I am in two minds about this drama version. Having read the webtoon for a long time, it’s hard to not try being critical about minor things which are different such as the female lead’s crush in the beginning in the show , the emphasis upon cliches and the greater role of the father ( as he hasn’t been seen in the webtoon much). On the other hand, one thing which I am impressed by was the careful foreshadowing placed in episode one of the suicide of Suho and Seojun’s friend which dragged on for a long time in the webtoon. Moon Ga Young plays the female lead in slightly dorky , comical and sweet manner and fingers crossed the show will tackle Suho and Seojun’s characterisation with writing them off as plot devices.

So far this year, 2020 has brought some either real gems or stinkers. Uncanny Counter, is a nice diamond in the rough; a break from sugary sweet romances and returning back to the old supernatural themes with lots of actions on the side and interesting characters ( not least a wide range of ages). As usual, OCN has more than defied my expectations !
