Hometown Legends Episode 5 Reactions
Our protagonist (played by Jae Hee) is apparently alone in the world, and wanders from place to place sending ghosts away with his magic sword. (The source of that sword's power is explained in the synopsis, but isn't actually explained in the story until almost the end, which made me keep wondering if I had missed the part where they explained that. Nope, I didn't.) He stumbles upon both a girl that looks just like his former lover and a village desperately in need of an exorcism. Convenient!
This episode is more of a horror episode than some others have been so far. There are ghosts galore, and some somewhat creepy moments. In addition, the event that caused the mass haunting is pretty much awful and a bit disturbing all on its own. The acting is fine, and the writing and directing are good enough. The special effects were bordering on the cheesy for this one though. On a personal note, I was amused to notice that the actors who played both the main girl and her father are both in one of my favorite dramas, Once Upon a Time in Saengchori.
Ultimately, this episode is not all that compelling, but I don't regret watching it.
