OCN's record-breaking drama "Uncanny Counter" made a successful finale last January of this year. The whole production team didn't expect the massive support and popularity that the series would receive during its run.
Due to the high interest of the viewers, "Uncanny Counter" season 2 is finally confirmed and Korean media announced that the filming for the second book will happen in 2022. Kim Sejeong also mentioned in one of her VLive broadcasts that the production is already preparing for filming next year.
Apart from its fresh concept, the actors who led the Kdrama were perfectly fit for their roles. Kim Sejeong, Jo Byung Gyu, Yu Jun Sang, and Yum Hye Ran had great chemistry with each other, which was evident on and off screens.
Months after "Uncanny Counter" concluded, many Kdrama fans missed seeing the cast, and as they continued to dominate the entertainment industry, here are their upcoming projects that you can add to your watchlist.
Kim Sejeong
The idol-actress became busy after " Uncanny Counter." She started working on her musical play titled "Red Book," which was also a success. Being versatile that she is, Kim Sejeong also starred in various variety shows.
Aside from acting, the former Gugudan member dropped her new track, "Baby I Love U," last July. Meanwhile, in August, Kim Sejeong was confirmed to star in a new romance-drama, "The Office Blind Date" alongside Ahn Hyo Seop and "School 2017" co-star Seol In Ah.
In fact, she is currently filming the drama and is slated to premiere in the first half of 2022.

He was just preparing to conquer the Kdrama industry in early of 2021 but Jo Byung Gyu was embroiled in bullying controversies. Due to the issue's impact, the actor lost all his supposed projects.
Meanwhile, after the non-stop investigations, Jo Byung Gyu started to clean his name in public. Now that he is about to rise again, the "SKY Castle" star will be making his big-screen return with "Even if I Die, One More Time," where he is expected to work with iKON's Junhoe in the project.
The movie is scheduled to meet the viewers sometime in 2022.
Yu Jun Sang
Award-winning actor Yu Jun Sang's latest drama appearance after "Uncanny Counter" was in "The Penthouse 2." The 51-year-old actor made a special cameo in the megahit SBS series. Like Kim Sejeong, Yu Jun Sang is also active in doing theatrical plays and is also a talented musician.
As of this writing, there are no confirmed projects yet for the versatile actor.
Yun Hye Ran
The 45-year-old actress won the Best Supporting Awards at the 57th Baeksang Arts Awards held last May 2021 for her notable portrayal in OCN's "Uncanny Counter."
Aside from it, Yun Hye Ran made a silver screen comeback in February with "I," and joined "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" star Son Ye Jin in the suspense movie "Recalled" that aired in April. She also appeared in tvN's "The Devil Judge."
