What is this??? *In a funny way*
From the start to end I was like "What I'm just watching". The plot was a bit interesting and weird, and it develops exactly like that. I enjoyed in some parts but other parts were just boring. Anyway, it wasn't bad, just not how I expected. It definitely could be better (or worse ??).The acting was fine. The chemistry make it funnier but I didn't buy it when they were so connected with each other, like when that happened?
Anyway, it was a little too long but ok.
Well, well, well, I don't even know what else should I say lol

Quirky fun
Ridiculous idea which could have turned out really badly...but it was funny, silly and sad. A homophobic cop (Greg Hsu) messes up again and again until he finds himself in the biggest mess he's made: somehow he ends up marrying a man (Austin Lin)...who happens to be dead!It was inevitable that the cop would have an epiphany and become less (and eventually not) homophobic but the journey there was fun (and sometimes I just rolled my eyes).
What I liked: good looking male leads! There were some laugh out loud (and I did), verging on slapstick, scenes throughout the film and especially towards the end. I admit that the ambulance scene made me sad and then almost cheer.
What I didn't like: the reason the female character was looking for vengeance was too obvious for my liking, but I could see that it brought a major part of the story to its conclusion.
Overall, a fun film which is worth watching if you fancy trying something different.

Gay straight pairing ... Light BL vibes ... A good one though
As my headline suggests .. they made a gay- straight pairing. Maybe that's why there was no intimate or even a kiss scene between the leads but their chemistry was bang on!The story moves slowly and gets interesting as it progresses.
The acting is pretty good.
The theme seems to be BL but it is light hearted comic cop story with little sadness and twist here and there.
My BL heart really wished for a different ending or atleast a final kiss between the leads to make up for the ending bcoz even though one of the lead claimed himself to be "Straight" but you can find him slowly falling for the other lead.
Anyway, overall a good movie to watch and kill time.

Super Sweet and Lovely - a Movie to Smile for
Well this will be a short review, I just want to say that I had low expectations and it surprised me a lot. To me the may plot is the relation between the MCs so it was good would loved some more romanticism but ok, the second plot was to some extent predictable but ok too.I would say that is a really good film for a rainy day of a winter night because it will surly warm the hearts of anyone who watch it.
It is definitely worth watching even more if you watch it with your significant other.

Great storyline and mesmerizing acting with a NOTE. Laogong!
Stumbled this bcs I got hooked with the trailer and how the stories goes. Heres what I get.(Pro) : -This has to be the best storyplot in taiwanese bromance/bl genre. The story is well cooked.
- Wu Minghan(Greg) really carried the from the beginning into the end with his acting
- The comedy is really well done :))))))))
- Did I cry ? Yes !
(Cons) : - Great Story line but I wish execution was better. Bcs theres so many stories in here that make you bawl your eyes out.
- Missed opportunity in some scene, theres a scene that actually can make you cried but they keep changing and jumping in the other words it actully has fast-deliver story execution. I just wish it was slower so I can enjoy some part like the part under the bridge it was missed opportunity and also the bar scene it was a good opportunity but again they ruined it !
-The Unnecesary Nudity, theres a lot of nudity in this movie that really seems often appeared. They dont really have to show it anyway since they have a strong storyline tho.
-CGI, Its not bad it just I dont really care bcs i came for the story not for anything else so yeah :)))))))))))))))

“ A Heartfelt and Hilariously Unique Take on Love, Loss, and Friendship"
Marry My Dead Body is an unexpected gem in the supernatural comedy genre. It cleverly balances comedy, emotional moments, and social themes, making it more than just a quirky ghost story. The setup—a ghost marriage between a living police officer and a spirit—sounds outlandish, but the show quickly proves that it has more depth than expected.One of the drama’s strongest aspects is its character development. Both leads start off with their own flaws and biases, and their journey together is full of growth and unexpected friendship. The chemistry between the main characters is electric, and they play off each other perfectly, providing a mix of laugh-out-loud humor and deeply touching moments. This contrast between comedic banter and genuine emotion keeps the story engaging and relatable, despite its fantastical premise.
The show also deserves credit for its sensitive handling of LGBTQ+ themes, which can be rare in Asian dramas. It addresses societal prejudices in a natural and thought-provoking way, allowing the story to go beyond surface-level humor and explore deeper questions about acceptance, identity, and love.
Visually, the drama is vibrant and well-crafted, with an effective use of special effects that enhance the supernatural elements without feeling overdone. The production quality is solid, and the pacing feels just right, keeping the story moving while giving us time to connect with the characters.
If there’s any minor downside, it might be that some plot points feel a bit predictable, or that certain comedic elements get repeated. But these are small critiques in an otherwise well-executed drama.
Overall: Marry My Dead Body is a heartfelt, funny, and refreshingly original drama that strikes a beautiful balance between humor, romance, and social commentary. It’s not afraid to tackle tough topics while still keeping things light and entertaining. For anyone looking for a unique drama with depth and humor, this is a must-watch.
Final Rating: 9.5/10

