The Movie, The Madness, The Magic -- Masquerade

Destined 2 Be an Autumn's Concerto

We interrupt our regular broadcast to bring you The Movie, The Madness, The Magic. Where this season we will be discussing movies and anything in between.

The confusing and conspiratorial 15th ruler of Korea's Joseon Dynasty King Gwang-hae orders his Secretary of Defense, Heo Gyun, to find him a double in order to avoid the constant threat of assassination.

They find Ha-sun, a lowly acrobat and bawdy joker who looks remarkably like the king to replace the king occasionally whenever the king is out of the palace. In few days, just as feared, King Gwang-hae is drugged with Poppy by his favorite consort, conspired by the law minister. While assuming the role of the king, until the King recovers, Ha-sun begins to ponder the intricacies of the problems debated in his court. Being fundamentally more humanitarian than King Gwang-hae, Ha-sun’s affection and appreciation of even the most minor servants slowly changes morale in the palace for the better. Over time he finds his voice and takes control of governing the country with real insight and fair judgments. But with a paranoid king who doesn’t trust anyone, will his way of ruling cause trouble for himself?
