📖 Synopsis: Yadang: The Snitch

Yadang: The Snitch tells the story of drug trafficking in South Korea, focusing on the character Lee Kang Soo (played by Kang Ha Neul), a key figure in the underground drug industry. Despite his involvement, he also serves as a covert informant, earning him the nickname “Yadang”.

He collaborates with Gu Kwan Hee (Yoo Hae Jin), a prosecutor driven by ambition and dreams of becoming a renowned lead prosecutor, and Oh Sang Jae (Park Hae Joon), the head detective of the narcotics investigation team.

Lee Kang Soo provides intelligence about a major drug trafficking operation that remains unknown to the public. Although Kang Soo, Kwan Hee, and Sang Jae are technically on the same mission, they harbor deep distrust for one another—especially Sang Jae, who is skeptical of Kang Soo’s motives and chooses to pursue the case using his own team and skills.

As they attempt to unravel the vast network of drug crime, the trio face countless obstacles, delivering a plotline filled with tension, action, and emotional complexity.
