With solid acting skills and perfect character portrayal, actor Kim Mu-yeol plays the role of the killer "Jo Gak" (Lee Hye-young)'s mentor and the founder "Ryu" of "Sinseong Pest Control."
"The Old Woman with the Knife" (directed by Min Gyu-dong, produced by Supfilm, distributed by NEW) is an action drama that depicts the intense rivalry between the legendary killer "Jo Gak," who has worked for over 40 years in an organization that handles cockroach-like humans, and the mysterious killer "Tu Woo," who has chased him his whole life.
Kim Mu-yeol has established himself as a leading actor in South Korea, showcasing delicate acting across various genres in films like "Crime City 4," "Classified," "Honest Candidate 2," the drama "Queen Woo," and the OTT series "No Way Out: The Roulette," and "Sweet Home Season 3," and "Sweet Home Season 2."

"Ryu" is a character who saved the young "Jo Gak," known as "Son Toh" (Shin Si A), who was dying on the street, recognized her talent, and taught her about pest control. "Ryu" instills the belief in "Jo Gak" that what must be protected should not be created, serving as the backbone of her over 40 years as a killer.
Director Min Gyu-dong noted, "Ryu is the person who invites 'Jo Gak' into a terrifying world. At the same time, because he is the one who teaches 'Jo Gak' what life means and what is useful, he is also the one who supports 'Jo Gak' throughout her life," anticipating the strong presence of 'Ryu,' who gave birth to the killer 'Jo Gak.'
