The Uncanny Counter

경이로운 소문 ‧ Drama ‧ 2020 - 2021
Both are action oriented stories with a focus on friendship, loyalty and mastering the classical virtues (Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude, Justice). This mastery being expressed in martial prowess; allowing the main characters to transcend their psychological and social "prisons".
As for differences Fight is far more subdued; it takes longer to tease out it's themes; the supernatural isn't explicitly expressed; and humor more subdued. In the same vein vice and virtue in the characters is expressed in a more subdued manner in fight.

the bully in SB is also the bad guy in UC - Jung Won Chang
same trope where both the MC is being bullied then suddenly got stronger only difference is Uncanny Counter focuses more on killing the evil spirit and not as being bullied unlike Shark the Beginning both are great tho

Haw can you watch the second if not watch the first?
Hopefully it will be just as good as the first one or maybe even better than I am expecting!

Both island season 1 and the uncanny counter have that comic vibed demon hunters
Extravagant rather than scary, with flashy action and bad cgi
Recommended by XingBack
Similar in the sense that both male leads appear weak to everyone and go through hardships like bullying, but later becomes really strong and proves them all wrong (in the best most thrilling ways)!

Both are adapted from a webtoon.
The main character of the Uncanny Counter also plays as one of the main characters in Dokgo Rewind.
In both dramas, it's about fighting against bad guys.
There are multiple main characters that are capable of fighting.
In both, there is a gang of school bullies and fight scenes with our MCs fighting against them.
Including both dramas having an EPIC hallway fight in school.
Lots of action.

The Superhero feel we get from Do Bong Soon if you want more of that then go watch Uncanny Counter.
Do Bong Soon feels like the Origin story of a Superhero while Uncanny Counter feels like the Origin Story of a Group of Superheroes who recruit their new member(Our ML) after their leader's death because of the bad guy.

In this series you can see a group of people catching the ghosts with their supernatural power with the help of other world

Supernatural powers (seeing ghosts and other critters of the night), helping to save (some of) them, a bit of detective work, an interesting ragtag team... There's an underlying current of personal hurt & healing that brings it all together.
Recommended by ShortCircuit
