Excelente película
Tenía muchas ganas de ver esta película por tratarse del primer trabajo de Lee Joon Gi, quien interpreta al hermoso y delicado Gong-gil, y tal y como esperaba, trabaja espectacularmente, haciendo notar que desde sus inicios ha sido un excelente actor (me parece maravilloso que Joon Gi esté a día de hoy tan orgulloso de haber trabajado en este film). El cast en general, igualmente, me pareció muy bueno. Kam Woo Sung, quien interpreta a Jang-seng, era un completo desconocido para mí pero me encantó tanto su personaje como la interpretación que hizo del mismo. Ambos protagonistas despliegan un abanico de emociones muy amplias y profundas que logran ganarse al espectador.La producción es buenísima: los vestuarios son hermosos y las puestas en escena de las obras de teatro son increíbles, y encima con cada obra nueva todo este aspecto mejora más y más. La última obra es impresionante visualmente. Si bien esta película es todo un drama, maneja un humor muy particular que me encantó, y que está muy bien aprovechado con los juglares y las obras, creando un buen balance entre lo trágico y lo cómico.
La trama es sencilla pero cuesta muchísimo imaginar a dónde va a parar todo, qué les va a pasar a los juglares, de qué es capaz el rey y cuáles son sus objetivos. Esta intriga constante y la tensión que había en muchos momentos, hicieron que las dos horas que la peli dura se me pasaran volando. Me encantó la forma en que se revelaron diferentes cuestiones del pasado de cada personaje principal, y la escena final es tremenda y súper emotiva. En fin, una película buenísima, me encantó.

STORY:
Definitely nothing as I had imagined. Does keep you hooked through the questioning thoughts of each scene. Many scenes I did not know whether to take it serious or see the funny side so many times I watched on in neutral until revealed. The awkwardness and uncomfortableness and fear when dealing with the king did manage to overflow into me that I myself did not dare laugh until the king did (it also helps to know that his laugh is funny) . And of course someone had to die :( ...
ACTING:
Was well believable; got nothing to add :)
SOUNDTRACK:
In honesty the soundtrack song is the reason I found out about the film :)

As for the story, it really wasn't bad. It showed the relationship between two people who are incredible friends. The friendship between those two is what makes this movie good. The shows that the jesters put on had me laughing each time. Those are really the only two things I enjoyed about the movie.
The last half hour or so had me wondering how much longer it would be until it was finished. It just seemed to really be dragging.
Acting/Cast: Without a doubt, the saving grace of this movie.
The chemistry between Lee Jun Ki and Kam Woo Sung was fantastic. I had absolutely no trouble believing they were best friends.
When Yu Hae Jin, Jung Suk Yong, and Lee Seung Hun come in later, they're another trio of people I could easily believe were best friends.
All five of them together was endearing to watch.
Jung Jin Young is what I loved about this movie though. I've seen quite a few historical Korean dramas/movies, and he was, by far, my favorite king. He was eccentric, and it was awesome. He always seemed to be having such a great time, and it was adorable.
Music: I don't remember a single piece of music from this movie. There was the beating of drums during skits from the jesters, but that's all I remember hearing.
Rewatch Value: The cast alone, unfortunately, is not enough to make me want to ever watch this again.
Overall: Taking into account my love of the friendship storyline, the chemistry between the five main jesters, and Jung Jin Young as the king, that's what gets this movie an 8 from me.

I did not expect to have my brain cells in gear
At the time of writing this review, I am currently on a quest of watching all of Lee Joon Gi. This is among the most accessible ones and diving into it I had no idea what I was getting into. I might be calling this a masterpiece for how much it took me off guard, since I was on an impression of a light-hearted, 2-hour immersion. Maybe it's good to not let titles fool you, just as they say to not judge the book by its cover (hah). Out of all the things this movie might impress you by, I'd say with how well the script is written it is the crème de la crème, and only the best acting gives justice to this level of writing. Overall, it inspired me to write this review to say I now understand why Lee Joon Gi became who he is after this film. But of course, everyone in the film has levelled with him (superb acting). Watched it for him, I definitely got more than what I expected.P.S. all the awards this film amassed was well-deserved.
P.P.S just wanted to add it's a film ahead of its time for its theme, and one that is timeless.

I've watched A LOT of Kdramas in between now & five years ago when I first saw this film, & it remains my #1 favorite. Given the quality of Kdrama, in general, being at the top is a truly remarkable feat, indeed! This should be a "Definitely Watch!"

The street performers were very good i didnt know they had things like that back then. However that guy was unusually cute that left me feelin uncomfortable, i hope he`s more manly in real life. Any how fairly decent show and can watch so go for it.

I'm sad that people don't get the story and the beauty of this film. I think it was made supporting the LGBTQ community and to also show how the society and class order can mess someone up, be it a king or a lowly entertainer.

Heck when I first watched it I was all like "HUH?" and did not even both to watch closely. I would've rated it a 7-8 at first.
But on the second time around when I really paid attention, it was just so much more in depth and powerful than just friendship or love. The relations between the characters, the nature of each character, the impact that one character has on another, the emotions that flow through them and their actions...
I can't even explain it properly but just know that this movie did not become a huge Korean hit for no reason.

Inusuale, "antico" ma godibile
Tenuto conto che si tratta di un film che ha quasi vent'anni, girato in Corea, tanto di cappello. E' ovvio che non può essere paragonato ad un'opera dei giorni nostri.Un Lee Joon Gi ancora in boccio, ma che già prometteva quel che ha poi mantenuto, e anche tutto il resto del cast ha funzionato alla grande. E' normale che nella lunghezza di un film si perdano molte sfumature, la storia si sarebbe forse potuta migliorare con un breve drama, ma anche così è stata soddisfacente.
Forse un po' oscuro e sospeso il finale, in linea con le ultime inquadrature che vedono i protagonisti sospesi per aria.
Un'ottima visione, per me.
