Entre nouilles et démons 2 (2023)

Pues por fin la vi!!
La verdad es que no es nada muy diferente a la primera temporada y a mi me gustó porque es lo que esperaba, me hubiera resultado raro ver algo totalmente diferente.
Algo que sí me ha gustado mucho es que, en la primera temporada, dije que la acción de verdad tardaba mucho en llegar y estaba centrada en el final de la serie. Sin embargo, en esta temporada al no tener que tener capítulos de presentación de historia, la acción de verdad comienza desde el principio y por eso tampoco se te hace aburrido.
Algo que no me gustó, o bueno, me sacó mucho de la historia, fue el protagonista. Ok, estamos todos de acuerdo que So Mun es el protagonista de la historia y que el universo ha decidido entregarle todos los poderes del mundo y que todo gira en torno a él, vale, eso ya de por sí no me gustó mucho, porque sentí que en la primera temporada todo estaba mucho más equitativo. Sin embargo, lo que no me gustó mucho fue que este hecho ha hecho que presenten al protagonista con una actitud totalmente diferente como un poco chulo o creído y con aires de héroe. No me suelen gustar los héroes que saben que lo son y disfrutan de serlo, no se si me explico, pero bueno, eso me sacó un poco y no me gustó.
Y otra cosa es que los personajes nuevos le dan un aire fresco a la historia sin embargo, la verdad es que esperaba mucho más del nuevo cazador. Me ha gustado mucho porque es el elemento cómico principalmente, pero sí que esperaba que fuera más principal de lo que ha sido.

Their growth from season 1 was really showed during season 2

From season 1 where they battled their most powerful enemy, a level 3 if I'm not mistaken, they showed some growth. They adopted psychokinesis to their fighting style and it improved it. Season 2 showed very powerful enemies and the plot really navigated the story really well. From revenge to salvation, it shows that people despite succumbing to a blinding path of revenge have some humanity remaining deep within their soul and that helped the ML in overcoming their dangerous situation. The new member elevates their overall capabilities since he can detect evil spirits despite not having the territory.

A total waste of a masterpiece

Season 1 got me hooked up on these counter things. S1 was made very well and garnered a lot potential. It’s just a shame that S2 failed to meet pur expectations. Otherwise, these could have been a a great series like even the characters will get to changed,it will still be liked since it’s all about being a counter and fighting evil spirits. S2 made those evil spirits almost as powerful as the counters in S1 even more since Mr.Ma can even read/see then from the territory. These could have been fine if they made the counters a lot more powerful (gaining additional unique individual powers) and smart too (with their past experiences fighting the #1 evil spirit in S1- Sin and a more years of training). But to our dismay, they made them appears as "can’t win a fight unless with Mun" . They made Mo-tak (power:super strength in s1) seem to be an ordinary counter in s2. They could have just retained his super strength as powerful as Mun, the only difference is Mun has a lot more additional powers like psychokinesis,agility,etc. OR if they want to show that Mun is the most powerful counter, instead of weakening the other counters,they could have made the counters a lot more powerful on their powers + additional unique powers then made Mun possess all their powers too. Then the character of the newbie counter was a total flopped. He was made like a sniffing dog. How wonderful it is if Jeong's power is a quick sense of smell(he can tell if it’s level 1,2 3 4) + he can travel in a lightning speed (or the power to communicate with animals)? Then Mun can summon the territory keeps moving towards the smell ,then Hana can see what's in there (better if Hana can now also see the past by sensing a certain place).

I was actually excited to watch the S2 but im sorry but i had to skip from ep.7 to the final episode. But just in case they'll make a S3 either with the same characters or new set of counters, they I'll still definitely give it a try to watch. Fighting evil spirits is unending, so this Uncanny Counter has a very high potential for a great number of series.

Disappointing sequel

If you are like me and you went in to this season right after finishing the first season than you most likely also feel like you picked up a completely different show. This season does not feel like the previous season; especially if you are going in to right after watching the first and it is fresh in your mind. If you are picking this up after having seen the first season when it first came out then you might find it more enjoyable.

