About Yaksha: Ruthless Operations
An overseas black ops unit is sent on a dangerous mission by a ruthless commander nicknamed after a human devouring spirit. Jee Kang-in leads the team, relying on hard won experience and cold efficiency to keep the operation moving. The city is thick with spies, and every contact seems questionable from the start. In crowded markets, beneath rain slick streets, and inside shadowy hotel corridors, alliances shift as suspicions rise and loyalties fracture. Kang-in balances pressure from powerful backers with the need to protect his squad, while a web of informants and rival factions closes in from all sides. The pursuit is relentless, the pace stays taut, and each decision reshapes the risks the unit faces in the process overall.
Directed by Na Hyun and Ahn Sang-hoon, Yaksha: Ruthless Operations debuted in 2022 as a Korean action thriller. The film presents an original screenplay with a sharp tone that emphasizes lean plotting, brisk antagonism, and tactical confrontations between rival factions.

Reception centers on the film's brisk, no nonsense handling of espionage and action. Sul Kyung-gu delivers a controlled performance as Jee Kang-in while Park Hae-soo plays Han Ji-hoon with quiet resolve. Themes include loyalty under pressure, the moral cost of covert power, and the fragility of trust in this world.
Yaksha borrows its title from a mythic figure known for judgment and ruthlessness, signaling a stark portrayal of covert warfare without glamor. The film depicts a modern cityscape where operatives blend into crowded streets and glass towers, contrasting traditional honor with coldly efficient pursuit. It leaves viewers thinking about power.
