A la Caza de Espíritus Malignos 2 (2023)

You just need a different oerspective to understand the writer and the cast or the plot.

So it was a great watch to me.Unlike other reviews ,my review is little different and you might find it off the track.So So Mun in the first season was fighting his own battles and that is what held the story more and as there were more dangerous humans than evil spirits,it was always So Mun and the counters having the plus point and that is why season 2 was important.As there is no plot regarding the college life of So Mun,the story will be considered draggy due to thewhole focus tied on evil spirits.And as there are more evil humans possessed by evil spirits ,that is what make them stronger and put counters at the negative point.Therecan be no comparison of te both season,as the whole situation and whole plot is way different in both the seasons,the fight in the first one is physically intriguing but the fight in the second one is mentally remarkable and commendable.And as it contains the darker element,the mental or the fight within oneself is the more justifiable upcoming plot after season 1.It was a great watch and understandable efforts made it more powerful.

Unwanted Chitchats, Poor Reasoning: Not Recommended for Logic-Sensitive Viewers!

Stupidity at its peak. The main leads engage in chitchat or look at each other when the enemy is nearby, resulting in the enemy conveniently escaping or taking hostages. Despite having 10 years of experience, the main leads, who are wounded in a scene, casually move towards the enemy or engage in casual chitchats. I don't know how I watched the first season; I'm not sure if it was this stupid. Basically, all these grown men with enough combat experience just engage in chitchat or have badass moments or dialogues when in combat.

I'm currently on the 4th episode, and despite the leads being frustratingly foolish and dragging the show down with their mistakes, I plan to finish it since I've already started.

Also, it's kind of weird to have only 5 or 6 demon hunters per country. By the way, it's not the biggest issue; the above chitchats were way more annoying and stupid than this. In a somewhat similar show called 'Tomorrow', they had a large organization with many employees. However, in Uncanny Counter, there are only a few demon hunters for each country, which seems really weird and stupid. I think this would be better suited for new viewers or for kids, or for someone who doesn't think too much and can ignore these issues while watching.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone sensitive to logic and reasoning, specifically regarding the leads' thinking capacity. I'm not referring to the logic behind the fantasy, but rather the main leads' IQ and their ability to understand when to engage in chitchats and when not to. If you enjoyed Season 1 and want to watch this, I suggest checking out a recap or the story of Season 2 instead. It might be better than wasting time on this series unless you have no other shows to watch.

(Note: The graphics were good, though.)

Update:
It was unwatchable i completed this series by fast forwarding. So, final verdict not recommended.

What a let down

I can’t say much about other people’s opinions but I’m pretty sure some people are just rating everything 10.

I liked the first season. There was an awkward charm to the show, especially, while the main character was becoming a counter. The new season has no charm. They, obviously, tried hard to be cool and edgy but ended up just being cheesy and angsty. The main villains… major sigh.

The new addition to the counter was downright annoying to watch. I get that he’s a country bumpkin and he’s new but he was so whiny and stupid, it was hard to watch. This has to be a career killer for the actor. It’s a shame.

Trying to one up a popular season must be hard and I empathize but I’m not feeling it for this season.

BEST SHOW EVER

I LOVE THIS, WE WAITED FOR SEASON 2 FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. IT'S SO GOOD AND THE ACTORS HAVE GROWN SO MUCH AND THEY FEEL LIKE FAMILY. I REWATCHED SEASON ONE 6 TIMES AND THERE IS NO DOUBT I'LL REWATCH THIS SEASON ALSO. THE PLOT, THE ACTING, AND THE FILMING ARE JUST IMMACULATE AND THEY CAN'T BE TOPPED. THE STORY IS TOP-TIER AND HASN'T BEEN DONE BEFORE. IT'S NOT CRINGEY AND IT'S FUNNY AND SERIOUS AT THE SAME TIME. THEY KNOW HOW TO BALANCE THE EPISODES AND IT'S JUST SATISFYING. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS JUST PERFECT. I DON'T THINK ANY SHOW CAN TOP IT AT ALL

One of the best kdrama I’ve seen so far!!

First of all, the acting is absolutely impressive and the way they’re all so implied in the story it makes it even more suspending! Every single episode is worth to watch and it shows how the characters progress together, the power of their friendship and how they grow even more powerful each day.
Secondly, every single character has an important role in the serie and everyone is special in their own ways, I like the fact that every character has a different but special personality that belongs to them only, it’s something I can’t really explain but if you guys watched the whole serie you’ll understand. Hoping for season 3??

Power of Faith and Redemption!

Once again, “The Uncanny Counter 2” does not fail to disappoint. While I feel that the first season was stronger overall, the second season is solid and a lot of fun as the counters take on new evils and new challenges.

The first season had more of a mystery and thriller element to the story, which actually made for more captivating and taut storytelling. This season’s themes are about faith, trust, and redemption.

Things start off when three high-powered evil spirits slaughter the Chinese counters and take their powers and abilities. Psychokinesis is one of the prevailing skills, and So Mun—who is the only counter to master this ability—is trying to teach his teammates with hilarious results. Uncanny Counter still has plenty of humorous moments, especially from Mo-Tak.

So Mun is not only the most powerful counter, he also seems to have taken on the leadership role of the team. So Mun’s greatest strength is his unswerving faith in people and never giving up on them even under the most dire circumstances. In short, So Mun doesn’t hesitate to act even when the odds are stacked against him, even from Yung itself.

Do Ha-Na is a bit more loose in this season. She smiles a bit more, perhaps because she was finally able to let go of her past from the first season. Do Ha-Na also finds a potential love interest, but her strength is to be with and protect others at all costs. She painfully puts her love interest’s livelihood above her own desires, and when Mo-Tak storms off, she goes with him even though she doesn’t agree with his decision. “I’ll never leave any of you alone,” she tells him.

