Please enlighten us. 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. 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. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); Please click the link in that email to complete the email change process. While there were memorable scenes and dialogue, I feel like the overall message the show was trying to convey got muddled along the way. ;-), "From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, ..", I can't agree more than this. 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. His weaknesses. The dog keeps . It was unconvincing. Sorry for the late reply! He manages to touch the pot of water, but he only tips it over as he dies. I mean, i dropped this show about halfway through so I didn't watch the back half. It didn't turn out to be a bad drama, but it's not like I missed something important! It was one of my most fun and blissful experiences here at DB. The clown is a symbol of the mind. And even that wouldn't have happened if Lee Jun-ki wasn't leading the drama basically single-handedly! In the courtyard, she never loses her hostile pride as she drinks the poison and succumbs to its effects. I too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. Thank you @lollypip for the recap! So what!? Do not base it on a doppelganger trope, only to IGNORE the implications and potential and importance of that doppelganger trope. Better late than never is the best I can do these days. Ha Sun was a good king, and he could have been a great king, but he wasnt a happy king.

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. . I expected a pair of little ones running in the yard! 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. episodes (13-16) I think it has found its groove (for me at least.) He says hes been planning this since the rebellion, because the throne doesnt belong to him hes only been borrowing it. Find Dal Rae? I bitched about this on my fan wall, but I'm so pissed I'll repeat myself. Two years pass, then HS shows up talking about how much time had passed when he woke up. Though the family seems fine, their pet dog, Sadie, refuses to enter the home and continues barking frantically. 2/4 I felt that if Yi Heon got off his drugs a bit, he was very much capable of doing just that; protecting his place on the throne. I was interested in Moon Lovers, but when I read only bad comments, I searched for synopsis and ending and actually it had so much so much potential that it's a pity it went that way. And had so much fun. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. The first scene in this episode sets the tone. The Perron family is greeted by evil just as they arrive at the farmhouse. 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. The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting. I give it a 10+++. Thats my point. Btw, it's wonderful to see you back on the comment section <3. Yi Heon and his contradictions with Ha Sun was truly the only reason why I was intrigued by TCC in the first place. Why? window.fbAsyncInit = function() { He takes special care packing the embroidered bag from So-woon and the compass she bought him in the marketplace. It's not surprising a lot of people think that Cray Cray's death was a narrative mistake. The guard somehow managed to rule for few more years but was assassinated later. And Haksan dying- so what. The Queen- The Clown saved the Queen, thus the Queen forgave him, and then also abandoned the King as a pre existing character. Auwe! And nobody found out the Clown wasnt the King because the King is dead. When I thought it couldnt get worse, it did. (Oh, I was forgetting Eunuch Cho. 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. Could have had someone stab Officer Jang and as they're about to finish him he picks up a sword and kills the man, then the man with the arrow could have shot him, then Jang could have killed the man and collapsed, leading us to think that both he and Jang are dead. I cannot watch two sageuks at the same time without getting the details bollixed up, even if they're set in different time periods. ). Hope his next drama also does well. The ending was really beautiful. Not king and the clown. 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. 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. Instead of the time jump etc. Now we agreed about Lookout too, so that doesnt surprise me. Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. Unnecessary death of the officer. In the history of my country we also have a story like that. And its not because I didnt get the ending that I wanted that makes me sad. But Yeo Jin Gu is awesome throughout the drama, i love him. At the start of the story, we could see that he gave up, he was just in damage control task. Its not even just that, its poorly constructed as a concept, let alone a written piece. 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? Im glad it was 16 episodes. Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time. 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. Dal-lae should have reunited with Ha Sun. General Kang asks whether he should bring his men to the capital or prepare to fight at the border. Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance), a British Royal Navy . I liked seeing the leads, the romance was sweet to the point of unbelievable, but what the heck. Another example would be the queen: after her suicide cliff attempt, she acted like shed been married to Ha Seon all along instead of Yi Heon. appId : '127538621120543', You will receive a link to create a new password via email. There's no fault in loving faulty things, but you have to see them for what they actually are. Loved the show and all the actors, especially the King, not the ending, but glad I watched it. Minister Lees body is taken into the palace, where Ho-geol sobs over him. In this video we take a deep dive and explain Season 5 of Netflix/Peter Morgan's "The Crown" reviewing its connection to the real royal family, history, and . Connect with Facebook 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). 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 internal and external forces driving a wedge between the monarchy and its people seemed overwhelming, and someone with a weak resolve . Nooo, not Moo-young! I was caught up in some work! But i am happy to see in other forums and under youtube comments majority liked it. ;-). First she lost the king, now she lost the clown. 1. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. So-woon tells him that hes done enough, and that she supports his decision. It showed his relationships. And I absolutely loved the ending, with Ha Sun abdicating the throne, because Ive never felt okay with the idea of his keeping it when it really never belonged to him. Not a big time period. I give the story, props and acting 9/10 and Haksun (Chief Secretary) could get an 11/10 for his acting alone. Thanks for sticking through this for me! I agree with you that I would have liked to seen Yi Heon's back story pre crazy King and addiction. Alas, it never materialized. Thanks s lot for this essay! 