4. Uncanny Counter

Gritty, bloody and full of action like many an OCN drama, yet character-driven and full of heart, like you might expect from jTBC, with a fantasy bent like you might expect of tvN, The Uncanny Counter is the superhero-flavored, heartfelt, X-Men-esque demon-hunting story that I didn't know I needed in my life. It's full of action and by following the series we get to attach with the team members. The dynamic of the team also isn't that generic, because we have one old lady and an ex gangster as a team member, not only a student. Each of character also have different ability thus need them to work it out together to capture an evil soul. Overall score it is solid 8.7 of 10.

But immortality is wearing on Kim Shin, and he longs to find the prophesied human bride who can set his soul free.
