Flaws? There probably are a few here and there, but I enjoyed the drama too much to even notice. Overall, this drama is a masterpiece, one of the best dramas released in 2020!

It really has the vibes of OCN dramas, its brutal. I usually like OCN dramas because they don't play safe in the action scenes. This time around though, with a ‘fantasy’ genre it was bit off putting to me since I am not a fan of that certain genre, but surprisingly I liked this drama. I started to understand the story as I was watching it. I did feel the twitch/simple diversion in the mid part of the drama, but it's okay with me.
The drama is really, for me comic-like, that all I could think is that it's really adapted from a manhwa. It has that typical plotline that evolved to something new and refreshing. I liked how the characters portrayed their roles as well as giving emphasis unto family and friendship relationship rather than on the romance side. Overall I did enjoy this drama and I would likely watch the second season.

brings out strong emotions
This has to be one of my all time favourites. I have rewatched it so many times. I cried buckets but it was also very beautiful. It was hard to take breaks because i was so eager to finish it. Im am waiting for all episodes on season 2 to come out before i watch it. I hope its as good as this one.the scene where Chu Mae ok's hand slips away from his son, i was a wreck. It really potrays the pain and guilt for being the only survivor.
That and when So Moon finally reveals why he needed to meet his parents, those were the scenes that hit the hardest.
I really recommend this serie, but bring tissues because it really draws you in emotionally. But it has a happy ending thank god.

Manger des nouilles et chasser les démons
L’histoire commence par la chasse d’un démon par un groupe de quatre personnes… Le démon a le dessus et l’un des quatre meurt…ou pas, parce qu’il y a plusieurs niveaux d’existence dans ce drama ! On entre de plain pied dans le fantastique, entre les chasseurs qui ont des pouvoirs (guérisseurs, prémonition, force physique supérieure…) le Monde Supérieur avec lequel ils sont en communication, et où se trouve le binôme de chacun. Il faut remplacer le chasseur dont l’esprit est parti dans un autre univers … Jusqu’à présent les chasseurs étaient choisis chez des personnes dans le coma, à qui la vie était rendue, avec leurs dons en plus, à condition de s’engager dans la chasse aux démons…Cette fois le choix porte sur un adolescent, lycéen qui a perdu ses parents 10 ans plus tôt dans un accident de la route d’où il est sorti avec une jambe très abîmée… Il accepte en échange de la promesse de revoir ses parents…Ce que j’en ai pensé :
Là ce n’est que le commencement, les péripéties s’enchaînent, le démon devient de plus en plus puissant, il entasse les âmes de ceux qu’il tue… Viennent s’y greffer les intrigues de corruption politique habituelles, les pourris et les démons faisant bon ménage !
Bon, raconté comme ça, ça doit paraître fumeux et pas terrible ! Eh bien non, en fait, les choses se mettent en place, les forces terrestres et surnaturelles s’ajoutent pour le bien mais aussi pour le mal !
Ce que j’ai particulièrement aimé de ce drama c’est son ton de bande dessinée, de manga : le drama a conservé le ton du comic, enfin, je le suppose, je ne l’ai pas vu, mais c’est bien dans l’esprit d’une BD : les méchants sont odieusement épouvantables les gentils sont chaleureux, gentils, parmi eux règne l’amitié, un sens aigu de la justice et de la protection des plus faibles. Mais ce qui pourrait être du manichéisme est en fait l’écriture presque naïve d’une histoire faite pour distraire, j’ai vraiment l’impression que le webcomic d’origine a été écrit par un ado de l’âge du héros !
Malgré les combats (réalistes, sanglants, c’est OCN, ne l’oublions pas ! ) l’ambiance est chaleureuse, on voit se créer les liens d’amitié entre les chasseurs qui deviennent à la fois grand frère, sœur, mère du jeune ado ,qui pendant ce temps gagne en force et en pouvoir jusqu’à devenir le fer de lance du groupe… J’ai été frappée par les gestes de tendresse, d’amitié des aînés envers le jeune, gestes concrets nombreux et pas si courants que ça !
Les acteurs se sont donnés à fond dans l’histoire, ils y ont mis ce qu’il fallait pour faire passer tout ce truc fantastico-politoco-policier, qu’on y accroche et qu’on ne le lâche plus ! Le dernier épisode est un peu plus rose bonbon, mais c’est normal, c’est le genre d’histoire qui ne peut finir que bien, malgré les deuils et les chagrins qu’il a fallu affronter tout du long !
Les dialogues sont très bons, très vrais, et justes, avec l’émotion, la colère, l’humour qu’il faut quand il faut. Il faut donner une mention spéciale aux acteurs qui sont les chasseurs, Yum Hye Ran, remarquable actrice déjà npotée, qui maîtrise parfaitement le personnage de figure maternelle du groupe, Kim Se Jong, qui devrait pourvoir avoir d’autres rôles, elle a un vrai talent naturel, Yu Jung Sang, parfait dans le flic amnésique, dévoué à son rôle de chasseur et dans son amitié protectrice envers le jeune Joe Byung Gyu qui se tire remarquablement du rôle du héros, souvent fade par rapport aux seconds rôles aux caractères plus marqués qui l’entourent.
Et je n’arrêterai pas avant de mentionner Ahn Suk Hwan, l’inévitable ! Je sors d’un drama où il est pour entrer dans un autre et qui je retrouve ? Ahn Suk Hwan ! Ici dans un rôle fantaisiste, avec un look incroyable, mais cette homme est un caméléon !!! Il s’adapte parfaitement à tout, il peut être un vrai salaud (dans certains sageuks) ou un type super sympa, ou un arriviste arrogant et odieux… Je me demande s’il a le temps de dormir et manger entre tous ses rôles !
Bref, j’ai beaucoup aimé ce drama, son ambiance de fraîcheur naïve (malgré tout le bazar démoniaque) et la victoire donnée à l’amitié, l’affection, la tendresse et l’amour sur le côté obscur de la Force !

