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. Not really. The viewers would simply accept it as a bittersweet fate in a sad destiny. No no. She showed no remorse for him being gone after that point. Nobody offered a friendly gesture to Diana, choosing Charles. Yes, I did get a little teary at the final goodbye; Did he actually think that he could just walk out of there unprotected and NONE of the people he wronged as the real King or as himself would have come after him?? I was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. 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. He basically committed suicide by cop, which makes no sense. But of course everyone can have its own opinion. Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? And then the Clown and his Queen live happily ever after, after the Clown suddenly abdicates after having a COMPLETE change in behaviour and personality I might add, that nobody frakking realises. It WAS a good decision for Ha Seon to abdicate. 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. The Queen- The Clown saved the Queen, thus the Queen forgave him, and then also abandoned the King as a pre existing character. ;-). Ha Sun kept his nose to the grindstone, and lined up a successor. In fact, I was this close to forgoing this entire essay last night and just shitposting for this recap, like I did for Memories of Alhambra. And then they walk off into the sunset andwhat? 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! Prince Jin-pyung lies alone, bleeding and gasping for water. So-woon had sobbed that if Ha Suns body wasnt there, he must be alive somewhere. Kwon Hae-hyo delivered with bells on in the ruthless social-climbing department until Lord Shin inexplicably lost the plot at the end of the show. Meanwhile, MLSHR had ALL the potential to be THE Sageuk of the decade, but it tanked, epically. Gone. Ultimately, the show may have raised interesting questions, intentionally or not, but it gives a simplistic answer that's wholly unsatisfying in this regard. 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. 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. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; Guards run to close the palace gates and protect the queen, but Ha Sun only has eyes for the dying Minister Lee. 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. ;-). She presses a finger to the stress lines between his eyes, looking worried for him. 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. 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. Prolly will make the beeeest drama with 0 plotholes and AMAZING storyline. Or change the writer. 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. It helps to know that I am not the only one who struggled live watching two sageuks at the same time. Moo-young declares that hes going with Ha Sun, and none too soon because only seconds later, he whips out his sword and goes after the assassins that have been following Ha Sun. Royalty? Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. Thanks for sticking through this for me! In re-reading the ep. Would have been nice if Officer Jang could have had a chance at a normal life. In January of the Year of the Black Pig, the king suppressed the rebel forces and ruled the nation wisely. 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. But this show decided to ignore one crucial part of this premise. Its not even just that, its poorly constructed as a concept, let alone a written piece. The survival of the great majority allows everything? If you have time, do go to MLSHR recaps and threads, even if you don't watch it. I neglected to state that Jin-goo's performances were great, and that Kim Sang-kyung is a new favorite. Both of them walked right into Ha Sun's traps. You know, I was angry at the How I Met Your Mother finale, like really, spitting flames type angry. I thought I would have gotten caught up by now, but have held off until CROWNED CLOWN cleared the decks. I appreciate your effort a lot. But hes not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. It might have all been clear to Koreans or anyone else who knows the province names, but it seems to me like they were jerking us around by having the general from near the northern border turn around and then having another general turn up like magic. The Crowned Clown [1] ( Korean : ) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Yeo Jin-goo, Kim Sang-kyung, and Lee Se-young. It was one of my most fun and blissful experiences here at DB. Why would I want to watch something when there are no stakes for a plot that should have all the stakes? The palace is thrown into turmoil and at the center of this chaos is our clown King, Ha Sun. 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). Why did you bother to watch it if you thought it was so bad? But none of that had any real stakes. My take on the ending is that they reunited in death. The clown scoffs at everything serious in the world, he is cynical and uses humor to show people that they are too serious. And nobody found out the Clown wasnt the King because the King is dead. I read the rest afterwards but i still have to say the same. What? It is an 8/10 for me. 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. I was sorely disappointed by the ending. I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. The doppelganger part. Hmmm. and so on. He reaches up a hand for Ha Sun to grasp, then he dies, leaving Ha Sun wracked with grief. She follows him, but eventually realizes that hes a stranger. . Finally its time for Ha Sun to go. 9 is following him into the sageuk? Yeahthere should be a flash back. But Im also not surprised that he burned out quickly he wasnt raised to rule a country, nor did he ever really want the job. 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. Still beautiful though. 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. I'm glad to be live-watching along with everyone now. Like I said, it's a fairly good and fairly solid Sageuk, preserving at least the "vibe" you expect from a Sageuk. Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. What right do they have to the throne? I especially enjoyed his sound effects of Yi Heon on a bender. Why? Do not base it on a doppelganger trope, only to IGNORE the implications and potential and importance of that doppelganger trope. 