Bu Liang Zhi Nian Qing Chu Shi (2023)

Master calligraphy, you never know when you'll need to solve a supernatural mystery!

"Step aside, ordinary dramas, because this drama just crashed onto the scene like a comet. This show's got it all—coming-of-age charm, a sprinkle of fantasy, a dash of horror, some detective vibes, and a generous serving of family drama, all tied together with a quirky sense of humor.

Our main man, Pu Yiyong, goes from high school underachiever to supernatural superhero after a wild accident. And guess what? Now he can see invisible beings! Talk about upgrading your life skills.

What really steals the show? The trio – Yiyong, the reluctant hero, plus police officer Chen Chuying and med student Cao Guangyan. They're like the Avengers of solving mysteries, but with more laughs and fewer capes. The character development is on point, especially watching Yiyong go from high school troublemaker to supernatural Sherlock. And let's not forget the unexpected villainy of Derek Chang, who usually rocks the good-boy image. Plot twist!

What makes this drama a winner? It's not just about solving supernatural puzzles; it's about tackling real-life dilemmas, growing up, and proving that calligraphy skills are seriously underrated. Yiyong's character development is a rollercoaster of emotions, and Tseng Jinghua nails it with the right mix of confusion, frustration, and heartwarming compassion.

But it's not all serious business. Yiyong's mom and Guangyan's dad bring the hilarious vibes, turning the drama into a delightful rollercoaster ride. Life lessons sneak in too, reminding us to love ourselves, never give up, and avoid obsession—it's like a crash course in adulting with a side of the supernatural.

While the first two episodes might feel like a slow warm-up, trust me, it's the calm before the storm of emotional punches and plot twists. The finale is like the perfect bow on a gift—satisfying and leaving us wanting more (fingers crossed for a sequel).

In a nutshell, 'Pu Yiyong's Supernatural Cases' isn't just a drama; it's a binge-worthy, feel-good adventure. So, if you're in the mood for laughs, tears, and a quirky take on the supernatural, grab the popcorn and dive into this gem. You won't regret it!"

Great!!!

This drama was literally fantastic. I have never watched a C/T Drama that I enjoyed more and I have watched dozens. I usually only watch Kdramas and sneak in a Chinese or Taiwanese drama once in a while, if I find a good one that I can finish all the way through. There has actually been only about 15 that I have watched from start to finish and only 4-5 that I have rewatched. I have every intention of adding Oh No Here Comes Trouble to my rewatch list.
The cast was great, the story was great, dialogue was great. I have no complaints about this series except for the number of episodes it had and the fact that I don't see anything saying there will be a second season.
There needs to be a second season.
Also, I didn't like them implying YiYoung wasn't as handsome as Guanyoung. He is way better looking. Sorry not sorry.

DEEP, COMEDY WITH A SENSE, UNEXPECTEDLY GOOD

This drama have the story, if what happened here was all true, everyone might be being chased by some other people's obsession or their own obsession. I expected less from this drama but it gave me more, If I were Yiyong I think I will not be able to do what he did , seeing ghosts and helping them, it is a series of helping I think it was not ghosts only but the call it here an obsession, things that does not exsist but exsisted because the human involved gave them life and they seems like an energy living in a certain place , it was an amazing drama , it explains deeper things if we are to analyze it, I did not get bored at all watching this ! I was honestly here for the bromance coz I am an avid BL fan but this drama gave what I did not expect , its about friendship, the squad with the policewoman , how nice that is !
The comedy of this drama was hooking , I was thinking about it big time and I thought , oh this is how Taiwanese comedies are like , their acting was not over , it was just right and understandable for a foreign watchers like myself, I like how Guang Yan and Yiyong was like having a too hate you to love you kind of relationship ! they seem to have no care with each other but they do,I like the part where Yi Yong was going to Guang Yans room at night and he was slapped by Guang Yan out of shock every time he goes there and them sleeping in one bed waaa me trying to remind myself that this is not a BL okay ? ! calm down , also the policewoman I forgot her name because their names are hard to pronounce ! her relationship with her boss at the police station HAHHA those were one of my favorite parts and when the three of became so naive sometimes and everything every actions they had , they seems like they look so not serious about whats happening but they are serious ! specially Yi Yong .. his face was too sharp but charming , Guang Yan was like an angel so love their squad.
I really thought it was the baker who was the main villain but I think there were not really main villain here , he was just someone who observed the squad from the beginning and happens to want to see his brother whom he killed and he wanted Yi Yong to let that brother appear ,and I think it just happened that he was the one who attempted to kill Yi Yong. Too bad that the baker was so handsome like an Angel but he was a Psycho I thought he would be really nice to be the guy for the police Woman .. too bad .. I really thought Yi Yong was gonna Die ! thankfully not !
At the beginning I kinda predicted that it will be Yiyongs Father's spirit that he's gonna meet in the end and I was not wrong , It was a very heartfelt encounter when Yiyong was almost dead , That was one of my favorite Part. To be honest it was kinda not satisfying ending, I thought it would be better if at least until episode 14 ! ugh gonna miss this squad big time .
Yi yong acted so well here even on Your name engraved herein it was a blast I love all their acting, Guang Yan I hope to see him more at dramas. About the re watch, probably not now but I think this drama is such a re watchable one like 100 % I might get back to it one day again.

