My March Recommendation movie
Watched this for my Recommendation Challenge from đť‘𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕1221. Let’s talk movie…
The story follows Wu Ming-han (MH), a hot-headed, homophobic, and highly superstitious police officer. Because of his brash, arrogant & reckless behavior on the job, his superior officer assigned him to neighborhood cleanup duty (picking up trash) as a disciplinary punishment.
While he was grumbling and picking up litter with his tongs, he spotted the red envelope in the street. Thinking it was just another trash to be cleared, he picked it up—and that's when an old lady yelled and suddenly the rest of the group appeared & surrounded him, claiming he was the chosen groom. According to local folklore, this means he has "consented" to a ghost marriage with the deceased owner. The owner is Mao Mao (MM), a young gay man who died in a mysterious hit-and-run accident.
Terrified and unwilling—especially because the groom is a man—MH tries to refuse. But after experiencing a series of bizarre and life-threatening incidents, he has no choice but to go through with the ritual.
To his horror, after the wedding, MH begins to see and communicate with MM. Unlike the scary vengeful spirit MH expected, MM is not scary and quite quirky. MM simply can’t move on to the afterlife because he has "unfulfilled wishes."
The two strike a deal: if MH helps MM fulfill his final wishes and uncover the truth behind his death, MM will move on to the afterlife and leave MH alone.
As they investigate, they discover that MM’s death wasn't just an accident—it was a hit-and-run committed by a notorious drug lord, Lin Hsiao-yuan—a target MH is already pursuing. Now, two missions become one, MH and MM work together: MH handles the real-world investigation, while MM uses his ghostly abilities to assist from the shadows.
Through their journey, MH begins to change—not just about spirits, but about love, identity, and what it means to truly see someone.
And when the final moment comes… How will it all end?
Will MM finally find peace—and cross over to the afterlife?
Or will he simply… disappear?
That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers.
What I like:
+ Some scenes are simply just hit the spot, some are funny (like when MH first met MM), but some are also so sad (like the last scene).
+ When prejudice meets their karma not all end up bad…
+ The unexpected betrayal….
What I’m not too like:
- The scene sometimes is just too exaggerated & silly.
Overall this is a really good movie to watch….
