For So Woon, I could never handle her reaction to Ha Sun's disappearance, again. [ENG SUB] Lee Se Young interviews Yeo Jin Goo for Cosmopolitan KoreaPart 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJovfWJncToPart 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=. A character as significant and prominent as the King, doesnt even have to be on screen for anything that happens to him to be very important to how your plot plays out if you want your plot to make sense. Who wouldn't, if they were up against Hae Mo-su and his badass grandson?! But he tells her that hes been following the kings orders, and for his loyalty, Ha Sun forgives his crimes. In the summer of 1997, Diana did take her. It was an enjoyable show, very pretty. And after all that complaining, that was where it truly felt like an ending, except for what happened during those two years. They want to show his loyalty via his death ? The basis of him getting on the throne was not exactly morally right anyway. That was unfair!! He does as So-woon asks and sends her from the palace to wait for him while he ties up some loose ends, and they arrange to meet in the village soon. Yes @kiara. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. 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. The reason why this never happened in Joseon is because of the way they keep tap on the king's every movement. But thankfully it didn't. So-woon had refused to accept it until theyd given her the compass, which theyd found next to Moo-youngs body. (link to my Episode 8 write up because it wasnt letting me do it as a word hyperlink: http://www.dramabeans.com/members/sicarius/activity/709687/ ). (Oh, I was forgetting Eunuch Cho. 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 was a treat to see Jang Gwang reprise his film role as the King's eunuch. Then they reunited in death and walked off into the sunset. Please enter your username or email address. It made Ha Sun sound like the Winter General's bartender sister in HWAYUGI. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. A verification email has been sent to your new email address. Ha Sun tells Minister Shin, I will take your life and make you pay for stealing my letter, putting the border at risk, and endangering the capital for your personal gain.. That is what they wanted to tell. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 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. Meanwhile, MLSHR had ALL the potential to be THE Sageuk of the decade, but it tanked, epically. Legacy? But then they killed Yi Heon off, and Ha Sun was just too inconsequential for me. Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. Then, both Jang and the King could have remained somewhere and tended to their wounds. I suspect that having to contend with another court full of braying ministers was a bit too daunting. 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 ). The guard somehow managed to rule for few more years but was assassinated later. Gotta watch the final episode again.??? ;-). 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. Both were major distress-inducers.) A) Ha Seon gives up the throne. Again, why? I'll definitely read it. And I almost didnt even watch the reunion scene at the end because I knew exactly how it would play out. 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. (Lol. I personally think they could have used the King's death and still told an interesting and important story. Whether or not he was a lost cause because of his addictions, whether or not he was a bad husband or a bad King, is not relevant. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. I am mad, salty, disappointed, call it what you will, at the mistreatment of the King as a written and constructed character. Part of my detachment is also because of what for me were inadequate characterization, and plotting that at times strained my suspension of disbelief. Poop smell can change for illnesses as well haha. This on the hand was all over the place. (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. We see a couple discussing what went wrong in . Minister Lees body is taken into the palace, where Ho-geol sobs over him. (Cant remember if I read all of your wall before you broke DB, but still *nods*. She points the way he went, and So-woon hurries in that direction until she sees a man in blue clothing. She meets with Minister Shin, upset about how things went this morning, because when Prince Jin-pyung dies his soldiers will be demotivated. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, It was quite unpredictable and almost each episode ended with a cliffhanger . 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. Tags: Lee Se-young, The Crowned Clown, Yeo Jin-gu, Your email address will not be published. 3. Then why have him shot at and left for dead? End of story. And nobody likes him anyway, right? He was the king without the crown, the mastermind. It was about the time due to the constant conflict among the delegates of his courts. Whether you were satisfied with the finale or not, there's no doubt about it, The Crowned Clown delivered one heck of a rollercoaster ride for its finale. Couldnt stop watching. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; Would have been nice if Officer Jang could have had a chance at a normal life. She showed no remorse for him being gone after that point. They look at each other lovingly for a long time, then Ha Sun takes So-woons hand, and they walk home together. Yeah, I was all set to accept this final episode as whatever, its over and forget about it. Thanks for sticking through this for me! and so on. You're making good progress with JEONG DO JEON. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. And it was filled with MLSHR comments!) They have to go back and redo it!!! Still beautiful though. Hmmm. Im glad it was 16 episodes. 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. It WAS a good decision for Ha Seon to abdicate. Why was killing off all the bad guys done so poorly and quickly? Did he wish on one of his hazelnuts?! Auwe! I think @kiara tipped me off about it. Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. 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. episodes (13-16) I think it has found its groove (for me at least.) window.fbAsyncInit = function() { You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. . For a moment I thought the red clown was the king and would be the happy ending but was not , It was really good but it wouldve been better it had season it was so much left out . Hope his next drama also does well. They barely manage to suppress the assassins because..hasn't the King been shown to be excellent in archery and decent in using a sword? Episode 1 King Seonjo dies, and his fears about the fate of his youngest son Prince Yul come true when his successor Yi Heon (Gwanghae-gun) orders Prince Yul's arrest for treason. Gone. And it becomes very boring to watch. It was a great journey and Yeo Jin Gu really killed it. Though I really feel bad for our queen. Thats not all though as we soon find out. She presses a finger to the stress lines between his eyes, looking worried for him. His fears. On the other hand, MLSHR is QUITE the viewing experience, and I do NOT regret the time I spent on it al ALL even though it was crappy. Very sad but thoroughly enjoyed the series. 