The King and The Clown



왕의 남자 王的男人 The King and The Clown
Summary:
The King and the Clown takes place in the Joseon Dynasty, like so many other generic Korean dramas, but the plot has a very original spin. The story centers on a band of impoverished traveling entertainers. The two main characters Jang-Saeng and Gong-il are lovers. It’s obvious the two have an amazing bond as they really look out for each other. They decide to go to Hanyang (now Seoul) where they can put on a bigger and better show. There, they find other talented minstrels to join their act.
In order to draw a crowd and make more money, Jang-Seang, the default leader of the troupe, decides to stage a show mocking the King and his favorite concubine Nok-Su. One of the King’s officials gets wind of the show and has the troupe arrested for treason. The official agrees to let them perform for the King with the agreement that if the King enjoys the show, their lives are spared. In fact, the true motive the official has in taking the troupe to the palace is to expose the corruption plaguing the King’s regime.





Comment:- When I saw the actors name, I was shocked to see Lee Jun Ki this name lol. I never thought that he will act in BL movie. He even look like a girl!!! >< That is the specialist of Japanese and Korean people. Some man look more beautiful than girl lol...=~= The king was insane. Just kill and kill. The ending did not say the death of the main character. But I think they say about they happily perform when they did not saw the king.
