Hyung-rae's Joseon Fantasy Collection
A series of loose Korean historical/fantasy parodies starring Shim Hyung-rae, always playing a character named Hyung-rae bumbling through various scenarios throughout Korean Joseon era history.
Hyung-rae plays a byeoldang (‘Byeoldang’ refers to a detached residence in a noble household, and by extension to an idle, freeloading young nobleman attached to it. Basically a useless aristocratic hanger-on.) who becomes entangled in a supernatural adventure involving a powerful dragon pearl, a flying “messenger from hell,” and martial arts battles blending folklore and slapstick humor.
