Family by Choice and Face Me's ratings drop
Ahead of its premiere, The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch released character posters and teasers that provide a glimpse into the specialized skills and combat prowess of the six counters: So Moon (Cho Byeong Kyu), Ga Mo Tak (Yoo Joon Sang), Do Ha Na (Kim Se Jeong), Chu Mae Ok (Yeom Hye Ran), Choi Jang Mool (Ahn Suk Hwan) and the rookie Counter Na Jeok Bong (Yoo In Soo).
Directed by Yoo Seon Dong, and the screenplay written by Kim Sae Bom, The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch continues the thrilling adventure of the Counters (demon hunters), who have grown stronger with upgraded powers and the addition of a rookie counter. Together, they take on the growing evil forces that threaten humanity.
In season 2, So Moon (Cho Byeong Kyu) has evolved from a trainee to a telekinesis master. His words, "As the enemies grow stronger, we must also become stronger", affirm that he is not stopping at anything to face the formidable demons. Notably, the telekinetic abilities of the demon Pil Kwang (Kang Ki Young) are similar to So Moon's powers, setting the stage for an electrifying showdown between the two characters.
Ga Mo Tak (Yoo Joon Sang), with his sharp gaze and unwavering determination, showcases his perseverance to take down evil spirits at all costs. His awe-inspiring strength, capable of obliterating demons with a single punch, raises expectations for the devastating blows he will deliver.
Meanwhile, Do Ha Na (Kim Se Jeong) embarks on rigorous training, guided by So Moon's advice to feel the evil spirits not only with her eyes but also with her body. Her statement, "If the number of demons challenging the counters increases, the battles will be entirely different", hints that Counters will fight without compromise. Furthermore, the supernatural ability of the demon Gelly, similar to Do Ha Na's psychometry, ignites anticipation for the intense clash between the two.
Chu Mae Ok (Yeom Hye Ran) returns as a healer who offers comforting warmth to good people. Her exceptional role in rescuing souls trapped within demons, and the importance of her powers, as stressed by Ga Mo Tak, "If Ms. Chu wasn't there, people here would have died long ago", cannot be overlooked. Her encouraging words, "We will do it somehow and we will do it well", uplift the spirits of the counters. Furthermore, curiosity is piqued about the significance of the "child from 9 years ago" as Chu Mae Ok's weakness and what lies behind that story.
On the other hand, Choi Jang Mool (Ahn Suk Hwan), though potentially lacking in speed and power compared to other counters but owns assets worth 1 trillion, boldly asserts, "I will never be outmatched when it comes to equipment". Anticipation grows for Chairman Choi Jang Mool's return to action and his upcoming demon-eradication feats.
Lastly, the veil has been lifted from the newcomer counter, Na Jeok Bong's (Yoo In Soo) abilities. His power is a heightened sense of smell that allows him to track demons. The dedication of Na Jeok Bong to risk his own life for the sake of others creates a sense of expectation and admiration.
The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch will premiere on July 29 on Netflix.
