Also Alchemy of Souls cast reunion Uncle Park Jin x Park Dang Gu
After AoS (Part 1) ended in August 2022, I searched out other dramas featuring some of my favorite actors, including Yoo Joon Sang Park Jin). I put Uncanny Counter on my Watchlist but didn't pay much attention until. . . . . in September they announced that In-soo would be joining UC2. I immediately binged all of UC and have been waiting for this show for almost a year.
JTBC released a new trailer/preview (2.5 minutes long) and a fan of Lee Jun Ho has provided her Eng sub translation. Still looks like fun and I'm looking forward to it. Note: the preview is in two parts in the twitter post.
YIS is just love. His first performance as villain may have had my resentment for him, but each role afterwards…
Lol, TvN just released still cuts and video of the UC 2 script reading (from last October) and this is how they describe In-soo character: "The final new face is Yoo In Soo as Jeok Bong, a newly recruited clumsy counter who is unfamiliar with everything." Sounds a bit like Sam-sik , doesn't it? After that, his next three roles are: a patient in a psychiatric ward; a high school bully and a convicted murderer (this last one is only a rumor).
Video (7 minutes long 😊) of the script reading (I believe from October 2022?). There is an auto-translate function so some of the transcript is readable.
I wish they hadn’t kept Sam Sik separate from the main story for so long. The three of them together is hilarious.
I agree - these last few episodes are what I have waited for as promised by early promotion - that Sam-sik was a world of "disappointment" with a pure heart.
Yoo In-soo was still filming Alchemy of Souls when filming began on this drama - he was juggling both for at least a month. Perhaps that is why his scenes were brief in the first few weeks.
Episode 7 is definitely not my favorite. Yes - certain scenes/dialogue was intended to Move The Story Forward and some "inner thoughts" by ML were . . . .possibly meaningful ???
.But a disappointment because if **I** was writing this, I could have created/imagined better plot devices than the one today. Did the "stay in a temple" company invest in this drama??
Nevertheless, when I finally get out of bed in the morning PDT, I get my cup of coffee and watch this drama on M/Tu. Characters are charming and. . . .that's about it.
All I ask is that he be at least two-dimensional (a little good; a little bad) unlike one-dimension evil Cruella.
interesting comment by the actor - I'm watching him right now on "Goddess of Revenge" and he is a cutie..
I could be wrong - I often am - but from the beginning I thought that SJ loved him/he loved SJ (more than he loved YD - after all, he had a RING for SJ) and if SJ gets ANY redemption/positive ending, it will be because of him. 28 episodes to find out. 😊
I was looking for something short and fun to fill some time and thought this would fit the bill. I don't mind…
As with most k-drama rom-coms, around Ep, 3 the characters begin to evolve/change: FL calms down; ML shows emotion and the SML loses some of his charm. I'm glad it's only 10 episodes so the story move quickly.
Yay!! My boy Park Dang Gu is in this. I mean Yoo In Soo. I love him so much. I hope he is not playing a creepy…
Unless you are already a fan of In-soo (like me), you will discover that most people here on MDL hate his character. "Social butterfly" Dang-gu is absent. but that just means he is an actor that can play a range of characters. (Gwi-nam is absent as well). 😊
