This show was a binge show for me ahhaha
I really liked the show!! It had all the elements I love in a show. the comedy, the mystery, the little bit of action. Im also very fond of physical comedy so that was extra fun. I really liked the way the relationships (obv friendly) developed in the show and that there was no romance cause Im so tired of romance shows. Also that all the characters were very original and the actors nailed their personalitys completely!!!Moreover, that the show had multiple smaller storylines with different morals that all lead up to that final scene as so beautiful. Almost made me tear up until he woke up and was immediately annoyed (honestly love that too tho).
I would have loved to see a postcredit scene where Yiyong, Chuying and Guangyan all like were up to something. That would really tie it all together. Especially since it felt like he had to wake up to do something so It'd be nice to see what that something is. Although an open ending to just wonder how things go is also nice ofcourse.

Objectively good just not for me
This is a drama that I can objectively see is good and objectively understand why someone would recommend it it to me and most people. As it has a great cast, a new take on supernatural investigations and a whole lot of good to offer.However the male lead is as stupid as it gets, and is just alittle bit to stupid for me to enjoy watching him. And I am just not one who enjoys episodic mysteries that much. While I did enjoy watching them raise some issues once the show gave life and emotions to objects they kind of lost my interest, it felt a little bit to silly for me.
So actors Great!
Female lead- Amazing!
The mom- Loved her!
Story- actually pretty good
So for those who like supernatural, objects with emotions, investigation with fun twists and mostly lovable characters this is a great place to find it.
If you are like me who needs to connect more with the story, cast and so on you might as well watch something else.

A masterpiece!
Holy guacamole! This series was an absolute masterpiece! I cried so much, but there was laughter throughout as well.This was so beautifully woven and twisty-turny. I want a season 2 so badly!
Nothing broke me more than Caoguang breaking down over Yi. 😭😭😭
This would be a 10/10, but unfortunately, 10/12 episodes I hated Chuying. She was so high and mighty, self-centered, selfish, and annoying. It took until episode 11 for Caoguang to humble her before she pulled her head out of her rear. She took all of the credit and didn't treat them as her equals even though none of her success would have come without Yi. Literally. I'm glad she eventually realized that because then the dynamic felt balanced and she wasn't so unbearable.
I feel they left this open for a season 2 and I really hope so! This was so beautiful, funny, and every emotion there is. Bravo everyone!

It's balanced. All the parts of the plot are balanced.
The episodes are not dragging. The solutions, inside the "universe" of the plot, are logical. The acting is believable. The cooperation between the main actors and the guests actors is good. The problems and life issues are believable. The CGI is good enough. It's funny enough, but also serious, suspensful and some times it's scary (in a mild way). It deals with serious social issues but at the same time it is written in a lighthearted way.The story background (personal problems, mourning, romances, job etc) is important but it doesn't overshadow the premise of the drama. The heroes have a life, but they don't waste three episodes thinking about it. The episodes revolve around the stories and around character building.

AMAZING! so well done.... until ... ep 6... then you realize this was a collywood delusion
It is really a horror movie in disguise. It is scary and has quite some gory parts. Luckily not tooooo toooooo gory, you can easily skip the gory parts. It is hard though bc they are shown quite fast. Be ready with the fast forward button.I really like use of makjang acting to act scenes about topics that do not matter, and "acting like in real life" to show topics that DO matter. It makes the drama go fast.
The movie plays on some Chinese / Taiwanese stereotypes that I am not familiar with. Clearly, it is a culture steeped in superstition. There must be some delulu in this drama based on some play on what is true, but I am not familiar to say exactly what.
Like in Western movies, where families are broken and everyone is separate and single and lonely, isolated, depressed; and it is a consumer society where everlasting personal satisfaction happens super fast without any effort, there is this delulu idea of getting all happy bc you found the right person who loves you - and then INSTANTLY AND FOREVER your life becomes supper happy and everything is great for you. This delulu consumerism plot manipulates the true, genuine human need to love and be loved by others.
A good movie might showcase true things that are now considered mystical, like the kung fu powers etc.
So what Chinese delulu AND / OR truth card(s) is this drama playing....?. I dont know. It seems to emphasize the magical power of caligraphy. Which... is true :) and I am not sure about delulus. Perhaps - the power of beer to unite ppl... ? the "masters" are all grumpy... ?
For the first 5 episodes, I thought it was a great drama. Then ep 6 was super cheesy copy of kdramas - going to an amusement park and playing on the claw machine (to claw out a prize out of a glass box full of prizes). I ALSO NOTICED THEY ADVERTISED THE BEER... the dad and son and mother and son drink beer together...
And the story got pretty cheesy... All "help me cases" were obsessions of live people...
Soooo at the end of ep 6, I fast forwarded to ep 12 and found the (dead) dad encouraging the son to drink beer... THAT was a sure sign this drama was totally a trap...
And then I quit. I got tired of ML actor ONLY grumpy face, of drinking beer by manipulation, etc and I quit this as Collywood.
Written after ep 1: this drama uses makjang exaggerated acting to show things that are not important, and "like real life" acting to show what is important. It saves so much time!!!!
Only one half of episode 1 was enough to totally set the background story of ML's life.
The story is well done and the acting is well done for the first 5 episodes. ML is young but that actor is excellent.
But he never smiles and stays super grumpy or the entire drama. One time he smiles, it is visible he has bad teeth. Too bad. He is a handsome guy and a phenomenal actor, he needs to fix his teeth so that he act roles with smiling too. And of course, for his own health.
I got tired of watching his grumpy face all the time. He needs to change facial expressions... imo.

