OCN’s’Wonderful Rumor’ Counters brought thrill to the home theater with a breathtaking action toward the final battle against the absolute evil Choi Kwang-il.

On this day, rumors (by Cho Byeong-gyu) showed the wonder of leveling up again by freely controlling the energy of the land following Jung’s land. In the meantime, Do Hana (played by Kim Se-jeong) and the evil spirit Baek Hyang-hee (played by Ok Ja-yeon) began a bloody battle to end the tough relationship, causing tension to soar. In particular, Dohana reunited with the family she missed so much through her unconscious in the moment of crisis, and said, “I have to go again. Everyone is waiting.” After getting awakened under the support of the family, he finally succeeded in summoning Baek Hyang-hee’s demons and presented catharsis.
Now, only the absolute evil Shin Myung-hui (played by Choi Kwang-il) remains. In particular, the hope of not being pushed by Shin Myung-hui even after the barrier was broken made Counters stronger, and Counters had to hurry to summon a demon to prevent the disappearance of the souls captured by Shin Myung-hui. Above all, Gamo Tak (played by Yoo Jun-sang) and Do Hana’s sticky companionship made the rumors and viewers’ hearts crushed. Gamotak said, “This is not just your fight. It’s homework that we all have to solve, so don’t take the burden alone,” said Do Hana, “(Parents) I’ll make sure to meet. The rumors will make sure you can tell the words you want to convey.”
Meanwhile, Oh Jeong-gu (played by Son Ho-jun) was dispatched to treat the sick Chu Mae-ok (played by Yeom Hye-ran) and added fun to the play. Oh Jung-gu is the successor counter to the retired Jang-Mul Choi (played by Ahn Seok-hwan) and healer like Chu Mae-ok. Just in time, Counters raided Shin Myeong-hui’s home with Oh Jeong-gu for the final battle, but this was a trap that Shin Myeong-hui unfolded. In the absence of Counters, the demon in Shin Myung-hui changed the host to Shin Myung-hui’s son, Shin Hyeok-woo (played by Jeong Won-chang), and attacked Chumae-ok, who was alone in the noodle restaurant, raising tension.
Afterwards, rumors to protect Chu Mae-ok and Shin Hyeok-woo met, and the demon again escaped from Shin Hyeok-woo’s body and entered Shin Myung-hui’s body. At that time, Gamo-tak and Oh Jeong-gu tried to summon the demon while aiming for the timing of the demon entering Shin Myung-hui’s body, but the power of the two counters was not enough. Oh Jung-gu was struck by a knife thrown by Shin Myung-hui and eventually died, creating regret.
The moment his underworld partner Dong-pal (played by Lim Ji-gyu) came out of Oh Jung-gu’s body and wandered in search of another counter with Oh Jung-gu’s death, a miracle happened and surprised everyone. Rumors revealed the wish, “I don’t want anybody to die anymore,” and at the same time, accepting the copper arm into one’s body, he expressed his wonderful ability again. Like the thrilled words of Wigen (played by Moon Sook), “It was a small door that connects the world and Jung,” the rumor’s desire to protect everyone and Counters’ strong solidarity to support and believe such rumors triggered the level-up done.
Furthermore, the rumors revealed a warm friendship that cared for the friend who had bothered him, including the comforting of “you must have had a lot of memories that you want to erase,” and serving a warm meal of rice while deleting the memories of Shin Hyeok-woo.
Meanwhile, at the end of the broadcast, a demon sent a warning to the rumors and announced the end of the D-Day summons. In a warm encouragement toward each other, saying, “We will win today,” Counters wrapped up the home theater with a thrilling ending foretelling the final judgment, making us look forward to the final episode.
Meanwhile, actor Son Ho-jun, who specially appeared in the 15th episode of’Wonderful Rumors’, said, “It was an honor to be able to breathe again with Director Yoo Seon-dong, and I am grateful to the actors who led them comfortably in the field. It was a short appearance, but it was fun to be able to participate in a work that received a lot of love. I hope you will love’wonderful rumors’ until the end,” he said.
OCN Saturday’s original’Wonderful Rumors’ is a refreshing and sweaty evil spirit-breaking hero, where demon hunters,’Counters’ disguise themselves as noodle restaurant staff to defeat demons on the ground. The final episode of’Amazing Rumors’ will be aired at 10:30 pm on the 24th.
