The Uncanny Counter

I am thoroughly enjoying this series. Each episode unravels more and more of the characters with each of them having their own unique life and personality.

There are villains, rascals, goodies and baddies then wrap that up with a few evil spirits and a bit of magic - and I'm in. I would not normally watch something like this - and was initially interested in the comic style of the opener. I am glad I gave it a chance. I impatiently wait for the next episode on Netflix each week.

Great work by the writer Ji-na Yeo and the director Seon-Dong Yu. And of course the actors who do the script justice.

I got an imdb account just to leave a review for this to put it at a more deservable spot than 7.1 The show may try to push for waterworks one too many times, but the story is enjoyable and it has some good action mixed in as well. I've seen up to episode 6 at this point and so far, I would recommend it. There are too many trash shows out nowadays so gotta at least give kudos to the ones that are worth a watch.

In an imaginary Korean city murderers are taken over by evil spirits that then feed on the souls of those they murder. Luckily for the world there are a special group of people called counters who with their fighting abilities defeat the spirits releasing the trapped souls and bringing the human to justice. The counters in this city are an eclectic mix all with different special abilities to try to defeat the spirits. When web toons are brought to the screen I believe the stories are often less fluid but this flows really well and is very entertaining with good performances from the entire cast.

Season 2: I would give this a solid 8, usual dark forces need to be defeated by the counters and there are plenty of twists and turns along the way. Great acting by the cast and decent special effects but didn't quite have the spark of the first season.

The series is not bad overall but what makes it really special is Yeaom Hye-ran portrayal of the protective team leader. She's sweet and powerful and oddly believable as a seasoned demon Hunter with a heart of gold. I am glad I didn't miss this show.

At least as good as any demon hunter series from Hollywood. I'm not into K-pop, foreign movies, or any pop for that matter. This doesn't seem to fall into those categories. It may convert me. I'm willing to watch more movies in languages I don't understand just based on the outstanding experience with this series.
