The original The Uncanny Counter was the unexpected ratings hit in late 2020 marking one of smaller cable network OCN‘s biggest wins. It was scheduled for a season 2 right away but then got delayed after male lead Jo Byung Gyu got accused of a school yard bullying scandal which has since been handled as the first accuser recanted. The full cast is back for the second go around including Kim Se Jung, Yoo Joon Sang, and Yeom Hye Ran, with the addition of Jin Sun Kyu, Kang Ki Young, Kim Hieora, and Yoo In Soo, and the drama is now slated to air next month in late July on the larger cable network tvN.
