The level of uniqueness in stories of Korean dramas have been eye-opening. People still like to give a general opinion about dramas from South-East Asia but there is no denying the creativity that goes into the making of the shows.
The Uncanny Counter is one of such stories that we are extremely excited to see. A drama show with a supernatural twist, The Uncanny Counter is based on the webtoon of the same name. Featuring a monster hunting story the show sounds pretty exciting.
According to the synopsis released by Netflix, "Based on a popular webtoon of the same title, The Uncanny Counter is a satisfying tale of superheroes who, when not hunting down obstinate evil spirits, toil in a noodle shop."
So, the noodle shop employees are also Counters who are tasked with hunting down demons looking to hide in the world of the living and live forever. The friends/hunting family manage their time between the shop and slaying down monsters in their spare time.
