Connect with Facebook I'll definitely read it. It was the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. When she gave her rings away and they found his compass. There was a king and one of the his guards at the door looked very much like him, an uncanny resemblance. Thanks for sticking through this for me! The end was quite disapointing, I mean the jump in the future was useless. 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 ). Gimme a break! She orders Ha Sun to confess to colluding with Aisin Gurun and disrespecting Ming, their ally. I truly enjoyed the drama's cinematography, particularly the outdoor settings. This shows single and greatest flaw, therefore, is ignoring the consequences of the King as a pre-existing character as determined by the premise of the show itself. Nobody knows why. Writer: Shin Ha Eun (The Crowned Clown) Cast: Shin Min Ah as Yoon Hye Jin, Kim Seon Ho as Hong Du Shik, Lee Sang Yi as Ji Sung Hyun Streaming Source: Netflix Plot Synopsis: A big-city dentist opens up a practice in a close-knit seaside village, home to a charming jack-of-all-trades who is her polar opposite in every way. Dal-Rae and the entertainers continue to please the masses while the new King successfully implements the Dae Dong Policy across the region. Fictional or not, no sageuk has ever dare to change the royal line of Joseon. The Crown Season 5 ending explained The episode begins with the Royal Family agreeing to the decommissioning of the royal yacht, Brittania. ;-), "From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, ..", I can't agree more than this. 2. Strangely, the gates are wide open and the courtyard empty, so Minister Shin halts the soldiers and looks around suspiciously. And its not ministers its just one minister, others didn't want to believe it. What if she had killed herself in that field and seeing him was an illusion? I said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? The clown is a symbol of the mind. 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). She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. My mind has a mind of its own, and it's like herding cats. From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, the drama always felt confident and assured, and I loved the beautiful way it told Ha Suns story. Its just as J Star said: Unanswered questions. It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. Thats not all though as we soon find out. No no. I briefly thought the show was trying to say that Cray Cray's Cray was entirely due to the environment he was living in. I was devastated with the ending, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. That is, a Clown, who is the spitting image of the King, becomes king. 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). What a complete waste of time. Both of them walked right into Ha Sun's traps. 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. The uncanny, period-inappropriate costumes, hairstyles, makeup and actors turned me off right at the VERY beginning of the drama. Not bashing the show, these are just my thoughts. LOL! Even once a few people found out about Ha Seons identity, they for the most part just went on treating him like he was the real king all along, like Yi Heon didnt exist. I loved the show but we need to know How he survived. 5. Once again sweeping this fact under the rug. (In case you don't know, it's a weekly article we had then to publish the BEST comments of the week. Nooo, not Moo-young! So-woon had sobbed that if Ha Suns body wasnt there, he must be alive somewhere. Starring: Yeo Jin-goo, Lee Se-young, Kim Sang-kyung Creators: Kim Hee-won, Kim Seon-deok, Shin Ha-eun Watch all you want. 4 Recommended by Shawarma I never doubted that Ha Sun was capable of being a true king, but seeing him come into his own strength and take on his enemies himself, outsmart them, and return the nation to peace was extremely satisfying. It was like he was never her childhood friend or first love, it was like her past husband never existed once the Clown declared his love for her. Lee Bang-won in Six Flying Dragons who murdered his mentor and is thus one of my favorite characters of all time). So-woon insists, saying that shes enjoyed hearing about someone she admires. Or am I confused? But i am happy to see in other forums and under youtube comments majority liked it. Since Writer-nim didn't bother to reveal who patched up Ha Sun and kept him safe while he recovered, I'll fill in the blanks by assuming that he somehow ended up in the care of Doctor Monk. And nobody likes him anyway, right? What was the point? Better late than never is the best I can do these days.

