She cracks it and makes a wish, but when she opens her eyes, shes still alone. The Perron family is greeted by evil just as they arrive at the farmhouse. Which is why it is still very (in)famous, known as the "MLSHR Phenomenon". For sure an emotional roller coaster ride. 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. But none of that had any real stakes. 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. While writing this analysis, I found out that "The Crowned Clown" was directed by Kim Hee-won, one of the very few female directors in the K-drama industry; she also directed the recent hit "Vincenzo."

Haksan had to die for his sins. Was she too pure to have sex? The clown scoffs at everything serious in the world, he is cynical and uses humor to show people that they are too serious. It was a character with a vision for his country. 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. The goodbye scene to Eunuch Jo sniff so beautiful so sad. But I guess they all live together happily ever after. Still beautiful though. Thank you. I wanted to see some little clowns running around. I've watched enough sageuks to understand the ethos even if I don't always personally agree with it, and am disturbed when social conventions and obligations of earlier historical periods are flouted, or treated as if they don't exist. He gasps for Ha Sun to hang his body above the castle gates after he dies, to show that the criminal was brought to justice.

How did he recover from 3 arrows??? I also accepted, that the king had to be eliminated for the greater good. I thought I would have gotten caught up by now, but have held off until CROWNED CLOWN cleared the decks. The Crown season 5 ending explained. 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. I was perfectly okay with the ending. Lucky you, for having a fairly good Sageuk as your 1st one. Poop smell can change for illnesses as well haha. The final scene in the grassland was beautiful. My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. Then they reunited in death and walked off into the sunset. He pauses in the courtyard for just a moment, then steps off the brick path and walks away, a relaxed smile on his face for the first time in years. Sheesh. This kind of doppelganger plot makes more sense in the movie. I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. You dont get a medic so learn your own first-aid. It would have been nice to have more info on who retrieved his body and nursed him back to health and where. Fictional or not, no sageuk has ever dare to change the royal line of Joseon. 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! Yes me too. I agree with you that I would have liked to seen Yi Heon's back story pre crazy King and addiction. Also, what a complete waste of what I could have accepted as an okay last 10-15 minutes, or even, heck, half an hour if they'd just used their common sense while writing the damn thing.

Could it be that Lee Kyoung-young's recent turn as the Big Bad in supernatural thriller ROOM NO. Jung Il-woo is giving a fine performance as Prince Lee Geum. The soundtrack and instrumental music was lovely, and enhanced the action. To all the above comments: I especially enjoyed his sound effects of Yi Heon on a bender. The plot cant take any additional eps. But he did not return right away because he wanted to make it appear to the people that the real King was in fact assasinated and waited two years before he surfaced as Ha-seon, a clown surfaced that closely resembles the dead king. However, the clown is a dual symbol. 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. Gap-soo and Dal-lae have rejoined their clown troupe. At the very least, he would have to be conflicted about it, because he was only obeying Haksans orders because they came from the king or were in the kings best interests. But then theres no indication he ever did learn the truth, and he kept serving Ha Seon as king, and the show then tried to pass off him dying to save Ha Seon (after Ha Seon has already abdicated the throne) as being the same thing as dying in the line of duty as a royal guard. And thats really poor writing. His dignified presence was a centering, moderating influence for both monarchs, and elevated every scene in which he appeared.

But its not a secret to the close people to them. I think that was an unfortunate oversight. Why would I want to watch something when there are no stakes for a plot that should have all the stakes? Hopefully you will and i would watch it definitely. I especially liked that the twists were simple and not that many. The Clown cannot be King if there is no pre-existing King for him to pretend to be.

Other than that, I loved this drama and I'm sorry it over. He manages to touch the pot of water, but he only tips it over as he dies. Unanswered questions. Emotional manipulation in the best possible way and it rounds out a highly enjoyable Korean drama. What happens upon the family's arrival? I enjoyed this more than most of the sageuks I've seen. Irrelevant time frame. For me, the difference between Minister Lees decisions to end a life and Minister Shins or the queen dowagers is the intent. ). So-woon had refused to accept it until theyd given her the compass, which theyd found next to Moo-youngs body. The two could have wandered the country checking that new reforms were taking place. I just wish I could have commented more on CROWNED CLOWN, but the mental fatigue was real. 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.

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. Why was killing off all the bad guys done so poorly and quickly? But this show decided to ignore one crucial part of this premise. KINGDOM, alas, also got short shrift from me because it was too much to juggle with CROWNED CLOWN. The Crown Season 5 ending explained The episode begins with the Royal Family agreeing to the decommissioning of the royal yacht, Brittania. Too forced. 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. It was definitely well-written making it easy to read. How could you just walk out unarmed in broad daylight?? And even I would be interested, and was interested, in seeing what this story looks like. I dont understand where he was for 2 years, This outstanding! It was a suitably heroic end for a loyal bodyguard. After wrapping up the loose ends with both Queen Dowager and Sin Chi Soo, we skip forward a year (or so I presume due to the first dialogue exchange). Of course, they arent worth the time I suppose.

He essentially died so that no one could ever actually prove the Clown as fake. Woon-shim is allowed to say goodbye, and she sobs that she thought they would finally be together. Hurting herself means kind of killing herself and finding him in afterlife i guess but i don't think thats how it happened. Because I can't do history as well as kiara nor Sageuk reviewing like HeadsNo2, I'll comment upon my forte. 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?? Nobody knows why. The upcoming CHRONICLES OF ASDAL, set during Gojoseon days.) But he's not finished surprising us yet, as he contemplates a decision that could change the future of the entire nation. I was devastated with the ending, but thoroughly enjoyed the whole series. I was glad that Ho-sun and the Queen finally got together but the ending sounded more eternal due to the mist and not quite earthy. I hate sounding petty, but, uh, what? 2. As for Moo-young he died with his boots on. But i am happy to see in other forums and under youtube comments majority liked it. I am waiting for several upcoming dramas. Both were major distress-inducers.) 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. She did get to meet his sister without knowing it was her. Then the death of Officer Jang and the unnecessary pain the Queen had to go through while grieving for Hasun.

He reaches up a hand for Ha Sun to grasp, then he dies, leaving Ha Sun wracked with grief. Yes, I did get a little teary at the final goodbye; 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.
