A great supernatural drama with one of the best cast chemistry in K Drama world
A great supernatural drama with one of the best cast chemistry I've seen in a while. Uncanny Counter hooked me from the very first episode that I had to watch the next episodes straight after.
This drama is great for so many reasons, it's not a typical rom-com drama for one which already sets it apart from most K Dramas. It has many genres in my opinion. It's not just a supernatural drama. It's also comedy, mystery/thriller and it's packed with action and emotions.
STORY:
The story itself grips you straight away right from the first episode. It will leave you curious and wanting to know more. As the drama progresses, it gets even more interesting and just builds up and up so there's never a dull moment. You'll get drawn in with the main story of the lead So Moon, as well as grow curious to find out more about the back stories of the other counters: Ga Mo Tak, Do Ha Na and Chu Mae Ok. Each episode is well paced and there's never a dull part that you'll wanna fast-forward or skip.
The ending of the drama was really good as well since the minor villains were dealt with before the final episode so it didn't feel like it was rushed or crammed into one episode. It goes to show how thought-out each of the episodes were. Plus it really made room for the ending to be more emotionally impactful too.
CAST:
The chemistry between the counters is really one of the best on-screen chemistry I've seen in a drama cast in a while. They all compliment each other so well in every single scene they share. You could really feel that family-like vibe among them like as if they're a real family or really good friends who've known each other for ages even off-screen. You'll laugh with them when they joke around together and get emotional when when they worry about each other. Their chemistry is just so natural and their emotions towards each other so real that it's just SO GOOD!
The production of the drama is also top-notch. From the action sequences, the visual effects, the editing... everything was just spot-on. The one negative I would probably say is that the final showdown felt a little underwhelming. I felt it could have been more action-y and badass. Saying that, it was still a great fight and the considering all the other action sequences in the drama were great, I can let it slide :D
Overall, I really recommend this drama even if you're not a fan of the supernatural genre because of the cast, their acting, great story, production and even incredible OST. It never gets boring and you'll always want to watch the next episode straight away. There's a reason why it's been picked up for Season 2 after all.
