The situation between the two Koreas is ripe for spy stories and yet, very little films on the subject happen to materialise. However, “The Prison” director Na Hyeon’s sophomore feature does just that, placing the action in China for the action adventure “Yaksha: Ruthless Operations”.
Synopsis
Kang-in leads a secret Nis operation team in Shenyang, China. His nickname is Yacha, which refers to a fierce ghost who harasses or kills people. Kang-in is cold-blooded man. He achieves his objectives by using any means necessary. Meanwhile, Ji-hoon is a prosecutor in the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office. He follows the law no matter what. He gets demoted to Shenyang, China. There, Ji-hoon comes up against Kang-in.
Leading the pack of spies is actor par excellence Sol Kyung-gu, who plays Kang-in. His team of spies include Yang Dong-geun (Feng Shui”), Lee El (“Intimate Strangers”), Song Jae-rim (“On Your Wedding Day”) and Jin Young.

The last time Kim Rae-won was seen in a romantic film was way back in 2003 with “My Little Bride”. For Gong Hyo-jin, though she reigns supreme on the genre on television, her last romantic outing in a film was in 2013 with “You are More than Beautiful”, having concentrated on building a completely opposite image of herself on-screen than the one she is loved for in television dramas. The project that finally makes the two stars return to the genre is director Kim Han-gyul’s debut film “The Most Ordinary Romance”.
