The Face Reader Page #2

Kim is Kim Jong-seo.

Yes.

But I can't tell because

I haven't seen their faces.

People say Lee looks like a wolf

and Kim resembles a tiger.

A wolf and a tiger.

Let me think.

Aha!

How would I know?

Stronger one will win.

It's time for the contract.

Contract?

I wouldn't know

even if I read...

Don't bore us with this stuff.

Yeah, don't make

the ladies wait!

It's time to read hearts.

Good gracious.

What a mess.

Hey, get up.

Rise and shine!

Who are you?

It's me.

You don't remember?

- Get ready for the clients!

- Clients?

Don't you remember

the contract?

Do you know how much

you drank?

'I agree to see clients

from sun rise to sun down...'

Had fun with the girls last night?

'...flogging?'

What's this?

Hey, this isn't fair.

You think you can

rip us off?

You are so wrong!

Hey, let go!

You little rat!

Let me go!

I'm sorry, sir.

Line up!

How long do we

have to do this?

This is good.

Making easy bucks!

It's so easy!

My wits are better

than face reading.

Come quickly.

You still have

twenty more to carry.

Can't believe this.

We shouldn't have

drunk that day.

I told you we

should stop!

'Reading hearts?', if I recall.

Oh my gosh!

That's does it!

- I've had it!

- Hey!

I told you to give up

your temper.

You can't live like

the old days.

Then you'll just sit here

and let them do this?

We can't undo the contract

even if you go beat them up.

You'll get flogged.

I told you your temper

will ruin you.

Nothing's solved

by foul temper.

Where are you going?

I've been observing for a few days

this room is quite suspicious.

It might be a room for

special clients.

To succeed, you need to

meet big shots.

You see?

Come in.

You two can wait here.

- Was I right?

- Yes.

Look at that flabby ass.

I told you to keep your

muscles tight at all times.

That's better!

I'm worried I look fat

because of my big breasts.

Take it down!

Do you want me to pop

them like a pig's bladder?

No thanks!

Let me see.

She's blocking again.

Looks like you'll bear a son.

Sir Jang nyeong from the

Inspection Board is here.

- Isn't he Kim Jong-seo's man?

- Yes.

There's been a murder case.

He wants you to find

the murderer.

How would I know that

just by looking at faces?

That's crazy.

Sir Jang nyeong!

It's an honor to serve you

at my humble place.

I'm sorry for visiting

you like this.

No problem.

Inspection Board official's

involved in this case.

It's quite urgent.

I heard you're very good.

That's right.

I've heard the gist of it

I know it's inconvenient

but I'm refraining from...

Sir Jang nyeong!

Who's this?

I'm Kim Nae-kyeong

her business partner.

Why were you in there?

Precious view in there.

'Private' readings, huh?

I want referrals.

Madame here told me

to assist you in your investigation, sir.

Is that so?

You knew I'd come!

These three were at the site.

But they won't admit

even after tortures.

I'm sure it's one of them.

The murder was

committed this morning.

You probably still

have the body.

I'd like to see it.

If you look at the

face of the victim

broad forehead and

high ear bones

meaning she's destined to

live a long life.

It's clearly a murder case.

Are you the husband?

Why did you kill your wife?

What?

My reading tells me you weren't

compatible with each other.

It must have been difficult.

Faces of weasel and chicken.

They can't hit it off together.

- Hey

- Yes, sir.

- Take him into custody.

- Yes, sir.

Meeting a right match is

more important than good face.

If it weren't for you, we could've

condemned an innocent man.

It's my pleasure to

help the innocent.

This is way more than

what we made before!

We gotta get out of here.

How do we trick

that vile woman?

Kim Nae-gyeong, are you the

best face reader in town?

Who are you?

Paeng-heon!

Is this him?

The man who found the

murderer by reading faces?

Yes, he's unbelievable.

What should we do?

He could be a problem.

Kill him.

You have to go.

- Take care of him.

- Yes, sir.

Let's go.

They dropped

something here.

What are you doing?

I was in a dust storm

in my dream.

And now I have real

sand in my mouth.

That's from the muddy well.

I had sandy mouth, too.

So the murderer I caught

was one of Su-yang's men?

That's why they

tried to kill us.

Correct.

If not for Kim Jong-seo's men

we'd be dead by now.

That's what I heard.

He could be a problem.

Kill him.

Let's leave.

What?

Money's not worth our lives.

- Where are you going?

- Gosh!

Sir Jang Nyeong.

I am a simple face reader

doing simple work

I think it best to stay out

of politics.

I'm sorry about that.

No need.

We'll be off then.

Before you go

there's someone

who wants to see you.

Why don't you come

say hello?

- Perhaps another time.

- Yes, later.

- There's no later.

- No, thank you.

He's a busy man.

We're fine!

That's weird.

Never seen anyone refuse

to see Lord Kim Jong-seo.

Did you say Lord Kim Jong-seo?

Indeed.

He was curious about you.

But since you're too busy...

Wait, wait!

It's part of our job

to get into trouble.

It's what happens when

we tell the truth.

It happens quite often.

- All the time.

- Every time.

Let's go.

Where is he?

Is he the one who caught the

murderer by reading faces?

His name is

Kim Nae-kyeong.

Bold.

Stubborn.

Principled.

He's exactly as they say.

What a remarkable face!

A face of a tiger.

Why are you staring at me?

Do I have a good face?

Yes.

You've got a distinguished face

as people say.

Do they say

I look like a tiger?

Yes.

You're brave and strong

like a tiger.

You're a tiger.

A tiger himself.

He asked you to hire people

at the Inspection Board?

Yes.

So you're an official now?

It's not really a job since

I'm just there to give advice.

But it's pretty important work.

You're an official!

Don't laugh!

People will talk.

Act calm.

One has to be modest.

Civil service, here.

Military service, there.

Human face is the embodiment

of nature and its order.

Head shall be round

like the sky.

Eyes shall shine like the sun

and the moon.

Mouth is the sea

philtrum is the river.

It should be

long and impressive.

Nose, cheekbones, and chin

shall be high like mountains.

Hair must be fine and abundant

like trees and grass.

If you take these into account

you won't make

huge mistakes.

This candidate is handsome

and is from a good family.

I'd like to hire him.

How many times do

I have to tell you?

Scribes need to record

all the time.

It's not good to change

scribes often.

But this one likes to drink.

He might develop

dementia later.

Also, he's unstable and

likes to change jobs often.

Are you the

candidate's cousin?

Does he like to drink?

Yes, he drinks like a fish

and then some.

You should hire him

as a wine taster.

Who's that?

Why do you ask?

- He looks...

- What?

Rotten, completely.

52 bags of whole grain.

43 bags of refined grain.

34 rolls of silk

and 40 ounces of silver.

He gathered all these illegally?
