The series is not bad overall but what makes it really special is Yeaom Hye-ran portrayal of the protective team leader. She's sweet and powerful and oddly believable as a seasoned demon Hunter with a heart of gold. I am glad I didn't miss this show.

I was very entertained when watching these episodes! There are lots of feel good times in this series and I like the cast since they just seem to grow on you as each one is different in their abilities and quirkiness but they can get very serious when things get to the extreme danger zones.
Also his classmates the fat guy and the nerdy girl are also funny.
Whenever I see them get picked on, I get mad too.
Overall great series and episodes so far!
Thank you!

This show is so good! Everyone should definitely watch this. The cast is very well-fit to their characters. Good execution of actions and emotions. Great job for the director and producers! Though they revised some scenes from the webtoon, they did it so well that the viewers are enjoying it so much. Maybe that's the reason why they have high ratings in Korea. WATCH THIS NOW!!!

At least as good as any demon hunter series from Hollywood. I'm not into K-pop, foreign movies, or any pop for that matter. This doesn't seem to fall into those categories. It may convert me. I'm willing to watch more movies in languages I don't understand just based on the outstanding experience with this series.

I don't watch a lot of kdrama because of the influx of romance themes in it but this show is gold, the action scenes are really done well, the plot is addicting.
worth watching
I got an imdb account just to leave a review for this to put it at a more deservable spot than 7.1
The show may try to push for waterworks one too many times, but the story is enjoyable and it has some good action mixed in as well. I've seen up to episode 6 at this point and so far, I would recommend it. There are too many trash shows out nowadays so gotta at least give kudos to the ones that are worth a watch.
Ok...I am a Canadian white dude and because of the COVID silliness and the sheer lack of western shows I have started looking into some South Korean TV to fill the gap. My goodness, so far it has been a real treat! Korea is getting pretty good at making tv shows! Of course it's all English subtitles for me and some of the unexplained cultural scenes are lost on me, but those are few and far between. I have really enjoyed this show that is over an hour per episode! There is a ton of content here to watch and it was all expertly done for the most part.
Excellent writing is what has made this show so good. The directing and acting is decent too, but it's the writing that far outshines them all!
For entertainment value this show is great so be sure to check it out!

Loved the concept. Watched 10 episodes. Enjoyable, fun, creative.
But my head hurts from all the crying - nah, wailing and bawling - and screaming.
Maybe it's cultural, but I haven't seen this much screaming in any of the 20-something Korean shows I've watched. It's farcical.
All this crying doesn't create drama. Instead, it's annoying and disturbing. "Skip ahead" has become my fav button on this show, which is a shame. Some otherwise fantastic scenes are massively annoying to watch because the characters are bellowing, screeching and howling every. Single. Step. Of. Their. Way. Argh!!!
To be honest, the bad guys' storyline is more interesting to watch because they don't cry at a drop of a hat, like the good guys.

I initially thought this was going to be another action series loaded with martial arts and fight scenes. This show is so much more than that. Sure it has it's fair share of action but what really got me was the personal connections the main character Mun has with his team, his family and his best friends. This goes deep into the feelings of each and how important they are. In the emotionally charged scenes the acting was so genuine I literally cried. I was caught off guard by this show and I can't say enough how I've enjoyed it. Even when trying to explain some of the dynamics between Mun and say his grandmother for instance, I fell apart due to the fact I had the same experience with my grandmother as she was passing. This looks into relationships of all sorts and the complicated web we weave in trying to be acknowledged, loved, guarded, vulnerable and accepted. The story line is solid with great twists and turns, the right amount of comedy and action as to not be campy and the acting is superb. I highly recommend it!
The actors and characters are appealing, and I like that they feature a strong middle-aged woman as one of the leads. She even occasionally gets a few good lines, although basically she's there to play den mother to the rest of them. This series started as an interesting fantasy that turned into (yet another) variation on a police procedural. Too much school bullying and endless fighting scenes. The vision of the afterlife is unimaginative and ludicrous. Everything is white, including the file cabinets and there are some crazy rules: "We want you to catch the evil spirits who are embedded in bad, bad human beings, but, hey, don't get involved in human affairs." And what is all this stuff about the "territory" boundaries moving around. Nonsensical twaddle. I know the tousled, disheveled look is in, but it's not working for Ga Mo Tak. He needs a better hairdo.

Uncanny Counter 2 was very poorly written. The storyline was OK, but the characters continually did totally ridiculous things. For example, you would never stop in the middle of a fight to tend to a fallen comrade, you finish the fight first so you can safely attend to the injured person. It would be bad enough to make that mistake once, but to never learn from your mistake and do it every time is just plain stupidity. The attempt to inject humor into the storyline was also very poorly done. The new counter was a worthless idiot and should have been taken back to the farm where he could have been happy playing with his cows. I did make it to the end of the season but I feel dumber for having watched the series.

This is a hidden gem and Netflix needs to make sure there is a season 2. The characters and the story line is all awesome

So good! Well written and superb acting! Everyone was well cast and played their roles to a T! I really liked the interspersed humor. I would love to see another season of this!
Edit: season 2 was a train wreck. Like others have pointed out, it was very badly written. I highly recommend skipping season 2 altogether. Let's hope there won't be a season 3.

Season 1 was good but coming to season 2 the storyline is getting too draggy. So many scenes where there were good opportunities to capture the villians but it always turned into a silly-scene with the good parties being caught up. I feel that it can be better in a way that the good parties are not naive. Too many repeated scenes of such mentioned makes the whole season too bored. It should be portrayed in a more situated thinking with common sense. The interest of watching it has been dropping towards the new season, not very looking forward to the next episode. Probably gonna be the bad guy making the good guy look stupid and then the good guy got reminded of the past, his friends, his family, all the good old times and become goku and wiped them out. Cmon, it can be better.

The over dramatic acting and constant whining and crying of the lead actor So Moon ruins the whole show.