A supernatural drama that warms the heart

I wasn't expecting much when I decided to watch this drama, but was I pleasantly surprised. I absolutely loved it! Normally I don't like to watch shows that make me cry, but this was quite the exception. Plus I was happy with the ending.

I really liked the onscreen chemistry between the characters Pu Yi Yong and Cao Guang Yan. It was nice to see how their friendship developed. They were never the buddy-buddy type, but it was clearly a bromance by the end. The cop, Chen Chu Ying, was annoying at times, as she was selfish, quick tempered, and emotional. But she improved as the series went on. I thought she ended up the kind of cop she'd wanted to be from the beginning.

I highly recommend watching this drama. You won't regret it.

Taiwanese hit

Generally speaking, Taiwanese dramas are usually either a big hit or miss for me. And this one was a hit. Unfortunately, the drama's title does not serve it justice, as it suggests some very superficial and cheap comedy content. Although it does give a lot of comedic moments, it is blended well together with the mystery aspect. You never feel like it currently is too lighthearted or too heavy, since it finds the perfect timing for both. I loved the bromance between ML and the medical student. Perhaps I'm a bit biased, but I would've loved or at least encouraged some BL here :p But even "just" as friends, they give you a lot of cute and funny moments and they are a joy to watch.
The only downside, but that's just a personal preference, I would've preferred some romance somewhere. But as I said, it also works well with only friendship and still is a really nice experience.

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) !!

Highly Recommend

I went into the first watch of this series intrigued by the premise but not expecting too much.

I was hooked from the first episode, & loved the humour, pathos & world-building from the start.

12 episodes both feels like not enough and yet also so concisely & beautifully wrapped up that i feel conflicted about wanting a Season 2 because the initial series is so wonderfully told.

Won't share any spoilers - simply, the acting, production & cinematography is excellent.

More people should know about this show.

I'm currently on my 2nd rewatch of the series as I missed the characters and their stories, having completed the first watch a month ago.

Please do give this show a try, you won't be disappointed.

I love it.

Hits the Spot

I love these types of plots where help is being provided to different individuals/families, particularly with a supernatural baseline. Most series don't do it very well for one reason or another. This one, despite my initial judgment on the title name (which of course is why should we shouldn't judge based on cover/name), really hit the spot with exception of some minor gripes.

Everyone involved including the supporting cast jived well together and had great chemistry. There are scenes that will make you tear up, scenes that will make you laugh, and scenes where you're anticipating the unraveling of situation. There's nothing overly gruesome or frightening (though I wouldn't mind it) and the blended-in humor helps ease any of the darker aspects.

The only character I didn't care much for was the female cop. It is more of how she was written rather than the actress herself. She was more immature than the young MLs, selfish (though somewhat self-aware), much too needy, and didn't know when to stop talking. The other minor grip is the series ended with many unanswered questions and rather abruptly, but is also a bit expected with only 12 episodes.

I found myself looking forward to every next episode and would highly recommend for folks who also enjoy these semi-episodic and supernatural plots. The series gets extra kudos for doing a great job at this particular type of plot/genre.

Highly Recommend To All

The really good parts of this series, I loved wholeheartedly. I found it funny and devastating and supernatural and uplifting. Even though most of the supporting characters show up for a short time, their performances are no less compelling and touching as the main characters’ performances. I really liked that the anthology style of each ‘case’ works on their own individually but also ties in together with the main story.

The reason why it’s an 8.5 and not a 9 for me is because from one minute to the next I was either extremely riveted or slightly bored (there was no in between). The riveting bits were really riveting and engaging. If I could suggest one thing to make it better, it would be for them to tighten up the narrative a bit.

There were also plot points that kinda went nowhere but these were small plot points. I don’t know if this was a translation issue or an issue with the series itself. For example, they drew attention to something the boss’ male employee said that was ‘off’ in that school girl with the clips case but they never expounded on that or did anything with it. So, that part felt unfinished and like they dropped that part of the story.

I can’t stress enough though, that this is a really good watch and I’d highly recommend it. It gets you in the feels in all the best and most devastating ways. Like everyone else, I’m praying for a series 2.

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.
