Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? 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. But to create a 'bad' end then rush a 'good' one without solid backing feels weird. Nope it was kinda too long. It's songs were crappy, but the instrumentals hold their ground against even Dae Jang-geum and Arang and the Magistrate instrumentals. Stars Yeo Jin-gu Se-yeong Lee Kim Sang-kyung See production, box office & company info Watch on Prime Video Gone. They have to go back and redo it!!! Actually not a copy paste historically accurate like the history channel but more about historically sensitive etc. Did you read my essay? Shes decided to leave the gibang, and she tells Ho-geol that she intends to travel and just enjoy life for a while. Which means they both died. I doubt the ministers were this stupid not to reveal something that they know to be true. Ha Sun argues that the people in the palace are his people too, so he cant just abandon them to save himself. Couldnt stop watching. Not because i didn't like it but because i thought it would cause to loose some viewers as yi heon really had gained some fans despite being kind of a villan (thanks to jin goos excellent acting on a villainous role. I was confused too about why the queen dowager spoke to Ha Sun as the king. 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. <- this is exactly what I was expecting. 2023 TheReviewGeek. that is not a given that's how it's scripted for sure. The acting was superb, the scenery was beautiful and the story was different from its source material. KINGDOM, alas, also got short shrift from me because it was too much to juggle with CROWNED CLOWN. The Crowned Clown: Episode 16 (Final) by LollyPip It's time for our clown to sink or swim on his own, and one wrong move could mean his death and the death of everyone he cares about. Thinking the faulty thing has zero faults and loving it under THAT impression? The end was quite disapointing, I mean the jump in the future was useless. That relationship? 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. He deposed the queen and abdicated, then suddenly passed away. He holds his own well, but neither of them sees the archers who sneak around behind Ha Sun and fire two arrows into his back. In the history of my country we also have a story like that. Theyre both sobbing, grateful to be together again. DEFINITELY MLDBC!! The episode ends with a long anticipated reunion and one final glimpse of the sunset. But from what I gather, they didn't. Then they reunited in death and walked off into the sunset. And I always love reading your reviews. 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. Among the antogonistic, closed-mided high officials, there was a belief of a there being a clowned crown. I'm interested to see what's up his sleeve in his forthcoming drama.

It was cleverly placed so he wouldnt appear foolish but experienced in many avenues of sports which pleased me very much. I give it a 10+++. 2/4 My take on the ending is that they reunited in death. Yay for Jung Il-woo and the Good Guys. The doppelganger part. Some peasants could have been shown taking them in. I think they could end it a better way but I was happy to see their reunion. The uncanny, period-inappropriate costumes, hairstyles, makeup and actors turned me off right at the VERY beginning of the drama. He essentially died so that no one could ever actually prove the Clown as fake. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. So, I'm genuinely happy you got CROWNED CLOWN as your 1st Sageuk. This drama you have to choose the ending I chose he had died then she did and he came to get her so they could go together to heaven. The entire nation praised his great virtues. It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. It can be a pretty bad thing. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. It is an 8/10 for me. And his relationship with So-woon was already really nuanced and had great potential for a very unique romance in which So-woon would be the only person who had power over him. I think they could show us the Lord "I don't remember his name" rebellion because it was not very clear and still had a big place in the story of this character. 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. If you have time, do go to MLSHR recaps and threads, even if you don't watch it. The one degree of separation to MASQUERADE. Gimme a break! The basis of him getting on the throne was not exactly morally right anyway. 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. 3. His fears. (Translation: It takes more energy and attention than I can muster at the time.) Eventually, the rice payment law goes into effect in a few southern provinces to begin. 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! So-woon had refused to accept it until theyd given her the compass, which theyd found next to Moo-youngs body. Minister Shin orders his men after him, but the instant Ha Sun is through the gate it slams shut, cutting him off from his soldiers. Let me follow your thoughts: ;-). He existed as a fully fledged character. 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. The ending. 1. But thank goodness after 2 long and nobody changing years, the Clown has miraculously woken from coma. Poor Moo-young is hurt that Ha Sun tried to leave him behind, and Ha Sun marvels, You really have fallen for me! LOL, that joke never gets old. Not a big time period. 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. And with the way Hasun suddenly reappeared and the Queen didn't even ask him where he was, only asked what took him so long?? 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. It wasn't surprising. See you over at HAECHI, which I am enjoying so far. I hope you get to see many many wonderful sageuks in the future!, Thank you very much, @peony!!! I don't hate it, just think that the ending could have been better executed. I cannot watch two sageuks at the same time without getting the details bollixed up, even if they're set in different time periods. You're most welcome, Chingu! Youre amazing cuz you even got the queen dowager to agree. I just wanted the man to be happy. 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. But thankfully it didn't. I've tried to watch it about four times now and still I could anticipate the bad taste it would leave in my mouth. I was sorely disappointed by the ending. Episode 9, titled Couple 31, follows the consequences of the interview, as Charles and Diana finally give in to divorce. 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! Not because hes not royal, but because hes right that its not something that should belong to any one person, but should be used for the good of the people. When she gave her rings away and they found his compass. SO COOL.you just turned this drama into the preamble to "KINGDOM". 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. Thank you. Nobody offered a friendly gesture to Diana, choosing Charles. But overall i really had fun and thrill watching it. But then they killed Moo Young for no reason and it made me so inexplicably angry that I cant seem to move on.

