the crowned clown ending explained

It's fine if they want to tell the story of a Crowned Clown- what's not fine is HOW they chose to go about doing it in this particular scenario. That relationship? Minister Lee. Perhaps because of unavoidable comparison, CROWNED CLOWN has come up a bit short. She showed no remorse for him being gone after that point. It made me think that the PD doesn't have enough control over one of the most important departments of a Sageuk, which is Wardrobe and aesthetics department. 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. And after all that complaining, that was where it truly felt like an ending, except for what happened during those two years. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? 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. And their casts were first-rate. . Even more than the king/clown swap, I loved the smaller stories about Ha Suns relationships, both with his existing family and the new one he cultivated in the palace. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. He existed as a fully fledged character. He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here now. }); 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 queen dowager snarls that he promised to confess, realizing that this is a trap. 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. I am waiting for several upcoming dramas. ;-). That seemed so unnatural. I felt so angry that the ending felt like some type of trap for me. And it becomes very boring to watch. And I always love reading your reviews. The whole idea was for the clown to step in temporarily because they are bound by the custom and rules of that time period. Royalty? Enjoy it all you want. // Load the SDK asynchronously He was the king without the crown, the mastermind. PS: You're not a punk. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Nothing like watching our protagonist send off his master in the most glorious way to jerk some priceless tears. Thank you for recapping CROWNED CLOWN, @lollypip, especially as it is not the only drama on your plate. He says hes been planning this since the rebellion, because the throne doesnt belong to him hes only been borrowing it. 9 is following him into the sageuk? Legacy? He falls to the ground, and although Moo-young tries to hold Ha Sun back, he breaks away and runs to cradle Minister Lees head in his arms. I enjoyed the it. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. They just look at each other for a long time, then So-woon says that she has this dream all the time, but when she approaches, he usually disappears. At a couple of points in the past two years, I was simultaneously live-watching 9-10 dramas along with older shows and films. The ending is meh.. Monk Jung Saeng agrees that Minister Lee wouldnt want them to die for nothing. N.B. And thats really poor writing. This probably means I have to watch "Vincenzo" to find out what Kim Hee-won's visual style is.) The queen dowager screams at the ministers to challenge Ha Sun, but they all stand silently in support of their king. Ohh man. But then I wonder: "Why two years? there could have been a slight nod to MASQUERADE by perhaps having Ha-seon and So-woon leaving on a vessel pulling from shore with maybe Moo-young on shore making a bow; 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. It's taking all my concentration, too. So-woon had sobbed that if Ha Suns body wasnt there, he must be alive somewhere. Loved loved loved this drama till the ending Alas, it never materialized. I especially enjoyed his sound effects of Yi Heon on a bender. 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. Ha Sun says he has a lot more reading to do and sends Eunuch Jo on to bed, but later So-woon finds him asleep on the table. It made Ha Sun sound like the Winter General's bartender sister in HWAYUGI. They didn't really expose that at the beginning. And even that wouldn't have happened if Lee Jun-ki wasn't leading the drama basically single-handedly! And even I would be interested, and was interested, in seeing what this story looks like. 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 . Got bored reading the comments with such fervor to bring the drama down. I'm still trying to catch up with HAECHI. It wasnt explicitly said, but I believe that once he had gotten revenge on Minister Shin and the queen dowager, he realized that hed been using the throne for his own personal reasons and thats why he abdicated to someone who could truly put the country first. 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. LollyPip, thanks for the recap. The premise of this show is the story of a Clown who became King. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. At the start of the story, we could see that he gave up, he was just in damage control task. Shes the most despicable queen dowager ever, worth being poisoned to death immediately afterwards. 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? I was perfectly okay with the ending. But I guess they all live together happily ever after. The King? 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). document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); 1) The Last Of Us Episode 5 Recap & Review, 2) The Interest Of Love Episode 16 Recap, Review & Ending Explained, 6) Crash Course in Romance Episode 9 Recap & Review, 8) Magic Mikes Last Dance Ending Explained, 10) You Season 4 Episode 1 Recap & Review.

