the crowned clown ending explained
// Load the SDK asynchronously It didn't turn out to be a bad drama, but it's not like I missed something important! 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. The only reason I watched the drama version was because of the movie. The writers could have done better making recovery time shorter, say 3-6 months. In order to escape those who plan to assassinate him, the King puts a clown, who looks exactly like him, on the throne. So, I'm genuinely happy you got CROWNED CLOWN as your 1st Sageuk. He asks why Minister Lee did such a reckless thing, and Minister Lee apologizes for not keeping his promise never to leave him. What can I say. var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; I am glad you enjoyed TCC. Thats not all though as we soon find out. But thank goodness after 2 long and nobody changing years, the Clown has miraculously woken from coma. I felt so angry that the ending felt like some type of trap for me. In the morning So-woon decides to go for a walk, and as she strolls, she recalls the intimate moments she spent with Ha Sun and the promises he made to always be with her. The show had its flaws, as they all do. It was a treat to see Jang Gwang reprise his film role as the King's eunuch. Minister Lees body is taken into the palace, where Ho-geol sobs over him. Another girl suggested The king loves. I think @kiara tipped me off about it. appId : '127538621120543', This is a critique of the show alone. Thank you, fellow Beanies, for your thoughtful and thought-provoking comments. Better late than never is the best I can do these days. They suggest he bring in a new concubine to give him a son, and even So-woon thinks he should do it. I've seen a lot of fictional sageuks but they all stuck with their time period. Moo Young should have survived. Shin- Shin and the Queen Dowager eventually find out, or well, guess that the Clown is not the real King. I read the first two parts and loved it and wrote my comment even before I read the recap, because I've been dying to since I skipped my way through the finale (what does it even say about a show finale that I skipped everything but the last bit and still got it right), and then I came back just now and read the other two parts and also loved those. The first scene in this episode sets the tone. Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. Enjoy it all you want. In the courtyard, she never loses her hostile pride as she drinks the poison and succumbs to its effects. I really liked this drama. I felt that if Yi Heon got off his drugs a bit, he was very much capable of doing just that; protecting his place on the throne. Lord Giseong agrees, saying that a kings job is to approve court discussions and take responsibility for the consequences, not wield power as he pleases, and Ha Sun regards him thoughtfully. The Crowned Clown Season 1 2019 16+ A low-class commoner clown, sits in the throne of the King who is in peril of losing his country. But i don't think thats what happened. Minister Lee didn't see himself as a hero but more like a tool for his country not good or bad but useful. Minister Shin manages to growl, You lowly clown before Ha Sun yanks back his sword and slashes his throat. He reaches up a hand for Ha Sun to grasp, then he dies, leaving Ha Sun wracked with grief. For sure an emotional roller coaster ride. They knew from the beginning that Ha Sun will have to step down. No no. In JDJ we are now with the last King of Goryeo, Gongyang. window.fbAsyncInit = function() { I really loved this show, but they botched it in the end. Because a writer can write a 'bad' end, but if properly done no one can challenge it or be confused. I expected a pair of little ones running in the yard! It would have been nice to have more info on who retrieved his body and nursed him back to health and where. Prince Jin-pyung lies alone, bleeding and gasping for water. 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! Thanks for sticking through this for me! She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. I can't handle 2 or more at a time and it makes me sad when they compete for the ratings. Yeah, I was all set to accept this final episode as whatever, its over and forget about it. Yes @kiara. (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. According to Nielsen Korea, the highly-anticipated March 4 finale of the historical drama achieved the drama's highest viewership. His death scene was really great. And OOC*. Was she too pure to have sex? The palace is thrown into turmoil and at the center of this chaos is our clown King, Ha Sun. People who watch sageuks want historically acurrate stories, right? 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. js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; Both of them walked right into Ha Sun's traps. It aired simultaneously with PBG's Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (MLDBC). PS: You're not a punk. ;-). Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. 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! This was my first YJG drama and it is hard to believe he is only 21 years old. The king was instantly killed. Guards run to close the palace gates and protect the queen, but Ha Sun only has eyes for the dying Minister Lee. Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. I also hated that the poor mom who had his son killed by the previous king had no retribution at all. It was a beautiful journey, and when the last episode ended I felt a little sad to say goodbye to them all. He manages to throw his sword and take out the assassin about to finish off Ha Sun, then slips around Ha Sun to take the sword meant for him. The problem is, is that the show did not actually want to tell the story of the King AND the Clown. Connect with Facebook Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. 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. I'm glad I tuned in. But Ha Sun tells her not to worry about it, because he plans to abdicate and has already chosen his successor Lord Giseong. I wanted to see some little clowns running around. Hurting herself means kind of killing herself and finding him in afterlife i guess but i don't think thats how it happened. Shiver!! In fact it reached 2 digit ratings even afterwards. Finally its time for Ha Sun to go. My second bean for 2019 . Anyway, overall best Korean drama ever! Ha Sun travels with Lord Giseong and sees people hard at work in a field. What is the limit between good and bad? That scenario would have created a lot of edge, suspense and sadness without killing a character for clout. So it was @sicarius who broke it. Sicarius' point is that the doppelgnger plot became irrelevant once they killed off one of the doppelgngers and so the central source of conflict - the fact that the Clown was an imposter- was removed. In comparison, I was passionately and unequivocally committed to REBEL for the entire run of that show. I will remember his Eunuch Jo for a long time. It was not possible for me to juggle three sageuks. 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. 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 was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. 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. You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. Suspension of Disbelief. Connect with Facebook What a complete waste of time. The part that pleased me was when he went to the first tournament and how cleverly he won during archery, or with the dog having that tiger cloth near his hand to confuse the dogs. As soon as its done, a weight seems to lift from his shoulders. I too loved MLSHR, BUT I enjoyed it WHILE knowing and recognising its flaws. Your email address will not be published. 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. ;-). The reason why this never happened in Joseon is because of the way they keep tap on the king's every movement. knew it would happen before the end of this drama: line 7, strike TTC and insert TCC. Jung Il-woo is giving a fine performance as Prince Lee Geum. Eunuch Jo gives Ha Sun a drawing that he made of him, remembering how Ha Sun once drew him a picture to cheer him up. Tags: Lee Se-young, The Crowned Clown, Yeo Jin-gu, Your email address will not be published. My mind has a mind of its own, and it's like herding cats. I expected that Haksan would perish, and am not surprised he took Prince Jin-pyung with him. But hes not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. I appreciate your effort a lot. (Lol. Nothing like watching our protagonist send off his master in the most glorious way to jerk some priceless tears. That is, a Clown, who is the spitting image of the King, becomes king. Why not start writing? At the start of the story, we could see that he gave up, he was just in damage control task. Even jin pyong and dowager queen found it out in the last minute and the whole thing happened within 3, 4 months. I seriously think they changed writers in the second half. Welcome to the world of sageuks. I was also wishing and hoping to get more of Yi Heon's pre-addiction backstory. To me this drama was about Haksan and his quest to get the Dadong tax law passed. It was about the time due to the constant conflict among the delegates of his courts. Lord Mountbatten (Charles Dance), a British Royal Navy . Dal-lae should have reunited with Ha Sun. The King? Got bored reading the comments with such fervor to bring the drama down. Distracted, Moo-young tries to get to Ha Sun, but hes stopped by a sword through the chest. In addition, hell kill Minister Shin and Prince Jin-pyung for what happened at the assembly. It's fine if they want to tell the story of a Crowned Clown- what's not fine is HOW they chose to go about doing it in this particular scenario. What type of clown is Pennywise? What was the point? In the dark of night, Minister Shin leads the rebel soldiers to the palace gates and orders them to kill the tyrant king. The same night during a family game, one of the daughters finds the entrance to an eerie cellar - which Roger inspects immediately but finds nothing. 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. But he's not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. The king's every move and poop was recorded so it would be very difficult to make a switch but Ha Sun was only subbing for the king for 15 days. But to create a 'bad' end then rush a 'good' one without solid backing feels weird. That too, out of desperation I would have taken as some sort of poetic justice, because Yi Heon died so Ha Seon could be king, and Ha Seon died because of Yi Heon's crimes against the Queen Dowager. This does not mean you cannot enjoy it. 4. Add it to the list of things that are harder to believe than time travel and zombies Yoo In-Na's cuteness in Touch Your Heart. And it becomes very boring to watch. