There are five reasons of ‘King And The Clows’s success.
First, the movie had actors who were good at acting. The main actors were four. They all suited with their cast. Second, there were good cenario. It was from play ‘Yi’. It already succeed before the movie release. Generally, play has better cenario than movie. Third, there were various something to see in the movie. It was kinds of historical play. So we can see part of ‘Cho-sun’s culture, And the main actors are clowns in the movie, so we can also see many farces. Fourth, production was stabile. Almost scenes in the movie were good.(for exemple, angles, color, background….etc.) And the background musics suited with the movie. Last, screen quater system helped the success. Screen quater pretect Korean movie against foreign movie. It also can be part of the reason.
