Due to growing fame for that guy(right;long hair), this film was brought in local cinemas last few months ago.
Remember this guy..i mentioned in my previous blog entry about Korean Drama "My Girl" that he will make big.
It seem to be true. suave,sharped and pointed cheeks and nice shape chin...I bet that many womens will fall for this attractive part and tons of men envy his looks.
"The film, by director Lee Jun-ik (Once Upon a Time in a Battlefield) focuses on a pair of clowns who perform comic plays, songs, and acrobatic tricks for aristocrats or commoners during the Chosun Dynasty. Jangsaeng, played by Gam Woo-sung (Spider Forest), possesses a disarming self-confidence and disrespect for authority that seems likely to get him into trouble one day. Konggil, portrayed by Lee Joon-ki (Flying Boys), plays the woman to Jangsaeng's man in the comic skits they perform. Konggil also possesses a certain self-confidence and grace that turns him into an object of fascination and desire for the pair's aristocratic patrons (not to mention modern-day Korean schoolgirls). In contrast to his later relationship with the insane King Yonsan, romantic feelings between Konggil and Jangseung are strongly implied, but never stated explicitly.
After the two arrive in the capital Seoul (or Hanyang, as it is called at the time), the entrepreneurial Jangseung hits upon the idea of performing a skit that satirizes the king and his famous concubine Noksu. The somewhat lewd and hilarious parody brings them quick fame and piles of cash, but before long it lands them in chains at the feet of the king himself.
Like Welcome to Dongmakgol and Memories of Murder before it, King and the Clown is based on a local play (titled Yi), and the film makes good use of its source's rich narrative material. Although the second half, centered in the palace, lacks the energy of the first, the slower pace is not inappropriate given the film's darkening tone. Jeong Jin-young (Hi, Dharma) is quite interesting as King Yonsan, one of Korea's most famous and notorious monarchs who possessed concentrated power but lacked the sanity to use it effectively. Apart from a well-formed plot, however, the film's real highlight is the play-acting by the two clowns. Both actors are mezmerising in their verbal sparring and their enthusiasm for performing, and one wishes there were even more of these scenes to enjoy.
If King and the Clown had possessed a visual and cinematic sophistication to match the skills of its actors, then it may have emerged as a breakout international hit, like an earthy version of Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine (a film with clear plot parallels, that King seems to reference in a parody of Chinese opera in the second half). Alas, Lee's direction is capable but rather plain in a visual sense, despite the colorful costumes and set."
Wah,this movie is a classic example that beauty is your downfall.
If you try to use looks to attract someone,it wlll not last long.
if u want it to last long, u need to look deeper into someone.
It is common thinking that pretty faces will instantly get someone he/she want.
But alas, they still choose someobody else rather than this pretty face.
It is odd world for you.
Rating:8/10
It reminded me of an episode of Naruto anime...the man who arranged to marry the queen who overeat within days end up fat lady.
This queen hired someone to pretend as her because she look like the queen.
of course she is slim..
The man is fat and has elvis presley(sp?) look.By right,he would have put off by the the queen.
But it didn't happen when the disguise plan failed and he saw the real queen.
He said ,"WONDERFUL,you and i fit each other and let marry."
It was enough to shock this slim girl and Nartuo conclude that no one can know what kind of women men like.
Indeed...
Looks bored me but character don't bored me at all.*wink*
