My advice is to watch with an open mind but with no too high expectations or spectacle. It is more about the plot than anything else. For I am not sure myself what to take from the storyline. For most of the film I was wondering whether he was a man or woman (I did not want to check out the cast) and even then I had the lingering desire to know whether I was meant to think that something happened with the king or it was just a platonic relationship / friendship. Then we are made to wait for the explanation between Gong Gil and Jang Seng – how they became friends??? 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 :)
