Unwanted Chitchats, Poor Reasoning: Not Recommended for Logic-Sensitive Viewers!
Stupidity at its peak. The main leads engage in chitchat or look at each other when the enemy is nearby, resulting in the enemy conveniently escaping or taking hostages. Despite having 10 years of experience, the main leads, who are wounded in a scene, casually move towards the enemy or engage in casual chitchats. I don't know how I watched the first season; I'm not sure if it was this stupid. Basically, all these grown men with enough combat experience just engage in chitchat or have badass moments or dialogues when in combat.I'm currently on the 4th episode, and despite the leads being frustratingly foolish and dragging the show down with their mistakes, I plan to finish it since I've already started.
Also, it's kind of weird to have only 5 or 6 demon hunters per country. By the way, it's not the biggest issue; the above chitchats were way more annoying and stupid than this. In a somewhat similar show called 'Tomorrow', they had a large organization with many employees. However, in Uncanny Counter, there are only a few demon hunters for each country, which seems really weird and stupid. I think this would be better suited for new viewers or for kids, or for someone who doesn't think too much and can ignore these issues while watching.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone sensitive to logic and reasoning, specifically regarding the leads' thinking capacity. I'm not referring to the logic behind the fantasy, but rather the main leads' IQ and their ability to understand when to engage in chitchats and when not to. If you enjoyed Season 1 and want to watch this, I suggest checking out a recap or the story of Season 2 instead. It might be better than wasting time on this series unless you have no other shows to watch.
(Note: The graphics were good, though.)
Update:
It was unwatchable i completed this series by fast forwarding. So, final verdict not recommended.

Frustrated by a Plot Hole in Episode 2 but It was Good
I was enjoying but Episode 2 hit a snag. The main lead faces false surgery accusations, yet the show conveniently ignores what happened to the surgery recording. Did it disappear into thin air? No explanation. Realism matters, even in dramas. A simple line about the footage getting corrupted would've sufficed. I’m pretending that it’s just a live feed, not a recording and watching the show now. Annoying gap, hoping they patch it up in future episodes.
Continued after 2nd episode it was good but not that good. Some series make me drop in the middle but this was watchable. Sometimes I felt that the main leads could have been smarter. I don’t know how the law works on recording the surgery I continued watching considering that it’s was just a live feed.

Best from My List so far: Perfect Blend of Sadness, Comedy, Revenge, and Romance – No Cringe!
I thoroughly enjoyed the show; it had me in tears. A perfect blend of comedy, sentiment, sadness, revenge, and romance that wasn't too cringy (I usually avoid romance series). The emotion from the mother-son relationship was great. I'm not an experienced reviewer, and I've seen some negative reviews. However, from my perspective, this series stood out as the best from my list. There may be better versions like this, but for me, it was the best among the series I've watched.I don't usually review; I rarely review the series that I didn't like and don't review the ones I like, just rate them. However, this series got my emotions triggered so much that it made me to write a review.
I'm searching for similar series, and I haven't had much luck finding ones that are similar to this. If anyone reading this has recommendations for similar series with a focus on parental love or related themes, please share your suggestions.
Don't spend time wondering whether to watch it or not-it's a definite yes. This series is exceptionally good, and it's one of the best I've seen in a long time.

The main leads are idiotic.
The story is going well, but the main leads are idiotic which lead to unnecessary death. Most of the series that I watched were with good reasoning, logic and thinking. The Mains leads were cautious but in this series the main leads are clumsy and idiotic, so I'm unable to continue this series but if you are ok with clumsy characters you can give it a try.Was this review helpful to you?
Great Idea, Disappointing Acting and Execution
While the concept of the series is intriguing, the execution fell short of expectations. The idea of grim reapers interacting with suicidal individuals is interesting, but the implementation lacks finesse, especially in the aspect of erasing memories. Unfortunately, the main lead, Choi Joon Woong, delivered a performance that didn't align with my preferences. The acting felt overly cringe, making it challenging for me to continue watching. Despite my initial interest and managing to endure two episodes, I've decided to drop the series due to the mismatch between the acting style and the tone of the show.I'm not criticizing the actor's talent but it's just my personal view on whether the performance suits the series.No offense to fans and I prefer not to rate, but since it's required for the review, I gave it a 5.
