What is The Uncanny Counter about?

A noodle shop in a quiet neighbourhood doubles as the base for a crew of spirit hunters — ordinary people partnered with souls from the afterlife who lend them strength, speed and the ability to see what is really wearing a human face. Their newest recruit is a high schooler with a limp and a grudge, and the demons he is sent to collect keep leading him back toward the crash that killed his parents.

Critics consensus: Webtoon action with a big heart: the demon-punching is fun, but it is the found-family bickering around the noodle counter that carries both seasons. The cast is led by Jo Byeong-kyu, Yoo Jun-sang, Kim Se-jeong, Yeom Hye-ran, Ahn Suk-hwan, among others.
