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. Monk Jung Saeng agrees that Minister Lee wouldnt want them to die for nothing. 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). Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? 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. He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here now. Lets break this down. But he's not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. Do not base it on a doppelganger trope, only to IGNORE the implications and potential and importance of that doppelganger trope. That there was a progression to his devolution and, put into the same environment, the Clown was going to start to devolve the same way. That is, a Clown, who is the spitting image of the King, becomes king. 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. 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. 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. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. An emotional farewell with Eunuch Jo (now Royal Secretary Jo) ensues and Ha Sun leaves the palace for good, following after So Woon who left the palace just before he did. 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. 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. But still if you look exactly like the king and sitting on the throne no one would dare to question you, unless you are bold like shin and he knew what he was talking about. 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. Maybe if you have a better way to say it one day you will get a chance to write a drama yourself. Like I said, it's a fairly good and fairly solid Sageuk, preserving at least the "vibe" you expect from a Sageuk. 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. Unnecessary death of the officer. And even that wouldn't have happened if Lee Jun-ki wasn't leading the drama basically single-handedly! }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Please enter your username or email address. I liked the acting, the cinematography, the music themes, the multilayered characters. The transition is close. Rather i think its because its extremely rare (almost impossible) to find a doppelganger who matches you in everyway to the extent that you are even able fool most intimate people like wives, closest servants etc. The survival of the great majority allows everything? And I'm not alone, for Beans of Wisdom threads can prove you that. In JDJ we are now with the last King of Goryeo, Gongyang. Nope it was kinda too long. 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; ;-). Director Kim Hee-won is a new discovery for me, and I definitely see why everyone praised her as they did. There was a king and one of the his guards at the door looked very much like him, an uncanny resemblance. And clothes? Dodi wants his father to meet his girlfriend Kelly, an . The prince appear for less than a whole minute, says a couple of pretty obvious statements and I'm supposed to believe he's meant to rule? I was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. *(Out of Character: not a logical decision for the character to make based on how they have acted previously). FB.init({ Both Moo-young and Eunuch Jo advise Ha Sun to have him come to the capital to protect him, but Ha Sun says that people will be killed if Aisin Gurun attacks. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page I seriously think they changed writers in the second half. 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. Thats my point. That's a leap as big as Everest, but okay, fine. :). He was awesome!! ;-). And this show started out like that. 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. 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. In my view, the story went downhill after Yi Heons death because almost nothing that was set up before then had any serious consequences. Jin-goo has indeed been phenomenal. I have no qualms about it. Hurting herself means kind of killing herself and finding him in afterlife i guess but i don't think thats how it happened. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. I personally think they could have used the King's death and still told an interesting and important story. 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. 1. They want to show his loyalty via his death ? Ugh! I will remember his Eunuch Jo for a long time. KINGDOM, alas, also got short shrift from me because it was too much to juggle with CROWNED CLOWN. He should have walked away, been protected by the officer, who would then accompany him as he returned to the village incognito to meet up with his sister and the queen. Everything was inconsistent. Ha Sun kept his nose to the grindstone, and lined up a successor. Like, we see the Queen leaving her Lady behind to go for a walk. The Crown season 4 ended with Christmas at Balmoral. And nobody found out the Clown wasnt the King because the King is dead. 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. Even MLSHR didn't do that, although MLSHR overall was crappier than KL. Then why have him shot at and left for dead? js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; 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. Ha Sun orders the ministers waiting outside to enter. What is the limit between good and bad? 3.1/4 Gimme a break! I'm glad I tuned in. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. Ah.I just can't forget how foolhardy Hasun was to leave without protection when he knew that he had so many people against him. 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. Youre amazing cuz you even got the queen dowager to agree. Seriously reviewing shows is too exhausting; I rather like @hotcocoagirls idea of Yi Heon returning as a vampire, and becoming a sullen loose canon on the Officer Jang and Uri Mathematician investigative team. The recaps were enough. She orders Ha Sun to confess to colluding with Aisin Gurun and disrespecting Ming, their ally. And even I would be interested, and was interested, in seeing what this story looks like. And thats really poor writing. 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? The two could have wandered the country checking that new reforms were taking place. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. I loved the show but we need to know How he survived. Not because hes not royal, but because hes right that its not something that should belong to any one person, but should be used for the good of the people. Of course, they arent worth the time I suppose. The writing, on the other hand, definitely the weakest link. Because there were no consequences for the King as a pre-existing character. And after all that complaining, that was where it truly felt like an ending, except for what happened during those two years. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, A remake of the 2012 film Masquerade, the series centers on the tale of a Joseon King and his doppelganger, a clown whom he puts on the throne to escape the intense power struggles afflicting the royal court. Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. The basis of him getting on the throne was not exactly morally right anyway. All she got in return was a bitter forced suicide she was so misunderstood. 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. Hmmm. 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. Why not let him save Ha Seon and then serve him for those two magic years? And I absolutely loved the ending, with Ha Sun abdicating the throne, because Ive never felt okay with the idea of his keeping it when it really never belonged to him. The point I was trying to make in this essay, is that I think The Crowned Clown has objectively bad writing flaws- namely Yi Heon is an example of bad character writing, whether he dies or not (@leetennant) js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; 2. Minister Lee : he was really a great character. 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. I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. He basically committed suicide by cop, which makes no sense. I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. She asks why hes here and not Minister Shin, and he says that Minister Shin fell in battle, but that theyve got the king locked up. Peace has descended across the land and now the attention turns who the new heir to the throne may well be. So-woon says that now he understands the weight of the crown and can move forward, but that he can come to her when he needs a break, and shell always be there for him. After 15 episodes of drama, tension and romance we finally reach the conclusive chapter to this historical Korean show. Idk anymore. 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.. The Crown season 5 ends with Princess Diana preparing to take her sons Prince William and Prince Harry on a holiday to St. Tropez, organized by Al-Fayed. I was expecting more repercussions and a deeper analysis into these morally grey characters, but their actions, especially the murder of Yi Heon, were brushed over in simple strokes, diminishing the weight and impact of these moments. Which sounds all well good. Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. Ha Sun argues that the people in the palace are his people too, so he cant just abandon them to save himself. Which means they both died. The old grey mare ain't what she used to be. As is so aptly stated in NIRVANA IN FIRE, Time flows like water, and what has gone cannot come again. Give it a rest, Pakalana. But I guess they all live together happily ever after. Ha Sun sends a letter to the queen dowager asking her to halt her men for one day so he can pay proper respects to Minister Lee. or Now we agreed about Lookout too, so that doesnt surprise me. It was the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! His fears. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. Excellent performance by Kim Sang-kyung. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? 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?? He didnt die for any plot related reasons. But I'm still not sure how the Queen managed to stop feeling guilty over her initially inadvertent betrayal of Yi Heon. I was sorely disappointed by the ending. My favourite scene was the goodbyes between Eunuch Jo and the Clown, I really loved their relationship. 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). But Minister Shin and the queen dowager convinced themselves that their crimes were righteous and that they were morally innocent, when in reality they only wanted power and revenge.

Not king and the clown. He was responsible for the Queen Dowagers, Shin Chi Soo and the Princes deaths, plus the real King was a complete madman who was responsible for the Queen Dowagers fathers death and his half brothers death and many other atrocious things. appId : '127538621120543', So-woon tells him that hes done enough, and that she supports his decision. Lee Bang-won in Six Flying Dragons who murdered his mentor and is thus one of my favorite characters of all time). 1/4 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 Crowned Clown [1] ( Korean : ) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Yeo Jin-goo, Kim Sang-kyung, and Lee Se-young. Finally they live happily ever after.
