Utterly Flawed

Warning: Spoilers
The Crowned Clown had potential, but has objectively bad writing flaws. Yi Heon (the original king) is an example of bad character writing. I am frustrated that they reduced Yi Heon (the original King) to nothing, when he was in my opinion the most interesting and important character, but they just used him as a plot device. Why even give us Yi Heon as a character with a backstory to begin with if you're just going to do that to him. The queen also has writing flaws, she completely abandoned the king without no remorse. It's like he never even existed even though she was about to jump off..?? But then again the clown is the better version of the king, right? Laughable. It's poorly constructed as a concept as well, the whole "let's pretend the clown is the king while the king goes wild because doppelgängers, but then do that to the king cause he don't matter, right?" I'm also upset that the mother of the king never got retribution for her sufferings. She was a sad misunderstood character. All she got in return was a bowl of death.