loved every minute
It's very rare for me to find a series where I don't fast forward through some scenes but I loved every minute of this series. I loved the acting and how strong and capable the female characters were and I thought that it had the perfect mix of humor and drama. It does get a little violent, but not bloody. Also trigger warning if you have a problem seeing people being bullied because it happens throughout the series so be careful if this is a problem for you. I highly recommend this series. I thought that the action scenes were very believable and interesting. The CG was great and not overused.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
What a show!!
I was not sure what to expect when watching this. I randomly clicked on it cause I wanted a new show to watch and I don't regret watching this one bit! This show is so good, kinda giving me buffy vibes (fighting demons, chosen ones and when someone dies a new one replaces the old one, etc). Every episode ends with an exciting cliffhanger and I always wanted to know how to continues. There are a lot of plot twists and it wasn't predictable.This series has made me laugh, smile, cry and all of them at the same time. It also does the newfound family really well and I recommend this to everyone who wants to watch a show with a lot of action, newfound family, wholesome moments and just a very exciting story.

REALLY WORTH THE WATCH TRUST ME
To be completely honest I have been ignoring this drama for a long time, simply because I thought I wouldn't find it interesting as I did. When I actually decided to start watching it, it didn't take long for it to grab my attention. Some of the things I liked the most is just the trust and the friendship between the main characters or counters to be exact and obviously the fantasy side. All of them just give off family vibes and that made me happy in a way. They were always ready to help and stand up for each other. Idk I just really liked this kdrama, I know that many would say that it's nothing new and that these kinds of plots are seen often but it just feels different to me and I just don't think i will ever get bored of these ''usual'' plots, they're just so fun to watch. I.n any case I would absolutely suggest everyone to give this drama a chance.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Every damn scene was so entertaining in this series ! Never did I once felt an urge to skip even 10 secs !Some good acting and action in can be seen here ! The cast is done very nicely , all of them are so loveable ! Even the villains did a great job ! I just felt the ML annoyed me sometimes , not to be able to control his emotions and let all his team members and friends fall in trouble , but then that's the beauty of his role , that's how its written ! He brings out the emotions very well !
Enjoy it !

One of the best drama I have ever seen
I just want you guys to know that this shows is very fascinating and worth it. The actors are very funny, their personality does matches their appearance which draw a lot of attention to the viewers. The musics in the background is very epic and it does goes well with the theme shows. The story of this shows really does suit my ideal genre types of shows which grab a lot of attention from me continuing to watched. That is all i can say, and I hope this show will gain more popularity, well right now it is very popular on netflix and other streaming sites.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
A GEM ! but note the flaws
I said what I had to!This drama is a literal gem. I totally loved all the scenes from the beginning till the very end.
I personally have never read the webtoon, though actually at some point while this drama was still going on—I did wanted to check it out but then I just figured out I can do that after this ends.
Well, not gonna lie, I did had it on hold for a week, guess I just had read too many comments here marking it as "overrated", "boring" and all so I think that got on me and I actually spent that week thinking why do I actually like the drama?
For the plot, I'd say it's not something brand new but it's not common either. It was pretty decent and likeable. The cast was AMAZING!! The acting—each and every actor did a very good job. Music was sweet too and I would, no doubt rewatch it again whenever I would seek this thrill again.
Also, as for the people looking for romance..guys, you won't even be needing romance in this freaking series. Although it does have a few cute moments of the two counters here and there and they're just the right amount believe me—so they don't overdo it since OCN doesn't focus on that.
Apart from that, the last episode was damn refreshing to see everything back at it's place.
Give it a try, you won't regret it. :)
Edit: I wanted to write the flaws I found too—firstly, the plot doesn't answer many unanswered questions. As the season ended I realised this *sigh* It could have been much BETTER ngl. But as we say, nothing's perfect but this drama sures keeps you waiting with all the cliffhangers!