And then they walk off into the sunset andwhat? Both were major distress-inducers.) So after the preliminary introductions, they used Yi Heon as a plot device, to get the Clown into the Kings position and then they abandoned the King. 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 just wanted the man to be happy. And I loved the drums. She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. I think @kiara tipped me off about it. I was lucky, it was so beautiful about music, acting, costumes, and I appreciated that there was balance between politics and romance. In a new interview with Broadcast, Suzanne Mackie explained that showrunner . However, the clown is a dual symbol. My take on the ending is that they reunited in death. I honestly also would prefer this ending, as this is more fitting of the whole narrative. Lets break this down. :). The king very much liked practical jokes. Ha Sun kept his nose to the grindstone, and lined up a successor. But then they killed Yi Heon off, and Ha Sun was just too inconsequential for me. 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. 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. I wanted to try a sageuk, and picked TCC to discuss about it here on DB. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring. I'll have to go back and rewatch it. There have been worse plot resolutions. We learn that the soldiers who arrived just in time were General Kims, Lord Yoos old friend. ;-). FB.init({ I too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. Poof. (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. Voc sabe quem mandou matar o Ha Seon no final da srie? Sigh. Shiver!! Please enter your username or email address. The Crowned Clown had so much potential, but most of it was gone by the second half of the drama. B) He's attacked and left for dead. General Kim advises Ha Sun to order the rebels to surrender, but Ha Sun says theres something he must do first. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. I was confused too about why the queen dowager spoke to Ha Sun as the king. It did its intended purpose. Excellent performance by Kim Sang-kyung. 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! Ever since she promised to protect the clown, everyone keep serving her chopped onions. I am relatively new to historical dramas but I am enjoying them. The ending was really beautiful. 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. Thank you, fellow Beanies, for your thoughtful and thought-provoking comments. The ending of The Crown season 5 centers on Queen Elizabeth II's (Imelda Staunton) dramatic feelings of obsolescence while Prince Charles (Dominic West) fruitlessly campaigns for greater stature as the future King and the tragic fate of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) hangs in the air. You didn't like it that doesn't mean others shouldn't like it. Great points. 7-8 of HAECHI before today, but no such luck. 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. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { FB.init({ Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. And its not because I didnt get the ending that I wanted that makes me sad. He deposed the queen and abdicated, then suddenly passed away. The writing, on the other hand, definitely the weakest link. The King, all his loves, fears, weaknesses and strengths, his idiosyncrasies, his handwriting, his tone of voice, he as a person, already has to exist before the Clown can pretend to be him. 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. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; 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. It was unconvincing. Then why have him shot at and left for dead? 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. Let me say it again. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. That's how much attention to details that was being paid to the king and his daily routine. Prolly will make the beeeest drama with 0 plotholes and AMAZING storyline. Ha Sun writes out his abdication, then stamps it with the royal seal. The reason why this never happened in Joseon is because of the way they keep tap on the king's every movement. With a satisfying conclusion and impressive cinematography throughout, this Korean drama makes for quite the impressive showing. or My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. He promises that hell never become an animal who uses his power for personal gain, and that hell do whats right even when hes scared. But Ha Sun states that he has committed no crimes, because the secret letter was his way of protecting the nation, which is his duty as king. In the summer of 1997, Diana did take her. Another girl suggested The king loves. 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.~) They suggest he bring in a new concubine to give him a son, and even So-woon thinks he should do it. that is not a given that's how it's scripted for sure. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. I'm glad I tuned in. So many relationships were built up during the tumultuous happenings just to do this :/. 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 ). I expected that Haksan would perish, and am not surprised he took Prince Jin-pyung with him. Welcome to the world of sageuks. I am glad you enjoyed TCC. But I dont know the Clown. See you over at HAECHI, which I am enjoying so far. Well have the full season review written up shortly but for now, its fair to say the show ended on a well-deserved high. I personally think they could have used the King's death and still told an interesting and important story. Jang Gwang. Chief Royal Secretary is dead. I am mad, salty, disappointed, call it what you will, at the mistreatment of the King as a written and constructed character. Please tell me I'm not the only one who viewed the ending as an open-ended one! I loved this drama as you said it wasn't perfect in every way but still it was great in many ways. 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. The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be. You know, I was angry at the How I Met Your Mother finale, like really, spitting flames type angry. Without him, we wouldn't have a clown to be crowned. appId : '127538621120543', Ha Sun says shakily that its not a dream, but that hes walked endlessly in a dream to find her. Because there were no consequences for the King as a pre-existing character. I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. 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. The Clown : Yeo Jin Gu really acted him very well, showing the subtil evolution from a simple puppet to a real King. It was a peculiar incident. But I dont know the Clown. Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. Yeo Jin-goo. Thats not all though as we soon find out. 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. . It showed his past. Like you, I'll pray to the Drama Gods that we be preserved from simultaneous sageuk scheduling in the future. I watched the first 15 minutes or so and knew how they would treat the king's character that I couldn't stand to watch anymore. Thank you @lollypip for recapping THE CROWNED CLOWN. 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.

The problem is, is that the show did not actually want to tell the story of the King AND the Clown. Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. They showed a lot of "dream-like" features for that last scene in particular which suggested how they both died and are actually meeting at the after life : ( ( ( (. Yes me too. Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King. It WAS a good decision for Ha Seon to abdicate.

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. It can be a pretty bad thing. Again, why? Gimme a break! Dal-lae should have reunited with Ha Sun. 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!! The palace is thrown into turmoil and at the center of this chaos is our clown King, Ha Sun.
