"One life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four cultivation yin virtues, five readings."
Six seven phases and eight gods, nine noble people and ten health"
This numerology theory has always occupied a place in the circulation of Chinese culture for thousands of years, not only in China, those who have been influenced by Chinese culture basically have similar cultures, but few people have presented him to the big screen, so koreans who dare to shoot people dare not shoot, and "Guan Xiang" was born. And starring South Korea's first acting god Song Kanghao, the name Song Kanghao in South Korea represents quality and box office. So even if the name of this movie is not very attractive, because the three words "Song Kanghao" are still attractive to watch, and they are not received.

As a numerology-themed film, it is natural to be related to the theme of "fate", Kim Nai-kyung (Song Kang-ho), as a reader, has a talent that ordinary people can't reach - looking at the picture, and can know people's misfortunes and blessings through people's faces, and know people's future.
At the scene of a fortuitous investigation, Jin Naijing used his visual skills to help find out the truth, and the fate of an originally discouraged reader began to change. However, when the blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, and the art of looking at the picture used by Jin Naijing began to rise step by step, the great calamities of his life also arose.

At that time, the imperial court had two powerful ministers, Lord Shouyang, and Jin Zongrui, the head of the Wenchen, because Jin Wasjing's fame in the art of guanxiang was far and wide, and the wenchen Jin Zongrui took the initiative to come to the door and ask him to help meet to find talents, but in this move, there was a huge conspiracy hidden, as a loyal vassal of the imperial court to assist Shengshang, but he had always been jealous of Lord Shouyang and wanted to get rid of it quickly, Jin Naijing, as an unsuspecting person, inadvertently fell into the court battle.
As the younger brother of Emperor Wenzong, Lord Shouyang possessed monstrous power and had always been eyeing the throne, saying in the words of Wen Chen, "It is possible to step on the corpses of others for the sake of the throne."

With the art of guan xiang and The Wenchen jointly wrestling with Lord Shouyang, everything was arranged, but at the critical moment, he was betrayed by his brother-in-law, and all the achievements were successful, but when Jin Naijing questioned the brother-in-law, he had no desire to cry or cry when he saw the brother-in-law's throat knot, because he had already given the brother-in-law Guan Xiang a judgment that the bulging throat knot would be the bump of his fate, everything was fate, but everything was constantly verified.
Just unwilling to accept that he knows the fate, but there is no way to change, and this situation will accompany him for the rest of his life, he originally studied numerology just to know his life, but never thought that it would change his life, and then cruelly let him watch all cruel things happen in front of him.
Learning numerology was also part of his destiny, he did not see through this, but had to recognize clearly in the cruel facts again and again, Lord Shouyang eventually seized the throne, and all the enemies he had once died under his butcher's knife.
And the brother-in-law who seems to have become a betrayer, his starting point has never been for himself, he is only for his nephew and his brother-in-law to continue to realize their dreams, to continue to be in the official arena. However, the fate number has been determined, and no human being can do it, and under the rolling forward historical trend, the so-called numerology of the individual will eventually fail to defeat the general trend of the times.
Those who are like Jin Naijing know the facts, but they also have to face the facts, and in the end they are only a spectator in the fate, and nothing can be changed, but the knowledge of fate cannot be changed into the source of suffering.
