The King and the Clown: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

 

* [[Even the Guys Want Him|All The Guys Want Him]]

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Most of Gong-gil's performance outfits feature this prominently

* [[It Gets Worse]]: Jaeng-sang proposes at the start of the film that he and Gong-gil either run away or kill themselves. The latter may have been a better idea.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Despite being [[The Hero]], Jaeng-sang gets these moments halfway through in his treatment of Gong-gil, for whom he hithertofore was [[The Champion]]. This is presumably from misunderstanding that Gong-gil is in a very precarious position by this time and cannot leave the King no matter how much he may want to. Some of it may be a verbal approach to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]].

* [[Love Ruins the Realm]]: The ministers view the King's dalliance with Gong-gil as this.

* [[Man Child]]: The king, and in this case it's not endearing so much as tragic and terrifying.

* [[Period Piece]]

* [[Please Don't Leave Me]]: Poor Gong-gil can neither get away from court nor convince Jaeng-sang to stay with him.

* [[Red String of Fate]]

* [[Taking the Heat]]: When Nok-su frames Gong-gil for defamation Jaeng-sang steps in.
