king and the clown


korean film, king's man, (originally performed on the stage) hit the box office at the end of the last year and still it's on the top of the box office. the movie is about Korean history, but of course it is faction(fact+fiction). four main characters' complicated minds, interesting plot and beautiful korean traditional color and clothings. feel their sorrow and fill your emotion!(maybe other foreigners could have a chance to watch this movie in cannes film festival)
