Because it seeemed that he was a good Crown Prince until his dad died and made this stupid discour before. You will receive a link to create a new password via email. It was about the time due to the constant conflict among the delegates of his courts. Enjoy it all you want. (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. 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. They just wanted to show the Clown as King. Jin-goo has indeed been phenomenal. The problem is, is that the show did not actually want to tell the story of the King AND the Clown. The Crowned Clown gave us characters to hate and root for. 7-8 of HAECHI before today, but no such luck. However, the clown is a dual symbol. So-woon had refused to accept it until theyd given her the compass, which theyd found next to Moo-youngs body. They knew from the beginning that Ha Sun will have to step down. Who did take care of him all this time?" The reason why this never happened in Joseon is because of the way they keep tap on the king's every movement. Prince Jin-pyung is in bad shape from his gut wound, but he tries to act like its nothing when the queen dowager visits him. 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. 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! And thats really poor writing. Btw, it's wonderful to see you back on the comment section <3. Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. I had to chuckle over his interpretation of Ha Sun's name ("summer fairy"). anyway. 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. The show had its flaws, as they all do. 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. Yes @kiara. But then I wonder: "Why two years? Shin Chi Soo, Queen Dowager and Prince Jinpyeong(?) All Rights Reserved. Early on there were comments about the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode of TCC. If you have time, do go to MLSHR recaps and threads, even if you don't watch it. 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. The King? 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. It makes me soooo maaadddd!!! The Perron family is greeted by evil just as they arrive at the farmhouse. DEFINITELY MLDBC!! Ha Sun orders the ministers waiting outside to enter. The final scene in the grassland was beautiful. So-woon sits quietly in Ha Suns rooms while he mulls over everything thats happened. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. I liked seeing the leads, the romance was sweet to the point of unbelievable, but what the heck. 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. His fears. And OOC*. 9 is following him into the sageuk? He existed as a fully fledged character. Unfortunately, the drama version ending didn't give us much closure and added more questions that needed to be answer. And I almost didnt even watch the reunion scene at the end because I knew exactly how it would play out. Thanks for noting that Yoon Park portrayed Ha Sun's successor, Lord Giseong. It turns out to be a trap though that he walks right into. 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. I cannot believe that Lord Shin would have allowed himself to walk into a trap. The upcoming CHRONICLES OF ASDAL, set during Gojoseon days.) 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. Thinking the faulty thing has zero faults and loving it under THAT impression? He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here now. And why didn't the rebels have scouts out to spot the approaching relief army? It showed the King, as a character. I know its a tragedy but why so confusing. So many relationships were built up during the tumultuous happenings just to do this :/. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. Me, too. 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. O/T but can I suggest that you maybe jump over to HAECHI and give it a try? Not bashing the show, these are just my thoughts. Chief Royal Secretary is dead. For those who are interested and have watched the whole drama, I wrote an essay on why I interpreted it as a tragedy: file:///Users/zozosparklesicloud.com/Downloads/The%20Crowned%20Clown%20(1).pdf. They look at each other lovingly for a long time, then Ha Sun takes So-woons hand, and they walk home together. Jang Gwang's steady presence was a joy -- especially when Eunuch Jo was blending into the woodwork and meticulously inspecting the curtain pull while Haksan was going ballistic over Ha Sun early in his residency at court. LOL! He hands her a letter from Ha Sun, which says that if she promises not to punish his people, he will confess his crimes and hand over the royal seal. I hate the use of the magic random separation time generator, ( henceforth referred to as the CRM-114 Discriminator ), as its license for the writer to just make up any old thing, the off screen magic that takes place helps tidy things up, loose plot lines melt away, (or not), in the last five minutes. So, I'm genuinely happy you got CROWNED CLOWN as your 1st Sageuk. Like you, I'm only live-watching one drama at present, having dropped both TRAP and ITEM. She points the way he went, and So-woon hurries in that direction until she sees a man in blue clothing. I said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? One day, Ha Suns ministers bring up the fact that hes led the country to a time of peace, but hes still produced no heirs. When Kab-soo and Dal-rae's clown troupe arrived where Ha Sun had intended to rendezvous with the former Queen, I wondered how the guardian managed to leave his job working for the navy in Ha Sun's hometown. No man can serve two masters. I expected a pair of little ones running in the yard! Like you, I'll pray to the Drama Gods that we be preserved from simultaneous sageuk scheduling in the future. Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time. I'm gonna stick to my version, the ending of this series was right after he installed the Tax Law. Ho-geol requests some time off, so Ha Sun suggests he take a working vacation to Jeju Island to see how the people like the new law, which is obviously not what Ho-geol had in mind. And Ill always be confused why the queen dowager knew that Ha Sun was an impostor, but she spoke to him as if he were Yi Heon (saying that he killed Prince Yul and stole the throne), when she had the chance to out him to the entire court. Thats not all though as we soon find out. (function(d, s, id) { fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; The whole idea was for the clown to step in temporarily because they are bound by the custom and rules of that time period. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. A) Ha Seon gives up the throne. Gap-soo and Dal-lae have rejoined their clown troupe. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page 2. I was perfectly okay with the ending. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. 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. 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. 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. And clothes? Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? Or well he did but not the important ones. The recaps were enough. Hmmm. xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page 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. Ha Sun had learned they were on their way earlier in the day, and had made his plan based on when they were expected to arrive. In my view, the story went downhill after Yi Heons death because almost nothing that was set up before then had any serious consequences. It's simply epic! I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. That is, a Clown, who is the spitting image of the King, becomes king. 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. I'm interested to see what's up his sleeve in his forthcoming drama. Even MLSHR didn't do that, although MLSHR overall was crappier than KL. Also, I long awaited the story of how the twins were born and one was sent away so both were equally Royal. But still could not convince other ministers because if they were proved wrong they will loose their necks. Gone. I hate sounding petty, but, uh, what? Jang Gwang. Please enlighten us. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. Your email address will not be published. Its based on Ha Suns name, which means summer fairy, and Eunuch Jo says it perfectly suits him because hes like the summer sun that shines equally over everyone. You're a neophyte. On his way to meet up with So-woon, Ha Sun senses someone behind him and whirls but whew, its only Moo-young. 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. Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King. I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! It's taking all my concentration, too. Another example would be the queen: after her suicide cliff attempt, she acted like shed been married to Ha Seon all along instead of Yi Heon. I was also wishing and hoping to get more of Yi Heon's pre-addiction backstory. Yes me too. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. I'm going to miss this drama. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. But the Clown woke him up and he realized he could do good for korean people. Whatever you want to argue the reason for this was, and whatever you want to argue the reason for Ha Seon blithely forgiving him for this was, and whatever the argument posed for whether Haksan was good or bad, does not matter. Not a big time period. In the courtyard, she never loses her hostile pride as she drinks the poison and succumbs to its effects. In Episode 8 of "The Crown", we followed the controversial Martin Bashir interview with Diana and how that shook the monarchy. Two years pass by and we see So Woon a broken shell of the woman she once was. 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; That relationship? Ae-young tells So-woon that the clowns are in town, and she gets a look of desperate hope in her eyes. Do not base it on a doppelganger trope, only to IGNORE the implications and potential and importance of that doppelganger trope. The character had reached the point of no return and the "goings-comings" between the Palace and the outside would have been boring. He had no backstory. @sicarius He had no backstory. 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. In addition, hell kill Minister Shin and Prince Jin-pyung for what happened at the assembly. Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! It made Ha Sun sound like the Winter General's bartender sister in HWAYUGI. The Crown is unlikely to continue past a sixth season, the Netflix show's executive producer has confirmed. The Crown Season 5: Ending Explained | Full Spoiler Review & The Real Life True Story That Could Inspire Season 6. He deposed the queen and abdicated, then suddenly passed away. Thank you for the suggestion, @marcusnyc20, I will try Haechi in the future :), Congrats on your 1st Sageuk! Kwon Hae-hyo delivered with bells on in the ruthless social-climbing department until Lord Shin inexplicably lost the plot at the end of the show. Or is he just slow witted when it comes to matters like his own safety? Was she too pure to have sex? If it was a challenge to my Sageuk Sages @kiara and @pakalanapikake then this sageuk punk is in good company. Which is why it is still very (in)famous, known as the "MLSHR Phenomenon". I hope you get to see many many wonderful sageuks in the future!, Thank you very much, @peony!!! Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. That is the amount of respect or rather fear a king was able to inflict upon others in those days. Stretching it A LOT, but okay. It's not surprising a lot of people think that Cray Cray's death was a narrative mistake. And its not because I didnt get the ending that I wanted that makes me sad. The uncanny, period-inappropriate costumes, hairstyles, makeup and actors turned me off right at the VERY beginning of the drama. If he ever has to hang his acting hat on a piece of his work in my mind all he has to say is: episodes 7 and 8 in TTC. 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. But i am happy to see in other forums and under youtube comments majority liked it. The cliffhangers and the drums-terrific; and What was the point? Director Kim Hee-won is a new discovery for me, and I definitely see why everyone praised her as they did. Because, when making a sad ending, you have to make it believable enough so that the viewer does not feel like theyre being unnecessarily hurt. Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. I personally like the movie better. In January of the Year of the Black Pig, the king suppressed the rebel forces and ruled the nation wisely. It's like you've scooped every single thought I had about this waste of potential right out of my brain and put it in better words. He only existed to play the King and become the King, at the expense of the King. You're making good progress with JEONG DO JEON. FB.init({ It was a peculiar incident. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); In a desperate attempt to protect their young king from assassination, a decoy is put on the throne. But Yeo Jin Gu is awesome throughout the drama, i love him. ;-). The entire thing? 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. 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. [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=. It's a pity at that time I wasn't on DB, it sounds a so fun experience! A. 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. And Haksan dying- so what. Even jin pyong and dowager queen found it out in the last minute and the whole thing happened within 3, 4 months. Yeahthere should be a flash back. Gotta say though, I did enjoy the political aspect of this series even if it was neglected in the last couple of episodes. But i don't think thats what happened. 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. 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 cast and crew can be proud of their production; Thank you, Peony, I'll give a look if I have time. Absolutely no repercussions, to the King even existing, let alone the Clown taking the throne and the King dying. I didnt watch more than the first episode, but to kill off such a central character and then not resolve the conflict that the murder would have caused would have been an utterly frustrating watch for me as well.
