On the other hand, the Counters bring the spirits to an edge when they quickly find a chance to escape. During this time, Mae-ok summons Wong and brings back the spirit of the Counter who lost her life and powers to him. Thus, one of the counters is finally freed to Yung while the others wait for the Counters to save them.

The chaos soon comes to an end and Jang-mul scolds So Mun for putting his life in danger for Jang-mul. The mood in the base soon changes from one to another and the Counters finally get some time to laugh and cheer, unaware that one of their members is under an immense burden.

Elsewhere, the spirits Pil-gwang and Gilly are annoyed by their loss and while the latter is now obsessed with killing Ha-na, Pil-gwang greeds to get So Mun’s powers. On the other hand, Jo-seok is haunted by the evil spirit that he had mistakingly called upon due to his rage.

The next day, So Mun finds a letter left by Jeok-bong wherein he writes about his return to his hometown and goodbye to being a counter. The team is shocked by this and decides to go to his house and get him back. They try to play the good cop bad cop on him but soon realise that the problem is not that easy to solve, especially when they find out about Jeok-bong’s lost ability.

Jeok-bong has decided to not go back and the team is unable to pursue him otherwise. However, they are unable to bear his absence and decide to give bring him back another try. This time, only Ha-na and So Mun decide to go there, unaware that this won’t be a simple trip for them.

The Uncanny Counter Season 2 Episode 4 Review

Episode 4 brought in another round of So Mun saving the day which really needs to updates at this point. The Counter may be really strong, but hoping to see the story focus on the others is not a big request to make.

Meanwhile, Jeok-bong is proving himself to be here for more than just comic relief and I am very excited to know how the expenses are taken care of.

With that said, what did you think about the episode? Let us know in the comments below.
