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. 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. 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. That relationship? 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. For all the aforementioned reasons. General Kang asks whether he should bring his men to the capital or prepare to fight at the border. On the latest episode of the tvN drama "The Crowned Clown", the fight for authority over Joseon continued, but not without a little romance thrown in between the battles.. Ha Seon (Yeo Jin-goo) promised Yoo So-woon (Lee Se-young) forever love asked asked her to see the flowers in spring, the ocean in the summer, and harvest in the fall.Ha Seon explained the meaning of the tree of love and put . The two could have wandered the country checking that new reforms were taking place. Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King. Prince Jin-pyung is in bad shape from his gut wound, but he tries to act like its nothing when the queen dowager visits him. It didn't turn out to be a bad drama, but it's not like I missed something important! Required fields are marked *. Loved loved loved this drama till the ending Did he not know that one was a royal twin (considered bad luck?) I initially thought they should have kept yi heon for few more episodes which i mentioned in my comments under ep 8. Some peasants could have been shown taking them in. I expected a pair of little ones running in the yard! Was glad when I saw Officer Jang want to accompany him, but then when those assassins attacked I was like????? People who watch sageuks want historically acurrate stories, right? Fictional or not, no sageuk has ever dare to change the royal line of Joseon. 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. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. She asks him to absolve her of her title first, so that instead of becoming the queen dowager and staying in the palace, she can go away and wait for him to join her. *(Out of Character: not a logical decision for the character to make based on how they have acted previously). 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. It's an interesting interpretation, but I prefer them alive :). Yeo Jin-gu was also just so much better and fresher as Yi Heon in every way. Jang Gwang's steady presence was a joy -- especially when Eunuch Jo was blending into the woodwork and meticulously inspecting the curtain pull while Haksan was going ballistic over Ha Sun early in his residency at court. The Crown season 4 ended with Christmas at Balmoral. It was unconvincing. His dignified presence was a centering, moderating influence for both monarchs, and elevated every scene in which he appeared. 1/4 I truly enjoyed the drama's cinematography, particularly the outdoor settings. Great points. The decoy is a clown who happens to be the king's doppelgnger. Thats my point. 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). And had so much fun. Legacy? I'm gonna stick to my version, the ending of this series was right after he installed the Tax Law. I read the rest afterwards but i still have to say the same. We got to see one measly flashback of Yi Heon and the Queen early in their marriage before he started going off the deep end. Alas, it never materialized. 4. 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. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. 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. I honestly also would prefer this ending, as this is more fitting of the whole narrative. What? The entire thing? But this show decided to ignore one crucial part of this premise. (~You know, its kind of paradoxical. 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. The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be. Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. 2023 TheReviewGeek. It's songs were crappy, but the instrumentals hold their ground against even Dae Jang-geum and Arang and the Magistrate instrumentals. @kurama, To show how good and righteous the Clown was? It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. Your email address will not be published. She asks the little girl where she learned to make a wish like that, and the girl says a man who was passing by taught her. 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. (In case you don't know, it's a weekly article we had then to publish the BEST comments of the week. From shock and tension through to sadness and bittersweet goodbyes, this 75 minute episode encapsulated everything Ive loved about this show since I begun covering it 2 months ago. 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. The queen dowager thinks a moment, then gives him permission to invade the palace and remove the clown from the throne. They want to show his loyalty via his death ? :-) Lord Giseong (cameo by Yoon Park), backs up Ha Sun, saying that he only wants to make sure the people are taking the correct medicines, making Ha Sun smile gratefully. Or change the writer. Sigh. Nope it was kinda too long. ;-). The writers could have done better making recovery time shorter, say 3-6 months. All this leads me to wonder now if the ending is much darker than it seems on the surface? Im not usually a fan of vampire shows, but now I want that alternative ending/sequel. 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. It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. They have to go back and redo it!!! It showed the King, as a character. The cast and crew can be proud of their production; And I almost didnt even watch the reunion scene at the end because I knew exactly how it would play out. 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. Dodi wants his father to meet his girlfriend Kelly, an . js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; But then I wonder: "Why two years? Ha Sun says shakily that its not a dream, but that hes walked endlessly in a dream to find her. Hed answered that it was to serve Ha Sun loyally and die in the line of duty, and Moo-young gets his wish. It showed his past. Thank you for the suggestion, @marcusnyc20, I will try Haechi in the future :), Congrats on your 1st Sageuk! I loved the show but we need to know How he survived. 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! 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 . Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. }); I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. Then they reunited in death and walked off into the sunset. Live together in a small hut just the two of them and So Woon's maid in obscurity for the rest of their lives? 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. It was a suitably heroic end for a loyal bodyguard. Not really. Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. 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. And . I was perfectly okay with the ending. Ha Sun receives a message that the border situation has turned dangerous and Aisin Gurun may attack, since they never received Minister Lees peace letter. Thats not all though as we soon find out. But sometimes powerful people, criminals would keep people who really look like them to escape death just as yi heon did. Anyway, overall best Korean drama ever! It worked, because the scene in which he was hurt was really beautiful and I was on the edge of my chair and heartborken for So-Woon. Yeah, I was all set to accept this final episode as whatever, its over and forget about it. I really liked to see how the generosity of this character touched the people around him. I neglected to state that Jin-goo's performances were great, and that Kim Sang-kyung is a new favorite. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; So many relationships were built up during the tumultuous happenings just to do this :/. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. I'm totally mystified over how Ha Sun survived two arrows in the back (let alone managed to extract them by himself). Because whoever Yi Heon was, according to the makers of this show, no longer matters. Unnecessary death of the officer. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. I have seen a lot if historical dramas because i generally like historical/costume dramas and this is certainly a drama that i really enjoyed. I too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. My second bean for 2019 . Would have been nice if Officer Jang could have had a chance at a normal life. 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. (Translation: It takes more energy and attention than I can muster at the time.) Moo-young yanks the sword from his own belly and uses it to kill the last assassin, as Ha Sun sinks to the ground. In JDJ we are now with the last King of Goryeo, Gongyang. That scenario would have created a lot of edge, suspense and sadness without killing a character for clout. Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. The plot cant take any additional eps. 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. 3. ;-), "From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, ..", I can't agree more than this. Gimme a break! Dal-Rae and the entertainers continue to please the masses while the new King successfully implements the Dae Dong Policy across the region. 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. 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). I know its a tragedy but why so confusing. But I guess they all live together happily ever after. The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring.
