About this Event

For 30 years, royal tailor Jo Dol-seok (Han Suk-kyu) has dedicated his life to crafting garments for the Joseon court. Just months away from finally earning noble status, his world is turned upside down when gifted young designer Lee Gong-jin (Go Soo) enters the scene and captures the attention of the King (Yoo Yeon-seok) and Queen (Park Shin-hye). It's an epic royal fashion rivalry!

Director Lee Won-suk's lush and fabulous historical epic The Royal Tailor (2014) earned widespread acclaim for its celebration of traditional culture and modern aesthetics while also combining romance, comedy, and drama in a quintessentially Korean film package.

Free with an RSVP! Complimentary snacks. In Korean with English subtitles. 127 Minutes.

줄거리: 30년 동안 왕실의 옷을 지어온 상의원의 어침장 조돌석(한석규)은 이제 6개월만 채우면 곧 양반이 된다. 어느 날 왕의 면복을 손보던 왕비(박신혜)와 그녀의 시종들은 실수로 면복을 불태우게 된다. 궐 밖에서 옷 잘 짓기로 소문난 이공진(고수)은 급하게 옷 짓는 사람이 필요했던 왕비의 청으로 입궐하여 하루 만에 완벽하게 왕의 옷을 지어 올린다. 돌석은 처음에는 기생들의 옷이나 만드는 천한 사내라고 생각하며 공진을 무시하나 자신을 곧잘 따르는 공진에게 점차 마음을 열게 되고, 그의 천재성에 묘한 질투심도 느낀다. 왕(유연석)과 왕비를 사로잡은 공진의 옷들은 조선 전체의 유행을 일으키는 한 편, 청나라 사신을 위한 대형 진연을 앞두고 모두들 자신의 운명을 바꿀 최고의 옷을 만들기 시작하는데…
