When they announced a second season for The Uncanny Counter my first reaction was: "Yay!"
The second was: "Please don't fuck this up."

And in my opinion, they did an excellent job with this. The effects were good, the cinematography was on par and the ost SLAPPED just like in the first season. There are three points in particular that I want to talk about.

Writing Difference: I didn't know this when I started watching but there were pretty significant changes in the writers for this season and that difference is definitely noticeable. From the very first episode the dialogue felt slightly different and the way the villains were set up also felt very new. I've seen people say that they felt this was to the detriment of the show. Personally, I believe that if you're able to get that fact out of your mind, you can easily enjoy this new way of writing just as much as the first since the difference isn’t THAT big imo.

Characters: There are a bunch of new characters joining the original cast in this season and I enjoyed almost every addition. Na Jeok Bong fits into the team perfectly and I thoroughly enjoyed Ma Ju Seok's character and his journey. I love Kang Ki Young as an actor, but Hwang Pil Gwang was a villain I had to get used to. Ji Chung Sin was such a great antagonist in season 1 for his likeness to So Mun, something that Pil Gwang obviously lacks. He is very much just plainly evil without much reason, but it honestly didn't bother me much as I don't feel like every villain needs a sob story background. Some people are past redemption and allowed to be labelled just 'evil'. Furthermore, I really enjoyed the dynamic between the trio of evil spirits.

Love(possible spoilers incoming): And then we arrive at my one complaint about this season. So Mun and Ha Na's love story line that was hinted at continuously in season one, was just abandoned and a new love interest was introduced. Do Hwi was fine as a love interest, but I really expected Ha Na and So Mun to at least get some development in this season. But there wasn't even a hint at jealousy on So Mun's part when Do Hwi entered the picture. It’s like they expected us to just ignore that he clearly had feelings for her in season one. I can agree that Ha Na and Do Hwi's story line is cute, but this is just a case where my expectations were just horribly let down. What a waste of the chemistry we know Kim Se Jeong and Jo Byeong Gyu have.

Overall, this season was a success to me. I'm going to be honest and say I don't really anticipate a third season, nor am I hoping for one. This season tied up all the ends neatly for me.
