LEE Byung-hun plays both the king and the commoner and it's his first role in a historical drama since his debut. His queen, who loves her king despite realizing that he's a fake, is played by HAN Hyo-joo who showed great potential in . The movie is directed by CHOO Chang-min whose other works include and and the writer HWANG Jo-yeon co-wrote .