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. Ha Sun has become immune to this mans slippery techniques of deception. But Ha Sun stabs him in the belly, declaring that the price for killing Minister Lee is his death. Ha Sun orders the ministers waiting outside to enter. 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. (Translation: It takes more energy and attention than I can muster at the time.) It was like he was never her childhood friend or first love, it was like her past husband never existed once the Clown declared his love for her. I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. I give the story, props and acting 9/10 and Haksun (Chief Secretary) could get an 11/10 for his acting alone. Emotional manipulation in the best possible way and it rounds out a highly enjoyable Korean drama. There was a king and one of the his guards at the door looked very much like him, an uncanny resemblance. No man can serve two masters. I thought I would have gotten caught up by now, but have held off until CROWNED CLOWN cleared the decks. 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. Jong-rim and Jae-gu, who got to take the civil service exam because of Minister Lee, offer to help Ho-geol get revenge, but Ho-geol says theyll only lose their lives. Thank you @lollypip for the recap! I was perfectly okay with the ending. 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. I was happy as a clam that Eunuch Jo and Ho-geol survived the rebellion. 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. Two years pass by and we see So Woon a broken shell of the woman she once was. episodes (13-16) I think it has found its groove (for me at least.) So what if youre a prince. She gives Dal-lae her two jade rings as a donation, but Dal-lae says theyre too precious. ;-). Minister Lee was doing it to create a better world, and he never denied that what he was doing was wrong he accepted that he would be punished, but he was willing to sacrifice himself for his country. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. For the drama in general. With a satisfying conclusion and impressive cinematography throughout, this Korean drama makes for quite the impressive showing. 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. From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, the drama always felt confident and assured, and I loved the beautiful way it told Ha Suns story. Like you, I'm only live-watching one drama at present, having dropped both TRAP and ITEM. 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. You're most welcome, Chingu! The queen dowager grows nervous when things are quiet for too long, but then a soldier runs in to tell her excitedly that they stormed the palace and captured the impostor king. I dropped this drama once Yi Heon died, but have been keeping up with recaps only to be disappointed with what the writers have been doing every episode. I love the show, but they have to redo the ending!!! HAECHI is my only live watch right now. They tell the story of a king who was as handsome as he was wise, and whose greatest talent was looking out for his people. 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. That is the amount of respect or rather fear a king was able to inflict upon others in those days. Idk anymore. In the history of my country we had a doppelganger fake king ruling for 6 years. all had loyal supporters! Who wouldn't, if they were up against Hae Mo-su and his badass grandson?! He deserves it . This probably means I have to watch "Vincenzo" to find out what Kim Hee-won's visual style is.) After all if the really great episodes the ending was puzzling. Ever since she promised to protect the clown, everyone keep serving her chopped onions. He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. And that there was a happy ending, of course! He says that if she refuses, hell hang Minister Lees body at the gates for the people to see, and then theyll know that she caused this rebellion without justification. He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here now. 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 ). Hed answered that it was to serve Ha Sun loyally and die in the line of duty, and Moo-young gets his wish. 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. DEFINITELY MLDBC!! 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. Predictable and flat waiting period for the queen. 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. I was caught up in some work! 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. 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. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. @sicarius 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 . And . FB.init({ All this leads me to wonder now if the ending is much darker than it seems on the surface? Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King. It was mentioned by Ae-young to the queen that she heard that king's poop smells different and we all know why because he was not Yi Heon lol. He looked excellent. He only existed to play the King and become the King, at the expense of the King. 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.
