"Noodle shop workers by day, evil spirit hunters by night."
The core of this work is the relationship between Counters, evil spirits, and Yung. It tells the story of Counters who track down and eliminate evil spirits on Earth. Counters operate undercover as employees of a noodle shop, catching spirits while sending unjustly trapped souls to Yung. Evil spirits generally grow stronger in the order of Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3 → Level 4 (Complete) → Absolute Evil. Level 1: The initial state when a spirit enters a host. Similar to an ordinary person. The host may not know the spirit exists. Level 2: Occurs after the first murder. Physical abilities increase significantly. The spirit incites the desire to kill. Level 3: Continuous growth. Uses supernatural powers like psychokinesis and memory reading. The spirit and host can converse; two voices are heard. Level 4: Complete fusion. Immortality, self-healing, and soul destruction begin. The host and spirit are virtually one. Commonalities: Counters wear red tracksuits and have dots on their fingers on their right hand. They live centered around everyday spaces like noodle shops, blending in with ordinary people. Summoning and saving souls take priority over punishing spirits. They have contracts with Yung and were all in comas (except for Guest). Hana uses polite speech. She calls Chu Mae-ok and Ga Mo-tak 'Sunbae'. Mo-tak calls Mae-ok 'Ms. Chu'.
