Feng Shui

In the 17th century, during the reign of King Injo of the Joseon Dynasty, a skilled and renowned geomancer named Park Jae-sang (played by Lee Byung-hun) rose through the ranks to become a respected and sought-after expert in the field of feng shui. As a royal geomancer, he was tasked with helping people select the most auspicious locations for their homes, stores, and even graves, based on the ancient principles of geomancy. Park Jae-sang's work was driven by the deeply held belief that a grave's location held significant influence over the future fortunes of a family. According to the geomancy principles, a grave placed in a favorable location could bring prosperity, good health, and even power to the descendants for generations to come. Conversely, a grave placed in an inauspicious location could lead to misfortune, illness, and even disaster for the family. However, Park Jae-sang's expertise and outspoken nature soon landed him in trouble. When he refused to compromise on the location of a royal family member's grave, he inadvertently exposed a deep-seated conspiracy involving one of the crown princes. Unbeknownst to Park Jae-sang, the crown prince was actually a descendant of a powerful and influential family that had been hiding a dark secret for centuries. One fateful night, while Park Jae-sang was out, his family was brutally murdered – a chilling reminder that in the treacherous world of 17th-century Joseon politics, speaking truth to power was a luxury no one could afford. The brutal killing of his family left Park Jae-sang with a deep-seated sense of revenge and a burning desire to bring the perpetrators to justice. Consumed by grief and anger, Park Jae-sang embarked on a perilous quest to unravel the web of deceit that led to his family's demise. He scoured the streets of Seoul, gathering fragments of information from rumors and whispers. His investigation led him to a stunning revelation: there was a much larger conspiracy at play, one that reached the very highest echelons of power in the Joseon court. It turned out that a specific propitious grave site was being manipulated to ensure the ascension of a particular family's child to the throne of Joseon. By carefully selecting the location of the grave, Park Jae-sang discovered, the royal geomancer could subtly but significantly influence the destiny of the future king, paving the way for the ascension of the chosen family's child. Park Jae-sang realized that his expertise had inadvertently become a tool for manipulating the succession of the Joseon throne. The killing of his family was merely a warning, a warning to keep silent about the truth. Horrified by the implications, Park Jae-sang knew he had to act swiftly to prevent the manipulation of the propitious grave site and the rise of the wrong child to the throne. As Park Jae-sang delved deeper into the conspiracy, he encountered a diverse cast of characters, each with their own motivations and allegiances. From the cunning eunuchs of the palace to the charismatic merchants of the streets, Park Jae-sang's journey took him on a perilous path of twists and turns. With each step, he risked losing everything: his freedom, his reputation, and even his life. In the heart of the Joseon court, a high-stakes game of cat and mouse unfolded. Park Jae-sang found himself in a desperate battle to expose the truth, while the conspirators would stop at nothing to silence him and maintain their grip on power. As the stakes continued to rise, Park Jae-san found himself torn between his duty to the crown and his responsibility to the truth. Ultimately, the fate of Park Jae-sang, the fate of his family, and the very future of Joseon hung in the balance. In this gripping tale of power, deception, and the pursuit of justice, one man's quest for revenge became a battle for the very fabric of the kingdom.
