I wasn't highly looking forward to seeing this movie or anything. However like any movies that comes across my path, I decided to check it out. Watching this movie was like watching a mystical fairy tale that takes place in the Joseon Dynasty that revolves around a legendary face reader. The face reader is some made up guy that can know someone by just looking at the person's face, able to accurately predict what that person is capable of and what that person will do in the future. And what can bring fortune or negativity to them. Through about half the movie is about the face reader going through different stages. First working for some madame mistress to working for officials to track down criminals to working for the king. And it's really dragged out and boring. When it comes to the face reader trying to find the people who are trying to commit treason against the kingdom, is when things get kinda interesting. Despite the historical architecture in the Joseon Dynasty and the costumes and everything it just didn't seem to have what it takes to grasp the audiences attention. Lee Jong-suk is also in this but he pretty much is a useless character, except maybe near the very end. I give this movie a 6.5/10 since although it had a slow intro, the ending stood out to a degree.
