That was during my first DB live-watch, OH HAE-YOUNG AGAIN, which got into some trippy metaphysics. Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! Is he now AWOL? He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. I personally think they could have used the King's death and still told an interesting and important story. That means, that everybody else in the entire canon palace world of this show, thinks, the Clown, is a KING they already know. From shock and tension through to sadness and bittersweet goodbyes, this 75 minute episode encapsulated everything I've loved about this show since I begun covering it 2 months ago. And yes, "The Crowned Clown" has a happy ending. Unfortunately, the drama version ending didn't give us much closure and added more questions that needed to be answer. (Lol.

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. They didn't really expose that at the beginning. Set in the heart of Korea and split across sixteen 75 minute episodes, The Crowned Clown is a dramatic, politically charged series awash with tension, twists and turns. Thanks for noting that Yoon Park portrayed Ha Sun's successor, Lord Giseong. What a load of crap! It's Moon lovers; Scarlet heart, Ryeo. Also I don't see why kill Moo Young in the last moment right when he had finally accepted Ha-Sun as his Master, it felt out of the blue. He is important.

She enters the palace at the pre-arranged time and finds Ha Sun alone in the throne room. Shes decided to leave the gibang, and she tells Ho-geol that she intends to travel and just enjoy life for a while. But Yeo Jin Gu is awesome throughout the drama, i love him. It made Ha Sun sound like the Winter General's bartender sister in HWAYUGI. But none of that had any real stakes. In the courtyard, she never loses her hostile pride as she drinks the poison and succumbs to its effects. They had more than a few epic interludes. 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; It makes me soooo maaadddd!!! MLDBC too was a fairly nice, pleasant and most importantly, CONSISTENT drama. We got to see one measly flashback of Yi Heon and the Queen early in their marriage before he started going off the deep end. I cannot watch two sageuks at the same time without getting the details bollixed up, even if they're set in different time periods. Nobody found out the King died because the Clown is the King. Of course, they arent worth the time I suppose. The problem is, is that the show did not actually want to tell the story of the King AND the Clown.

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. I just discovered in Merriam-Webster that the oft used kdrama translated word punk is a synonym for beginner!) It was a peculiar incident. I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. 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. I'm getting into water-over-the-dam territory. 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. Legacy? xfbml : true, // parse social plugins on this page But Minister Shin and the queen dowager convinced themselves that their crimes were righteous and that they were morally innocent, when in reality they only wanted power and revenge. It was the most interesting part, the relationships he had with Eunuch Jo, the Queen, Minister Lee, Moo Young, Ho Geol. But, no. 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. Hed answered that it was to serve Ha Sun loyally and die in the line of duty, and Moo-young gets his wish. Rather than be daring, some parts felt more sensational than meaningful. Suspension of Disbelief. Por que eu achei que todos os inimigos estavam mortos. It was one of my most fun and blissful experiences here at DB. Speaking of Haksan- Haksan killed the king. They just look at each other for a long time, then So-woon says that she has this dream all the time, but when she approaches, he usually disappears. But im note sure what was recorded of the kings in those days, like to what extent (like records on poop lol that was hilarious ). 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.

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. (Source: Netflix) Better late than never is the best I can do these days. Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. I swear you won't regret it. It showed his past. 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. And it was filled with MLSHR comments!) 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. 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. (Translation: It takes more energy and attention than I can muster at the time.) But I dont know the Clown. She gave up and it seems they met in Heaven? Hes trapped, and he turns to see Ha Sun facing him, the two of them alone. All that means nothing if youre going against the almighty Team Good!

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. And it becomes very boring to watch. She did get to meet his sister without knowing it was her. The recaps were enough. That is the amount of respect or rather fear a king was able to inflict upon others in those days. 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. One of these days I intend to watch SHIN DON, which may overlap with JEONG DO JEON. 3/4 The prince appear for less than a whole minute, says a couple of pretty obvious statements and I'm supposed to believe he's meant to rule? I'll have to go back and rewatch it. My take on the ending was that he was nursed back to health though we dont know how and who took care of him. So what if youre a prince. Why did he leave the palace without guards? The acting was superb, the scenery was beautiful and the story was different from its source material.