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 ). window.fbAsyncInit = function() { They tell the story of a king who was as handsome as he was wise, and whose greatest talent was looking out for his people. Among the antogonistic, closed-mided high officials, there was a belief of a there being a clowned crown. I cannot believe that Lord Shin would have allowed himself to walk into a trap. He pauses in the courtyard for just a moment, then steps off the brick path and walks away, a relaxed smile on his face for the first time in years. And I'm not alone, for Beans of Wisdom threads can prove you that. Nooo, not Moo-young! // Load the SDK asynchronously Premiere Watch: Neighborhood Lawyer Jo Deul-ho 2, The Crowned Clown, Whats Wrong Mr. Poong-sang, The clown gets a lesson on how to be a king, Three teasers for The Man Who Became King, Lee Kyu-han joins The Man Who Became King, Yeo Jin-gu, Lee Se-young become the king and queen of Joseon, First script read for The Man Who Became King, The Man Who Became King confirms main pairing Yeo Jin-gu, Lee Se-young, Lee Se-young courted to be Yeo Jin-gus queen in Gwanghae remake, http://www.dramabeans.com/members/sicarius/activity/709687/, LT is Irresistibly Indifferent, Dame Judi. However, I find myself not caring so much. Shes decided to leave the gibang, and she tells Ho-geol that she intends to travel and just enjoy life for a while. Ha Sun was a good king, and he could have been a great king, but he wasnt a happy king. A concern for royal doctors. Distracted, Moo-young tries to get to Ha Sun, but hes stopped by a sword through the chest. You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. 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. End of story. In the morning So-woon decides to go for a walk, and as she strolls, she recalls the intimate moments she spent with Ha Sun and the promises he made to always be with her. I don't hate it, just think that the ending could have been better executed. Another girl suggested The king loves. Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. For me the biggest issue wasnt necessarily killing the king off in and of itself (although I do agree that things could have been so much more interesting with more interaction between him and Ha Seon). It was cleverly placed so he wouldnt appear foolish but experienced in many avenues of sports which pleased me very much. I mean, i dropped this show about halfway through so I didn't watch the back half. He doesnt have long to ponder it though as Sin Chi Soo makes his move and, along with a handful of rebels, storms the palace in a bid to take him out of the loop once and for all. As soon as its done, a weight seems to lift from his shoulders. The only reason I watched the drama version was because of the movie. 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. Then what was the point ofanything that ever happened in this show? I mentioned earlier that it would have given Yeo Jin-goo the possibility to play triple roles; and He says that if she refuses, hell hang Minister Lees body at the gates for the people to see, and then theyll know that she caused this rebellion without justification. (In case you don't know, it's a weekly article we had then to publish the BEST comments of the week. Nothing was making sense anymore. Likewho took care of him? 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! Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. Nevertheless, I enjoyed TCC. So-woon tells him that hes done enough, and that she supports his decision. And the King only died because the King was a plot device and the King was only a plot device because this show, and its writers, are frakking stupid.~) My sister's 1st one was MLSHR, and now she thinks it's the BEST ever Sageuk in the whole world and uses it as a scale to measure other Sageuks. Minister Shin tries to bargain, offering Ha Sun the queen dowagers head if he lets him go. Did he not know that one was a royal twin (considered bad luck?) 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. They had more than a few epic interludes. 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. But still if you look exactly like the king and sitting on the throne no one would dare to question you, unless you are bold like shin and he knew what he was talking about. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; I briefly thought the show was trying to say that Cray Cray's Cray was entirely due to the environment he was living in. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. 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. Live together in a small hut just the two of them and So Woon's maid in obscurity for the rest of their lives? Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. Jang Gwang. That relationship? To show how good and righteous the Clown was? Hopefully you will and i would watch it definitely. Your email address will not be published. I love how real his performance was. He says that serving Ha Sun has been a once in a lifetime blessing, and they hug, both of them crying. The queen dowager snarls that he promised to confess, realizing that this is a trap. I have not seen the movie. I initially thought they should have kept yi heon for few more episodes which i mentioned in my comments under ep 8. 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. It makes me soooo maaadddd!!! The king was instantly killed. 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. Im glad that some other comments mentioned it here. Unmoved by her tirade, Ha Sun says calmly that hell endure the results of his own sins, and she should do the same. What were the different possibilities? It can be a pretty bad thing. In the courtyard, she never loses her hostile pride as she drinks the poison and succumbs to its effects. Didnt want it to end. Also the king wasn't allowed to read his own records in case he'd changed it. Clan power? It really speaks out my mind almost perfectly why I did not really enjoy watching this drama, especially after Yi Heon's death. LollyPip, thanks for the recap. He cries again as Ho-geol accompanies Minister Lees body out of the palace and past the rebel soldiers, then the gates are closed again. He is important. Where did he get money to travel around? (Lol. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. Thank you. It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. I could only assume that Moo-young's sparring sessions with His Majesty paid off as the latter skewered Lord Shin. A. 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. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. I realize that it was to his advantage to have his enemies think he was dead, but for the life of me, I cannot see how he could have lived. Early on there were comments about the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode of TCC. I love the show, but they have to redo the ending!!! (function(d, s, id) { Aside from Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman), season 4 follows: Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter), the Queen's younger sister. JUMONG was simply momentous, with KINGDOM OF THE WINDS a worthy successor. But it was all real, which made me more disappointed than I thought. 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. :) I'm relieved to know that you, too, find HAECHI a mental bandwidth hog. She is depressed and gets yet another false hope that Hasun could be alive. Gap-soo and Dal-lae have rejoined their clown troupe. And it becomes very boring to watch.
