The King's Face (왕의 얼굴)

You were trying to catch thieves who broke into the library?

Please give this to His Majesty.

You just caught a thief who broke into the library.

Lord Kim!

I also belong to Daedong Society.

I hope it's over with me.

I cannot do that.

I... have Lady Ga Hee in my heart.

How could you find my daughter...

I'm fine now.

Ga Hee...

I thought you had forgotten about me.

Forgive me.

I'm very sorry that I didn't recognize you.

My wish came true...

so now I think I can live as a man for the rest of my life.

I have a lot to tell you. Just wait for me a little while.

No matter what happens, I will make sure to protect you.

Sire!

Are you really going to do this?

Step aside.

I can't do that!

How dare you... go against your master's order!

I've only served you all my life.

I know what your every little move means!

You're about to jump into a fire to save everyone else!

Move.

Sire!

So, what is it that you have to report to me?

Please spare Imhae.

It's not for me to decide if he's guilty or not.

- Leave now. - Father!

Please stop this cruel interrogation.

If you move your mouth one more time you'll become just like Imhae.

The one that they were trying to establish as the king is not Imhae.

What?

Then who is it?

It is...

Your Majesty, Vice Premier is here.

Sire, I found evidence that Daedong Society plotted treason.

How does he have the astronomical chart?

The world under the sky doesn't have a master, so anyone can be the king.

Kim Doo Seo, Vice Minister of the Royal Advisory Council, is behind it.

What?

Lord Kim?

There is no time to linger around. Leave now!

What about you? Why are you just sending us away?

Ga Hee...

Yes, Father.

You accepted to live as a man, not because you believed in your fate

but your guilt towards your brother?

Right... don't let fate press down on you.

Don't be defeated.

Take off that guilt

and live as Kim Ga Hee now.

What's going on? Please tell me!

Are you... really involved in treason?

I only dreamed of an equal society.

Hurry up and leave with Ga Hee.

Hurry up!

Ga Hee! Ga Hee!

Ga Hee! Ga Hee! Hurry!

You are Jookdo's pupil.

My teacher... passed away from soldiers' swords.

Before it's too late, I'd like to gather

all the members of Daedong Society in the city.

Please help me.

It's already too late.

Soldiers will barge in any minute now.

Traitor Kim Doo Seo, come out and accept the royal command!

I have one favor to ask you.

Mother, run away now! Hurry!

How could I leave you behind and run away?

I can't do that.

- Ga Hee! - Mother!

Mother!

Let go of me! I have to go to my mother!

It's too late!

Lord Kim told me to help you.

What happened to my father?

He was taken by the soldiers.

My father wouldn't have a treacherous mind.

Something went wrong!

It's no use!

His astronomical chart has already become the proof of treason.

What... did you just say?

The writing hidden in the astronomical chart is the proof of this treason.

Someone... handed it over to the government.

Take your time and look carefully so that you won't have a trace of doubt.

Was it you... after all, sire?

How could you do this to me?

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

Ga Hee!

What was hidden in the astronomical chart...

that it became the proof of treason?

'The world where the people are the masters.'

'The most feared existence under the sky is... the people.'

That's what's written.

Then... did my father... really plot treason?

Daedong Society never plotted any treason.

It's all slander by the government.

Where are you going? Soldiers are everywhere.

I won't forget your kindness today.

Stop.

To meet with His Majesty, change into this.

I have not... said that I'd become the king's concubine yet.

I don't trust people's words.

I only... trust the faces.

Promise me first.

You will definitely spare my parents.

I promise you.

I wished earnestly...

that I'd be able to wear a pretty dress like this for you someday.

I will not forgive you, sire.

Father...

Ga... Ga Hee!

Yes... this is Ga Hee, Father.

How come you're here, wearing such a dress?

It's all because of me.

I'm going to save you...

so please hang in there for a little longer.

It's already been dozens of people today.

At this rate, the seed of the Easterners will dry up!

Songkang...

- We need to get rid of him. - But how?

He's already favored by His Majesty.

On the day that the mayor was tortured...

My lord, it's me.

Come in.

I finally found the officer who interrogated the mayor.

Songkang... His power on the back of the king is over now.

It is truly a great face.

The raised forehead, the eyes of a phoenix

and the soft, supportive cheekbones.

It is the face that complements His Majesty's face

and brings Heaven's luck.

But... this face... will serve two dragons.

Which family do you come from?

What's important is the face. Is the family of any importance?

Lord Kim Doo Seo, former Vice Minister of the Royal Advisory Council, is my father.

Lady Ga Hee?

Are you out of your mind? What timing...

How can you bring a daughter of a criminal?

It is the face of a woman

that His Majesty has been looking for for a long time.

It will be hard to find another face like that.

If he takes her in as a concubine

the officials will rise like bees.

It could leave a blemish on His Majesty's reign.

She has a precious face that will more than cover the blemish.

Please leave it to me, Eunuch Song.

Sire! Sire!

Sire! We have a big problem!

There is a woman in the palace...

And she will become a new concubine of His Majesty...

- It's Lady Ga Hee. - What?

I heard it for sure.

The one brought in as a new concubine of His Majesty is

the daughter of Vice Minister of the Advisory Council!

What on earth... are you saying?

Lady Ga Hee is about to become the new concubine of His Majesty!

Did you just say you finally found that woman?

Yes, she has a precious face that complements your face

and will increase the fortune of this country.

Where is she now?

Forgive us. We were ordered not to let anyone in here.

Step aside right now.

Since when were the words of a face reader

more important than those of a prince?

Step aside right now.

Your Highness, please spare us. We'll be in big trouble, sire.

Sire!

Ga Hee.

How come... you are here?

This has nothing to do with you.

What...

What do you mean?

I heard that you handed over the astronomical chart to His Majesty.

I was foolish. I trusted your wind-like promise.

Ga Hee...

Do you think I only gave you the astronomical chart?

I also gave you my whole heart!

At the bookstore in the market a year ago...

I happened to see you by chance.

Since that day, to see you again...

rain or snow, I ran to the bookstore every day and waited for you.

Maybe every two weeks when I saw you...

I lived with the happiness of seeing you for the next two weeks.

For the sin of giving you my heart...

I committed a horrible sin of condemning my own parents to death.

Are you satisfied now?

Gaining what you want by using the foolish heart of a woman

and successfully catching traitors. Were you proud of yourself?

Ga Hee...

I will hear any harsh words from you.
