But to create a 'bad' end then rush a 'good' one without solid backing feels weird. The ending was really beautiful. 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. }; Stars Yeo Jin-gu Se-yeong Lee Kim Sang-kyung See production, box office & company info Watch on Prime Video . It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. The Clown is King? 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. Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. First she lost the king, now she lost the clown. 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. 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. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access I just wish I could have commented more on CROWNED CLOWN, but the mental fatigue was real. The Queen- The Clown saved the Queen, thus the Queen forgave him, and then also abandoned the King as a pre existing character. Thus, the story's flow was smooth and it concentrated more on the main story of the clown. I seriously think they changed writers in the second half. 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. Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. 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. More politics and history but with last weeks (30 min.) My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. SINOPSIS The Crowned Clown : Joseon dalam keadaan kacau karena pemberontakan dan perebutan kekuasaan di sekitar Raja Lee Hun yang diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo. Hmm. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. It did its intended purpose. Or well he did but not the important ones. It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. But he did not return right away because he wanted to make it appear to the people that the real King was in fact assasinated and waited two years before he surfaced as Ha-seon, a clown surfaced that closely resembles the dead king. 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. I can't handle 2 or more at a time and it makes me sad when they compete for the ratings. And I loved the drums. General Kim advises Ha Sun to order the rebels to surrender, but Ha Sun says theres something he must do first. She follows him, but eventually realizes that hes a stranger. A few final thoughts: Thank you so much for taking the time to make these recaps. The soundtrack and instrumental music was lovely, and enhanced the action. 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). I've tried to watch it about four times now and still I could anticipate the bad taste it would leave in my mouth. He says that serving Ha Sun has been a once in a lifetime blessing, and they hug, both of them crying. He lived such a hard, unfeeling and regimented life and then to have him finally decide to do something for himself by leaving with Hasunonly to make him die with his 'wish' to die with the King?? Legacy? 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. The Clown manages to fluke his way out of the accusations (without anyone on his side dying), and then the Villains lead a rebellion that is entirely unsuccessful and was executed without intelligence so that the Good Guys (lol) can win very easily and eliminate all threats, in the space of about 20 minutes, as if the last fifteen episodes of well, drama, mean absolutely nothing. What was the point? appId : '127538621120543', I've seen a lot of fictional sageuks but they all stuck with their time period. Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. Anyway, overall best Korean drama ever! That's a leap as big as Everest, but okay, fine. 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. Anyway since i have heard of this king and his door keeper story since childhood the concept wasn't that new to me. I give the story, props and acting 9/10 and Haksun (Chief Secretary) could get an 11/10 for his acting alone. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. It has been a pleasure. Sicarius' point is that the doppelgnger plot became irrelevant once they killed off one of the doppelgngers and so the central source of conflict - the fact that the Clown was an imposter- was removed. 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. I was devastated with the ending, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. 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. Eunuch Jo gives Ha Sun a drawing that he made of him, remembering how Ha Sun once drew him a picture to cheer him up. :) Hence I've been making an effort to be somewhat detached and not take CROWNED CLOWN too personally. I hate sounding petty, but, uh, what? They look at each other lovingly for a long time, then Ha Sun takes So-woons hand, and they walk home together. 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. It felt like I was really grinding my gears when I started watching HAECHI. I have not seen the movie. For a moment I thought the red clown was the king and would be the happy ending but was not , It was really good but it wouldve been better it had season it was so much left out . Some found it a plot mistake but others didn't or found it interesting . 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 . Finally they live happily ever after. 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. 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 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 . You're most welcome, Chingu! Didnt want it to end. After 15 episodes of drama, tension and romance we finally reach the conclusive chapter to this historical Korean show. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. A pathetic attempt at last minute drama for characters I no longer care about and a plot that I think is fundamentally flawed only solidifies my opinion that this drama is written stupidly, and badly. And the music is perfection. Prolly will make the beeeest drama with 0 plotholes and AMAZING storyline. The ending of The Crown season 5 centers on Queen Elizabeth II's (Imelda Staunton) dramatic feelings of obsolescence while Prince Charles (Dominic West) fruitlessly campaigns for greater stature as the future King and the tragic fate of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) hangs in the air. Like everyone else I feel the end was rushed and not thought out. Minister Lee : he was really a great character. I especially liked that the twists were simple and not that many. Heyena. [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=. Guards run to close the palace gates and protect the queen, but Ha Sun only has eyes for the dying Minister Lee. Likewho took care of him?

