During the reign of the infamous King Yeon-san, two clowns (Gam
Woo-Sung and Lee Joon-Ki, both mesmerizing here) star in a satirical
play about the powerful monarch, which becomes popular among the
commoners. Immediately arrested for treason, they bet their lives on
making the king laugh at their routine, and their surprising success
allows them to stay in the palace as royal performers. When the king (Hi, Dharma’s
Jeong Jin-Young) starts displaying an irresistible attraction toward
one of the clowns, the performers quickly realize that they may be in
over their heads. A pop culture phenomenon, this mid-budget romance
about man love ended up selling more tickets than any other film in
Korean history – cementing itself deeply in the public consciousness and
becoming a culture-defining romantic hit.
