Enjoy the ride

Just finished The Uncanny Counter. What a ride! I like drama’s where the leads have supernatural powers. Makes me wonder what kind of power I would like to have. Certainly not the power to read other people’s mind. And especially not if I had to get evil. Would traumatize me for the rest of my live, seeing those memories. I settle for being able to run, jump and kick ass. Although healing would be great too.I loved the way the four leads interacted. They sure did feel like a family. Playful, teasing and sometimes bitching, all the things family does. Cho Byeong Kyu played his part so well, you could see the way he grew during the episodes into the powerful young man he was at the end. The way he summoned the territory, beautiful. Those lights, those colors. I promised myself to summon a territory like that in my mind whenever I need extra strength or support.All the actors were great though, even the ones with small parts. The horror wasn’t that big of a deal, the things that happened in real live were much scarier. Powerplay and corruption all the way. And the bullying, brrrr.I highly recommend this drama. And the good thing is, there’s a season 2!

Enjoyed it except that counters were underpowered

I liked the story and how it ended up. I feel sad for Mo-taks girlfriend but I guess that was one of the necessary tragedies. I did feel that in terms of afterlife it was shallow and poorly written - I know it wasn't the focus so I am not judging it and it was well balanced with irl action. But I will note the whole warning giving, counting thing was laughably flawed. Something I am judging a little more is the fact that they say that guys are the only counters in Korea, them dying is such a high risk sabotaging the whole counter operation. So why are they so weak? Literally so many L3 spirits around and one already beats them up, kills one in opening episode. With such reaper system in the world, evil spirits would have dominated world by now.
