In a world where demons escape from the afterlife and cause chaos on Earth, a group of special people called "counters" are humanity's defenders and protectors. When I see the word "Uncanny" the first thing I think about is the Uncanny X-men, super heroes with special unique powers, which is exactly what the 4 lead counters are. Very early on we're exposed to what they do, why they do it and how dangerous it is. So dangerous death might result from them trying to do their duty. 3 of the 4 counters work at a gourmet noodle shop which always has long lines when it's open. Shout out to the production team, those noodles look mouth watering and I had to go get food after that. The 4th counter dies and his power transfers to our unlikely hero.

This new counter has a deformed leg from a childhood car accident that killed both his parents. His story is tragic but the hero is SUPER likeable. He's dealing with school bullying and a grandmother suffering from memory loss. It's impossible not to like or sympathize with him. As we learn more about each counter we realized they may be more connected than we thought. There's also chaebol level criminal happenings backed by politicians and dirty cops, showing high level corruption on a massive scale.

The villains are well fleshed out. There are 2 lead demons, both are easily hate-able especially the female one who seems to have a face made for bitch slapping. In some ways even with limited screen time they seem more interesting than the leads. The action is exciting which makes this an easy show to watch and recommend.
