Center
Primary
The series primarily focuses on a universal good-vs-evil narrative, where a team of heroes fights supernatural threats and human corruption, emphasizing individual responsibility and direct justice rather than promoting specific political ideologies or systemic reforms.
The movie features a diverse cast within its South Korean cultural context, but it does not engage in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative focuses on action and character development without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The show features Do Ha-na, a Counter, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents, including powerful evil spirits and human antagonists, using her martial arts and enhanced abilities.
The Uncanny Counter does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a net impact of N/A for LGBTQ+ representation.
The Uncanny Counter is an adaptation of the webtoon 'Amazing Rumor.' All major characters in the series maintain the same gender as established in the original source material.
The show is a South Korean adaptation of a South Korean webtoon. All major characters, originally depicted as East Asian in the source material, are portrayed by East Asian actors in the series, maintaining racial consistency.
