Give me a break. But i am happy to see in other forums and under youtube comments majority liked it. // Load the SDK asynchronously 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. And thats really poor writing. All this leads me to wonder now if the ending is much darker than it seems on the surface? General Kang asks whether he should bring his men to the capital or prepare to fight at the border. 7-8 of HAECHI before today, but no such luck. The Crowned Clown surpasses the movie masquerade in every level. His death scene was really great. (Lol. 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. Because it seeemed that he was a good Crown Prince until his dad died and made this stupid discour before. The Crowned Clown 2019 | Maturity Rating: TV-14 | 1 Season | Period Pieces Standing in for an unhinged Joseon king, a look-alike clown plays the part but increasingly becomes devoted to protecting the throne and the people. Minister Lee was doing it to create a better world, and he never denied that what he was doing was wrong he accepted that he would be punished, but he was willing to sacrifice himself for his country. Director Kim Hee-won is a new discovery for me, and I definitely see why everyone praised her as they did. After all if the really great episodes the ending was puzzling. 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. 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. Ha Sun orders the ministers waiting outside to enter. Also, I long awaited the story of how the twins were born and one was sent away so both were equally Royal. I seriously think they changed writers in the second half. What? The plot cant take any additional eps. He didnt die for any plot related reasons. Just when I thought this drama couldnt get any worse they introduced the seperation trope! 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 decoy is a clown who happens to be the king's doppelgnger. (Oh, right. Do not base it on a doppelganger trope, only to IGNORE the implications and potential and importance of that doppelganger trope. So what happens, when you kill him, and, moral implications aside, there are no consequences to this, is that your plot doesnt frakking make sense. Yes, I did get a little teary at the final goodbye; Please tell me I'm not the only one who viewed the ending as an open-ended one! He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. or Alas, it never materialized. It showed his past. I dont feel that it did as good of a job as it could have in explaining why Minister Lee killed Prince Yul for Yi Heon, or framing his poisoning of Yi Heon as something he was doing for the country, even though it personally hurt him to do it. Though nervous he won't be able to pull off the subterfuge, the decoy leads successfully, and falls in love with the queen in the process. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. It was quite unpredictable and almost each episode ended with a cliffhanger . I expected a pair of little ones running in the yard! And clothes? Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. According to Nielsen Korea, the highly-anticipated March 4 finale of the historical drama achieved the drama's highest viewership. It was beautiful how everything was brought full-circle yet felt natural, like Gap-soo and Dal-lae going back to their clown troupe, Woon-shim deciding to see the world, and especially So-woon wishing Ha Sun back to her with a hazelnut. I was also wishing and hoping to get more of Yi Heon's pre-addiction backstory. Then, both Jang and the King could have remained somewhere and tended to their wounds. 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 . For all the aforementioned reasons. 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. (Maybe even a Lord GSB cameo by Lee Byung-hyun?). Who wouldn't, if they were up against Hae Mo-su and his badass grandson?! 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. And how exactly was she able to leave the palace and not return to her family home or hie herself to a nunnery as she had told Daebi that she would do? Its a matter of preference. 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. Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. My thoughts exactly, the ending felt disconnected from the rest of the plot. I agree with you that I would have liked to seen Yi Heon's back story pre crazy King and addiction. Still beautiful though. It was pretty good Korean Soap Opera but so much tragedy and I did want Haskan to have survived for his happy ending but not to be. People who watch sageuks want historically acurrate stories, right? The sweeping under the rug of the regicide, adultery, and treasonous impersonation issues was problematic for me. 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. Recaps done buy the Sageuk Queen HeadsNo.2 (We miss you, @headsno2 ) and filled with the snarkiest comments and jokes, most creative beanie poems, enjoyable analysis and historical trivia, all provided by the most fun, experienced and intellectual beanies EVER to date. That relationship? Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. At the very least, he would have to be conflicted about it, because he was only obeying Haksans orders because they came from the king or were in the kings best interests. But then theres no indication he ever did learn the truth, and he kept serving Ha Seon as king, and the show then tried to pass off him dying to save Ha Seon (after Ha Seon has already abdicated the throne) as being the same thing as dying in the line of duty as a royal guard. The King comes back later, as a cameo and as an excuse for conflict but we will kill him off because he's really not important to the Clown's story now; he's in the way. It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. This was my first YJG drama and it is hard to believe he is only 21 years old. