The only reason I didn't give this one star was because it was great to see Tennant step back into the Tardis. And him addressing the Donna memory plotline was something that Dr. Who fans have wanted for quite some time. But...that hope dies off rather quickly. Or rather, it gets killed.
The nostalgic feelings for this reunion are quite immediately replaced by cringey dialoge and blatant hostility for the past. Which makes no sense, since it I believe the casting was done purposely to reconnect with the Fandom that have seemingly abandoned the series after its last few incarnations.
Other than an obviously increased production value, nothing has been improved from the Era this series seems to be trying to cash in on. And, to be quite honest, I'd take the campy feel and kitschy special effects of the original Tennant run over these because the story doesn't possess even a fraction of the heart it once did.
Look, I'm an American. So, Dr. Who wasn't a cultural institution for me as it may be for many Brits. I started watching with Tennant and his determination and positive outlooks were a staple that drew you in. And it made his moments of loss and sacrifice all the more poignant. He was a Timelord who accepted the reality and responsibility of that role. However, in this he seems like a whipped puppy who just takes the abuse, as if it's deserved.
Dr. Who, for me, was always a testament to hope. He faced numerous unimaginable hardships in in order to save the world. A world that, with all its faults and missteps, would continue on and evolve. That it's not the destination, but rather the journey that was the point. The journey and the friends you make along the way. However, after watching this, the world seems to have lost all its joy and even it's humanity. It makes you wonder, was it really worth saving after all?

I've seen many people compare this to another series based around a fictional kingdom with dragons. I'll agree with that mostly because like that one, "The Crowned Clown" just didn't know how to end. The only difference is while the former felt rushed, this ending seems to drag on way too long.
The acting, costumes, scenery, and action are all what we've come to expect from South Koreas blooming movie industry. And the story being based off of Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper" has no trouble bringing England's post-Reformation drama into Korea's bloody Joseon period. A time when heirs to the throne rarely died of old age.
However, as well as everything came together, I think this "dish" got left on the stove just a little too long. As a result of this, while you'll most likely binge watch the 16 episodes of this series (as I did), you may find the ending drags a bit too long. And that ending, which should have been satisfying, feels more akin to something you'd see on a daytime Soap Opera.

I would've given this show a 10-Star review if it ended after the first season. Heck, maybe if they stopped after the 2nd or 3rd. But, no. The writers continued the show for a full 5 seasons while removing a majority of the principle actors for younger characters with new storylines.
Now, while the latter seasons weren't "bad" per se, but just seemed to lack the weight of the ones we had already experienced. Add to that some not so subtle "All West Texans are bigoted rednecks" (even though the respected town mayor is an open, if not closeted, lesbian) and you find yourself at times rolling your eyes.
That said, I believe the show ended EXACTLY as it should. So, whether you like sports movies such as "Varsity Blues (1999)" or TV dramas like "This Is Us (2012)" you will certainly not want to miss watching this.
