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.
