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.
