4/4 The Crown season 5 ending explained. The way the camera panned out at the end with them walking off into nowhere and how there were no questions asked and she just said that she had seen him in her dreams etc, could mean that it was their souls reuniting and not their physical selves. Like you I would have liked to know more of the Lord Gil Sam Bong affair. In re-reading the ep. . In sageuks, the best character will always be the one with a twisted past, the one that isn't entirely black or white but has extremely strong values in something, and will do anything to protect those values (i.e. Unfortunately, the drama version ending didn't give us much closure and added more questions that needed to be answer. ;-). Minister Lee : he was really a great character. He reaches up a hand for Ha Sun to grasp, then he dies, leaving Ha Sun wracked with grief. Ultimately, the show may have raised interesting questions, intentionally or not, but it gives a simplistic answer that's wholly unsatisfying in this regard. Like I said, it's a fairly good and fairly solid Sageuk, preserving at least the "vibe" you expect from a Sageuk. Another example would be the queen: after her suicide cliff attempt, she acted like shed been married to Ha Seon all along instead of Yi Heon. Inconsistencies are there but being able to create a good show that MOST people clearly enjoyed was thanks to the people behind it. 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. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if youre just going to do that to him. 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. The King comes back later, as a cameo and as an excuse for conflict but we will kill him off because he's really not important to the Clown's story now; he's in the way. Nobody knows why. I am relatively new to historical dramas but I am enjoying them. And its not because I didnt get the ending that I wanted that makes me sad. 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. Thinking the faulty thing has zero faults and loving it under THAT impression? It would have been fun to watch someone as stoic as him being all awkward around someone as bubbly and mischievous as she is. In the drama the writers won't be able to keep the clown on the throne in the end or they'll have to deal with some angry Korean viewers. He says that even if he stepped down and one of them took the throne, the country would be okay. I'm not even thinking that this drama is even close to reality lol. They suggest he bring in a new concubine to give him a son, and even So-woon thinks he should do it. 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. I also do not agree with the author of the recap -- that protecting the power of the king is protecting the people. Minister Shin manages to growl, You lowly clown before Ha Sun yanks back his sword and slashes his throat. Why did he leave the palace without guards? I was surprise when Ha Sun decide to abdicated but again it just makes the ending more beautiful. 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. It wasn't surprising. Suspension of Disbelief. 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. I don't hate it, just think that the ending could have been better executed. @kurama, But then I wonder: "Why two years? Me, too. We see a couple discussing what went wrong in . Because a writer can write a 'bad' end, but if properly done no one can challenge it or be confused. The good points : the instrumental music (the OST was so beautiful and went well with the scenes), the humor ( I kind missed it at the end), the scenery (it was beautiful), not too much characters (I tend to be lost when there are too much Ministers in the same clothes). knew it would happen before the end of this drama: line 7, strike TTC and insert TCC. Thats my point. Firstly, shouldnt the King have been escorted out to safety in the event that people who were waiting to attack him would have? And I absolutely loved the ending, with Ha Sun abdicating the throne, because Ive never felt okay with the idea of his keeping it when it really never belonged to him. 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. 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. D Gray Man The 14th and Crown Clown Explained [CONFUSION CLEARED] 40,791 views Oct 18, 2019 1.1K Dislike Share Save Rash Plays 24.8K subscribers D Gray Man is amazing and I can't stress that. I dont understand why the Queen couldnt have children?!?! Can you guys recommend me another good political show? He apologizes for not running to her faster, but she just throws her arms around his neck, happy that hes here now. She presses a finger to the stress lines between his eyes, looking worried for him. 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. In Episode 8 of "The Crown", we followed the controversial Martin Bashir interview with Diana and how that shook the monarchy. Minister Lee. As an audience, it was too easy to see these things in modern-day context instead of the context of the time period, where often, getting rid of someone, though a heinous choice, was often the only choice to protect the power of the throne (and thus the people). She turns and theres Ha Sun, alive. And I always love reading your reviews. I truly enjoyed the drama's cinematography, particularly the outdoor settings. You're making good progress with JEONG DO JEON. Some peasants could have been shown taking them in. Thank you for recapping CROWNED CLOWN, @lollypip, especially as it is not the only drama on your plate. The drama version had put their own spin on it. Another girl suggested The king loves. What a complete waste of time. Just when I thought this drama couldnt get any worse they introduced the seperation trope! I stopped watching at episode 10 since I had time-constraints and felt that the pace was a little slow or maybe just that I lacked time. 9 is following him into the sageuk? Instead of the time jump etc. 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. A great fit. And it's this point that made the drama very interesting. She had nothing to lose and maybe something to gain by ratting him out. :) 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. At night, So-woon holds Ha Suns compass, remembering two years ago when a pair of palace guards delivered the news that they believed Ha Sun was dead. Nevertheless, it takes me a while to get my thoughts in order, so I don't comment in a timely fashion. 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 said it all up there- do I really need to say it again? 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. That's how much attention to details that was being paid to the king and his daily routine. A concern for royal doctors. Now we agreed about Lookout too, so that doesnt surprise me. The internal and external forces driving a wedge between the monarchy and its people seemed overwhelming, and someone with a weak resolve . 