When King Gwanghae collapses from a mysterious poison, Ha Seon reluctantly becomes a King. I don't speak Korean.
I don't usually like historical movies aside from WW2 movies, but this one is now my absolute favorite. The cinematography, sets, costumes, script, and everything was perfect. Die Hofdamen sprechen darüber, wie sehr sich der König verändert habe. It is so beautiful and entertaining from the beginning through the end. Auch Eunuch Jo ist erfreut über seine Gutherzigkeit. The script is well written with humor, depth and heart to engage the mind. Time: min.
Well this movie is not meant to be hidden! The music, the acting, the direction, the story and especially the cinematography fits in perfectly in the movie like a fully completed puzzle board and boy what a beautiful puzzle board it is. However, this very well may be the best that this story has ever been told. I have to say this was a great historical Korean movie. When the scenes switch between the impostor and the real king, you don't for a single second think "Oh it's the same guy".

It is a real story of an infamous tyrant king, but he was a good politician who helped restoring his country which had been ravaged by the war with Japan and also secured the country from the Qing Dynasty of China for a while through his practical diplomatic policies.
It might actually have taken away from this movie.

Byung Hun Lee has been a favorite for the longest and he never disappoints. It's a terrible script. This was an absolutely stunning film. A trademark infringement lawsuit against a rival company brings Elyse to Higgins Attorneys and Sons, where Rob Carelli (Christopher Russell), a young, too-nice-for-his-own-good lawyer, is bullied by his boss, firm founder Carter Higgins (Chris Gillett), and his two arrogant sons (Damon Runyan and Danny Smith).

Overall, 'Masquerade' is a serious making movie with great storyline and strong performances although the ending is not so extraordinary.
An earnest, culinary school hopeful, clashes with a big shot celebrity chef when she is assigned to ghostwrite his cookbook.
Heo Gyun finds Ha-sun, a lowly acrobat and bawdy joker who looks remarkably like the king, and just as feared, Gwang-hae is poisoned. 'Masquerade' is kind of movie that is hardly to find weakness from it. It might be this movie will have a first draw to people like me who doesn't like sageuk genre at all and start to appreciate the genre. 26 out of 30 found this helpful.

They tend to bore me to tears because sometimes I have no idea their background and I don't know South Korean history. 4 out of 5 found this helpful. Was this review helpful?
If that makes any sense.
