The uncanny counter
I was not sure if I should watch it or not and I am totally happy that I did. There is comedy, action, sad scenes and fantasy - you can really find everything in this drama. Cho Byeong Kyu did great job, Kim Sejeong is amazing and her song for this drama is a masterpiece, in general cast was really good. I love how they have curly hairs. It could even have 20 episodes and I would be happy.Was this review helpful to you?
It's Just A Masterpiece.
The overall script is perfect . The way the story line carry from start to the end is just AMAZING.!!!!!And the Acting of all actors and actress is perfect.
Especially , Jo Byung Kyoo who played as soo mo , his acting is really skillful.
I become a fan of him from now on..
If you like fantasy , superpowers and investigation, just try this drama. It's amazing!!!!
At first, I didn't expect anyting from this. But after I just finished Episode 1, I attached to it. This drama makes me excited just from the start. And I really love the friendship between Soo Mo and his childhood friends.
And I also love the bond between soo mo and counters.
It makes me feel warm.
Some scene , it makes me emotional and cry with the actors. I want to say the actors did really great job.
I get the emotions they sent. I really enjoy this.
I want to say that agian. This Drama is a Masterpiece.

Must watch. Its amazing
Am English and I dont normal watch shows with subtitles but coming across the trailer to this epic kdrama was mind blowing. From the first to the last episode it grips you and keeps you amazed and hooked the whole way through, not only with an amazing storyline and music but the cast was perfect. I've honestly watch it so many times and would happily go back to the beginning and watch it all over againWas this review helpful to you?

Review of “ The Uncanny counter “
STORYLINE:- I honestly realllly enjoyed the whole concept of this series, now is there still some unanswered questions?? I would say yes. Like for example Why and how did he basically become the portal btw yung and the human world?? Why him?? Now those questions could be answered in the next season but there are some plot holes that were started and never really... finished. Like why did the mayor kill that girl?? But besides the little nagging plot holes, the rest of the show was quite enjoyable. And also I don’t appreciate how they would throw in a character only to off him in the same episode
ACTING/ACTORS:
- Now this is the first drama I’ve seen jo byeong kyu in and honestly I’m impressed. He managed to get me attached to not only him but the people around him too. Nailed the crying scenes like a boss too.
- In fact this is the first time I’m seeing any of these actors and I’m genuinely impressed with their performances.
MUSIC:
- Honestly the ost slapped hard. It was so good that even when I wasn’t paying attention to the music when certain songs came on I would find myself subconsciously singing along.
~ Overall, this was a great, enjoyable drama and I can’t wait for season 2!!

Great action, funny and drama all in one
I didn’t expect that I would enjoy this show. I just clicked on it out of curiosity and was hooked from the first few minutes. Action packed scenes were great, the actors and their doubles were great. It was nice to see the doubles featured with the stars at the end of the show.It was funny in a not slap stick kind of way. The dialogue was witty and how the actors delivered it with their facial expressions was what made it funny. This group of five Counters was what you’d call team work. They were there of each other and loyal. Each character had their own issues but instead of being all sulky about it, they were there for each one and supported them through it. Even the two besties were great. It would be great to have friends like that.
It had its drama moments mixed in, but I think the show was well balanced. It just frustrated me that the evil sprits were super strong and it took everything from the Counters to defeat those but I guess we would have had a shorter drama if the evils were defeated too soon.
Nice wrap up to the story though. All in all a very good one.

100% RECOMMEND!!
Currently this show is in my top 3 favorite dramas!The casting was genuinely perfect for each character and i couldn’t stop watching since each episode left you with more questions that needed to be answered. With the episodes being an hour long, there was never a dull moment where I felt the need to skip through scenes. The ending did feel a little bit rushed ,but the show would have dragged if they did it any other way. The sound track was kind of loud in some scenes (where it distracted from the show) but imma just sum it up to me having ADHD. Overall this show made me feel many emotions (mostly sad) and I will eventually do it all again.Was this review helpful to you?

