Dissappioned as a huge fan of s1

Season 1 was perfect package. Perfect mix of family, friendship, action, high school, crush(whoever sees Hana crush over her?. It's sejeong. Can't help), true love(motak ❤️ jeongyeon), supernatural, superficial elements from Yung and afterlife concepts, both evil spirits and human villains.
I have watched S1 so many times. It's always playing on my TV since my 4 years old daughter also likes so mun and calls him super hero. She started to watch him because I rewatched s1 on our TV a couple of times. And i watched S2 the same way. But she too didn't like it and wanted to play scenes of s1 only.
The actors did a wonder job in s1. But this season its somewhat lacking. And it definitely not the actors fault. But the writing. The writing ruined everything.
Unlike season 1 this season had so much visual efffects, all those colorful things, different dimensions, or whatever, yet there was not one moment when it made me fascinated.. I only had this neutral expression on my face.
I definitely missed the child actor who played DuSik before. I guess, I am to used to seeing only him in that character.
Chairman ChoiJangmul - The writer did dirty to his character in this season after all those badass, cool representation of him in s1. He was first the counter of korea. He successfully completed his role as a counter and retired while many counter die on field. They made his character a clown in this season. He became a punching bag for the evil spirits. ?I am still stuck with the scene of him walking into the police station and punching a parent of a bully who hurt somun.?
Only WiGen's character developed a little. Or maybe the actress who played it is the reason.? The way she is walking in her white costume. The feeling I felt was really divine. Her daughter is so beautiful.
I missed the old Somun???.. His own character traits. The way he was going around ajussi, ajussi, ajussi... That was enough to made me drop this season in middle. I resumed it again a couple days before only. Somun was literally Crazy over MaJuSeok. But there was nothing that explains his obsession with him.
In season 1, i was way too connected with somun character. When he laughs, I'd laugh too, when he cry, I'd cry too. Whatever he felt, I felt the same too. JoByeongGyu is such an actor. But this season didn't give justice to his abilities As an actor. The writing is the problem again.
Dohwi and Hana.❤️❤️❤️The only good thing that happened for me in this season. After seeing only the tough DoHana, seeing this side of Hana was really warming. Her laugh was the highlight. Although she showed a warm side of her in S1. It was still a family like affection with counters. I never really wanted/felt the need of a romantic storyline in s1 since I always felt somun and Hana showed a family like relationship only.
The Actor who played ParkDoHwi. ❤️The writers messed the whole drama but the story of them. How to not ship them when the story is this perfect. ?? The actor is masculine yet cute?. His smile is enough for me☺️. They don't deserve this ending.?
There was this one character I don't have an idea at all. MaJuSeok. I still can't process his character development. Haven't felt a single thing. He was good, became evil, again became good. Yes people tend to be swayed by emotions. But There were not enough scenes that justifies his character in whole. But the story was very much concerned over his ridiculously uncanny abilities. They should have focused more on developing his character. Supposedly, I have to feel sorry for his character.. Felt nothing from beginning to end.
NaJoekBong. Either he is there or not, there is no difference for me. Another neutral feeling.
LimJaeyoul, another saviour character that happened in this. The problem is the execution. Such a warming story. But good thing handled in a sloppy way. Again the actor is super handsome.
Hanul - he played an important role in season 1. Yet he became useless in S2. Another letdown. ?.
HwangPilGwang. - i just don't want to see kangkiyeong as HwangPilGwang again. The actor did his best as villain for sure. But I wish, Woo Young Woo S2 to happen And KangKiYoung to be there.
For the Drama The Uncanny Counter, the vilian is JiJeongSin only.?Evil King
GELLY - character grew more annoying only. She is nowhere near BeakHyanGi. ?
Wong - the most USELESS character to happen in both season combined. But i was really impressed by the actor. Even his looks. him in hair updo playing ruthless killer freaked me and same him in hair down playing a clueless innocent in jail looked cutie. Poor him, don't know WHY HE appeared in the first place and why got cut down in middle.
Now I am afraid of S3 to happen. If its gonna be like S2 again, I wish that S3 should not happen. There was no story to connect with. So many things that haven't made sense at all.
In season 1, there was stories of somun and other counters family and past. The villains had their own stories. Even the victim of the evil spirits had such warm stories. JiCheongSin was able to use Psycokenisis too. BeakHyanGi was able to read memories too.
JiCheongSin captured ParkCheolJung(WiGen's previous partner) soul too. So all these cooking of evil spirits consuming counter soul and acquiring their powers made no sense to me. It's like both seasons are 2 different dramas where the main plot is similar. Like where a S2 if a drama comes with different cast and story but with same concept.
Ost Ready to me became my favourite. Sounds energetic.
The evil spirits keep getting ridiculously powerful and beat the blue out of the counters. The counters with ridiculously annoying talk and talk and talk powers even in middle of a fight. ?
