Don't expect a pure comedy ...

The drama set in a Joseon era features King Sejo, who has taken over by killing off his nephew and all of his opposition. Deok- ho and his jester-men are hired to lift the questionable king's reputation. I guess we're dealing with the first historical advertising office ?.The drama has a comedy tag. BUT it doesn't mean it's funny at that. I must admit the only scene that put smile on my face was the last one of the drama. The writer isn't lucking the imagination and a lot of scenes are visually impressive and that's the biggest strength of this drama.In conclusion: It's overall a good drama. An intriguing plot and solid acting make it worth watching. IT isn't a pure comedy that makes you laugh every single dialog. But... You might have a different opinion. LOL

A Bit of A Mixed Comedy/Drama Bag

Deok-ho leads a band of merry jesters around 1400s Japan, when they are approached by Han Myeong-ho, the right-hand man of the very unpopular and cruel King Sejo, the aim being to use the rumor-mills created by the jesters to portray the King as more benevolent than he is. Not happy with the job, but unable to refuse it, the band does its best at first - until events take over and their "loyalty" becomes a problem for them....This is a kinda strange, sort-of historically based story about an unpopular ruler, and honestly by the end I couldn't tell who was the bad guy, who was good. But the first half is quite comical, the second half is quite dramatic, and none of our favorite characters are dead at the end, which I think is the best one could hope for in this montage!
