you asked did i think gong gil and jang saeng had a sexual relationship, i’ll say yes. i choose to be generous towards the character jang saeng, because since gong gil could have sex with other men, why not with jang saeng too!
concerning how he loves her to such distractions, of having to endure being beaten and kicked and nearly had his foot smashed and finally to go blind. it would be too cruel if he didn’t have the pleasure of having of gong gil while others did.
from the onset of the movie, when jang saeng screamed at the captain of the troupe “stop pimping off of gong gil” is a good indication that that wasn’t the first time gong gil has been pimped off. when he saw the captain talking to that ugly old patron, he lost his mood to perform and drop from the rope on purpose, that showed that pimping off gong gil had happened b4. and this indicates gong gil isn’t a virgin, so i don't think their relationship is a platonic one.
Hi

I would like to differ from the above opinion...I think the relationship between Jang Saeng and Gong Gil is very subjective on how u look at it. When I first heard abt K & C, I thought it was something to do with homosexual relationship too. After watching it I find it was such a beautiful frienship between men. In the world that we live in now it's hard to find these kind of frienship. If you are a guy and close to another guy, then you are likely to be gay! This is how people look at it these days. What happen to the old fashioned frienship and loyalty?
In K&C from my understanding, Jang Saeng has known Gong Gil for along time. In fact it looks as though he has taken care of GG since he was young. He has been like a brother and a father to GG. I think that's why he felt responsible and protective towards GG. I'm sure they don't have any sexual relationship.
I also think that GG is still a virgin, that's why JS fought so hard not to let the captain pimped him. It was like a father fought for the virtue of a daughter. He felt responsible for GG. And when GG was with the man he did cry desperately "Pls help me". If he has gone tru it I'm sure he won't be so scared. And although the King was mesmerized by GG's beauty, I think their relationship didn't go beyond the kiss. Remember JS asked if the king did somethingsexual to him and he answered, nothing of that kind, that the were only playing puppet. I think the king was lonely and he felt comfortable talking and listening to GG.
Well, it is still a matter of opinion.

But while watching it this is how I understand

and ....boy!!!!LJK sure does look pretty especially when he was playing the puppet to the king...and oh...his SMILE...my heart almost jumps out of my chest...and my jaw almost drop to my knee

really not fair... how come a man can be so beautiful