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 Clown is King? And the drama did well as well. Because it seeemed that he was a good Crown Prince until his dad died and made this stupid discour before. He believes that nobody should sit on the throne who wants to use it for personal gain, and that he wants to step down because he wants to go back to being one of the people. It's like you've scooped every single thought I had about this waste of potential right out of my brain and put it in better words. 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. 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. The Crown Season 5: Ending Explained | Full Spoiler Review & The Real Life True Story That Could Inspire Season 6. It was about the time due to the constant conflict among the delegates of his courts. 5. Gotta watch the final episode again.??? Did you read my essay? Please enter your username or email address. Did he not know that one was a royal twin (considered bad luck?) But sometimes powerful people, criminals would keep people who really look like them to escape death just as yi heon did. Dal-lae should have reunited with Ha Sun. He manages to touch the pot of water, but he only tips it over as he dies. Please enlighten us. 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. If you want to tell a story about a Clown being King, do NOT make that ENTIRE premise hinge on a single character and then treat him as a plot device! Bonus points if it's a sageuk. That was during my first DB live-watch, OH HAE-YOUNG AGAIN, which got into some trippy metaphysics. But its not a secret to the close people to them. Sigh. She gives Dal-lae her two jade rings as a donation, but Dal-lae says theyre too precious. Because whoever Yi Heon was, according to the makers of this show, no longer matters. Not bashing the show, these are just my thoughts. What happens upon the family's arrival? I have a few minutes here and there but this show needs my full attention lol. Gapsu raised the two kids but how did that happen? Yep, the mother of the baby that was killed so cruelly agreed to let the honorable Haksan die with utmost integrity. She meets with Minister Shin, upset about how things went this morning, because when Prince Jin-pyung dies his soldiers will be demotivated. It's not surprising a lot of people think that Cray Cray's death was a narrative mistake. The survival of the great majority allows everything? Yup, I concur with all your points, @marcusnyc20 bong-soo. Jang Gwang. In order to escape those who plan to assassinate him, the King puts a clown, who looks exactly like him, on the throne. :-) Of course, they arent worth the time I suppose. Among the antogonistic, closed-mided high officials, there was a belief of a there being a clowned crown. I was caught up in some work! Once he did what he wanted to do, and then some, it was wise of him to make the decision to pass it along to someone else who would use the weight of the throne for the good of the nation. I didn't even recognize him from his turn as wild and crazy PD Lee Gang in RADIO ROMANCE. It felt like I was really grinding my gears when I started watching HAECHI. Decent show, awesome costumes and props. Why did you bother to watch it if you thought it was so bad? They want to show his loyalty via his death ? What does a clown symbolize? 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; I will remember his Eunuch Jo for a long time. 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. See you over at HAECHI, which I am enjoying so far. I've seen a lot of fictional sageuks but they all stuck with their time period. Stars Yeo Jin-gu Se-yeong Lee Kim Sang-kyung See production, box office & company info Watch on Prime Video I recently read a forward (by Don Baker) to the Korean historical novel "Encounter" (1986) by Hahn Moo-Sook where he makes the point that scholars writing history are constrained to probability whereas novelists are constrained to possibility. To all the above comments: You know, I was angry at the How I Met Your Mother finale, like really, spitting flames type angry. All she got in return was a bitter forced suicide she was so misunderstood. 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). Then Officer Jang and him could have travelled far searching for the queen, end up in this town at the end and reunited. Our royal guard MooYoung is laughing in heaven at these horrible freshmen of hell. The drama took some risks like killing off the king halfway, according to the actor who played haksan it was something they had in mind since the beginning. But i don't think thats what happened. I sure hope Lord Giseong was also PRINCE Giseong, because there would have been quite a commotion if Ha Sun had passed the crown outside the royal family. A) Ha Seon gives up the throne. Stretching it A LOT, but okay. But, no. also the end was dreamlike, similar to the soft focus happy endings of Crash Landing on You but were these true endings or just wishful thinking? The King? That's a leap as big as Everest, but okay, fine. The Crown is unlikely to continue past a sixth season, the Netflix show's executive producer has confirmed. I didnt watch more than the first episode, but to kill off such a central character and then not resolve the conflict that the murder would have caused would have been an utterly frustrating watch for me as well. Anyway, this was my first sageuk and I'm really glad I watched it. But the main flaws I had with it are Jang's demise and So Woon's reaction to Ha Sun's disappearance. The point I was trying to make in this essay, is that I think The Crowned Clown has objectively bad writing flaws- namely Yi Heon is an example of bad character writing, whether he dies or not (@leetennant) The writing, on the other hand, definitely the weakest link. 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. According to Nielsen Korea, the highly-anticipated March 4 finale of the historical drama achieved the drama's highest viewership. I wanted to see some little clowns running around. HAECHI is my only live watch right now. DEFINITELY MLDBC!! 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. (I did watch it, and I was right.). (Maybe even a Lord GSB cameo by Lee Byung-hyun?). also, thanks to the author for the recap. 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. They just wanted to show the Clown as King. To me they always make for a cliched and boring ending. Absolutely no repercussions, to the King even existing, let alone the Clown taking the throne and the King dying. His death scene was really great. They weren't flawless, but they honored their own internal logic and the characters' developmental arcs. The ending is meh.. 3. Not to mention that Ha Sun The Clown didn't even get to be a clown very much, so where was that characterization? I was not expecting his remaining foes, Daebi and Lord Shin, to lose their mojo or get a group rate on lobotomies. Couldnt stop watching. It was a peculiar incident. And then the Clown and his Queen live happily ever after, after the Clown suddenly abdicates after having a COMPLETE change in behaviour and personality I might add, that nobody frakking realises. He can only be as abusive or violent or lost or addicted to drugs as his writing allows. Because everything the Clown does under pretense as the King, will be seen by the other characters, as being done by the King.
