The Uncanny Counter is an action-filled drama, having both emotional and light-hearted moments.

I really liked the relationships between the Counters. They're a found family - they bicker and banter, but in the end they have each other's backs. I wish the show explored more about their partners in Yung. I liked Mae-ok's backstory about her son, which played a big role in the communication between Yung and the Counters. I felt like Ha-na and her partner rarely got any screen time, so I'm not that sure about their relationship. I really liked Mo-tak's backstory and his involvement in the police force. I think it really gave more depth to his character. My favourite thing was how So Mun didn't abandon his friends the moment he gained his Counter powers. He still stands up for them and hangs out with them, which was really sweet. A shame he has to hide a lot of what he does, but at least there are people who care.

I really enjoyed the first half of the show, but after episode 12, the plot really began to drag on. There was a lot of unnecessary exposition and the show seemed to lose its direction in the second half. I really didn't like how they randomly introduced a character only to kill him off half an hour later. It seemed like the show writers were trying to elongate the show just for the sake of it. I read that they had to change writers halfway through filming, so that could have contributed to this problem.

Overall, this show is definitely worth watching. Although it does get a bit boring and strays away from its roots, the emotional finale makes up for it.
