Story: Yung/Afterlife politics and real world politics don't gel thus giving this drama a feel that it's 2 unrelated dramas awkwardly stitched together. You can feel the 2 fighting for supremacy instead of complementing each other. Unfortunately, dire real world got the upper hand.

Acting: The Counter set does commendable job and their chemistry is palatable. Jo Byung-gye is the cutest actor ever and such a star presence so watch out for him. But the unsung MVP is Lee Hong-nae as the tortured baddy with a fabulous six-pack. His unusual face framed with a hoodie is the most iconic thing about this show. It's OTT politicians and sedated Yungsters that dock the acting points, however.

Music: Main theme is catchy from the first hearing and goes really well with Counters superhero posturing.

Rewatch value: Low given the drop in quality but Shirtless Shin (episode 16) deserves a freeze frame.

Overall: This drama wanted to be several things that didn't have any real connection. Evil spirits just randomly moved into high powered people without an attempt to harness the power for world domination or something. Which rendered the boring political plot pointless and swapping Shin for Evil Mayor as the big bad hurt the last batch of episodes. Still, finale delivered some genuine emotional beats thanks to Counter cast likability that never faltered even when the writing did. I will not return for Season 2, however, since Season 1 finale does a good job with wrapping everything up.
