I so want to watch a drama similar to The Uncanny Counter but have not been able to find any:(I watched Tomorrow…
What did you like most about it? I think the movie Alienoid is the most similar to this drama. I don't remember it having comedy though. It's a fast-paced action/fantasy. If you are into the creepy mystery/fantasy element of the drama, I recommend the drama Missing: The Other Side, it is very emotional too.
Maybe this season feels more childish because the target group is underage people? Seeing that the highest average…
I think teens were always the target group even in the first season, but the previous season's writing appealed to older people too since it was well written, just like how it is with Harry Potter, a children's book that adults enjoy too so everyone can share the fun experience. This season will mostly be liked by its intended target which is a bummer for the show and everyone else.
This started interesting but after few episodes I got really bored and I had to fast forward. It would've been better as a mini drama with 4-8 episodes. The characters of Jennifer and the two friends of Yuchan are the only ones I liked. The rest of them were a bunch of adult children, and I get that the main female lead is supposed to act like a child in her thirties but I didn't expect everyone else to act like children too. Everyone was super nice, it was so annoying.
even if he still has the power, he can not use a power he does not recall. By erasing his memory of being a counter…
To answer your question. One can criticize something and still manage to find it at least watchable if not enjoyable. It's still a drama that I would give 6/10 at least. You cannot possibly expect everyone to like everything about a show or not watch it. Sharing what you like and don't like about a show is what this platform is for after all.
even if he still has the power, he can not use a power he does not recall. By erasing his memory of being a counter…
In "reality", it would've been muscle memory, or just plain "Oh! Why am I so strong?", since a memory can't change the past so the power would usually be still intact and his body will still be more powerful than normal people, like if Superman was to lose his memory, he will still be able to punch a hole in the wall, but he just can't remember why he can. Typically and based on how memory works, So Moon would return to his state just after the coma, only without memories of the coma itself and start to figure out why he has unexplainable power, but I guess the original writer wanted to use the cliche of amnesia as a tool to shake things up a little, but thought they shouldn't make it too obvious that it's the same old cliche so they seasoned it a bit. I get the idea that everything started in their brain so it can end in the brain though, and (most importantly) that it's a fantasy, just thought it was a bit unnecessary.
There are somethings that really bugs me in this season: 1. Villains jump to conclusions a lot, and for some reason they are right, but how can they state their conclusions like facts, I don't know. Maybe the writers arejust lazy or they think it is really a proper conclusion but it's annoying to me. Like when the female villain suddenly concluded that the new counter smells their scent when he just yelled "My nose!" when she sprayed him with gas. I mean you just sprayed him with gas, anyone would do the same, how is that evidence that he must (not might) have the power of smelling them. She also did the same when she read the memory of waking up from a coma, how was she so sure it must be when a counter becomes one, and that if you removed a mere memory you will lose your power? 2. Why is losing a mere memory makes you lose your powers? Your body functions without the need of your memories. What kind of plot tool is this? 3. The acting is so cheesy, it's embarrassing sometimes. I keep turning my face so I don't get second-hand embarrassment especially in the scenes where they are like "Nooooo!...Don't do it!...Noo!... No?". It's too long and everyone waits for the other to finish their parts. It's like a school play.
Ain't the main villain couple a hot and sexy pair!!? I'm waiting for their first kiss
Not in my opinion. But that will never happen on screen because it already did. It was implied that they were intimate in the first episode, and I don't think their billionth kiss would be suitable for a drama with 15+ ratings.
You know the stories wherein you feel so compassionate about the villain because of his back story and you understand…
My problem isn't his acting, but his back story itself. The way he and his wife handle situations is weird to me. Like his wife obsessing over money that they don't really need. It's not like they are poor and jobless, they live in an extremely nice house and they seemed very happy. I don't get why that money was still important after all these years of living happily. He also didn't have a great reaction to neither his wife pregnancy nor her being spit on by a stranger. I mean this should've had a bigger reaction than losing your life savings, instead we see a lame reaction. A stranger just spat on a member of your family, and you didn't think I should take his umbrella and beat him up with it? Even if he was a non-violent person, his face should've told me he was at least thinking it. I cannot relate to these two at all, and I don't feel sympathy for them. They had a great life that most people envy, but they wasted it because of money they don't need and they won't get by crying, whining and begging.
Fight scenes are daebak! I just realized, I think Lee Soo Hyuk would have been a better villain than Kang Ki Young.…
I agree. I can't take Kang Ki Young seriously. When I found out he was cast as villain, I thought they were going for a funny/crazy villain, someone like the Joker. I tried to take him seriously but I couldn't.
Was the first season this cheesy? I keep thinking maybe it was and I'm just not in the mood for cheesy now, that's why I don't like this as much. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a school play with all the cheesy acting.
I've watched a show called Kkondae intern and this show seems identical to it, like the storyline is the exact…
Not sure if you started this yet. I haven't seen Kkondae Intern but I believe it was about an old man suffering while doing petty tasks for younger people. If that's the case then this one is totally different. The intern will be technically working undercover, she will be manipulating everyone in the workplace to achieve some despicable results for the higherups.
What makes a quality drama? Popularity? Ratings? The writing? The actors? Its popular for reasons more than what…
Not really. Something could be popular for its bad quality, hence the term "infamous". Quality isn't subjective, how much you enjoy it is. We go to junk food restaurants all the time, everyone agrees it's of bad quality, but some people don't enjoy it, way more people do, it's of high popularity, and bad quality, same as this drama. Quality isn't measured by popularity, that's a fact.
It's cliché, I've seen this story more times than I'd like. Just attach your favorite idols to the cast list and you got a drama that is so popular it ranks high on Netflix. It really isn't a reflection of the quality of the drama, not at all.
