Producers Of "The Face Reader" File Lawsuit Against "The King's Face" Drama

It's not unusual for films to inspire a drama version of the same story. But the makers of the hit film "The Face Reader" have filed an injunction against the producers of the drama "The King's Face" in Seoul District Court. Jupiter Films is requesting that production be halted on the KBS drama, citing a violation of copyright.

Kangho, the legal firm representing "The Face Reader," says that the drama plagiarizes the film's story.

The film tells the story of a face reader, a man who determines a person's character and future based on facial features, and how he changes the political future of King Suyang. The 2013 film starred Song Kang Ho, Lee Jung Jae and Lee Jong Suk. The award-winning film is one of the most-viewed Korean films of all time.
