I wish I had dropped it weeks ago, but I'm still invested in one of the mysteries. Thank goodness Uncanny Counter 2 is now on Saturday/Sunday!

Entertaining. Bad guys (girls) got what was coming to them. Romance was. . .actually meaningful, but very few scenes.

Favorite scene was when Seo Ah Ri and Han Joon Kyung were in his car - I suppose it was CGI enhanced, but it was fascinating - their conversation, the unspoken communication and the colors. Probably CGI, but have re-watched a couple of times.

Don't plan to re-watch entire drama, but certain scenes were enjoyable

This is a tvN production, licensed to Netflix. Most of the shows dropped all at once are Netflix originals.

Well, unless they change the timeline, Baby Real was conceived before their one year anniversary.. When she discovered she was pregnant, she was six weeks along. The next day, she realizes (phone? laptop?) that it is her 1 year anniversary with JH.

Article w/photos re: Episode 3:

'the Counters leave their noodle shop and move to a new base camp.. . . . .please look forward to the growth of Na Jeok Bong, whose abilities will be explored through the Counters’ hellish special training.”

"My problem is that we are trying to create reasons and explanations for bad character development. I don't want to legitimize the bad decisions made by the writing team by coming up with reasons that IO acts so badly out of character because some #@$#% writer suddenly decided to create drama and drive up ratings."

THIS. This. This. This.

In Ok's character description:

"A romantic who considers 'love' to be the highest virtue in life.. . . . .The woman, Lee In-ok, can put up with all kinds of humiliation for Chan-sik, but [the] mother, Lee In-ok, does not put up with it for Tae-kyung. "

Other character descriptions are still pretty much accurate, they even hint at Granny Evil's soft side.

I'm beginning to believe "brain tumor" or some other illness/disease.

Episode 3-4 Pre-release. Usually pre-release is only ~12 hours before the show airs. This one is~ 48+ hours ahead.

I couldn't remember the specifics, but I do remember that JH suite (for which she had a key!) was full of light, large windows, patio outside. TK's room was dark. Ever since this theory of one-night drunken near black-out night of sex appeared, I have said I will give the drama a One Star rating if they do it.

This truly is one of the best theories I have read, but. . . . .since I absolutely hate the idea that the viewer has been lied to from the very beginning in the promotional material, and I hate it when I am the victim of outright fraud, and also I really liked the concept of family being more than "blood". . . . . I went back and did a deep dive.

Episode 4, Mark 34 - Bong Nim holds up the jacket and all 4 buttons are there.

You were extraordinarily observant and creative and I admire that kind of detective work/speculation. I almost hated bursting the bubble. 😥😥😥

Ja Beok's personality in the drama is different from the webtoon. In the webtoon, he is guitar player who is overly confident of his ability to become the best Counter. In the drama, he is a sweet-natured country-bumpkin who is devoted to his father. Both have the ability to smell evil spirits. From tiny bits and pieces, I believe he will indeed become quite athletic - he's the Counter that is making the big leap in the early poster.

He was sml (triangle) in "Meow the Secret Boy" and "To Alll the Guys Who Loved Me".

Great actor, killer puppy-dog eyes and fortunately he will FINALLY be Male Lead (romantic) in the drama "King of Saju".

I thought Li See Woo would be paired with my favorite Seo Ji Hoon!? They are even in promo pics together. Both so charming in whatever drama they are in. Are you certain she's paired with the driver?? I guess I need to watch for myself - will finally be able to watch tonight and hopefully I am able to stay awake.

I think a big part of Season 2 will be the battle for Joo seok's soul - that's been a primary feature of the character promos and it's the webtoon. Although Season 1 of the drama was well-balanced among all of the team, the webtoon (both seasons) is overly focused on So Mun, But then, the only reason I'm even watching is because of In-soo, so provided I can avoid the cruel/vicious scenes, I'll be happy for whatever happens.

I'm with you - it was must-see for 1st few episodes. But life intervened to limit my drama watching ability and this was the first to "Pause". I'll watch eventually, but it will be on faster speed and heavy FF button for certain characters.

Wikipedia page has brief recaps of each episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Uncanny_Counter

"All depends on his and her wills I guess."

In Korea, one cannot disinherit heirs (spouse, children, etc). 50% of the estate must be reserved for legal heirs, but the individual can dictate (via legal will) who will receive all or a portion of the other half of the estate.

However, I assume that Father Gong and Granny will still be alive at the end of the drama, so may be irrelevant if Granny has no real wealth to pass onto her two children (and/or grandchildren).

Thanks for specific answer - and I guessed correctly - it was between Eps 11-20. I began to pay attention again when Joon Ha returned.

So Father Gong apparently inherited when his wife died - that would explain how he has the power to distribute (gift) shares of stock. And at some point, it was Father Jang who saved the company from bankruptcy. At one time, I wondered if Father Jang had stock in NX Group (from his loan), but if he did, he wouldn't need to rely on gifts/donations from Father Gong to keep the school going.

So, the moral of these minor facts is that the financial dealings of the parties have very little relevance to the overall current family dynamics or Strawberry's possible inheritance.

Well, BT, there IS a 4th option but I have foresworn that I will not intentionally trigger you.🤣🤣🤣

I'm so far behind now - am now looking forward (my speculation) to JH demanding SJ to help him with Baby (based on CYJ's IG post) - I will find it amusing but other heads will explode. I honestly regret ever starting this drama but will watch bits and pieces to the end.

Thanks for reply. I have a feeling it was during episodes 11-20 (or so) when I wasn't paying too much attention. Definitely not in Eps. 1-10 because I re-watched those and took careful notes. I do remember (somewhere in Eps. 21-30) that Ji Myeong said that her mother never loved or appreciated her the way In Ok cared about her. I will be interested if this is meaningful in the last episodes or simply throw-away lines that mean nothing.

Do you recall when that info was disclosed? I've been unsure how NX group came to be. If the business is from the Chairman's dead wife, then I'm surprised that Father Gong has much wealth or control.

Why does Granny think she is so high and mighty if her wealth wasn't built by her family? I would very much like to understand the dynamics if you remember when it was mentioned. Thanks in advance.
