the crowned clown ending explained

DEFINITELY MLDBC!! 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. On his way to meet up with So-woon, Ha Sun senses someone behind him and whirls but whew, its only Moo-young. His fears. Jung Bo-suk, Oh Man-seok, Kim Yeo-jin, and Jung Sung-mo are in it, which makes it very appealing. 5. 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. 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. It's not that King Loves is terrible, but if you put MLDBC, MLSHR and KL on a scale, KL veers more towards the extreme that is occupied by MLSHR, instead of the MLDBC extreme. They want to show his loyalty via his death ? That was unfair!! Which means they both died. Working myself into a lather wasn't good for me. Nevertheless, it takes me a while to get my thoughts in order, so I don't comment in a timely fashion. 3. I was still bitter with how they made the Kisaeng wait for Haksan for 20 years then bam Haksan's dead just when she thought she had a happy ending now this :/. 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. 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. He gave an incredible performance; 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. My take on the ending is that they reunited in death. P.S. 2. I know they were trying for something similar to the movie Dave but it did not work. Nothing was making sense anymore. This on the hand was all over the place. The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be. (In case you don't know, it's a weekly article we had then to publish the BEST comments of the week. And I'm very happy for YJG that he finally got a drama worthy of his talents. I think they could end it a better way but I was happy to see their reunion. The entire nation praised his great virtues. 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. Minister Lees body is taken into the palace, where Ho-geol sobs over him. Could it be that Lee Kyoung-young's recent turn as the Big Bad in supernatural thriller ROOM NO. She follows him, but eventually realizes that hes a stranger. People who watch sageuks want historically acurrate stories, right? Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance), a British Royal Navy . Everything was inconsistent. While some of the plotting did feel a little rushed at the end, especially with the 2 time jumps, for the most part Crowned Clown delivered a highly satisfying final episode. He takes special care packing the embroidered bag from So-woon and the compass she bought him in the marketplace. Hmmm. It would be boring if we knew what happens on the whole drama in a preview. ). Like, we see the Queen leaving her Lady behind to go for a walk. Moo-young yanks the sword from his own belly and uses it to kill the last assassin, as Ha Sun sinks to the ground. Distracted, Moo-young tries to get to Ha Sun, but hes stopped by a sword through the chest. 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 . Prince Jin-pyung lies alone, bleeding and gasping for water. Not bashing the show, these are just my thoughts. Poof. 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. General Kang asks whether he should bring his men to the capital or prepare to fight at the border. Yeah, I was all set to accept this final episode as whatever, its over and forget about it. It saddens me that my sister can't do the same. It's not surprising a lot of people think that Cray Cray's death was a narrative mistake. And I always love reading your reviews. The ending failed. He is important. She walks out of the village and into a field to think, carrying one of her wishing hazelnuts with her. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. No man can serve two masters. 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. (function(d, s, id) { I don't know whether it was the difference in tone between it and CROWNED CLOWN, too many details, or what. In addition, hell kill Minister Shin and Prince Jin-pyung for what happened at the assembly. This feels like irony in my perspective, since between episode 6 to 8, she says that it does not matter if Ha Sun is late or not, he will always be there. I'll have to go back and rewatch it. I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! The soundtrack and instrumental music was lovely, and enhanced the action. They knew from the beginning that Ha Sun will have to step down. 4 Recommended by Shawarma Ha Sun argues that the people in the palace are his people too, so he cant just abandon them to save himself. She did get to meet his sister without knowing it was her. It was the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. All Rights Reserved. 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. Im kind of glad I wasnt in the mood for this one, even for Jin-goo. Some found it a plot mistake but others didn't or found it interesting . No no. I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. 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. . 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?? For me, the difference between Minister Lees decisions to end a life and Minister Shins or the queen dowagers is the intent. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. And its not ministers its just one minister, others didn't want to believe it. He manages to touch the pot of water, but he only tips it over as he dies. Thank you for the suggestion, @marcusnyc20, I will try Haechi in the future :), Congrats on your 1st Sageuk! :-) Untuk menghindari pembunuhan, seorang badut bernama Ha Sun yang juga diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo dibawa ke istana untuk menggantikan Raja Lee Hun. It reduced the second most important character to a plot device and resulted in him being poorly characterised. The first scene in this episode sets the tone. Yes it depends on the perspective. (Oh, I was forgetting Eunuch Cho. Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? The writers could have done better making recovery time shorter, say 3-6 months. And it becomes very boring to watch. EPISODE 16 RECAP js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; Let me follow your thoughts: SINOPSIS The Crowned Clown : Joseon dalam keadaan kacau karena pemberontakan dan perebutan kekuasaan di sekitar Raja Lee Hun yang diperankan oleh Yeo Jin-Goo. Starring: Yeo Jin-goo, Lee Se-young, Kim Sang-kyung Creators: Kim Hee-won, Kim Seon-deok, Shin Ha-eun Watch all you want. He says hes been planning this since the rebellion, because the throne doesnt belong to him hes only been borrowing it. 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). 