About This DVD
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,
and making a star of its androgynous-looking lead, Lee Jun Gi. 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 so rarely seen in Korean Cinema, but that this one time,
has now been seen by a quarter of Korea's population!
