Golden Mask Hyung-rae and the Mischievous Taoist Master

Gaksital Hyung-rae and the Dokkaebi is a Shim Hyung-rae children's fantasy comedy that parodies Gaksital (각시탈), the classic Korean masked hero from the manhwa series by Huh Young-man. The film reimagines Shim Hyung-rae as the legendary masked vigilante, mixing martial arts, comedy, fantasy, and Korean goblin folklore.

A bumbling but good-hearted hero, Hyung-rae, becomes entangled in a conspiracy involving foreign agents, corrupt officials, and rival martial artists during Korea’s historical era. After coming across an injured warrior who warns of Japanese spies, Hyung-rae finds himself caught between competing factions seeking power. As assassins, warriors, and schemers collide, Hyung-rae and his companions stumble through a series of comedic misadventures, ultimately becoming unlikely heroes in a chaotic battle of loyalty, deception, and martial arts spectacle.

Sol-i and Song-i head to Hanyang with the blueprint for a cannon invented by their father. On the way, they meet Japanese pirates and get captured, but Baek Du-geon appears and defeats the pirates and saves Sol-i and Song-i. Sol-i and Song-i arrive in Hanyang and hand over the blueprint to Hong Cham-pan, and Baek Du-gun and the three insect musketeers cause a commotion. Hong Cham-pan, who was handed the blueprint, works with the snake demon and tries to sell the blueprint to a Japanese spy (Miyamoto). Based on the popular segment 'Drumbeat from the Border' from KBS's Humor No. 1 at the time.

Hyung-rae plays a byeoldang (‘Byeoldang’ refers to a detached residence in a noble household, and by extension to an idle, freeloading young nobleman attached to it. Basically a useless aristocratic hanger-on.) who becomes entangled in a supernatural adventure involving a powerful dragon pearl, a flying “messenger from hell,” and martial arts battles blending folklore and slapstick humor.