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 people's hero Woo Do-hwan is MBC's Joseon Lawyer, First look at Kim Seo-hyung in ENA's Paper Moon, Drama viewership ratings for the week of Feb. 20-26, 2023. Why stop there? When she gave her rings away and they found his compass. Then what was the point ofanything that ever happened in this show? My favourite scene was the goodbyes between Eunuch Jo and the Clown, I really loved their relationship. That being said I don't believe TCC passes either the probability or possibility test. Cant explain how the Queen died, but the whole scene implies that they are walking into eternity together. Ugh! Eventually she moves closer and takes his hand, and he tells her that this is the first time hes killed anyone, yet he has no regrets, and would do worse to protect the nation and its people. Jang Gwang. also the end was dreamlike, similar to the soft focus happy endings of Crash Landing on You but were these true endings or just wishful thinking? She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. Voc sabe quem mandou matar o Ha Seon no final da srie? N.B. 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. Set in the heart of Korea and split across sixteen 75 minute episodes, The Crowned Clown is a dramatic, politically charged series awash with tension, twists and turns. Thank you, fellow Beanies, for your thoughtful and thought-provoking comments. The Crown Season 5: Ending Explained | Full Spoiler Review & The Real Life True Story That Could Inspire Season 6. Hasun implemented a controversial tax law and opposed the Ming. Yi Heon and his contradictions with Ha Sun was truly the only reason why I was intrigued by TCC in the first place. As an audience, it was too easy to see these things in modern-day context instead of the context of the time period, where often, getting rid of someone, though a heinous choice, was often the only choice to protect the power of the throne (and thus the people). js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; The drama took some risks like killing off the king halfway, according to the actor who played haksan it was something they had in mind since the beginning. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. The upcoming CHRONICLES OF ASDAL, set during Gojoseon days.) @lovepark, I agree with you, especially with regard to: it was a bold move for the show to have Lee Kyu kill the king in secret and become the "king" from the shadows. Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. Sheesh. Thats my point. The survival of the great majority allows everything? Ta-da! And no maid will serve you water if youre not Team Good. 3.2/4 1/4 He says that even if he stepped down and one of them took the throne, the country would be okay. I liked seeing the leads, the romance was sweet to the point of unbelievable, but what the heck. 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. 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. Also I don't see why kill Moo Young in the last moment right when he had finally accepted Ha-Sun as his Master, it felt out of the blue. It's also funny how if you have slip up and say it backwards (like I often have), and you happen to say the word as spoonerism ( Clowned Crown) it still manages to highlight some of the show. 5. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. The ending, although not a disaster, definitely needs to be reworked. The queen dowager snarls that he promised to confess, realizing that this is a trap. He looked excellent. Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King. I cannot watch two sageuks at the same time without getting the details bollixed up, even if they're set in different time periods. And thats really poor writing. It helps to know that I am not the only one who struggled live watching two sageuks at the same time. appId : '127538621120543', JUMONG was simply momentous, with KINGDOM OF THE WINDS a worthy successor. The Crowned Clown [1] ( Korean : ) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Yeo Jin-goo, Kim Sang-kyung, and Lee Se-young. So-woon insists, saying that shes enjoyed hearing about someone she admires. But still could not convince other ministers because if they were proved wrong they will loose their necks. I hope you get to see many many wonderful sageuks in the future!, Thank you very much, @peony!!! At a couple of points in the past two years, I was simultaneously live-watching 9-10 dramas along with older shows and films. 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. :-) 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. It's not surprising a lot of people think that Cray Cray's death was a narrative mistake. It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. And their casts were first-rate. 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. Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. They didn't really expose that at the beginning. It was a character with a vision for his country. He had no backstory. But the Clown woke him up and he realized he could do good for korean people. 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. Then the death of Officer Jang and the unnecessary pain the Queen had to go through while grieving for Hasun. This is a Absurd. Honestly, his death was really a nice plot in the story. I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. all had loyal supporters! There are of course all the issues with adultery and what shouldve been her reaction given the historical context and even arguments about who was the better husband for her, but none of that is really that important or relevant because on a basic writing level, her character, after trying to commit suicide promptly forgot, or acted like the King as a character never existed and was never important. I thought I would have gotten caught up by now, but have held off until CROWNED CLOWN cleared the decks. I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. 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. It's a pity at that time I wasn't on DB, it sounds a so fun experience! I am now pushing on with JEONG DO JEON (35 of 50 episodes completed.) The drama version had put their own spin on it. For all the aforementioned reasons. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { 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. Thanks s lot for this essay! We the fans who stuck with MLSHR to the end instead of MLDBC, did it simply because of the lost potential that shone through the mess time to time, not because it was a better drama than MLDBC.
