The Crowned Clown is a remake of the 2012 Korean film "Masquerade". The Korean drama is about the power struggles surrounding King Yi Heon/Gwanghaegun. The story is about a clown named Ha Sun who looks nearly identical to the King who is brought into the palace by the King's orders to take the place of the King as a plan for the King to avoid assassination. The premise of the story is not unique but the drama was well acted by the cast and the soundtrack was great. I have not watched the original film so I can't compare the two. Overall, this drama was good but it's not the best drama that I have watched this year.
