Synopsis
The series tells the story of Parkauna Rowantha O. de Rantella (Casey Gonzales a.k.a. Rykkhofhra Darkkauciux), the eldest among the four sisters who became as the Counterforcian Warriors. Parkauna's life was very happy since her childhood it's because of her younger sisters Racquel (Lee Choi Bo), Alicia (Rebecca Wilson), and Dannielle (Shin Song Dae) and their Queen Mother (Kim Eun Jang). But Parkauna's life was changed when she met Penelope O. de Rantella (P. Mariano), a warrior from the Kingdom of Lierwan. During the war between the Kingdom of Acarouie and Kindom of Monsteria, Penelope kissed Parkauna in order to get Parkauna calm down. A Monsterian attacked Parkauna and because of that, Parkauna was brought by Penelope to the Kingdom of Lierwan in order to take a rest.
After Parkauna and Penelope lived together as close friends, Penelope expressed her feelings for Parkauna, kisses Parkauna, and then she said to Parkauna that she is her real mother--putting Parkauna in shock.
In the end, Parkauna accepts Penelope as her mother. But Penelope married Parkauna and they lived now as a loving couple.

Last June 4, 2007, GP-NET aired Pyrolandia, the TV fantasy series which is very related and similarly to Counterforce due to the existence of Parkauna Rowantha O. de Rantella as one of the main characters. Casey Gonzales (a.k.a. Rykkhofhra Darkkauciux), also the creator of Pyrolandia, said that Pyrolandia was the continuation of Parkauna's life from Counterforce to Pyrolandia. But in the first 18 episodes of Pyrolandia, Parkauna's face was not revealed until on the episode 19 wherein her face is revealed after her mask was completely destroyed.

Controversies
Counterforce receives some controversies instead of appraises. Indeed, Ewander Hazun, an avid fan of Casey Gonzales, said that Counterforce copied the concept and idea from a TV series from Philippines. The Counterforce staff stated that the show was not copied an idea and concept from an another TV show, thus, it was inspired. Another controversy is a close relationship between Parkauna and Penelope, for whom said it was "lewd", "indecent", and "malicious". Due to these reactions of the conservative individuals, some romantic scenes between Parkauna and Penelope were removed.