I dont understand where he was for 2 years, This outstanding! What is the limit between good and bad? Nope it was kinda too long. But in this episode, she was complaining about how late he was, and I felt like she shouldn't blame Ha Sun for disappearing like that, and it felt weirdly worded and not as executed well as I thought. 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. This kind of doppelganger plot makes more sense in the movie. He was the king without the crown, the mastermind. 4 Jul 2021. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. In the summer of 1997, Diana did take her. But then they killed Yi Heon off, and Ha Sun was just too inconsequential for me. 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. 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! The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be. 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. I enjoyed the it. I love how real his performance was. That is the amount of respect or rather fear a king was able to inflict upon others in those days. Im kind of glad I wasnt in the mood for this one, even for Jin-goo. Eventually, the rice payment law goes into effect in a few southern provinces to begin. I liked seeing the leads, the romance was sweet to the point of unbelievable, but what the heck. But for the ending, thats a 4/10 for me. Actually not a copy paste historically accurate like the history channel but more about historically sensitive etc. Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. But thankfully it didn't. In the courtyard, she never loses her hostile pride as she drinks the poison and succumbs to its effects. What was the point? O/T but can I suggest that you maybe jump over to HAECHI and give it a try? 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 . Moo Young should have survived. Connect with Facebook 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. 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. Y U GOTTA KILL OFFICER JANG?! It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. He explains that he doesnt wish to give the throne to a child of his blood, so hes been watching the officials for a suitable successor, and he thinks Lord Giseong is the best choice. I expected that Haksan would perish, and am not surprised he took Prince Jin-pyung with him. According to Nielsen Korea, the highly-anticipated March 4 finale of the historical drama achieved the drama's highest viewership. That was during my first DB live-watch, OH HAE-YOUNG AGAIN, which got into some trippy metaphysics. He existed as a fully fledged character. Like, we see the Queen leaving her Lady behind to go for a walk. Hasun implemented a controversial tax law and opposed the Ming. It's songs were crappy, but the instrumentals hold their ground against even Dae Jang-geum and Arang and the Magistrate instrumentals. I give the story, props and acting 9/10 and Haksun (Chief Secretary) could get an 11/10 for his acting alone. And i also think the doppelganger part is seemingly only the possible way to a mere clown to become a king. You're a neophyte. Irrelevant time frame. The premise of this show is the story of a Clown who became King. 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. Yeo Jin-goo. 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! 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. She notes that this is her first time seeing the throne in person, and that Prince Yul is dead, but her blood will soon sit on the throne. But I dont know the Clown. EPISODE 16 RECAP He begs Ha Sun to let him send Minister Lee to his people, but Moo-young warns Ha Sun that opening the gates right now is too dangerous with the rebels right outside. 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 . In January of the Year of the Black Pig, the king suppressed the rebel forces and ruled the nation wisely. And I loved the drums. Keith Bernstein/Netflix. The doppelganger part.

Then not explain the gap of two years Distracted, Moo-young tries to get to Ha Sun, but hes stopped by a sword through the chest. It was a treat to see Jang Gwang reprise his film role as the King's eunuch. Stretching it A LOT, but okay. I agree regarding Moo Youngs death. Hence I've been making an effort to be somewhat detached and not take CROWNED CLOWN too personally. One that is like a wolf trying to be a sheep and telling everyone that it is a sheep, when its actually still a wolf. Both were major distress-inducers.) // Load the SDK asynchronously LollyPip, thanks for the recap. She says that Ha Sun stole the throne from Prince Yul, and that she may drink poison and die, but shes not the loser, because Ha Sun will be remembered as the king who killed his mother. He stands before Minister Lees casket one last time, remembering his friend saying that he taught him about the importance of trust and bowing to him as his king. anyway. 3.2/4 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). There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. Unnecessary death of the officer. The part that pleased me was when he went to the first tournament and how cleverly he won during archery, or with the dog having that tiger cloth near his hand to confuse the dogs. Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. Meanwhile, MLSHR had ALL the potential to be THE Sageuk of the decade, but it tanked, epically.
