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. How did he suddenly appear by chance in that deserted field? And he shouldve been. Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. Which is a rarity these days in Kdrama land. Lee Bang-won in Six Flying Dragons who murdered his mentor and is thus one of my favorite characters of all time). I'm glad to be live-watching along with everyone now. 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? To me they always make for a cliched and boring ending. Where was Ha Sun the whole time in those two years???? 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. 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. So now, @pakalanapikake, you see why this show and I were never meant to be. Decent show, awesome costumes and props. 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. If MLDBC is consistent, I could try it. What was the point? And had so much fun. She decides to let Ha Sun pay tribute to Minister Lee, so he allows Minister Shin and Prince Jin-pyung to leave the palace. ;-). Early on there were comments about the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode of TCC. This is a critique of the show alone. I'll definitely read it. He deserves it . Connect with Facebook He only existed to play the King and become the King, at the expense of the King. Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that! Got bored reading the comments with such fervor to bring the drama down. It'd leave a fairly good impression and understanding about the Sageuk world in your mind. I personally like the movie better. Why was killing off all the bad guys done so poorly and quickly? And its not because I didnt get the ending that I wanted that makes me sad. Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! I read the rest afterwards but i still have to say the same. If it was any other drama it would gain only a few comments which would decrease over time, but MLSHR had 2000 comments within few hours even during the last episodes!! The problem is, is that the show did not actually want to tell the story of the King AND the Clown. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); When I was watching HWAJUNG, I had to put it on the back burner a bit more than half-way through, and didn't get back to it for three weeks. Anyway, this was my first sageuk and I'm really glad I watched it. But I dont know the Clown. But that's not what Sicarius' point is. The Clown manages to fluke his way out of the accusations (without anyone on his side dying), and then the Villains lead a rebellion that is entirely unsuccessful and was executed without intelligence so that the Good Guys (lol) can win very easily and eliminate all threats, in the space of about 20 minutes, as if the last fifteen episodes of well, drama, mean absolutely nothing. In January of the Year of the Black Pig, the king suppressed the rebel forces and ruled the nation wisely. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. And even I would be interested, and was interested, in seeing what this story looks like. Gapsu raised the two kids but how did that happen? So many relationships were built up during the tumultuous happenings just to do this :/. Then not explain the gap of two years Or change the writer. The Crowned Clown gave us characters to hate and root for. Ser que foi o rei que ele indicou? PS: You're not a punk. 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. So what!? Stretching it A LOT, but okay. In general I feel that The Crowned Clown was successful in effectively telling its shocking story, and that it did so in a gorgeous, impactful way. Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time. What was the point? He takes the throne and the queen dowager looks frightened, but shes relieved when Lord Younghwa, her choice for king, also enters the room. No no. And I always love reading your reviews. Por que eu achei que todos os inimigos estavam mortos. The plot cant take any additional eps. Minister Shin says hes already rewarded them to offset the drop in morale, and he asks if she still thinks they need a valid cause for rebellion. I'm probably in the minority for this opinion, but I thought it was a bold move for the show to have Lee Kyu kill the king in secret and become the "king" from the shadows. 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. But none of that had any real stakes. :). 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. This is not his fault; he is not a real person. }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); In a desperate attempt to protect their young king from assassination, a decoy is put on the throne.

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 would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. Also the king wasn't allowed to read his own records in case he'd changed it. Gone. 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; 9 is following him into the sageuk? It showed his relationships. 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. 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. Nooo, not Moo-young! He lived such a hard, unfeeling and regimented life and then to have him finally decide to do something for himself by leaving with Hasunonly to make him die with his 'wish' to die with the King?? Thats right, these bad people need to be punished severely! I am glad you enjoyed TCC. I said this in episode 8, and I will say it again. Sorry if I might be nitpicking, but along with Jang's death, I even felt betrayed by So Woon's initial reaction to Ha Sun. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. I totally appreciated your comments. 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. tvN's hit drama " The Crowned Clown " has ended with a bang! .

I only read the first two parts at least thats what was there when i started reading it. B) He's attacked and left for dead. Dal-Rae and the entertainers continue to please the masses while the new King successfully implements the Dae Dong Policy across the region. Ha Sun doesnt want to disrespect his loyal friend that way, and Minister Lee says it makes him feel joyful to hear Ha Sun call him that. He takes special care packing the embroidered bag from So-woon and the compass she bought him in the marketplace. 1/4 At first, for a while, I thought that when he finally learned the truth about Yi Heon dying, he would be the one to kill Haksan. They had more than a few epic interludes. I especially liked that the twists were simple and not that many. Not as many ribbons and bows that way, but also no time skip that leaves more unanswered questions. At times he made me forget that it was fiction. My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. 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. 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 . 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. 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. I was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. Gotta say though, I did enjoy the political aspect of this series even if it was neglected in the last couple of episodes. And that there was a happy ending, of course! 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. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? I appreciate your effort a lot. I dont understand where he was for 2 years, This outstanding! Ha Sun stands stock-still as Minister Shin raises his sword to strike then the gates open for Minister Shin to see that his soldiers have all been killed or captured. No kiss for the finale? Because there were no consequences for the King as a pre-existing character. 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 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. You're most welcome, Chingu! Like you, I'll pray to the Drama Gods that we be preserved from simultaneous sageuk scheduling in the future. At the start of the story, we could see that he gave up, he was just in damage control task. Emotional manipulation in the best possible way and it rounds out a highly enjoyable Korean drama. By making Cray Cray entirely an insane drug addict, they set the bar for the Clown's superiority so damn low - because who can't top "insane drug addict" as an alternative ruler. 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. I neglected to state that Jin-goo's performances were great, and that Kim Sang-kyung is a new favorite. Thank you, fellow Beanies, for your thoughtful and thought-provoking comments. If they had planned to make Ha-Sun abdicate the at the very least I wish they could've introduced his successor before so it didn't feel like he came outta nowhere.
