AndyEsti May 31 2021 10:16 am All praises for His Royal Highness Ju Ji Hoon!! You are always fit to be a crowned prince turned king! Ilysm. You are my OG Oppa ??

Mangd Jan 11 2021 8:27 pm wutT, another Crowned Clown and Masquerade plot??? I'm All In!!!

Kim Na Na Apr 11 2020 1:06 pm So refreshing this drama! Love it!

Lola Mar 19 2019 1:48 am The best and most versatile actor for me. Perfectly handsome... just luv this guy!

Guiltypleasure Mar 14 2018 8:23 pm After watched masquerade, I watch this. Same story but different atmosphere hahahaha. If I must compare both of them, this one has light story but has more detail story about what happened if they (fake and ori prince) switched :) dynamic and entertaining.

     The masquerade one is more charismatic, each role has strong personalities, , and every scene so interesting/cool. 
     But both of them, I don't know, can't touch my heart deeply, the way they execute story can not impress me as much as when I watch "the throne"

Malditang Bugay Feb 12 2017 7:07 pm I wasn’t one hundred percent sure going into this movie. I just knew that if Joo Ji Hoon was in it, I was going to give it a shot. I really recommend this movie if you are looking forward to watching something light. The comedy in this movie won’t disappoint you.

Meena Feb 06 2016 5:18 pm Ju Ji hoon is a versatile actor he's the best

Sahra Feb 06 2016 5:17 pm Ju Ji hoon is the best outstanding handsome

a.s.r.a Nov 09 2014 5:27 am Excellent movie! The storyline, the script and the casting are amazing, plus it has a beautiful message. Happy ending and comedy included ;) 100% recommended.

Talking about the casting, this is one of the best Joo Ji Hoon's performances, he could play both characters perfect <3 The other actors are cool and funny too :D

gdik Jul 18 2012 10:23 pm without reading the synopsis nor seeing the trailer first, after seeing 2 characters for joo ji hoon, i had the feeling that this is similar to the prince and the pauper. i think the only difference is that this movie is hilarious.

Hope to see you soon in Tokyo.