I'M ABSOLUTELY MARVELED
I genuinely love the idea of infusing modern fantasy with thriller elements. This series was seriously captivating, and I never felt bored throughout the entire season 1. Obviously, you have read the synopsis, and yes, this series is based on the idea of four characters called 'Counters' who hunt demons using their unique supernatural ability and banish evil spirits that possess humans tocommit murder.The core chemistry between the four leads, So Mun, Mo-tak, Ha-na, and Mae-ok, is the show's heartbeat. Their bond feels authentic and provides a necessary emotional anchor between fight scenes. The series introduces a unique afterlife hierarchy called 'Yung', where the counters' powers originate. It's a fresh take on the reaper/exorcist trope that avoids being overly cliché. Also, beyond the demons, the show tackles real-world horrors like school bullying, corporate corruption, and political greed. Watching the counters use their powers to take down 'human' monsters is often just as satisfying as the spirit-hunting. Moreover, for a TV production, the choreography and special effects are impressively polished. The red tracksuits have since become an iconic visual for the series.
Lastly, 'The Uncanny Counter S1 is a must-watch for viewers who love the supernatural team genre. It's a hero story with a lot of soul, focusing as much on healing trauma as it does on punching demons.

Uncannily Amazing
If you like Fantasy-Action with a young protagonist in a team based setting kicking a$$, then you would love this drama. It is somewhat similar to the anime Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer, minus the killings. The drama was unexpectedly good with a deep storyline (or maybe it is actually expected seeing it was adopted from a webtoon). As someone who hadn't read the webtoon, I don't know how it is compared to the webtoon, but as a drama it was amazing.The drama had everything a good drama should have. It had happy moments, sad moments, funny moments, serious moments, it had everything and they were properly balanced. The characters were well written with their own background stories as well as the villains. The cast looked great and did a great job in their respective roles. The protagonist had a lovable and funny character and the team mates were unique with their own charms. The OST was beautiful. The VFX was good too.
Overall I think it is a very worthy watch if you like action fantasy dramas and should give it a try for sure.

Fun, Sad, Friends, Family, Demon Hunters, Demon what else do you want, this may just have it
I had this on my list for a while I am a person that gets afraid easily watching demons and spooky stuff but I am so glad I finally watched this. From the cast, characters, and story line it was all so good. Even with having demons in it, they had a lot of humor that you may be a little scared but in the next scene you would be either smiling, or concerned for the characters that you are on a emotional little ride. I loved the cast and how they ended up being like a family to one another, I loved the friends in this, and I was definitely hoping that the bad guys, and demon's would get what they deserved and that the hero's of our story would win!Very Enjoyable drama if you want some action, fights, humor and enjoying a group of people the really care for each other!

MY ABSOLUTE FAV DRAMA
Okay, I never gave any reviews before, but I have to give this story a one. This drama has everything I searched in the past few days. It has comedy, fantasy, mystery, emotional scenes and absolutely everything. I have fallen in love with each and every character. This made me cry and smile at the same time. I was rooting for Mun the whole series, like other counters, we have seen him grow in front of our eyes, the way I was proud of him. I would say one should watch it, like you be hooked from the every start. The only thing is hate I have to wait a month for the next season. Anyways it's a masterpiece made in Yung..Was this review helpful to you?

It's not perfect but it's worth it!!
As the heading says, this isn't a perfect drama by any means. There are a decent number of things to dislike about this drama but honestly, they make up for it through its wholesomeness and heartwarming moments. I'm very happy with how episode 16 turned out and the warm and fuzzy feelings are at an all time high right now. This was such a fun, wonderful, and heartwarming drama to watch. I was quite skeptical at the beginning, but I kept seeing such good things about this drama and wondered what this cheesy-looking drama can bring to the table. Lately, dramas that have been hyped up haven't been that good, in my opinion, so I really didn't expect much with this one. But I'm so glad I decided to watch it.If you're on the fence, and you're reading this, then this is your sign to just watch it!! Give it a shot, I was hooked on the first episode and I hope that happens for you too.
Maybe I'll come back to edit this with a more thorough review, but for now, its time to head to bed because I stayed up way too late to finish it. Bye for now!
