Looking at it, I think the actor looks okay. But in ancient times in Korea, the troupe really couldn't get on the stage... To put it bluntly, it was a bit like the mentally handicapped version of "Farewell My Concubine" in Korea. Anyway, just want to say, no culture is no culture. It is useless to steal all kinds of Chinese culture. There is a paragraph in the middle obviously learning Chinese Peking Opera, please, please don't insult us...isn't it enough to steal the movable type printing and the Dragon Boat Festival?

Pal-bok: [From subtitles] Isn't she the King's Consort?
Chil-duk: Sure is. What on earth is that woman doing?
Pal-bok: People say, she a lady now but she still shits like a horse. So then the rumors were true after all!

[From subtitles]
Gong-gil: [atop a tightrope] To be up here, away from the bustle, my legs like wings would spread.
Jang-sang: [from below] Ahoy! What is that flower in full bloom I see yonder?
Street musician: Dost thou not recognize the one and only?
Jang-sang: So it is! The one and only! With rose petal'd lips. O Friend, beat thee thy leather while I go pick the flower.
Gong-gil: [watching Jang-sang ascend the tightrope] My, my, there comes a fool, rash and proud! Never knew a fool who knew his place!
Jang-sang: Ho! A tongue most untamed! Master of this house am I, come to bait thee!
Gong-gil: A gallows-hung scoundrel is what I see with an ill-fitting coat to hide his sores!
Jang-sang: Oh thorny Rose, is thy iris closed for me? Open them, and see as I walk the Master's gait. Oh, really!
[Jang-sang precariously walks across the tightrope]
Jang-sang: [finally reaching the other side] Good heavens! Me thought it would be a mere hop and a skip but t'was longer than a runny trip to the outhouse!
Gong-gil: [having climbed down] Master gait, master bait, either way strains the balls!
Jang-sang: And now, a fornicating wench, running off upon being surprised. 'Tis thy own form, saucy wench.
[Jang-sang quickly walks back across the tightrope again]
Gong-gil: I was expecting to see thee fall and crack thy frame. But not bad!
Jang-sang: Indeed, gifted are my two legs, but it is my third that has true genius - and thou shall see it this night!
[Jang-sang performs acrobatics on the tightrope]
Blackhat: Master wants to see you.
Gong-gil: Thy twin eggs, are they cracked yet or just in the crack?
Jang-sang: [as the crowd laughs] Safely in the crack, plugging my bunghole! But now, I must drain my bladder. I gotta pee before I continue!
Gong-gil: Why, you dirty boor! So then, let's try it on for size!
Jang-sang: Good idea! I shall oblige!
