Vânătorii de Demoni (2020)

THE BEST ACTION DRAMA

I reaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyyy enjoyed this drama.
First, the story. The story was so good and every week it made me sooooo excited and I would wake up early for this. I don't wanna spoil so I won't tell you the story you can read the summary in the section above the reviews so...
The acting was amazing. I was surprised by the ML and his acting. I haven't watched his previous dramas but I know this is his best drama. Every character in the drama was so good and their acting matched up very well.
The music isn't that catchy but it made me hype up and get emotional and ya...
I would DEFINITELY watch this again. Probably with my family next time.
I hope this will make you watch the drama :)

Funny but yet emotional

I really loved the moment when I could laugh but also moments when I cried my eyes off. The story was interesting but sometimes I was bored when the fighting scenes was up. It was sometimes too long but it was okay because storyline brought something new and entertaining after a few boring scenes . For me it is a series worthy to watch.
About cast in my opinion no one would be better for the characters. I really enjoyed the father son dynamic and also the not so romantic romantic relationship. You will feel like you are part of that weird group and that is another plus in this series.

Inizio col botto, per poi fermarsi a metà strada

Ero indecisa su che voto dare a questo drama. Da un lato per me visto l'argomento supernatural parte benissimo, tutto convincente buon ritmo begli attori e tutti bravi. Poi alla fine dell'episodio 9 tutto si blocca, il ritmo cala, le scene si ripetono e accadono cose senza senso o spiegazione. Tipo perchè togliere i poteri a Mun proprio quando più guerrieri sarebbero necessari? Che mossa è? Anche perchè già sapevi che voleva vendicarsi così come Mo Tak, non è che è più violento di lui. Poi dell'amnesia falsa ne avrei fatto a meno. E se uno si vuol fingere morto magari non vive e fa riunioni nel locale dove è sempre stato no? Perchè i cattivi lo troverebbero facilmente no? E i cattivi perchè non hanno sciolto nell'acido o bruciato prima il cadavere? Perchè per combattere più demoni uniti non chiamano i counters di altre città? Perchè la gente ama il sindaco così appassionatamente anche dopo le varie denunce contro di lui? Perchè i nonni di Mun non si vedono più dopo l'episodio 9? Perchè mun può vedere un ultima volta i suoi genitori e Han na no? E la lista sarebbe lunghissima, buchi logici come se piovesse. E questo rovina la visione di un drama che invece come idea di partenza e primi episodi prometteva tanto. Mi ha comunque appassionato, ma finirlo è stata dura purtroppo.

The selling of noodles and catching evil spirits.

This drama is like no other, it's like watching Ghostbusters but it has even more than Ghostbusters offers. It's basic on a webtoon which I didn't watch but you don't need to have watched the webtoon to enjoy this drama. I watched this drama because it was popular and I was just going to watch it and see if it was as good as they said it was. And am not kidding because this has become one of my favorite dramas. It's not boring when you start to watch it or even after, all you could think of is I want more. This drama shares both action, thriller, comedy and it's very emotional ( the good kind of emotions). The acting the actors and actresses showed was beyond amazing it was the real thing. For me, this drama is a rewatch and highly recommended for all of you who want some action but yet fun drama. And let's talk about how cool so moon ( Jo Byung Kyoo) looked with the Perm and the new powers Omg what a sightful. The ace of the team.

Not Scary

This was not scary. Oh my goodness, I enjoyed this so much. The sad part about this drama was people died but then yet they went to check in for heaven or that place of fire. The actors who played the counters or demon hunters were warriors in protecting what they needed to protect and rid the city from Demons.

Jo Byung Kyoo, Yoo Joon Sang, Kim Se Jeong, Yeom Hye Ran, and Ahn Suk Hwan did very well in their roles as Demon Hunters, and can't see who did better acting than the others, they were all excellent. That big guy demon, OMG, the muscles on him are very well shaped! I won't say any more about him... lol but I will... that dude looked evil!

Everything in the production, set, and visuals, were good. I loved the Martial Arts in this. Anyway, just watch it. All 16 episodes are complete and on Netflix. The storyline, I applaud the writers! The ending was sad but also good.

Uncanny Counter

Two episodes in and I find myself wanting more. The first week's outing had a bit of everything, action, humor, fear, a sense of justice in the face of injustice, and, of course, evilness. It might only be the first episode, but I didn't want it to end as I was having so much fun. I love the concept of this drama. A group of ordinary humans turned super-beings, each for their ability to possess or be a unique power that helps a higher beings' quest to hunt demons who come to earth wanting immortality. I must say I loved seeing Kim Se Jong; she looks great, and so do Yoo Jun Sang, Yum Hye Ran, and Jo Byung Gyu. It's good to have JBG back.

There's no denying evil exists in this world, but the light will always conquer the darkness. This drama quickly became my happy place and besides Yoo Joon Sang, Im Joo Yeon Moon's best friend is my favorite persona. I love how endearing the story is in that it's not just about capturing evil spirits, but also about righting the wrongs of ordinary people along the way. As they say, evil lurks in places where one would never imagine to charm its way into one's life and one always needs uncanny counters to help combat if not completely irradicate them (if only possible). I am in love!

Making a great drama is simple

All you need to make a hit drama is good writing, great acting, and excellent production values. It helps if the music is good or at least not annoying. This drama ticks all the boxes, so much so that a person like me who fundamentally dislikes action dramas can find this to be the best offering so far this year. I looked forward to every episode and was never disappointed.
Yes, the premise is silly, as are all the demon hunter dramas. But the characters were so engaging - even the villains - that it was impossible to avoid getting caught up into who they were, what was happening to them and what they would do next. There were several touching stories about loss and love wrapped up in it, as well as friendship and redemption. It has everything you want in a drama - and maybe more bloodshed and violence, but that goes with the territory. Literally, if you've watched it and know what the territory is! This isn't for the faint of heart, and I'd exercise parental controls over younger kids. But it was a great ride.

