The Uncanny Counter: trailer and plot
While it seems like a familiar superhero story, fans of the show are loving the different personalities and backstories of the squad and the bond they share. It’s like you’re getting the same crime-fighting family vibes as the K-drama Taxi Driver except supernatural elements have been sprinkled into the mix.
Ready to meet the team and their new opponents? We’ve rounded up seven Season 2 cast members who are making the series one fun and wild ride.
The Uncanny Counter Season 2 cast
1. Kim Sejeong as Do Ha-na
Do Ha-na’s character knows how to pack a punch (and take one too). Aside from this, she has the ability to see the memories of a person with a single touch. This also comes with the power to erase a person’s memories.
2. Jo Byung-gyu as So Mun
Jo Byung-gyu plays the role of So Mun who is the “maknae” (meaning youngest member) of the crew. He possesses super speed and telekinesis and has the ability to sense danger by summoning the “territory” or the vibrant, colourful energy field which helps make the Counters’ powers stronger.
3. Yeom Hye-ran as Chu Mae-ok
Yeom Hye-ran plays the role of Chu Mae-ok, a chef slash Counter with healing abilities. She’s like the motherly figure of the group.
4. Kim Hieora as Gelly Choi
She takes on another villainous character named Gelly Choi, an evil spirit who eats off the soul of a Counter. Her powers not only include super speed but she can now access and erase other people’s memories (like Do Ha-na).
5. Kang Ki-young as Hwang Pil-gwang
But in this series, Kang Ki-young plays the chilling character of Hwang Pil-gwang, a demon leader who fed from a Counter with telekinesis (same as So Mun).
It’s always a thrilling showdown with these new evil spirits around, and you’ll love tuning in to how the Counters will grow too.
6. Yoo In-soo as Na Jeok-bong
This guy seems to be popping up everywhere lately. You might have seen him as the annoying bully in All of Us Are Dead, the troublemaker in The Good Bad Mother, or the loyal lover in Alchemy of Souls.
In the second season of The Uncanny Counter, he plays the role of Na Jeok-bong, a naive country boy who gets recruited into the squad. He’s still adjusting to his newfound powers (he can sniff out evil spirits) so you can expect him to bring a lot of comedic moments to the show.
7. Yoo Jun-sang as Ga Mo-tak
Talk about a family reunion. Veteran actor Yoo Jun-sang played the role of Yoo In-soo’s uncle in Alchemy of Souls and now they’re back in action and fighting against the villains in The Uncanny Counter Season 2.
Yoo Jun-sang plays the role of Ga Mo-tak, a Counter who might look tough on the outside with his superhuman strength but is really a softie on the inside.
