The King and the Clown

The story is about King Yongsangun, a cruel and licentious character in Korean history, who falls for a court jester. The latter had been performing with his partner in front of the king. The plot of their performances mainly was mocking the king, but the king was not offended and was instead greatly entertained. In between, the king tries to eliminate those court officials who had opposed him or had a hand in the killing of his biological mother, including 2 of the late emperor's concubines.

The movie was touching at times but also entertaining at others, especially when the duo are performing the skits. Didn't know that long time ago they were also going into this theme liao... wahaha...

Konggil, the clown, was played by Lee Joon-ki. I can't help but think that he is actually a female when I saw the movie poster for the first time. He has such nice features overall, and looked very 秀气. No wonder the men in the movie were all over him... :P ... And this guy i so hot now in Korea that his popularity even surpass that of Rain. The king was played by Jeong Jin-young. And I think he played the role well as he got this really 'perverted' look on his face which really suited his character.

Overall I think this show is worth your time and money.
