This is the most recent korean movie I saw and I”m really loving it!

A note of caution though, this is for mature audiece. trust mne on this.

As of a brief synopsis, here is information I found on the net.

The King and the Clown (・菩攪 ・ｨ・・ Wang ui Namja) is a 2005 South Korean film, adapted from the 2000 Korean play titled “Yi”, (“You”) about Yeonsangun of Joseon, a Joseon dynasty king who falls in love with a court clown who mocks him. The movie is based on a small passage from the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty that briefly mentions the king’s favorite clown. It is the highest grossing (over $85,000,000 in domestic receipts) Korean film in history with 12.3 million viewers, surpassing total admissions of Silmido and Taegukgi. Production costs were relatively modest for a Korean film, approximately $4.5 million dollars.

There are alternative titles of this movie: The King’s Men or The King’s Man (the literal translation of the Korean title) and All the King’s Men (working title).