1980s action movie cop meets progressive millenial
Mao Bang Yu and Wu Ming Han couldn't be more different -- while the latter is a walking 80s action movie cop cliché, complete with casual sexism, homophobia and fast car chases, the former is an enviromentally aware, gay and family oriented millenial.What could go wrong, when those two are tied in a ghost marriage and Wu Ming Han has to help his "husband" move on to the next life?
Don't let yourself be fooled by the macismo in the beginning, this movie will show its depth later on.
This movie combines the best of old-fashioned action movies with a healthy dose of humour, criticism of sexism and homophobia, and a story about personal growth.
The bickering between the two main characters made me laugh, the grandma and her circle of aunties giggle, and the father's story cry.
Only one aspect is rather unfortunate, that with all the good messages about tolerance and equality, the fat, gay cop remained an object of "comedy", and did not get his own moment to shine.
The acting is great overall, the pacing fast, but lets the quieter moments breathe. I never would have thought that an action film could move me to tears, but this on did.

ghost x human
• obvious naman sa title kung ano magiging storyline nito, & yes tungkol 'to sa isang police na nakapulot ng red envelope not knowing that will lead to him marrying a ghost.• i can say na maganda ang flow ng story since magaganda talaga mostly ang napproduce ng taiwan. this is not a love story at all, but it's still a good way to waste time. nag-expect nga lang ako ng isang kiss pero wala bEh, lumbay.
• halata naman na may edited na mga scenes but the editing skills are good. also, casts are good. maraming scenes na natawa ako, and sa part na nagtanong 'yong co-worker "who are you talking to?" ta's teary eyed aq sa sagot ni wu ming han na "my husband" T___T
• overall, ito 'yong movie na kareco-reco kasi masasabi kong may quality, maganda ang twist, and hindi gano'n kalumbay ang ending unlike sa MODC (ang layo hane pero naisip ko kasi modc lol). want ko ng sequel nito ta's magmeet ulit sila pls pls pls!!

semi - Aksi ; kriminal ; horror beraroma BL.
Menurutku film ini punya cerita yang unik, walaupun disuguhkan dengan durasi yang sangat lama yaitu dua jam ; namun entah kenapa selama menonton aku tidak merasa ada di fase bosan. Setiap scene membuatku penasaran sehingga memacuku untuk terus menonton film ini hingga akhirnya sampai difase aku merasakan keseruan dan menariknya film yang satu ini. Mengisahkan seorang polisi pria yang secara tidak sengaja harus menikahi seorang hantu pria. Walaupun terlihat punya cerita yang sederhana, namun film ini tidak hanya memberikan cerita semudah itu, film ini memiliki banyak sekali life meaning yang bagus. Dari segi warna ; film ini punya saturasi yang rendah, seperti film horror. jejak CGI masih terlihat, namun cukup bagus, dialog dan alurnya mudah difahami. Penokohannya saya suka walaupun ada beberapa scene yang saya tidak menyukainya, entah kenapa mungkin beberapa scene memang "it's not my coffee" aja gt. Overall film ini sudah cukup rekomendasi untuk ditonton.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Brilliantly done!
Honestly this is sooo good. It had me laughing, eye rolling, and even crying.The story is unique and fun. I loved Mao and how he shot him down every time with his gay stereotypes. The mole was a surprise too which was good and the dad at the end 🥺
The two main leads worked so well together and I was so glad when Ming Han gave Chen a piece of his mind. I think he loved Mao in the end in his own way.
I could totally watch this again too, it was funny and that’s always a plus! Also despite knowing it’s impossible you stop find yourself hoping there’s a way around death for these two 🤪
It was such a good watch you need to go try it.
