Director: Kim Seong-sik
Actors: Gang Dong-won, Huh Joon-ho, Esom
PlotDr. Cheon is a renowned paranormal expert known for his unwavering skepticism about the supernatural, claiming that logic and science can debunk any ghostly encounter. He has built a reputation on exposing fraudulent practices and illusions dressed as supernatural phenomena. His fame leads him to a small, secluded village haunted by inexplicable occurrences, where his logical explanations meet their ultimate test. Despite his doubts, Dr. Cheon is drawn to the case by increasingly strange incidents that defy his scientific understanding. Accompanying him is So-hee, a resourceful journalist with a deep interest in uncovering the truth behind local legends. As they delve into the mystery, they discover a hidden world where ancient talismans and curses are believed to hold real power.
During their investigation, Dr. Cheon's skepticism is challenged when they meet the reclusive village shaman, who warns of an impending doom linked to a lost talisman said to guard a dark secret. The shaman's warnings and the growing danger push Dr. Cheon and So-hee towards uncovering a truth entwined with history and myth. Tensions rise when the villagers’ fear turns into hostility, suspicious of the outsiders disrupting their fragile peace. As Dr. Cheon delves deeper, he encounters something beyond rationality, forcing him to confront the limits of his beliefs. Adversities mount as Dr. Cheon realizes that embracing the unknown might be the only way to unravel the mystery and prevent an impending crisis that threatens to engulf the village—and perhaps himself—in its wake.
