Deok-ho leads a band of merry jesters around 1400s Japan, when they are approached by Han Myeong-ho, the right-hand man of the very unpopular and cruel King Sejo, the aim being to use the rumor-mills created by the jesters to portray the King as more benevolent than he is. Not happy with the job, but unable to refuse it, the band does its best at first - until events take over and their "loyalty" becomes a problem for them....
This is a kinda strange, sort-of historically based story about an unpopular ruler, and honestly by the end I couldn't tell who was the bad guy, who was good. But the first half is quite comical, the second half is quite dramatic, and none of our favorite characters are dead at the end, which I think is the best one could hope for in this montage!

Plot summary
Deok-ho and his gang make ends meet by racketeering around the country. Han Myeong-hoe, King Sejo's right-hand man, thinks highly of their talents and encourages them to work for the country. Funded by the government, Deok-ho and his men use more theatrical and sophisticated devices to create incredible events, such as a pine tree lifting its branches by itself, sweet rain falling from heaven, and rainbows forming wherever King Sejo goes.

A Bit of A Mixed Comedy/Drama Bag
Great historic comedy
I got tickets to this at fantasia more on a whim and I know next to nothing about Korean history but this was a really fun movie.
One of the best comedy movies I have watched recently...
I think these reviewers become famous only when they give a negative criticism to a very good movie. To me Jesters The Game Changers was simply a visual treat, it is a must watch movie, really good especially those 5 lead characters were so coordinated throughout the whole movie. the movie was so interesting. I loved it. I recommend all of you to watch it. Really Great.
