Due to an accident, Pu Yi Yong (Tseng Jing Hua) now can see and talk to ghosts. He teams up with an old classmate Cao Guang Yan (Peng Cian You) and a cop Chu Ying (Vivian Sung) to help ghosts move to the afterlife, as well as to figure out a bigger mystery surrounding his family and the reasons he gets his supernatural skills.

Oh No Here Comes Trouble takes the theme of people's inner struggle towards loss and how to deal with it. The best part of this series for me was the three lead's friendships; Yi Yong, Guang Yan and Chu Ying. Their distinct personalities which seem to not match well at first develops into an understanding and faith. Yi Yong being the most empathic, Guang Yan - smart and genuine, and Chu Ying driven and motivated, perfectly balance one another and ultimately become the heart of this drama. This only thing I couldn't vibe with them was the deadpan humor that didn't feel that funny to me.

The episodic ghosts stories were entertaining and heartfelt, with good backstories... but this episodic nature becomes a double-edged sword because it takes out my focus to the main overarching plotline, as in I did not feel the angst or the curiosity to know what happen or to watch the next episode. Nevertheless, the reveal in the end was great and it was a beautiful healing journey.
