Introducing the big bads for tvN’s The Uncanny Counter 2

by tccolb

In a swift triple punch, tvN’s Uncanny Counter 2 delivered a round of character promos this week, focusing first on the big bad collector’s set with Jin Seon-gyu (Behind Every Star), Kang Ki-young (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), and Kim Hieora (The Glory).

In fairness, our “Revenger” Joo-seok (Jin Seon-gyu) is more of a wild card and we don’t quite know which way he’ll swing with his good/evil index split right down the middle. As a firefighter, he once saved the life of our hero So Moon – played by Jo Byung-kyu (Stove League) – and the teaser shows us how their forged bond continued, with a spirited Joo-seok volunteering alongside the superhero team.

Joo-seok’s wife had also hoped that their baby will be kind and warm-hearted, just like dad. But their family happiness is tragically cut short and Joo-seok’s dormant powers are awakened as he vows to never forgive what happened. Chasing after the perpetrators, he attacks them in full force and his teaser ends with Joo-seok’s demands to know the real truth.

Despite Joo-seok’s powers, the “Predator” Pil-gwang (Kang Ki-young) remains unfazed and walks straight into the superhero den with eerily composed ease. With a specialty in telekinesis, he ranks high in both speed and skills. But he wouldn’t dare be caught with his feathers ruffled because Pil-gwang is a cultured ~artiste~ when it comes to blood and screaming. This means there’s always time for bath time and classy paintings.

In contrast, Pil-gwang’s partner-in-crime Kelly (Kim Hieora) is all about chaos and the fun of the kill. Showing off a loud collection of fake furs, we learn that Kelly likes biting, stabbing, cutting, and other such wholesome activities. Similar to Kim Se-jung (Today’s Webtoon), she can read minds using psychometric powers as well. But while Moon is well-positioned to be Pil-gwang’s downfall, Kelly’s weakness is curiously listed as Pil-gwang.

Also starring Yoo Joon-sang (Alchemy of Souls), Yeom Hye-ran (The Glory), and Yoo In-soo (The Good Bad Mother), tvN’s Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch premieres later this month on July 29.

I've been waiting for Part 2 since last October when Yoo In Soo was announced but after watching that trailer with Kim Hieora, I will be watching with a heavy hand on the FF button.

I'm less scared with this posters. The prev prev posters gave me huge shocks. I almost didn't recognize Kang Ki-young.

I did a double triple and quadruple take.

Ah that cold side eye. Go, Kang Ki-young, and free yourself once and for all from the shackles of the goofy Sundae Soup days.

I first noticed Kim Hieora and her lethal lollipop stick in Bad and Crazy

Holy shamoley, was she good. Eerily good. A true funambulist gracefully walking the tightrope of a psychopathic character, and yet never falling for the traps of overplaying it. She was one hell of an evil character but with the gracile elegance of a ballerina. I could watch her hold that lollipop stick between her teeth for days. I dream of ever reaching the sky-high levels of sane madness she flirts with in her character play.

So yes, I will be watching and hoping the script does her particular range of insanity justice.
