Unexpected "The King's Man"

A long time ago, I saw Miao Zai talking about "The King's Man" on his blog, and the focus was on Lee Jun Ki, a beautiful man. Afterwards, from the information obtained from bits and pieces, my impression seems to be that "The King's Man" is just a movie about male pets, and some people say that it is the Korean version of "Brokeback Mountain". So, I imagined that this should be a slow-paced, obscure picture, and depressing atmosphere. But after I finished watching "The King's Man", I found that any subjective assumptions are not advisable, and any comments and introductions may be misleading. I think this is a very good-looking movie, whether it's the picture, the plot or the actors, it's pretty good.

In this way, the encounter of the two male actors of the harlequin show tells a historical era, which is very interesting and fascinating. Li Junji is really a beautiful man, and that seductive temperament comes from the bottom of his heart. The short play before Kong Ji and Changsheng didn't enter the palace was very comforting. The two were on their way to escape. Changsheng saw Kong Ji being gloomy, so he made fun of him and played a short blind man play. That part, You can see their unrestrained and optimistic nature. After encountering a few harlequins in Rokka in Seoul, there are also very entertaining harlequin performances. I've found that in Korean dramas, whether it's a movie or a TV series, the supporting roles can often come out. Although they are indeed harlequins, humble, and funny, they are very cute. After entering the palace, the atmosphere began to be a little depressing and tense, but the picture was always within the tolerable range, even when it was showing the cruelty of the king. Wang's cruelty and distortion of character do not seem to be disgusting. His character was distorted and sympathetic because he lost his mother's love in the struggle of Gong Wei since he was a child. His love for Kong Ji is more manifested as a Kind of self-pity, weeping in front of him, and venting his resentment and dissatisfaction through acting and amusing. As for the part of suspected homosexuality, it is rarely shown in a positive way, but there are some small hints. I agree with the use of this implicit method to express the feelings between the same sex. In fact, I do not agree with saying that this drama is a Korean version Bishan, Wang's love for Kong Ji serves the whole story, not the focus of the portrayal. And there should be a kind of love between Changsheng and Kong Ji, and the emotion of life and death and mutual dependence is also very beautiful.
It should be said that this is a tragedy, a tragedy with bright pictures and an atmosphere that is not depressing. It's a well told story and a good movie. Because there is a king in the story, I can't help but think of a blockbuster film made by a domestic director with a king begging for mercy on the roof. In comparison, Koreans' storytelling ability is really worth learning from domestic big-name directors.
