Jul 28, 2023

Uhm Ji Yoon will be making a special appearance in the upcoming second season of “The Uncanny Counter”!

Based on the hit webtoon of the same name, tvN’s “The Uncanny Counter” is a superhero drama starring Jo Byeong Gyu, Kim Sejeong, Yoo Joon Sang, and Yeom Hye Ran as demon hunters with supernatural powers. Two and a half years after the first season’s successful run, the drama is returning with its long-awaited second season this weekend.

In the second episode of “The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch,” Uhm Ji Yoon will make a cameo as Na Jeok Bong (Yoo In Soo)’s blind date. Na Jeok Bong is a naive country boy who will be joining the show’s squad of heroes as a brand-new Counter—and according to the drama’s production team, Uhm Ji Yoon’s character will play a key role in Na Jeok Bong getting recruited by the Counters.

After filming her scene-stealing cameo, Uhm Ji Yoon remarked, “Although I acted standoffish [in the drama], in real life, the Na Jeok Bong I met was handsome.”

“It’s a huge honor to be able to even briefly be a part of ‘The Uncanny Counter 2,'” she continued. “I’m grateful to the director and Yoo In Soo, who were very friendly. The atmosphere on the filming set was great, and I had a lot of fun during filming, so I think the drama will be a big hit.”

Meanwhile, the producers of “The Uncanny Counter 2: Counter Punch” shared, “Uhm Ji Yoon was asked to make a special appearance because director Yoo Sun Dong is a fan of hers. Even though she began filming immediately, without a rehearsal, Uhm Ji Yoon and Yoo In Soo exhibited flawless teamwork and chemistry, to the point where they were even throwing around tons of ad libs that weren’t in the script.”
