The confusing and conspiratorial 15th ruler of Korea's Joseon Dynasty King Gwang-hae
(Lee Byung-hun) orders
his councilor, Heo Gyun (Ryu Seung-ryong),to
find him a double in order to avoid the constant threat of assassination.
Heo Gyun finds Ha-sun, a lowly acrobat and bawdy joker who looks remarkably like
the king, and just as feared, Gwang-hae is poisoned. Heo Gyun proposes Ha-sun
fill the role as the king until Gwang-hae recovers fully and grooms Ha-sun to
look and act every bit the king.
While assuming the role of the king at his first official appearance, Ha-sun
begins to ponder the intricacies of the problems debated in his court. Being
fundamentally more humanitarian than 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.