If you are coming into this season hoping to feel the magic of the first then you'll be disappointed like I was. The first season did an excellent job of setting up the plot and characters that you kept you bound to the screen. The characters all had depth and their own stories that made them all endearing to you as a viewer. The main plot was well thought out and executed with the subplots contributing well to the overall picture. While So Mun is the main character and you do find yourself attached to him and his story the writing for the other characters was also done very well all the way down to the side characters that had little screen time. I rate dramas based on my enjoyment and season 1 kept me captivated from the first episode and I never wanted to fast forward through any part of the show which is very common for me to do in kdramas.

This second season however ignores many of the rules that were established in the first season while also abandoning the original character profiles for the main cast. The characters are supposed to be 2 years older in this season and obviously SO Mun has grown both mentally and his powers have also grown quite a bit. The writers firstly did not do a good job of explaining the power growth as it does not feel very reminiscent of the first season. While psychokinesis was touched on last season, this season it is now in every move all the characters make, even the villains, making the production feel more cartoonish and over the top. This season is also more about the villains from the very first episode to every episode after that. The villains are also made to be the evil version of the counters and while villains are not meant to be likeable these are downright obnoxious to watch. They get so much screen time but no backstory or explanation for how or why they are doing the things they are. Even Mr. Ma became more powerful so quickly that it did not make sense based on the rules you previously understood in season 1. While the first season made you feel like these people could actually exist, this season has turned them into super heroes instead. The humbleness that you felt in all the characters before is no longer present. The addition of the comedic relief new counter just leaves you frustrated any time he is on the screen instead of finding him funny.

I wouldn't recommend you watch and just let the end of season 1 be the end for you.

Dropped it after watching second episode

this is not related to 1st season
the main character is different Mun from dickless dimension
Mun moved on from his crush on HANA because his dick got chopped off while jerking off

and he become a cheap copy of Superman without dick.
he is so powerful that he moved on without any reason.
HANA is now like his sister, who stare at there sisters butt in season one, of that Mun isn't this mOOn

Most of Korean drama confuse sister and girlfriend because OPPA is used for both husband and brother
DO the don't know the difference between brother and boyfriend or they don't have a word for brother because to them both are same

This is so disappointing. I'm heartbroken that I have to drop this.

The Uncanny Counter is proudly one of the best k-dramas I've watched and I even recommend it to everyone that asks but this Season 2 is utterly disappointing. The depth from Season 1 is just gone out of the window. The characters also kind of downgraded from their complex back stories from Season 1, they became a boring backdrop. It doesn't even feel like a team fight than they first started. Jeokbong became a laughing mascot. Like wth? I heard the writer changed but this is super sad and disappointing. I think I'd rather read the webtoon version than finishing this.

This is is one of the rare instance of me having to drop a series because the story is getting draggy and I just know there's a low chance of it getting better. But I am hoping I'd pick this up again in the future and possibly give it a second chance.

Not on Par with the Prequel

Keeping up with its popular first edition, “The Uncanny Counter Season 2” truly packs a punch with upgraded versions of both the protagonists and antagonists. With evil spirits pooping right and left, our favorite gang of Counters have been training their psychokinesis skills, under the able leadership of So Moon. The show has been in making for almost three years and is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated releases in 2023. With a casting that is comparatively bigger than the prequel, “The Uncanny Counter Season 2” delivers on its promise of some exciting demon hunting coupled with the effervescent familial love that is so typical of this show. Doing a short rehash of the prequel, The Uncanny Counter (adapted from the webtoon “Amazing Rumor” (경이로운 소문) by Jang Yi (장이) describes the story of evil spirit hunting heroes who are known as Counters. Each of them have different abilities and they are paired with their afterlife counterparts who exist in Yung (the boundary between the afterlife and the world of the living). The first season was well received and as such, the anticipation for the sequel has been building since then.

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.

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
