This Korean drama is not a love story

Let's admit it, most of the Korean dramas we watch are love stories. There's something about love that makes our heart flutter and gives us good vibes and positive energy. Some of our favorites are "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo," "Strong Woman Bong-soon," Crash Landing On You" and "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?"

But right now, our favorite is not a love story but a fantasy drama called "The Uncanny Counter."

"The Uncanny Counter" is the story of demon hunters called Counters who are disguised as employees of a noodle restaurant where people line up for hours to eat. Each Counter has a very interesting back story. One is a student who has been bullied at school and whose parents died in an accident. The other was a detective who used to work with the student’s father.

“The Uncanny Counter” stars Jo Bong-gyu, Se-jeong, Yoo Jun-sang and Choi Yoon-young. The story is the typical battle between good and evil but "The Uncanny Counter" is so action-packed plus the chemistry of the four leads is undeniable.