Rock Solid Entertaining Series!

Either I have been extremely fortunate, or there is simply a treasure trove of K-dramas that I have had the pleasure of watching that have simply been superb! Series from "Mr. Sunshine," to "Descendants of the Sun" to "It's Okay to Not Be Okay," to "Crash Landing on You," to "Stranger" and on and on. I have been exposed to the very best that Korean television has had to offer, and I'm still leaving out many others.

On the surface, a viewer may look at this as a sort of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" type series where three individuals (which becomes four) run a Noodle restaurant, but on the side, they're catching demons, i.e. evil spirits. These people are called "Counters" as they are imbued with special, superhuman abilities from their "sponsors" or "counterparts" in Yung (a sort of staging area before moving on to "heaven."). To look at this series with those eyes is to short-change it dramatically.

Like nearly all great K-drama series, this series is driven by great, and even deep characterizations with a rich story that actually has something to say; how to deal with bullies, both within the school system as well as within the corporate world; those who would prey upon the weak and helpless.

Someone once said that evil tends to pervade when good people do nothing to stop it. Many consider this to be even worse than becoming "evil."

The story centers around Mun, a young high school boy who's suffered untold and unspeakable horrors by losing his parents in an accident and also the physical disabilities that are the result. And yet, he never hesitates to jump in and protect his friends and those who are "weak." Where most people would hesitate or not act at all, he doesn't even think about it. He simply acts. And while he can be impulsive and wears his emotions on his sleeve, he is essentially fearless when it comes to doing the right thing.

"The Uncanny Counter" is a testament to the ideal belief that even the smallest person can make a difference. Yes, the Counters have special powers, but they are also only four people going up against a system. Much like Superman who always finds himself in over-his-head against Lex Luthor...someone who uses the power of the system against him.

One of the things I love about K-dramas, is that they aren't afraid to allow their characters to demonstrate natural emotions. In this way, we are given deluge of deep, realistic, and relatable characters. We are also usually given something to really think about. In this series, we are presented with the idea that a person doesn't need to have special abilities or super powers in order to do the right thing; that, indeed, one person, no matter how small, can make a difference. It also conveys the truth that no one needs to stand alone. Bullies are cowards. All of them. And they are easily dealt with when people rally together to fight them.

All of the performances in this series are fantastically done. Characters that will make you laugh, sniffle, and evoke raw emotion. I suppose there is a reason why I'm far more into K-dramas right now than American shows, which no longer seem to provide me with stories and characters that speak to me. Instead, we're given a barrage of CGI, wooden characters that have virtually no depth at all.

A binge-fest! Sejeong!

If you were with me, I'd probably be telling you how I binged this in 2 days.

Please view my bio for the standards for a 10/10 drama.

Let's dissect the story first. It had an amazing plot, but of course, it DID piss me off once or twice. The rules to being stripped of your counter powers were so vague. Also, the plot played around with the characters lives (killing them and then bringing them back to life) with no solid reasoning behind it. Finally, the last thing that pissed me off was that they centered everything around Mun wanting to say something to his dead parents.

The cast was good. So Moon, the character, lowkey pisses me off because he just *snaps* me out of the "drama trance." If you don't know what that is, it's a terms (that I may or may not have invented) which describes when you are so into a drama, the actors don't give a vibe that they are acting. The way he exerts his fury just *snaps* me out of it. There was an odd balance of comedic relief among the main characters though; Chu Mae Ok/Ga Mo Tak/Choi Jang Mool being the comedic relief and Do Ha-Na and So Moon being the seriousness. That made it resemble a webdrama, which is what it is. I honestly came to support Sejeong but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the drama. Most of the actors and actresses perfectly fit their role.

Since most of it is action, it would not have a high rewatch value. Lastly for music, Sejeong sung one of the OSTs. This makes me really happy as I love when the actors of the drama sing one or more of the OST tracks.

Overall, I WOULD RECCOMEND if you are more of an action fanatic. P.S. I am not a big fan of heavily action-based dramas.

SQUAD GOALS FIGHTING EVIL!!!!!

This drama is a hidden gem. Before diving into the plot, the SQUAD GOALS ARE REAL and honestly i don't even care about anything else. The interactions and bond between the counters made this drama 1000x better than it already was. Not to mention the badasss music that plays when the squad rolls up to beat the crap out of some evil spirits. ALSO TRUCK-KUN is part of the cast and my favourite character tbh

The story is nothing special however, we all love badass male characters that level up during important times and suddenly become stronger. Well that happens often in this drama.......I must say the ending wasn't as clean as it should be but they're GIVING US SEASON 2 so i ain't even complaining. This drama is wholesome and an emotional rolleroaster at the same time.

I was hooked almost immediately. Stories within a story, lacing together. Suspense, violent action, nasty bullies, vengeance, abusive childhoods, friendship, loss, trust, love, tears and laughs. It's all here.
No character is perfect, but so many are more than likeable, flaws and all. The baddies really are evil.
So Moon, Mo Tak and Ha Na probably develop the most as the series progresses. One matures, one is able to find themselves and reconnect, and another is able to face up to a guilt ridden past and open themselves up again.
Ji Chung Shin was a character I couldn't help but feel for. Vulnerable to manipulation and a harrowing past, I didn't feel at all guilty about wishing he could somehow be redeemed and freed of his demons.
I also loved the OST, with tracks from the brilliant Isaac Hong, Dvwn and Sejeong.
I will definitely watch this again and eagerly anticipate series 2. Do NOT let us down, Netflix!
