MANILA, Philippines — Fresh off their successful appearance in hit K-dramas, "Alchemy of Souls" star Yoo In-soo and "The Glory" actress Kim Hieora will join the upcoming second season of hit fantasy drama "The Uncanny Counter."
Apart from them, Kang Ki-young who played a beloved attorney in "Extraordinary Attorney Woo," will also appear in the drama.

Ki-young and Hieora are set to play villains.
“We are doing our best to present you with a more fun and interesting Season 2 to repay the love you sent our way in Season 1. With stronger and more enhanced counters, demons, and strong teamwork, we will greet you with an upgraded Korean-style hero series, so please look forward to it and give it lots of interest,” said the production in a statement published in a Soompi article.
