Plot
At the height of the 16th-century Chosun Dynasty, a pair of rural
male actors—boisterous, macho Jang-seng and quiet, feminine
Gong-gil—travel to Seoul and team up with a struggling acting troupe.
When their irreverent show—complete with enough bawdy humor and
gender-bending to make a contemporary audience blush—mocks the famously
hedonistic king, they get more than they bargained for. After being
promptly arrested, they’re given a chance to spare themselves if they
can make the king laugh. To everyone’s surprise, the ecstatic monarch
loves the show and names the actors official court jesters, giving them
more extravagant food and shelter than they’d ever imagined. But the
king’s attentiveness to Gong-gil makes it quickly apparent that humor
isn’t the only thing motivating his generosity. The king’s mistress, the
country’s ministers and Jang-seng soon grow suspicious, and jealousy
and anger spring from all sides.