Chinese version of Ghost Writer with good acting, comedy, and suspenseful
"Oh, No! Here Comes Trouble" is another iQiyi short series. AvenueX recommended it, so I am checking it out. To be honest, I was not into it until episode 8 onward.The synopsis is that Pu Yi Yong is a high school who unexpectedly gains superpowers after a bus accident that took his father's life and put his grandfather in a coma.
He gained the power to talk to the dead and work with the police and his classmate/neighbor to solve the causes and unresolved issues and lead them to the light.
It is like "Ghost Writer," an old American drama with a modern touch and special CGI effects.
The first 7 episodes are so boring and hard to get into. I found it so dull and fast-forward most of it, until episodes 8-10, that it got interesting. Since it is only 2 episodes left, so I will stick with it.
The acting is not bad; the script is strange and weird. I don't enjoy it as much, so I give it a 7.5 rating.

Incontournable !
J'ai commencé à visionner cette série sans trop savoir à quoi m'attendre. J'avais survolé le résumé, je ne connaissait ni les acteurs ni le réalisateur.Et dès le premier épisode, ça a été un coup de cœur ! Tout est bon, il n'y a rien à jeter ! L'histoire est à la fois prégnante et drôle (un équilibre parfois difficile)
D'abord les prises de vue sont superbes (la scène de l'accident de bus du premier épisode, sur cette douce musique, j'en ai encore des frissons). La musique a un côté décalé qui m'a beaucoup plus. Le scénario est captivant. Quant aux personnages et à la leurs interprètes : ils sont géniaux !
Tseng Chin Hua (que j'avais déjà vu dans "Danger Zone" m'a vraiment bluffé : c'est un grand acteur. Vivian Sung en fliquette blasée est magnifique ! Quant à Peng Cian You j'ai beaucoup aimé l'évolution de ce personnage.
Bref, à voir, vraiment (même si vous n'aimez pas le style) !!

Penuh Misteri dan Fantasi, super natural!
Series satu ini awalnya tidak berlebel bromance, dan entah kenapa genre tersebut muncul ; mungkin banyak sekali konten tiktok yang membuat konten tentang potongan-potongan series ini yang dibuat menjadi satu seolah-olah terjadi hubungan Pu Yi Yong dan Cao Guang Yan. Menceritakan seorang laki-laki bernama Pu Yi Yong yang dapat melihat entitas ; semacam mahluk tak kasat mata atau astral yang disebut sebagai "obsesi", mahluk ini meminta Pu Yi Yong menyelesaikan masalah dari orang yang bersangkutan dengan entitas obsesi ini ; namun hal ini tidak mudah, entitas tidak mengetahui caranya ~ oleh karena itu Pu Yi Yong harus mencari tahu sendiri, sebenarnya apa yang terjadi. Pu Yi Yong dibantu oleh temannya seorang polisi bernama Yifa dan seorang teman pria semasa SMA-nya bernama Cao Guang Yan. Bagaimana kisahnya?. Dari segi scene menurutku unik dan menarik ya series yang satu ini karena menampilkan bentuk series misteri dengan romansa fantasi yang tidak lebay. Dari segi dialog, agak sulit dimengerti apalagi di awal-awal episode, kita perlu mengenal karakternya terlebih dahulu dengan tetap menikmati series ini minimal hingga episode tiga. Dari segi warna, series ini punya saturasi yang rendah sehingga cenderung seperti film horror, bahkan saya menganggap pada awalnya series ini seperti memiliki jump-scare, kenyataannya tidak ; walaupun seperti itu menurutku series ini bukan series horror, melainkan semi horror sih hahaha. Dari segi karakter, saya menyukai Pu Yi Yong yang bahkan terlihat seperti orang bodoh yang tidak bisa melakukan sesuatu dengan sempurna, ditemani teman nya Cao Guang Yan yang sangat pintar dan kritis, serta teman lain bernama Yifa yang seorang polisi, ini benar-benar sebuah tim yang bagus!, menurutku series ini sangat rekomendasi terutama bagi penikmat series misteri fantasy.Was this review helpful to you?
Primeiro tw-drama, e que drama!!
Eu amei tanto isso.A estrutura e vibe de anime que ele passa me agradou demais, como boa fã de anime que sou rs.
Achei o enredo interessante e bem feito.
A comédia, o drama, os mistérios, tudo muito bem equilibrado, fazendo que nunca ficasse cansativo.
Amei os personagens principais, bem carismáticos e cativantes, até os secundários tiveram seu brilho.
As atuações são boas.
Gostei muito da trilha sonora, dos dramas dos personagens em cada episódio e histórias contadas...
E ainda as lições de vida e desenvolvimento do Pu Yi Yong e dos outros, entre tudo o que já citei, fizeram com que esse drama se tornasse um dos meus preferidos da vida.
