I have already watched this twice!
It has been a while since I have enjoyed a "k-dramedy" as much as this one. It never stopped keeping me entertained. I have already watched it twice! It's one of those dramas that when you watch it a second/third time, you notice things you may have missed. All the characters were performed very well, from the main character, his best friends, to his Grandparents, the to Uncanny crew. My favorite episodes were 3/4, those are the ones I have re-watched repeatedly. The last episode was a tearjerker but in a good way. I cannot wait for part 2!Was this review helpful to you?
Amazing show!
I just finished watching this on netflix and loved it!I can't wait for season 2 which is supposed to start around September 2021.
The cast did an amazing job.This is my fist time seeing Jo Byeong-kyu and Lee Hong-nae ,and I am pretty amazed by their performances and would love to see them again soon.
Also,shocked to see Ahn Suk-hwan in such cool way,as I have seen him mostly in historical dramas playing the bad guy.
Now,the show does have a lot of disturbing scenes (which I am used to),but might be too much for some people,especially how people with power treat their employees.I see this so often in kdramas that make me believe that it might be real,which is terrifying ,same with kids beings abused by their own parents/relatives.

Took me only 2 days to finish this
I have watched more than fifteen k-drama's till now. But this is the fastest I have finished watching any drama. Why? I don't even know. The story is so amazing that if you start watching it you just can't stop. The excitement & curiosity of knowing what happens in the next episode keeps you attached to this drama. Most of the the things about this drama was great. This drama is so fun to watch. All of the things more or less makes makes though this is an sci-fi, supernatural drama. The story is simple & fun to watch. What I meant by simple that the story is easy to understand.If you are thinking about watching it then please do so. I can assure you that you won't regret it for sure. And rewatching this drama will be also very enjoyable!

THE EXCITEMENT REALLY NEVER ENDS!!
At first, I was skeptical of this drama, but the first episode grabs onto you like a hook! The Uncanny Counter is amazing, one of my newly found favorites. I looked forward to every weekend just so I could watch this show and figure out what was going to happen! A true nail-biter!The plot was nicely done, I felt as if I understood everything I needed to know, and the progression of the characters was quite lovely. The highlight of this show, in my opinion, was the friendship. Onto character progression, Hyukwoo had a nice character progression, as he went from being a huge bully, and generally just a character you dislike a lot, to the one you start feeling a bit bad for and start liking because he starts being nicer, it was a nice touch. (a bit cliche, but it still gets me every time) I also liked how Mun became a counter out of nowhere, and his progression of becoming better, and settling in with his powers as a Counter, and figuring out all the new things he can do with them. The uncertainties the rest of the group had disappeared as Mun learned.
Uncanny Counter has a pretty good mix of Thrill, Political Corruption, Supernatural, Friendship, and light-heartedness, and it makes the drama itself great to watch.
I love this cast a lot, not just the actors/actresses, but the characters they play as well. They all work well together, and their characters were so nicely fit together, it was almost as if they were a family, and in my eyes, they really are a family. I truly love every member of the Counter squad, they live in my heart. I also love Mun's two best-friends, they are so wholesome and never failed to give me a smile! The casting on Uncanny Counter is splendid, and I couldn't imagine the cast being anyone else!
Overall, I 10/10 recommend Uncanny Counter, it's an amazing show, and I would, and probably will rewatch it again down the road. You will not regret watching Uncanny Counter!

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.

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.Was this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?

Entertaining
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.Was this review helpful to you?
