Here to recommend another tw-drama, OH NO! HERE COMES TROUBLE.

This is labelled as supernatural and mystery, but don’t let that deter you, as it did me at the beginning. It’s an episodic show, still airing, and actually a very gentle balance between humour and thoughtfulness, with some surprising and unusual decisions on topics tackled. Even though it’s thematically in the same drama family as shows like “Move to Heaven” or “May I Help You”, it’s highly original and catches you unexpectedly. A 15-minute section in episode 5, for example, ought to go down as a classic segment in any drama, but I won’t spoil it for you.

AveX also sold the show in a half-way review recently, so it’s not just me raving about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAysLj3eUkg

Go and watch it!

    Wow, this sounds amazing, Thanks for flagging it here. Hopefully, there will be a group of people this will be ideal for who will be able to share the moment with you. I hope it can continue at this level and end well.
    I can’t believe you didn’t say Avenue X gave it top rankings. I am new to Avenue X so may have missed it but I get the impression it is rare for her give top marks and to a still airing drama. That would be so risky with K dramas that can go rouge randomly close to the end. She has highly recommended a number of dramas that I have gone on to love too.

      Oh ya! I forgot to mention she gave it a 3 gold mine rating!

      My own review was independent of AveX’s, which is why it didn’t strike me to mention that 😂 She doesn’t review tw-dramas as often, so that makes it rare. Not sure a 3-gold mine is super rare, but I do know many people don’t align with her ratings at all, so it doesn’t matter as much.

      I trust tw-dramas generally more than k-dramas, and there’s a high chance they land better on average (although there have been some disasters – side eying Rainless Love, Arc of Life, as recent examples).

    Interesting. The trailer didn’t work for me and hence didn’t start. As much as I am starved for TW dramas I didn’t think this would be for me.
    And I didn’t care for the two dramas(k) you mentioned.
    Now I am curious. But not sure what needs to fall off my watchlist. Stop adding more dramas to my list 😬😬

      I did not like MTH (and didn’t finish), and was not interested in MIHY either. I honestly wasn’t interested in this when it started out, but Jen (forget her DB id) sold it to me as a slice of lifer and comedy, and it totally hits all those notes.

      After my watchlist emptied itself out post-Call It Love, I scrambled and added almost a dozen new ones 😂 Very few stuck, this is one of them. I don’t see anything else on the radar, but I will keep an eye out – just for you 😉

    I’m watching now!
    Though I’m still uncertain whether to continue. I should preserve, you say? 🙂

      Hello! Sorry for the delay, was travelling and disconnected. Umm, I’d say it’s an interesting and original story (IMO). I will not say I understood a lot of it, some of it was probably due to some cultural nuances lost in translation. But I enjoyed it for what it was. Some of the stories/ vignettes were especially lovely.
