Jo Byung-kyu gives his Counter Punch in The Uncanny Counter 2

by tccolb

Our superpowered demon hunters have returned, moving from OCN to tvN for the fantasy’s second season, titled The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch. This time, the team has grown from four to five and we get our first peek in the colorful new poster and accompanying video teaser.

Reprising the central role as the once-underdog So Moon, Jo Byung-kyu (Stove League) is now an experienced hero alongside his teammates and the teaser jumps straight into the action as they fight to save another day.

In the sequence, we also see Kim Se-jung (Today’s Webtoon) back as our “radar” Do Hana, together with Yoon Joon-sang’s (Alchemy of Souls) super strong Ga Mo-tak, as well as the team’s healer Choo Mae-ok – played by Yeom Hye-ran (The Glory).

The appearing text screen rallies the group, declaring that, “The battle hasn’t ended — let’s go catch demons again.” As if speaking to the audience, we then hear Moon in voiceover: “We’re sorry we’re late. You must have waited a long time.”

Closing the teaser with another action-packed sequence, we finally get our chance to see the story’s new demon villains: an icy Kim Hieora (The Glory) and the always great Kang Ki-young (Extraordinary Attorney Woo) – even if he’s evil. (I almost didn’t recognize them!)

Although they’re not featured in the teaser, we can’t forget Yoo In-soo (The Good Bad Mother), who will be joining the superheroes as their new rookie Na Jeok-bong, and Jin Seon-gyu (Behind Every Star), who plays a passionate firefighter named Ma Joo-seok.

With production continuing under PD Yoo Sun-dong (Vampire Prosecutor 2) and writer Kim Sae-bom, tvN’s The Uncanny Counter 2 will be returning to our screens this July.
