The Villainess
The Villainess (Korean: 악녀; RR: Angnyeo) is a 2017 South Korean action thriller film directed by Jung Byung-gil, starring Kim Ok-vin. The film had its world premiere at the 70th Cannes Film Festival in May 2017.
According to Jung, the movie was inspired by La Femme Nikita by Luc Besson, which he had seen at the age of 10. This is the third time stars Kim Ok-vin and Shin Ha-kyun have worked together, following Thirst from 2009 and The Front Line from 2011.
Sook-Hee, a 7-year-old girl, witnesses her father's death but does not get a look at the killer's face; she only hears a whistled tune. Jang-Chun, a former friend of her father's who was jealous of a stolen jewel that her father had acquired, is present during the murder and finds the hiding Sook-hee. He kidnaps her and eventually sells her to a child prostitution ring. She is about to be assaulted by a client when assassin Lee Joong-sang saves her. Joong-sang kills the client, and she kills a henchman in the door just before the latter can shoot Joong-sang. Joong-sang takes Sook-hee with him and trains her to be an assassin.
While getting older, Sook-Hee becomes more and more devoted to Joong-sang, and tells him that she is willing to let go of her revenge if he were to marry her. He hesitantly agrees. While on their honeymoon, he fakes saving gang member Choi Chun-Mo and stages his own death. Later, Sook-hee is shown a mangled corpse and told it to be Joong-sang's. She goes on a rampage, taking out the gang Choi Chun-Mo says to have been his target, so her husband's murderers.
Cops eventually surround her. Impressed, South Korea's intelligence agency selects her for recruitment as an asset. They provide her with plastic surgery, fake her death, assign her the new identity of Yeon-soo, and train her and other women in physical and social skills.
Yeon-soo soon learns that she is pregnant. The agency offers her and her child freedom if she is willing to work for them for ten years. She accepts and while in training gives birth to a daughter, Eun-hye. After exceeding her fellow trainees in combat skill, she is assigned her first assassination, in which she accidentally kills her target in front of his daughter. Yeon-soo is later given an apartment to share with Eun-hye. Unknown to Yeon-soo, Kwon-sook, the agency's chief, places agent Jung Hyun-soo in the apartment next door; he is to befriend Yeon-soo and keep tabs on her.
While on a mission with assassin Min-ju, Yeon-soo is caught stealing a phone. Min-ju is badly injured in the ensuing fight, and as punishment for her lackluster performance, Kwon-sook refuses to drive her to an emergency room, letting Min-Ju bleed out in the car. The stolen data contains documents about Choi Chun-Mo. Yeon-soo and Hyun-soo eventually decide to get married; Yeon-soo argues to Kwon-sook that this is to make sure that Eun-hye will not be alone if she were to die. During the ceremony, Kwon-sook calls Yeon-soo, giving her her next target, a man across the street from the venue. Aiming her rifle out a window, Yeon-soo recognizes her target as Joong-sang and, shocked, misses her shot.
Joong-sang eventually identifies Yeon-soo as Sook-hee. He confronts her in a restaurant, and they exchange threats. Later, Joong-sang sends Yeon-soo an audio file that reveals Hyun-soo to be an undercover agent.