She points the way he went, and So-woon hurries in that direction until she sees a man in blue clothing. In re-reading the ep. 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 Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? The Crown Season 5 ending explained The episode begins with the Royal Family agreeing to the decommissioning of the royal yacht, Brittania. Better late than never is the best I can do these days. It made me think that the PD doesn't have enough control over one of the most important departments of a Sageuk, which is Wardrobe and aesthetics department. 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. Keith Bernstein/Netflix. In the summer of 1997, Diana did take her. 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. Who wouldn't, if they were up against Hae Mo-su and his badass grandson?! 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. Then the death of Officer Jang and the unnecessary pain the Queen had to go through while grieving for Hasun. They didn't really expose that at the beginning. 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. In sageuks, the best character will always be the one with a twisted past, the one that isn't entirely black or white but has extremely strong values in something, and will do anything to protect those values (i.e. If MLDBC is consistent, I could try it. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. Ho-geol requests some time off, so Ha Sun suggests he take a working vacation to Jeju Island to see how the people like the new law, which is obviously not what Ho-geol had in mind. Do not base it on a doppelganger trope, only to IGNORE the implications and potential and importance of that doppelganger trope. Its based on Ha Suns name, which means summer fairy, and Eunuch Jo says it perfectly suits him because hes like the summer sun that shines equally over everyone. 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. He reminds us that to be a man is to make mistakes, to laugh and fool around. You didn't like it that doesn't mean others shouldn't like it. She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. I recently read a forward (by Don Baker) to the Korean historical novel "Encounter" (1986) by Hahn Moo-Sook where he makes the point that scholars writing history are constrained to probability whereas novelists are constrained to possibility. The recaps were enough. Some peasants could have been shown taking them in. I'll have to go back and rewatch it. 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! With a satisfying conclusion and impressive cinematography throughout, this Korean drama makes for quite the impressive showing. Decent show, awesome costumes and props. 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. Sorry for the late reply! I think @kiara tipped me off about it. Not as many ribbons and bows that way, but also no time skip that leaves more unanswered questions. He had no backstory. The premise of this show is the story of a Clown who became King. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, But if its boring, nvm. The King? Unanswered questions. i liked the drama and that also doesn't mean everyone else should like it too. Why did you bother to watch it if you thought it was so bad? I'm getting into water-over-the-dam territory. Ha Sun watches, horrified, as Minister Lee grabs a sword from a guard and runs Prince Jin-pyung through, taking several sword wounds in the back himself. (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. And youre probably going to reply to this with something along the lines of saying even THIS comment is also entirely subjective, thus ironically, proving my point. Other than that, I loved this drama and I'm sorry it over. 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. My favourite scene was the goodbyes between Eunuch Jo and the Clown, I really loved their relationship. I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). Thank you, Peony, I'll give a look if I have time. 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. Even jin pyong and dowager queen found it out in the last minute and the whole thing happened within 3, 4 months. Or change the two years to two weeks. I personaly don't like doppelganger stories because they often are not very good or end not very well like Big, Are You Human Too, The Honor, Jeckyl, Hyde and Me (not a doppelganger but same principe). His death scene was really great. 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. I said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. What a load of crap! ???? But its not a secret to the close people to them. And then they walk off into the sunset andwhat? They barely manage to suppress the assassins because..hasn't the King been shown to be excellent in archery and decent in using a sword? It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. What were the different possibilities? Thats right, these bad people need to be punished severely! 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. 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. So now, @pakalanapikake, you see why this show and I were never meant to be. It was a suitably heroic end for a loyal bodyguard. He essentially died so that no one could ever actually prove the Clown as fake. The Crown is unlikely to continue past a sixth season, the Netflix show's executive producer has confirmed. One of these days I intend to watch SHIN DON, which may overlap with JEONG DO JEON. 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; Yeah, I was all set to accept this final episode as whatever, its over and forget about it. The survival of the great majority allows everything? I read the rest afterwards but i still have to say the same. Because a writer can write a 'bad' end, but if properly done no one can challenge it or be confused. Shiver!! Why kill officer Jang So random. The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting. Btw, it's wonderful to see you back on the comment section <3. Tags: Lee Se-young, The Crowned Clown, Yeo Jin-gu, Your email address will not be published. But because he did such a good job, I almost wished he would stay (however in the movie I wanted him to stay more than anything). 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. So many relationships were built up during the tumultuous happenings just to do this :/. (function(d, s, id) { The episode ends with a long anticipated reunion and one final glimpse of the sunset. He reaches up a hand for Ha Sun to grasp, then he dies, leaving Ha Sun wracked with grief. Poof. In the end, she didn't even feel part of the family; she wasn't welcome. 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. Ha Sun says he has a lot more reading to do and sends Eunuch Jo on to bed, but later So-woon finds him asleep on the table. But, no. The cliffhangers and the drums-terrific; and Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. It would have been interesting to see him evolving and becoming paranoid. The one degree of separation to MASQUERADE. See you over at HAECHI, which I am enjoying so far.
