So, I decided to start things up again by watching The King and The Clown, since it's such a hit and all. Anyways, here goes...(I've decided to abandon my old way of formatting entries since it was such a pain in the ass)<br /><strong></strong><br /><strong>The Story:</strong> 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.<br /><br /><strong>What I thought:</strong><br /><br /><ul><li>overall, it was really good</li><li>very interesting; two thumbs up for plot and subplots</li><li>multifaceted, but not confusing</li><li><strong>love</strong> the characters; well rounded, had depth</li><li>gorgeous costumes</li><li>entertaining thoughout</li><li>not draggy at all</li><li>very nice choice of music</li><li>very good acting</li></ul><p><strong>Note of Criticism:</strong></p><ul><li>didn't <em>quite</em> reach my expecations; I thought it was going to blow me away</li><li>I <em>really </em>didn't like crying-Junki </li><li>Plus, he was too feminine at times; it kind of creeped me out</li></ul><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18712983-115179779174931216?l=hoaizzle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>H-izzlenoreply@blogger.com0
