Review The film  "The Face Reader" (Gwansang)  is a brilliant piece of "faction" (fact + fiction) historical drama. It weaves the imaginative tale of a fictional face reader into the real-life historical events of the  Gyeyu Jeongnan  (the 1453 coup). Widely considered one of the masterpieces covering this era, it was a massive box-office hit in Korea and received rave reviews from both audiences and critics. In particular, the grand entrance of Grand Prince Suyang remains one of the most iconic scenes in Korean cinema history.
