The Crowned Clown
Amid political chaos and threats against King Lee Hun, a clown named Ha Sun, who closely resembles the king, is brought into the palace as his double. Orphaned during an epidemic and raised by a troupe of clowns, Ha Sun once impersonated the king on stage. Now living as the monarch, he fears being discovered and falls in love with Queen Yoo So Woon. ~~ Remake of "Masquerade" (2012), which in turn is inspired by "The Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twain.
