Hey everyone, welcome back to the K-drama study. Last time I reviewed the historical drama Joseon Attorney: A Morality. It was a show that was decent but still had some enjoyable moments. Today, I'll discuss the second season of The Uncanny Counter. Now, before I jump into the show, I'll give you a small recap review talking about my thoughts on season one before I share my thoughts on Season two.

Season One Recap Review:
The inaugural season of that particular show was an absolute delight to watch. The writing was top-notch, and it was evident that a lot of hard work had gone into it. While it is true that there were some minor issues with the drama, they did not detract from the overall enjoyment of the show. If my memory serves me correctly, I gave it a C rating due to a few areas where it could have been improved. Nonetheless, it was still a great season that left an indelible mark on me.

Season 2 Review:


Story:
The latest addition to the counter team in this show was not a strong character. They didn't bring much value to the team, and their ability to smell spirits could have been more useful. Furthermore, their character development needed to be improved, and they didn't add much to the fight scenes. I wonder why the writers decided to introduce a new member to the group. Additionally, Somun's personality seemed off in this season, which was a letdown. It was also disappointing to see the relationship between Dohwi and Hana come to an end. Nonetheless, the evil spirits were a bright spot, although a backstory for them would have been nice. Despite some pacing issues, the fight scenes were still engaging, and the family dynamic remained intact. Overall, season 2 didn't live up to the standards set by season 1. However, the ending did provide some closure, which was appreciated.

I found the soundtracks for this season to be pretty decent. However, out of all the tracks, only one ballad left a lasting impression on me. That particular track was Sejeong's soundtrack, undoubtedly my personal favorite. The vocals were simply breathtaking, and I couldn't resist listening to it on loop. Another song I enjoyed was "& Turn," which was created specifically for the show; although, I didn't get to hear it as frequently as I would have liked. Overall, I preferred the soundtracks from season 1, as I recall listening to them repeatedly when they were initially released.

I would have to give season 2 a lower grade of C. The writing could have been better and made the show less enjoyable. While the characters were satisfactory, adding the new counter brought little to the table. I don't know if I would want to see a season 3, but if it does happen, I truly hope the writing is of higher quality and brings back the same feeling as season 1. In the meantime, I have decided to watch A Time Called You and will provide an in-depth review once the show has concluded.
