Face Reader (2013, 139min)
Nae-kyeong is the greatest face reader his kingdom has ever known, with the ability to see through people simply by looking at their faces. After an alluring courtesan proposes an offer, he moves from the mountains and into city Hanyang, in order to read faces in the courtesan house. Nae-kyeong quickly becomes the go-to face reader and is appointed to the King’s Inspection Board. During one inspection, Nae-kyeong finds out about Prince Su-yang’s plan to overthrow the throne of his nephew, but rather than telling the truth, Nae-kyeong decides to change his country’s destiny by changing what’s written on Su-yang’s face.
