Hit tvN drama series “The Crowned Clown” recently ended with great fanfare. As a remake of the movie “Masquerade,” which premiered in 2012, “The Crowned Clown” was a highly anticipated series by fans even before it aired on TV thanks to a star-laden cast featuring Yeo Jin-gu, Lee Se-young, and Kim Sang-kyung.
“The Crowned Clown,” which aired every Monday and Tuesday night, told the story of a King who brought “Haseon (played by Yeo Jin-gu),” a body-double who resembled the King more than an identical twin, into his palace to protect himself against enemies looking to end his life.
Of particular importance for Suwon was episode no. 6 on January 22 (Tue) - specifically the scene where Shin Chi-soo (played by Kwon Hae-hyo) and his son were humiliated. The Bongsudang Hall at Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung Temporary Palace was used as a filming site for that particular scene.