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 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. 4. 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 King : I think it was sad they didn't show him more as a Crown Prince. Let me say it again. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. As for Moo-young he died with his boots on. created an account to say, I totally agree with you. The Clown : Yeo Jin Gu really acted him very well, showing the subtil evolution from a simple puppet to a real King. 7-8 of HAECHI before today, but no such luck. I liked seeing the leads, the romance was sweet to the point of unbelievable, but what the heck. He asks why Minister Lee did such a reckless thing, and Minister Lee apologizes for not keeping his promise never to leave him. 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.~) I appreciate your effort a lot. I was perfectly okay with the ending. The Clown is King? Or well he did but not the important ones. version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 Nooo, not Moo-young! window.fbAsyncInit = function() { All seems well and as Officer Jang vows to stand by Ha Suns side no matter what, assassins appear to avenge Queen Dowager resulting in both Officer Jang and Ha Sun suffering a terrible fate. That is what they wanted to tell. I personally think they could have used the King's death and still told an interesting and important story. or But hes not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. He holds his own well, but neither of them sees the archers who sneak around behind Ha Sun and fire two arrows into his back. Nobody offered a friendly gesture to Diana, choosing Charles. PS: You're not a punk. So-woon insists, saying that shes enjoyed hearing about someone she admires. Or change the two years to two weeks. 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. 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. Live together in a small hut just the two of them and So Woon's maid in obscurity for the rest of their lives? Hope his next drama also does well. Aside from Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman), season 4 follows: Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter), the Queen's younger sister. 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. It was a beautiful journey, and when the last episode ended I felt a little sad to say goodbye to them all. And youre probably going to reply to this with something along the lines of saying even THIS comment is also entirely subjective, thus ironically, proving my point. Guards run to close the palace gates and protect the queen, but Ha Sun only has eyes for the dying Minister Lee. I got my happy ending and a toe-to-head pan-up view of YJG in that awesome blue outfit (right after he killed Shin) looking like a bada** so I'm happy. They had more than a few epic interludes. The queen dowager refuses to be led away, and walks out under her own power. 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. And his relationship with So-woon was already really nuanced and had great potential for a very unique romance in which So-woon would be the only person who had power over him. In the dark of night, Minister Shin leads the rebel soldiers to the palace gates and orders them to kill the tyrant king. It is an 8/10 for me. 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. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. 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, fellow Beanies, for your thoughtful and thought-provoking comments. That is, a Clown, who is the spitting image of the King, becomes king. But sometimes powerful people, criminals would keep people who really look like them to escape death just as yi heon did. Gimme a break! Loved the show and all the actors, especially the King, not the ending, but glad I watched it. In fact, I was this close to forgoing this entire essay last night and just shitposting for this recap, like I did for Memories of Alhambra. The problem is that the rebels have almost ten times the number of soldiers as Ha Sun, so Moo-young suggests that he smuggle Ha Sun and So-woon out of the palace. Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? A few final thoughts: I dont understand where he was for 2 years, This outstanding! 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. You're a neophyte. Its time for our clown to sink or swim on his own, and one wrong move could mean his death and the death of everyone he cares about. Among the antogonistic, closed-mided high officials, there was a belief of a there being a clowned crown. 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. It's a pity at that time I wasn't on DB, it sounds a so fun experience! To me they always make for a cliched and boring ending. They weren't flawless, but they honored their own internal logic and the characters' developmental arcs. It made Ha Sun sound like the Winter General's bartender sister in HWAYUGI. 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. And that there was a happy ending, of course! @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. And it seems they were successful in it. 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. The sweeping under the rug of the regicide, adultery, and treasonous impersonation issues was problematic for me. Then they reunited in death and walked off into the sunset. Was glad when I saw Officer Jang want to accompany him, but then when those assassins attacked I was like????? Not king and the clown. Keith Bernstein/Netflix. Idk anymore. Thinking the faulty thing has zero faults and loving it under THAT impression? I initially thought they should have kept yi heon for few more episodes which i mentioned in my comments under ep 8. Again, why? I think @kiara tipped me off about it. Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that! B) He's attacked and left for dead. She showed no remorse for him being gone after that point. So it was @sicarius who broke it. I hope you get to see many many wonderful sageuks in the future!, Thank you very much, @peony!!! The doppelganger part. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. Yes me too. I briefly thought the show was trying to say that Cray Cray's Cray was entirely due to the environment he was living in. Like you, I'll pray to the Drama Gods that we be preserved from simultaneous sageuk scheduling in the future. Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. Hmm. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. The clown scoffs at everything serious in the world, he is cynical and uses humor to show people that they are too serious. }; Welcome to the world of sageuks.
