Masquerade

King Gwanghae (Lee Byung-hun) has been the King for the past 8 years. He now suspects that someone within the royal court is attempting to poison him. In response, King Gwanghae orders his councilor Heo Gyun to find someone that looks like him to sit in his throne. He finds his replacement in the form of a clown named Ha-sun (Lee Byung-hun), who performs lewd shows in front of drunken noblemen. Ha-Sun indeed strongly resembles King Gwanghae and is even able to imitate the way King Gwanghae speaks. But when Ha-sun takes the King`s seat at night, the King uses the opportunity to slip away to his mistress`s home. Slowly, Ha-sun`s own personality comes out and the people in the King`s inner court notice the changes. The King appears more humane to those around him and far less volatile. While Ha-sun`s true voice comes out, enemies within the King`s inner circle plan their next move.
