SINOPSIS :

Set during the seizure of the throne by Sejo of Joseon in the year 1455, the movie follows the life of Nae Kyung.

Nae Kyung (Song Kang Ho) hails from a ruined noble family. He travels around Joseon and studies physiognomy. He is able to asses a person’s personality, mental state, habits and, consequently, their future, by just studying their face. He lives in seclusion with his son Jin Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk) and brother in law Paeng Hun (Cho Jung Seok). Nae Kyung hopes to one day become a public officer, even though it is virtually impossible due to his family’s failed background.

One afternoon, an attractive Gisaeng named Yeon Hong (Kim Hye Soo) visits Nae Kyung’s home. She runs a food and alcohol establishment in Hanyang (old name for Seoul). Yeon Hong asks Nae Kyung to go with her tthere, because he can make a lot of money. Nae Kyung and Paeung Hun decide to follow her advice and go together to Hanyang. There, through Yeon Hong’s deceit, Nae Kyung begins to work as physiognomist at her establishment. His amazing talents quickly spread throughout the area and business booms for Yeon Hong. Nae Kyung then happens to solve a murder case by observing the victim’s husband. Kim Jong Seo (Baek Yoon Sik), the second most powerful man in the country, hears of Nae Kyung’s abilities and orders him to the palace. He is assigned to hire public officers by using his face reading abilities.

After King Munjong dies, a young crown prince takes the throne, but the young king’s fate is imminent danger. Prince Sooyang (Lee Jung Jae) has ambitions to become the King and has a plan to make it happen. Meanwhile, Nae Kyung is positive that Prince Sooyang is going to plot treason against the new king.
