Good plotline with very cohesive characters that satisfy

The thrill, action, affections (not romance) and the supernatural are mixed in perfect ratio to make the emotional rollercoaster to make you long for more. If your emotion have been numbed by overused cliche plots, you should watch this to see how the masters do it.

Plot: Being a webtoon, the plot is expected and not out of the world. Yet it is executed so damn perfectly that you can't complain. With the progress of main plotline (to find the reason behind the death of MC's parents, and hunting the evil spirits) there are many subplots (school bullying, corruption of the city, muder mystery etc.) But the subplots are not independent of main plot and contribute to the progress of the main plot.
Special applause to the script writer for not messing it up and not overusing the common troupes.

Character development: generally you need to in coma to become a counter (if you are not the mc). So it is natural that they have a tragic backstory yet it was executed in such a way that it wasn't begging for your sympathy. Just enough to keep you invested in the characters. As well as the backstory of the evil spirits or the motives of the corrupt politicians and businessmen are explained just enough to make you resent them.
Then again it is a special applause to the script writer not messing it up and pacing it perfectly so that it doesn't become boring.

Acting: Wow! It's perfect. Se-jeong is the best tsundere noona, jung-sang is the perfect angry-young ajushhi, Hye-ran is caring old ajumma and they perfected their character to the point of no criticism. They doesn't look forced, not even broke the mold when they act out of their character's comfort zone.
And Jo Byung-gyu is not the perfect one but did a job well done. Other than the time when he is crying for himself, he perfect. The anger, the resentment, the friendship with his school friend, the shy moment with beautiful noona, he had executed it perfectly. He is the mc you want to support.
And yes, you want to give a smack to the villains.
P.s. Ahn Suk-hwan is best as big-boss

Yup I, too, like the cliches. The rainbow-farting overused oily drama is my main food but the new year is here, so I should atleast try to make a resolution to eat healthier. And UNCANNY COUNTER is just the right food.
Try it. You won't regret it.
