Ha Yoon Kyung shares her experience playing a complex character in Gangnam B-Side
tvN's upcoming drama The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch has been making buzz ever since it was announced for release. And to add to the excitement, the production team released two posters, featuring the protagonists and the antagonists of the drama.
The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch follows the story of the Counters, a group of demon hunters who, with even stronger powers and a recruit, take on the increasingly menacing evil spirits on Earth. Based on the popular webtoon with over 160 million views, The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch series incorporates dynamic action, exhilarating demon-hunting adventures, and an intriguing mix of humor and suspense.
The released teaser posters feature the determined Counters: So Moon (Cho Byeong Kyu), Ga Mo Tak (Yoo Joon Sang), Do Ha Na (Kim Se Jeong), Chu Mae Ok (Yeom Hye Ran), Choi Jang Mool (Ahn Suk Hwan), and the rookie Counter Na Jeok Bong (Yoo In Soo). Going head-to-head with them are the menacing evil spirits: Pil Kwang (Kang Ki Young), Gelly Berherd (Kim Hi Eo Ra), and Wong Yeok (Kim Hyun Wook).
The released posters have a riveting setting. The commanding presence of ace Counter So Moon and the formidable evil spirit Pil Kwang adds to the anticipation. Moreover, the vibrant ambiance of the Counters standing in their territory indicated by aurora lights is in stark contrast to the dark aura emanated by the evil spirits,
The text on the Counters' poster, "Dear Evil Spirits, are you prepared to be summoned?" challenge the evil spirits, whereas, the text on the evil spirits' poster, "The weakest are devoured first, that is fate" showcases their nefarious intentions.
What draws attention is the demons and Ma Joo Seok (Jin Seon Kyu), who face each other around the cracked ground. Joo Seok is walking towards them but doesn't stand amongst them and is surrounded by pitch-black darkness, piquing curiosity about whether he is among the good or the evil.
These teaser posters offer a visually stunning and suspenseful glimpse into the world of the Counters and the evil spirits. The updated costumes of the Counters, trading their red training suits for black ones, exude a stronger and more commanding air.
The Uncanny Counter Season 2: Counter Punch will premiere on July 29 on Netflix.
