YesAsia Editorial Description

The surprise success story of 2005, King And The Clown shocked everyone by coming out of nowhere to become the highest grossing film of the year in Korea. The movie dominated at the 43rd Daejong Awards, picking up 10 awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Script, Best Photography, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor. Gam Woo Sung was crowned Best Actor, while Lee Jun Gi, the androgyenous-looking lead who shot to stardom with this film, received the Best New Actor Award.

A modestly produced feature, with a cast featuring no A-list performers, the film is set during the reign of infamous king Yeon-San. Two performing clowns (Lee and Gam Woo Sung from Spider Forest) produce a satirical play, which criticizes the country's ruler. While this makes them highly popular amongst the common people, it gets them into a world of trouble with the authorities.

The two performers are arrested and accused of treason, a crime that carries the death penalty. The clowns then make a deal with the King (Jeong Jin Young - Hi, Dharma) - if they can make him laugh with their play-acting, he will spare them. They are successful, and become the official entertainers of the royal court. Things become more complicated, however, as the king shows increasing affection towards one of the clowns and they realize that their lives may have begun down an irreversible path. A thrilling drama exploring secret desire in the top echelons of power, King And The Clown is a taboo-breaking cinematic treat that tackles subject matter rarely seen in Korean Cinema.

Excellent Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have had this movie for over a year and just did not feel like seeing it even though I know this is a famous movie. Then I saw Lee in the movie "My girl" and I was still not very impressed with him but has more interest in seeing this movie. I was "wowed" by this movie instantly once I started watching it . The script is fantastic. Very few movies keeps my interest like this one. I watch the whole movie in one setting and enjoy every minute of it. Kudos to the entrie cast .

 You will Love it :) Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
"King and The Clown" basically talks about what is called the happiness. The king is often depressed, anxious, unstable because of the shadow of his family tragedy in the past. And the situation is changed when he is interested to a "pretty" clown from a group of singing & dancing street-performers. Yes, the king finds back his happiness. However, he doesn't realize that his intimate relationship with his beloved clown will lead to... other tragedies. This gay-theme movie, besides has a strong plot, is also visually artistic. It's stunning from begin to end. Truly an excellent Korean drama movie!

 You will love it! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
"King and the Clown" succeeds because it tells a wonderful, gripping, eye-catching, chin-dropping story of two street-performing friends who end up becoming court jesters to a mentally unstable king. The movie never cheapens the story, never sensationalizes the story. It stays honest, truthful, and powerful by sticking to its theme of friendship.

What a great story! What a great movie! "King and the Clown" will appeal both to fans of high-brow art films and popular entertainment movies. I recommend it very highly.

 A Great Film!......... Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
King and The Clown got me thinking for a while. I think I've finally got it that love is innocent, unexpected and a little burry sometimes. Only this time the protagonists are all male. The director is very artistic and has shown great depths in this movie. He is no doubt first rate. I like the commentary that he makes against social injustics. To me the saddest and haunting part of the movie is watching the plight of the protagonists and street performers whose survival hinged on the whim of an unstable and neurotic king.

Lee Jun Ki did an outstanding job at such young age. I like him a lot. Watching this movie once is enough for me because it is really sad despite the fact that it is very entertaining.

a must see film Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I know this film has been out on market for a while, I was hestitate to see because the front cover shown male actor looks womanlike. I finally see this and it capture all my attention thru out the movie, not only its great actors and story line. It's shown the society between wealthy and poor. I'm extemely satify for watching this movie and I wish I should see this earlier.
