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. 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. 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! I neglected to state that Jin-goo's performances were great, and that Kim Sang-kyung is a new favorite. It might have all been clear to Koreans or anyone else who knows the province names, but it seems to me like they were jerking us around by having the general from near the northern border turn around and then having another general turn up like magic. Like you, I'm only live-watching one drama at present, having dropped both TRAP and ITEM. Sigh. I just discovered in Merriam-Webster that the oft used kdrama translated word punk is a synonym for beginner!) I was confused too about why the queen dowager spoke to Ha Sun as the king. So-woon tells him that hes done enough, and that she supports his decision. Not bashing the show, these are just my thoughts. Some found it a plot mistake but others didn't or found it interesting . JUMONG was simply momentous, with KINGDOM OF THE WINDS a worthy successor. And some shows just seem to have an initial hump that I have to get over before they draw me in but then from there on out it's smooth sailing.

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. There was so much dormant potential with this turn of events, yet this treasonous act wasn't delved into further which is a shame. Where did he get money to travel around? version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 Both of them walked right into Ha Sun's traps. What, he doesnt get to benefit from the magic two year time leap ? The decoy is a clown who happens to be the king's doppelgnger. Why didnt the Queen let his sister know who she was, Also I was also confused at how Shin got back in the palace back in his uniform for the assembly meeting when he broke out of jail And was sentenced to death, Because I loved the drama so much and was on the edge of my seat I was expecting a Scarlet Heart type ending or Queen for Seven Days even but do t get this one at all but would still give it 9/10. 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? It WAS a good decision for Ha Seon to abdicate. I was expecting more repercussions and a deeper analysis into these morally grey characters, but their actions, especially the murder of Yi Heon, were brushed over in simple strokes, diminishing the weight and impact of these moments. That is what they wanted to tell. All Rights Reserved. In comparison, I was passionately and unequivocally committed to REBEL for the entire run of that show. People who watch sageuks want historically acurrate stories, right?

However, they should have shown the Queen passing on so that Ho-Sun could have been stated met her in the afterlife. 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. I was sure there would be a flashbacks putting thing in context. 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. It has been a pleasure. Well have the full season review written up shortly but for now, its fair to say the show ended on a well-deserved high. Instead of the time jump etc. Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that!

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. Dont base it on a doppelganger trope at all if youre going to do that! I have no qualms about it. (Maybe even a Lord GSB cameo by Lee Byung-hyun?). The King : I think it was sad they didn't show him more as a Crown Prince. Hence I've been making an effort to be somewhat detached and not take CROWNED CLOWN too personally. Since NIF is set in fictional ancient China, I think it will be easier to differentiate HAECHI from it than from another sageuk. (~You know, its kind of paradoxical. Where was Ha Sun the whole time in those two years???? :-) That means, that everybody else in the entire canon palace world of this show, thinks, the Clown, is a KING they already know. ;-). Thanks so much for the recaps LollyPip! In order to escape those who plan to assassinate him, the King puts a clown, who looks exactly like him, on the throne. He was the best!!
