The Story
Welcome to my The Crowned Clown – Unspoiled Review. Inspired by the classic “The Prince and the Pauper”, The Crowned Clown tells the story of a young man who grew up with a group of travelling performers during the Joseon period. The country itself is in turmoil due to the mental instability of the King. When those closest to the King find out that the young clown looks exactly like the royal, they decide to install the clown as King to protect the real King from assassination. Now they must fool everyone in the palace into believing that this uneducated clown is the true King, especially the Queen. But this becomes increasingly harder as the clown King and Queen begin to develop feelings for each other.
Should I Watch
I love Yeo Jin Goo in this double role. The story is interesting and not overly predictable. If you don’t like the darker historical dramas that focus on palace politics and intrigue, then you should probably skip this one. But if you like historicals with interesting plots and great acting, this is a must see. The storyline is evenly paced and offers some unique twists. I give The Crowned Clown an 10 out of 10 ramen.
