    What amazes me most about this movie is that Lee Jun-ki can be more beautiful and charming than women. Of course, what impresses me even more is the director's incisive and vivid portrayal of the faint-hearted prince and the common people! It deeply attracts the hearts of moviegoers, and has been following the protagonist's footsteps to see his fate....

    Kong Ji is not the king's man

    I bought a CD for a long time, and I just watched it today. It is completely different from what I imagined.
    The real protagonist of this film should be Wang He Changsheng.
    Wang's childhood suffered a major blow. His mother left in such a tragic way. His Oedipus feelings haunted him all his life...

    Can't see the heaviness of history

    First time watching a Korean historical drama. It may be due to the lack of understanding of the social background and cultural atmosphere at that time, and the boundaries between the limitations of characters (crowds) and the limitations of the times are not clear when judging characters. But at...

The King and the Clown quotes

  • [From subtitles]

    Gong-gil: [atop a tightrope] To be up here, away from the bustle, my legs like wings would spread.

    Jang-sang: [from below] Ahoy! What is that flower in full bloom I see yonder?

    Street musician: Dost thou not recognize the one and only?

    Jang-sang: So it is! The one and only! With rose petal'd lips. O Friend, beat thee thy leather while I go pick the flower.

    Gong-gil: [watching Jang-sang ascend the tightrope] My, my, there comes a fool, rash and proud! Never knew a fool who knew his place!

    Jang-sang: Ho! A tongue most untamed! Master of this house am I, come to bait thee!

    Gong-gil: A gallows-hung scoundrel is what I see with an ill-fitting coat to hide his sores!

    Jang-sang: Oh thorny Rose, is thy iris closed for me? Open them, and see as I walk the Master's gait. Oh, really!

    [Jang-sang precariously walks across the tightrope]

    Jang-sang: [finally reaching the other side] Good heavens! Me thought it would be a mere hop and a skip but t'was longer than a runny trip to the outhouse!

    Gong-gil: [having climbed down] Master gait, master bait, either way strains the balls!

    Jang-sang: And now, a fornicating wench, running off upon being surprised. 'Tis thy own form, saucy wench.

    [Jang-sang quickly walks back across the tightrope again]

    Gong-gil: I was expecting to see thee fall and crack thy frame. But not bad!

    Jang-sang: Indeed, gifted are my two legs, but it is my third that has true genius - and thou shall see it this night!

    [Jang-sang performs acrobatics on the tightrope]

    Blackhat: Master wants to see you.

    Gong-gil: Thy twin eggs, are they cracked yet or just in the crack?

    Jang-sang: [as the crowd laughs] Safely in the crack, plugging my bunghole! But now, I must drain my bladder. I gotta pee before I continue!

    Gong-gil: Why, you dirty boor! So then, let's try it on for size!

    Jang-sang: Good idea! I shall oblige!

  • Jang-sang: Kingly is he who struts for a while, then exits in style.
