Two clowns living in the Chosun Dynasty get arrested for staging a
play that satirizes the king. They are dragged to the palace and
threatened with execution, but are given a chance to save their
lives if they can make the king laugh.
Jang-seng (KAM Woo-sung) and Gong-gil (LEE Joon-ki) are co-workers,
who belong to the same acting team on the road in the years of the
infamous King Yon-san, during the Chosun Dynasty. One day, they
went to Seoul for a big show site to make and their team hit the
jackpot by playing a show about the King (JUNG Jin-young) and his
lady, femme fatale, Nok-soo (KANG Sung-yeon) But soon they get
arrested for insulting the royal king and Jang-seng bet their lives
to make the King laugh with their play. Their fortunate success
leads them to stay in the palace and perform regular plays. As the
King shows growing attraction and love towards Gong-gil, Nok-soo
who is out of control of her lust and envy for Gong-gil, as the
king turns his back to her, secretly plots to take Gong-gil's
life.
