Yeo Jin-gu versus Yeo Jin-gu in The Crowned Clown

by mary

tvN’s upcoming The Man Who Became King has released new teasers featuring its lead actor, Yeo Jin-gu.

The story is a remake of the film, Masquerade (also known as Gwanghae, the Man Who Became King) which broke Korean box office records when it was released back in 2012. The drama will similarly center around two men: King Yi Heon and a clown named Ha-sun who happen to look exactly the same as the king. Ha-sun is initially used as a pawn, secretly disguised as the king to be his decoy, in order for the true king to conceal himself from his enemies. However, tensions arise as the story starts to question who really should be sitting on the throne.

The three teasers use similar shots, but are edited differently to tell the story from slightly different perspectives.