Ms. Chu, of course, is the caring, nurturing teammate, and she also meets up with a young man from her past with the hopes of helping him.

Mo-Tak is still the fierce warrior of the team who has no “quit” in him, and there are some tense moments between him and So Mun. And Mo-Tak can always be relied upon for some of the funniest moments.

Jeok Bong is the newest member of the team. He’s a bit goofy and his “special” ability is to literally smell evil spirits and being able to track them down. I’ll admit that it’s an odd thing, and I believe is played more for laughs as Jeok Bong is often seen with his head out of the car window—much like a dog—sniffing the air.

This season sees a beloved friend in Ma Ju Seok, whose beautiful, young pregnant wife is murdered by the three evils spirits. Absolutely distraught and overcome with grief, Ma Ju Seok swears revenge. His rage is so consuming that he unwittingly opens himself up for possession by a truly sadistic spirit. It doesn’t take long for Ma Ju Seok to begin wreaking havoc as he tries to track down anyone and everyone responsible for his wife’s death. Even his beloved friends, the counters, are warned to stay out of his way or face the consequences.

Hwang Pil Gwang is the leader of the evil spirits whose sole purpose is to kill So Mun and steal his powers to add them to his own. He manipulates Ma Ju Seok by sending him off in the wrong direction to seek his vengeance.

Sometimes the monster created is far worse than the despair we feel due to the loss of a loved one. The Chinese saying, “Before seeking revenge, you must first dig two graves” is especially poignant here. We can understand, and perhaps even relate to Ma Ju Seok’s grief and rage, but he’s so blinded and consumed by revenge, that he threatens to destroy everything that his beloved wife stood for. I found it interesting that nobody attempted to tell him this; he was destroying his wife's memory and their love. Would she really have approved of his actions? Of course not.

As Ma Ju Seok continues to gain in power—mostly due to Hwang Pil Gwang’s influence, the counters are forced to ask the hard question: do they try to save Ma Ju Seok, or kill him? Even Yung believes that Ma Ju Seok must be eliminated, and for a time, So Mun stands alone because he still believes that Ma Ju Seok can be redeemed. And, of course, So Mun finds a way to do the unthinkable and the uncanny, and thus live up to his namesake. In short, it is So Mun’s faith in the goodness of his friend, that ultimately saves Ma Ju Seok.

There are plenty of tense action sequences and several that put you on the edge of your seat because you couldn’t help wondering if we might lose one of the counters. We’ve all come to love these characters, from their humorous moments to the obvious love and devotion that they feel for each other, to learning how to overcome their differences and obstacles in order to work together. Such is the hallmark of a true family.

Best kdrama оf 2023!!

I waited for season two for 3 years but the wait was worth it!! Great drama! Season two was quite different from season one, but it was still great! This time the villains were much more evil than season one! Byung Kyu's (Soo Moon) hair was wow! This season we saw a complete glow up on the counters! Soo Moon is no longer a child, but the ace of the counters! And the OST of the drama is much better than last season's OST! Awesome music! and the fact that Cho Byеоng Kyu did most of the action stunts himself is just phenomenal! All the action scenes are brutally cool much better than season one! Great kdrama! I will definitely watch it again and again! Highly recommend!

best show

one of my fav kdramas. i watched season 1 when it first came out a few years ago and have been waiting for season two ever since. this show is definitely a kdrama to watch i definitely recommend. the character development is so good. so many people are mad that they make it out that every counter is weak aside from mun but i definitely feel like that adds such a strong bounding to the show as he wasn’t very confident to start with and he had a lot going on in season two (Remember guys he is the MAIN character of the show)

people also tend to find the new counter annoying, personally i think he is adorable and he deserves so much love. his power may be dumb however it has helped them find so many more evil spirits due to them figuring out how to avoid the territory.

he definitely adds a lot to the team.


please watch if you haven’t!

Buenísima

Esta temporada fue muy divertida! Volvimos a ver a los personajes con los mismos actores y a los nuevos que fueron un gran aporte en esta segunda parte.
No le pongo un 10 porque si hubieron cosas que se extrañaron de la 1era temporada, mucho enfoque a los mismos villanos se hacía un poco más de lo mismo en los capítulos (a pesar de que las peleas eran muy buenas) y cosas que mostraban pero no las cerraban del todo (como la historia de DoHana) pero aún así no le quita lo entretenida. A pesar de todo, si deseo que haya otra temporada. La historia puede dar para más.

WE CAN DO IT

Que saudades que eu estava dessa família! Não achei que essa temporada superou a primeira, não me prendeu tanto quando a anterior mas foi boa!
So Mun sempre sendo um querido, amei ele nessa temporada mais "maduro" e gostoso haha. Hana minha personagem favorita, conseguimos ver outra versão dela, eu amei, apesar do meu ship ser hana e mun, foi lindo vê-la em um breve quase romance com o pianista. Achei a adição do Jeok Bong um surto coletivo, não faz tanta diferença pra historia, só trás um ar cômico pra série, não me cativou. O restante da familia, Mo Tak, ajumma e o sr. choi sempre uns queridos!
No quesito de vilões, eles arrasaram, fizeram uns vilões incrivelmente horríveis!

The first ever mistake in it was cho byeong kyu's late entry which gives the audience a feel that they were shooting first season and some actors Yeom Hye Ran, Kim Se Jeong, and Yoo Joon Sang acted their worst and not best like there was some kind of competition going in for them to see who's gonna performe worst.

And the most infuriating thing that made me drop it was Korean actors trying to speak in Chinese with their worst accent ever like they didn't even try to improve.

They should have either hired Chinese actors or the Korean actors should have spoken in Korean without trying to force Chinese language and accent. Even their acting was bad accent aside.
