At the height of the 16th-century Chosun Dynasty, a pair of rural male actors - boisterous, macho Jang Seng and quiet, feminine Gong Gil - travels to Seoul and team up with a struggling acting troupe. When their irreverent show, complete with enough bawdy humor and gender-bending to make a contemporary audience blush, mocks the famously hedonistic king, they get more than they bargained for. After being promptly arrested, they're given a chance to spare themselves if they can make the king laugh. To everyone's surprise, the ecstatic monarch loves the show and names the actors official court jesters, giving them more extravagant food and shelter than they'd ever imagined. But the king's attentiveness to Gong Gil makes it quickly apparent that humour isn't the only thing motivating his generosity. The king's mistress, the country's ministers and Jang Seng soon grow suspicious, and jealousy and anger spring from all sides.

A very casually-dressed woman who even in her early 50s looks unbelievably young is preparing breakfast for her son, Dong Woo. Jin Sook suggests to Dong Woo that they go out for a drive. She unexpectedly finds out that her son has a nice girlfriend. Soo Jin dreams of having a wonderful life after her marriage but feels very uneasy about her mother-in-law's behaviour. Jin Sook wants to be a woman to her son and feels as if Soo Jin is merely a plaything for him. Jin Sook finds it impossible to stop her son's love for Soo Jin and becomes obsessed with jealousy. Then, one day, in the absence of Dong Woo, Jin Sook exposes her jealousy to Soo Jin with a tragic consequence.
