 Episode 1 Recap & Review. Whether you were satisfied with the finale or not, theres no doubt about it, The Crowned Clown delivered one heck of a rollercoaster ride for its finale. Episode 1 King Seonjo dies, and his fears about the fate of his youngest son Prince Yul come true when his successor Yi Heon (Gwanghae-gun) orders Prince Yul's arrest for treason. He was the king without the crown, the mastermind. She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. Btw, it's wonderful to see you back on the comment section <3. Because, honestly, he had so many enemies while he ruled. Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. 2. Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. Which is why it is still very (in)famous, known as the "MLSHR Phenomenon". 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. To all the above comments: It saddens me that my sister can't do the same. 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. And the music is perfection. (Maybe even a Lord GSB cameo by Lee Byung-hyun?). Find Dal Rae? What a complete waste of time. 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. In the drama the writers won't be able to keep the clown on the throne in the end or they'll have to deal with some angry Korean viewers. Yep, the mother of the baby that was killed so cruelly agreed to let the honorable Haksan die with utmost integrity. The internal and external forces driving a wedge between the monarchy and its people seemed overwhelming, and someone with a weak resolve . I'm getting into water-over-the-dam territory. 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. For me, the difference between Minister Lees decisions to end a life and Minister Shins or the queen dowagers is the intent. 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? I'll definitely read it. Not as many ribbons and bows that way, but also no time skip that leaves more unanswered questions. Shin Chi Soo, Queen Dowager and Prince Jinpyeong(?) But of course everyone can have its own opinion. At night, So-woon holds Ha Suns compass, remembering two years ago when a pair of palace guards delivered the news that they believed Ha Sun was dead. So after the preliminary introductions, they used Yi Heon as a plot device, to get the Clown into the Kings position and then they abandoned the King. Ha Sun argues that the people in the palace are his people too, so he cant just abandon them to save himself. He reminds us that to be a man is to make mistakes, to laugh and fool around. Thats right, these bad people need to be punished severely! She meets with Minister Shin, upset about how things went this morning, because when Prince Jin-pyung dies his soldiers will be demotivated. Showing Haksan in such slow-motion looked a bit off to me. No man can serve two masters. 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. 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. Hasun implemented a controversial tax law and opposed the Ming. I briefly thought the show was trying to say that Cray Cray's Cray was entirely due to the environment he was living in. 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). 3. 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. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { I doubt the ministers were this stupid not to reveal something that they know to be true. She showed no remorse for him being gone after that point. But its not a secret to the close people to them. I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). I know its a tragedy but why so confusing. 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. But I dont know the Clown. Minister Lee didn't see himself as a hero but more like a tool for his country not good or bad but useful. To me this drama was about Haksan and his quest to get the Dadong tax law passed. She stops when she hears a little girl making a wish to the goblin that protects the house as she holds a cracked hazelnut. 4. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? Nobody knows why. @sicarius A concern for royal doctors. or 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. Welcome to the world of sageuks. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. No kiss for the finale? Give me a break. The decoy is a clown who happens to be the king's doppelgnger. I seriously think they changed writers in the second half. I really liked to see how the generosity of this character touched the people around him. But still could not convince other ministers because if they were proved wrong they will loose their necks. . Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Jin-goo has indeed been phenomenal. Who wouldn't, if they were up against Hae Mo-su and his badass grandson?! But none of that had any real stakes. 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. anyway. Instead of the time jump etc. The Crowned Clown gave us characters to hate and root for. I love how real his performance was. All that means nothing if youre going against the almighty Team Good! I don't know whether it was the difference in tone between it and CROWNED CLOWN, too many details, or what. 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. Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? I was caught up in some work! Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time.

Even if they didn't want a predictable ending of "yayy happily ever after", they could have done it like this: Officer Jang and the King are attacked and badly injured. The episode ends with a long anticipated reunion and one final glimpse of the sunset. The entire thing? Would have been nice if Officer Jang could have had a chance at a normal life. (Translation: It takes more energy and attention than I can muster at the time.) Unanswered questions. But we are inevitably always going to reach an impasse @shaani. Hmmm. Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. We see a couple discussing what went wrong in . And Haksan dying- so what.
