the crowned clown ending explained

N.B. Then, both Jang and the King could have remained somewhere and tended to their wounds. I'm relieved to know that you, too, find HAECHI a mental bandwidth hog. The Crowned Clown [1] ( Korean : ) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Yeo Jin-goo, Kim Sang-kyung, and Lee Se-young. ;-). Starring: Yeo Jin-goo, Lee Se-young, Kim Sang-kyung Creators: Kim Hee-won, Kim Seon-deok, Shin Ha-eun Watch all you want. 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. Ha Sun orders the ministers waiting outside to enter. He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here 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? 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. Grrr. Lord giseong is a prince as i understood. 2. Because I think writing can be objectively bad, and no matter how many times I try and prove this, back it up with philosophical and canon evidence, you, and half this comment section, are always going to think something being bad is relative and subjective; only opinion and perspective. 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. So-woon sits quietly in Ha Suns rooms while he mulls over everything thats happened. 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. It's songs were crappy, but the instrumentals hold their ground against even Dae Jang-geum and Arang and the Magistrate instrumentals. My second bean for 2019 . Ha Sun says shakily that its not a dream, but that hes walked endlessly in a dream to find her. 2023 TheReviewGeek. Distracted, Moo-young tries to get to Ha Sun, but hes stopped by a sword through the chest. 4/4 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. He takes special care packing the embroidered bag from So-woon and the compass she bought him in the marketplace. Unfortunately, the drama version ending didn't give us much closure and added more questions that needed to be answer. 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. 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. Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. Sorry for the late reply! 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. To me they always make for a cliched and boring ending. The queen dowager screams at the ministers to challenge Ha Sun, but they all stand silently in support of their king. It was quite unpredictable and almost each episode ended with a cliffhanger . What was the point? Irrelevant time frame. Like I said, it's a fairly good and fairly solid Sageuk, preserving at least the "vibe" you expect from a Sageuk. 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. Was glad when I saw Officer Jang want to accompany him, but then when those assassins attacked I was like????? My favourite scene was the goodbyes between Eunuch Jo and the Clown, I really loved their relationship. It was a treat to see Jang Gwang reprise his film role as the King's eunuch. To show how good and righteous the Clown was? Nooo, not Moo-young! One that is like a wolf trying to be a sheep and telling everyone that it is a sheep, when its actually still a wolf. The show had its flaws, as they all do. The first scene in this episode sets the tone. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. This kind of doppelganger plot makes more sense in the movie. Like you, I'll pray to the Drama Gods that we be preserved from simultaneous sageuk scheduling in the future. 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. Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. If MLDBC is consistent, I could try it. What type of clown is Pennywise? The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be. The Crown is unlikely to continue past a sixth season, the Netflix show's executive producer has confirmed. Thats is why the drama is "Crowned clown" or "the man who became king" . That's how much attention to details that was being paid to the king and his daily routine. 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. Predictable and flat waiting period for the queen. When I thought it couldnt get worse, it did. They look at each other lovingly for a long time, then Ha Sun takes So-woons hand, and they walk home together. And the drama did well as well. 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. And its not because I didnt get the ending that I wanted that makes me sad. Maybe some beanies can take a shot at that. Actually not a copy paste historically accurate like the history channel but more about historically sensitive etc. So now, @pakalanapikake, you see why this show and I were never meant to be. Loved the show and all the actors, especially the King, not the ending, but glad I watched it. I appreciate your effort a lot. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. Meanwhile Ha Sun is torn after receiving an urgent letter regarding troops on the Frontier. 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. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. 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. Required fields are marked *. ;-), "From the masterful acting, to the cinematography, to the heart-pounding soundtrack, ..", I can't agree more than this. I've tried to watch it about four times now and still I could anticipate the bad taste it would leave in my mouth. To me this drama was about Haksan and his quest to get the Dadong tax law passed. We can write what we want but everyone involved in it worked really hard to bring this to life. That seemed so unnatural. Haksan had to die for his sins. Connect with Facebook 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?? Like you, I'm only live-watching one drama at present, having dropped both TRAP and ITEM. js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; But still could not convince other ministers because if they were proved wrong they will loose their necks. 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. I'm gonna stick to my version, the ending of this series was right after he installed the Tax Law. Cingu, I promise to read your essay but right now I gotta get away from the Cray Cray for a few hours and take a nap or something. 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 ending failed. Like everyone else I feel the end was rushed and not thought out. 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. 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. First she lost the king, now she lost the clown. It was one of my most fun and blissful experiences here at DB. Everything you have written about this show is exactly what I felt towards the ending. (Lol. Nothing like watching our protagonist send off his master in the most glorious way to jerk some priceless tears. The Crowned Clown (Episode 16, Finale) Drama: The Crowned Clown (English title) / Man Who Become King (Literal) Orignal name: / Wangyi Doen Namja Director: Kim Hee-Won Writer: Kim Sun-Deok, Shin Ha-Eun Network: tvN Episodes: 16 Release Date: January 7 -- March 4, 2019 version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 (Cases in point: TEMPERATURE OF LOVE and BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS OUR FIRST. // Load the SDK asynchronously sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna. Hurting herself means kind of killing herself and finding him in afterlife i guess but i don't think thats how it happened. 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. And it seems they were successful in it. . Aside from Queen Elizabeth II (Olivia Colman), season 4 follows: Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter), the Queen's younger sister. Because they went about writing it completely the wrong way, and the premise was flawed from the very beginning due to how they decided to tell it. It was a suitably heroic end for a loyal bodyguard. 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. 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. Theyre both sobbing, grateful to be together again. It really speaks out my mind almost perfectly why I did not really enjoy watching this drama, especially after Yi Heon's death. 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. Let me say it again. Here, I'm justwhat is even there to say? 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. Ta-da! No kiss for the finale? Thats my point. The clown is a symbol of the mind. LOL! Thanks for sticking through this for me! 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.~) Moo-young declares that hes going with Ha Sun, and none too soon because only seconds later, he whips out his sword and goes after the assassins that have been following Ha Sun. That was unfair!! It wasnt explicitly said, but I believe that once he had gotten revenge on Minister Shin and the queen dowager, he realized that hed been using the throne for his own personal reasons and thats why he abdicated to someone who could truly put the country first. It showed the King, as a character. I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. 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). Woon-shim finally packs up the things that Minister Lee left at the gibang, and she cries for him one last time. Not as many ribbons and bows that way, but also no time skip that leaves more unanswered questions. Find Dal Rae? B) He's attacked and left for dead. At a couple of points in the past two years, I was simultaneously live-watching 9-10 dramas along with older shows and films. Loved loved loved this drama till the ending Not because i didn't like it but because i thought it would cause to loose some viewers as yi heon really had gained some fans despite being kind of a villan (thanks to jin goos excellent acting on a villainous role. 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. (link to my Episode 8 write up because it wasnt letting me do it as a word hyperlink: http://www.dramabeans.com/members/sicarius/activity/709687/ ). The entire thing? 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. Moo Young should have survived. 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.