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. HAECHI is my only live watch right now. Working myself into a lather wasn't good for me. i liked the drama and that also doesn't mean everyone else should like it too. that is not a given that's how it's scripted for sure. I think that was an unfortunate oversight. His fears. The Crown season 5 ending explained. The Clown is King? But from what I gather, they didn't. 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 if she had killed herself in that field and seeing him was an illusion? It did its intended purpose. She presses a finger to the stress lines between his eyes, looking worried for him. I thought I would have gotten caught up by now, but have held off until CROWNED CLOWN cleared the decks. The story takes place in Joseon period, when power struggles surrounding the throne had reached extreme levels. Because the show wouldve been more interesting, and wouldve made more sense if he had been treated as his necessary pre-existing character, and therefore storytelling cornerstone, (and Jingoos acting) deserved and required. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. There's no telling how much faulty impressions you'd get if your 1st sageuk was MLSHR or Hwarang or Moon embracing the Sun, because then you'll have it on high pedestal, comparing the other Sageuks to your 1st one for some time for all the wrong reasons. Idk anymore. She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. In the history of my country we had a doppelganger fake king ruling for 6 years. You're most welcome, Chingu! It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. . Then why have him shot at and left for dead? I think they could end it a better way but I was happy to see their reunion. FB.init({ What were the different possibilities? The survival of the great majority allows everything? ;-). I've seen a lot of fictional sageuks but they all stuck with their time period. I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! In the past, I've gotten myself in a swivet over dramas I was deeply invested in that later derailed or otherwise succumbed to out-of-character behavior, illogical happy endings, etc., etc. So-woon had refused to accept it until theyd given her the compass, which theyd found next to Moo-youngs body. So, I'm genuinely happy you got CROWNED CLOWN as your 1st Sageuk. I'm going to miss this drama. She did get to meet his sister without knowing it was her. Eunuch Jo asks to come with him, but Ha Sun says he cant because hes recommended him for a promotion, and the new king needs him as much as he did when he first arrived in the palace. I said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? It was like he was never her childhood friend or first love, it was like her past husband never existed once the Clown declared his love for her. While writing this analysis, I found out that "The Crowned Clown" was directed by Kim Hee-won, one of the very few female directors in the K-drama industry; she also directed the recent hit "Vincenzo." (Dang! And . Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. JUMONG was simply momentous, with KINGDOM OF THE WINDS a worthy successor. 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. They wanted, I think, to tell the story of someone from a lower class who is better at serving the people of a nation than those who have been corrupted in power; they wanted to tell the story of what it would be like to put someone like a Clown on the throne, and what it would be like for a Clown to fall in love with a Queen. Heh. All I ever wanted for Ha Sun and So-woon was for them to live a normal life like normal people, and they got exactly what they deserved each other. What? I don't know what came over me that I felt so compelled to embark on JUMONG and KINGDOM OF THE WINDS around the start of the year. She meets with Minister Shin, upset about how things went this morning, because when Prince Jin-pyung dies his soldiers will be demotivated. It was a suitably heroic end for a loyal bodyguard. 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. Which sounds all well good. And no maid will serve you water if youre not Team Good. He gives her a gift the knife that she almost used to take her own life when they first met. I'm getting into water-over-the-dam territory. It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. 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. The makers of this show (and I assume the movie) decided to show that story by means of a doppelganger plot. 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. Minister Shin says hes already rewarded them to offset the drop in morale, and he asks if she still thinks they need a valid cause for rebellion. I am now pushing on with JEONG DO JEON (35 of 50 episodes completed.) She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. @kurama, My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. I loved the show but we need to know How he survived. But Ha Sun tells her not to worry about it, because he plans to abdicate and has already chosen his successor Lord Giseong. I have a few minutes here and there but this show needs my full attention lol. The story made a lot of promises, and then didnt deliver. . FB.init({ Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. It was a treat to see Jang Gwang reprise his film role as the King's eunuch. She gave up and it seems they met in Heaven? 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. Its just as J Star said: Unanswered questions. Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. 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. Voc sabe quem mandou matar o Ha Seon no final da srie? After a brief recap to the events of last week, we begin with Queen Dowager and the former Left State Minister plotting their next move. Im not usually a fan of vampire shows, but now I want that alternative ending/sequel. Yes it depends on the perspective. also the end was dreamlike, similar to the soft focus happy endings of Crash Landing on You but were these true endings or just wishful thinking? cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? And their casts were first-rate. So I dropped it. But the Clown woke him up and he realized he could do good for korean people. She asks why hes here and not Minister Shin, and he says that Minister Shin fell in battle, but that theyve got the king locked up. In re-reading the ep. I thought I would have caught up through at least ep. 3. Some peasants could have been shown taking them in. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. 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. I briefly thought the show was trying to say that Cray Cray's Cray was entirely due to the environment he was living in. It aired simultaneously with PBG's Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (MLDBC).