They didn't really expose that at the beginning. 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. 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. So I dropped it. Ha Sun kept his nose to the grindstone, and lined up a successor. Very sad but thoroughly enjoyed the series. Shin- Shin and the Queen Dowager eventually find out, or well, guess that the Clown is not the real King. Unnecessary death of the officer. Too forced. The good points : the instrumental music (the OST was so beautiful and went well with the scenes), the humor ( I kind missed it at the end), the scenery (it was beautiful), not too much characters (I tend to be lost when there are too much Ministers in the same clothes). Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance), a British Royal Navy . 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.

The Crowned Clown Season 1 2019 16+ A low-class commoner clown, sits in the throne of the King who is in peril of losing his country. No no. He asks why Minister Lee did such a reckless thing, and Minister Lee apologizes for not keeping his promise never to leave him. He was the king without the crown, the mastermind. 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? How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? 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. And after all that complaining, that was where it truly felt like an ending, except for what happened during those two years. The writers could have done better making recovery time shorter, say 3-6 months. Now we agreed about Lookout too, so that doesnt surprise me. So-woon insists, saying that shes enjoyed hearing about someone she admires. I have no qualms about it. She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. Mohamed Al-Fayed's expectations for his son Dodi are the cliff upon which Season 5 leaves its audience hanging. Did he wish on one of his hazelnuts?! Director Kim Hee-won is a new discovery for me, and I definitely see why everyone praised her as they did. And even that wouldn't have happened if Lee Jun-ki wasn't leading the drama basically single-handedly! 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. Dal-Rae and the entertainers continue to please the masses while the new King successfully implements the Dae Dong Policy across the region. The queen dowager screams at the ministers to challenge Ha Sun, but they all stand silently in support of their king. 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. Because there were no consequences for the King as a pre-existing character. I'm going to miss this drama. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception.

Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be. They just wanted to show the Clown as King. I read the first two parts and loved it and wrote my comment even before I read the recap, because I've been dying to since I skipped my way through the finale (what does it even say about a show finale that I skipped everything but the last bit and still got it right), and then I came back just now and read the other two parts and also loved those. And I almost didnt even watch the reunion scene at the end because I knew exactly how it would play out. The Clown is King? I could have accepted that, though, because Ha Seon only wanted the power to protect the people he loved, and his sister and the ahjae were safe, so he succeeded and then felt it would be better to hand over the throne to someone more suitable. A few final thoughts: Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. Yes, I did get a little teary at the final goodbye; My second bean for 2019 . Clan power? One day, Ha Suns ministers bring up the fact that hes led the country to a time of peace, but hes still produced no heirs. So-woon tells him that hes done enough, and that she supports his decision. And it becomes very boring to watch.

When I thought it couldnt get worse, it did. 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). Nothing like watching our protagonist send off his master in the most glorious way to jerk some priceless tears. In a new interview with Broadcast, Suzanne Mackie explained that showrunner . To me they always make for a cliched and boring ending. ;-). No no. 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. I felt so angry that the ending felt like some type of trap for me. 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 . So it was @sicarius who broke it. You know, I was angry at the How I Met Your Mother finale, like really, spitting flames type angry. In fact it reached 2 digit ratings even afterwards. He didnt die for any plot related reasons. 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. also, thanks to the author for the recap. This was my first YJG drama and it is hard to believe he is only 21 years old. Ha Sun tells Minister Shin, I will take your life and make you pay for stealing my letter, putting the border at risk, and endangering the capital for your personal gain.. Instead of the time jump etc. The Crown Season 5 ending explained The episode begins with the Royal Family agreeing to the decommissioning of the royal yacht, Brittania. And the drama did well as well. Ha Sun writes out his abdication, then stamps it with the royal seal. 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. How did he suddenly appear by chance in that deserted field? 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. That is what they wanted to tell. 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. Ha Sun doesnt want to disrespect his loyal friend that way, and Minister Lee says it makes him feel joyful to hear Ha Sun call him that. I guess my only questions are: Why? 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. What is the limit between good and bad? But Ha Sun stabs him in the belly, declaring that the price for killing Minister Lee is his death. O/T but can I suggest that you maybe jump over to HAECHI and give it a try? What was the point? But the Clown woke him up and he realized he could do good for korean people. JUMONG was simply momentous, with KINGDOM OF THE WINDS a worthy successor. I enjoy things I also think are objectively bad. A remake of the 2012 film Masquerade, the series centers on the tale of a Joseon King and his doppelganger, a clown whom he puts on the throne to escape the intense power struggles afflicting the royal court. cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access I liked the acting, the cinematography, the music themes, the multilayered characters. The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed TCC. The transition is close. It was a suitably heroic end for a loyal bodyguard. I think @kiara tipped me off about it. As for Moo-young he died with his boots on. I do not know of any other drama where it attracted the attention of so much of the wisest and knowledgeable beanies, SIMPLY because of its potential and not because it was actually a phenomenal drama. Ha Sun meets with some young scholars, who have compiled Exemplar of Korean Medicine. Ha Sun wants to publish a version for the people to read, but the scholars argue that the people dont deserve it. Hasun implemented a controversial tax law and opposed the Ming. 3. What happens upon the family's arrival? It did its intended purpose. To show how good and righteous the Clown was? I was lucky, it was so beautiful about music, acting, costumes, and I appreciated that there was balance between politics and romance. At a couple of points in the past two years, I was simultaneously live-watching 9-10 dramas along with older shows and films. She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive.