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); Also, what a complete waste of what I could have accepted as an okay last 10-15 minutes, or even, heck, half an hour if they'd just used their common sense while writing the damn thing. Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. My thoughts are the queen died of a broken heart when she learned the king was dead. Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance), a British Royal Navy . I've watched enough sageuks to understand the ethos even if I don't always personally agree with it, and am disturbed when social conventions and obligations of earlier historical periods are flouted, or treated as if they don't exist. ). He never had a chance to be anything other than a plot device that was promptly forgotten. Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? But hes not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. Enjoy it all you want. They knew from the beginning that Ha Sun will have to step down. Nothing was making sense anymore. He deserves it . Me, too. Shiver!! Nothing like watching our protagonist send off his master in the most glorious way to jerk some priceless tears. She showed no remorse for him being gone after that point. KINGDOM, alas, also got short shrift from me because it was too much to juggle with CROWNED CLOWN. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. Jin-goo has indeed been phenomenal. Or give me a modern hospital with IV's and other life support for people who spend two years in a coma. I wished we had more time to get to know Yoon Park's character cuz I wanted to get attached/root for him. This is a Absurd. They had more than a few epic interludes. Cingu, I promise to read your essay but right now I gotta get away from the Cray Cray for a few hours and take a nap or something. It's Moon lovers; Scarlet heart, Ryeo. In addition, hell kill Minister Shin and Prince Jin-pyung for what happened at the assembly. Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. 1. And the drama did well as well. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. Ugh! 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. If it was any other drama it would gain only a few comments which would decrease over time, but MLSHR had 2000 comments within few hours even during the last episodes!! I'm interested to see what's up his sleeve in his forthcoming drama. SINOPSIS The Crowned Clown : Joseon dalam keadaan kacau karena pemberontakan dan perebutan kekuasaan di sekitar Raja Lee Hun yang diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. You're making good progress with JEONG DO JEON. I enjoy things I also think are objectively bad. Shin Chi Soo, Queen Dowager and Prince Jinpyeong(?) He believes that nobody should sit on the throne who wants to use it for personal gain, and that he wants to step down because he wants to go back to being one of the people. So I dropped it. Monk Jung Saeng agrees that Minister Lee wouldnt want them to die for nothing. I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. Without him, we wouldn't have a clown to be crowned. While Ha Sun is studying in the library, Eunuch Jo says that he hasnt been sleeping and suggests he go to bed early. Let me say it again. Jung Il-woo is giving a fine performance as Prince Lee Geum. And all conflict and tension that should exist because of a Clown being a fake King on a throne and surrounded by people that want to kill him, goes away. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. 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. 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. 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. And do not had any problem wit it. Lord Giseong agrees, saying that a kings job is to approve court discussions and take responsibility for the consequences, not wield power as he pleases, and Ha Sun regards him thoughtfully. Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. 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?? Nope it was kinda too long. Honestly, its not even the underlying moral issues that are never addressed by this show, although sure they annoy me on a personal level, and I have argued about them till Kingdom come; its that a core ingredient for plot and character was just IGNORED in order for them to try and push the story they wanted to tell. The story was presented more in depth and the characters were complex and interesting. And OOC*. if (d.getElementById(id)) return; 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. I have a few minutes here and there but this show needs my full attention lol. Did he wish on one of his hazelnuts?! The king very much liked practical jokes. The writing, on the other hand, definitely the weakest link. 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. The story takes place in Joseon period, when power struggles surrounding the throne had reached extreme levels. At the start of the story, we could see that he gave up, he was just in damage control task. After wrapping up the loose ends with both Queen Dowager and Sin Chi Soo, we skip forward a year (or so I presume due to the first dialogue exchange). 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. I'm getting into water-over-the-dam territory.
