A really fun watch!
I watched this earlier this year when it just came out on Netflix, after watching a lot of the darker dramas like Alice in Borderland, Sweet Home and Strangers from Hell, I wanted something lighter and “happier”, and The Uncanny Counter delivered just that.
To me, this is a light scifi/supernatural drama with a sprinkle of comedy and also those dramatic moments that make you reach for tissues. I like the unique take of the grim reapers / demon hunters, because they are ordinary humans who sell noodles at a popular local noodle house, who also acquired curly hair once they become a Counter. I love the characters in these series, and their relationships are adorable, I especially love So Mun’s relationship with his best friends Ung-min and Ju-yeon as they have a solid, unbreakable bond. Also, can I just mention how much Yeom Hye-ran kicks ass in this? It’s awesome to see more of her in this.
Overall this is a fun series to watch, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and the drama concluded nicely too.
Rewatch value: I almost never rewatch anything, and same goes with this one, but I do love some of the fight scenes, so I wouldn't mind rewatching some of the fight sequences.