Refreshing show, awesome beginning, Ok towards end
Story:The show started off very strong and I had a very good time watching it. There was mystery, humor, emotions and fantasy all together. The characters had good progression. I really liked how they incorporated humor in the show while maintaining the victory good over evil scenario. It was also nice to see how each team member was becoming closer and like a family to each other that made it heart warming show as well. But this was mostly in the first 2/3rd of the show.
In the last few episodes, the team bonding moments and the humor took the sideline, plot had more loopholes, focus was mainly on villain and not on individual characters and it became a bit predictable which made the last few episodes an OK watch.
The acting was good. I can rewatch it because of the acting and the characters.
Overall it's a good show.

Curlies~
If you throw the logic out the window sometimes, it's really enjoyable to watch. I'll write the part with spoilers after I finish the general part of review.. I really have few questions.Uncanny Counter tells a pretty neat story of a young man who finds himself gaining powers to fight evil spirits and help them reach the place where they belong for all the wrongs they comitted. I kind of forgot how does it feel to watch a series about someone "special". Because our boy So Mun can be called special. Other counters get a second chance in life waking up from a coma in exchange for risking as counters, but So Mun was walking around with his friends. Special~. Being special did not end on that *points* you know what I mean, if you watched.
He joins for a simple, yet sacred for him reason - he wants to meet his parents, who passed away in a car accident and working as a counter will give him this opportunity. And this is our story about the evil spirits and the evil in human hearts. The story binds several characters to the main unfolding plot. And many might find it unsatisfactory, but I looked at it from the angle where evil spirits are not the most evil you might find, they basically want to become more powerful, so they consume human souls left and right, but the greed in person's heart may lead them to act far inferior to beasts. But due to supernatural elements and the tone set to be not too realistic and depressing, it helps to elevate some of its' moodiness, but doesn't end up being clownish. Despite the fact that the story about the main evils stretches very predictably for entire season, but along the way there is a feeling of satisfaction for the entire build-up frustration when the evil is finally punished.
UC also has a strong theme of family and bonding, because after So Mun joined the counters he felt that they were like his family.
Some of the characters, especially So Mun, really grew and changed. Some really don't need that much of a development, but small changes here and there were present.
The acting in the show was great (sometimes was a bit too much for me though, personal preference, nothing more), so were the characters, you really cheered for them, there are a lot of heartfelt and tear-inducing moments, but because there was enough of emotional scenes I find that it's not good to binge (and I binged the last part of the series), because you may feel fatigued. I bet when you watch with enough pause between episodes it may not feel like that.
The only downside to entire series is that it feels draggy in later part, but it can be said about many shows with 16 episodes or more. But in general it was quite entertaining.
Oh yeah, big thanks to vfx ppl on this show and those who decided not to use too much of cgi, that's why a load of action scenes and less cgi made it pop and not to make it too fairy.
/SPOILER PART/
Now, I can talk about few spoilerish parts that stuck to my head.
- The biggest question marks in my head . The first one was during the council time and So Mun being stripped off his abilities, I can understand the motivation behind this action story-wise, but before that I felt that the whole system of "breaking" rules was reallu outdated. By this time it was obvious that actions of evil spirits and humans were interconnected and distinguishing one from the other was impossible, all actions were directed for the greater good. But when it comes to the main evil spirit I was sitting and thinking - they know it's powerful, why would you have only few people after it, if it's so dangerous. I mean I thought there were only these few counters (silly me), but when it downed on me that they surely have more I had another question - why don't you send people to catch the bastard? But of course our main heroes should do these themselves, otherwise it would be too convenient. But knowing that the guy is SO dangerous, it was strange not to do it and later they sit around the table with worried faces.
- The part where So Mun thought it was his negative thoughts that drove for the territory to appear made me say "Dude"...
- OH YEAH! The one part that was in my opinion hysterical. Although the acting was great, but when it came to the scene with staffs I laughed like a b*. All those noises and poses sent me flying. Honestly, if someone else was at home they might think I'm watching AV.
- Some say this series have too much going on about humans and not about catching evil spirits, but the past of two counters involves humans and that's the setting you get.. you expect no humans an donly evil spirits there? As I said earlier I do find that it was more about how horrible can a person be, harboring evil.
- Another laugh I got from the "hell" scene when evil spirits land at the point of their destination. Honestly, a mud bath? It was funy to watch them in those neon lights, a bit of dry ice, mud floating around and extras crawling around. It left me with a silly feeling instead of feeling dread. Even a simple spotlight on the person in question and reaching out and dragging the person into nothingness would feel like a horror instead of a bunch of people wriggling around, playing as if they're going to "eat" the new guy.
- It's a wishful thinking for the shows to be shorter and wrap up the endings in an upbeat manner, the story would be more compact in this way, especially when you have one main villain (the evil spirit in our case), but it's just a dream, I know.
