Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble (2023, Taiwan)

Director, Writer & Creator: Lin Kuan Hui

Mini-review:

I don't know why I put off watching this for so long, cause it's really good. It includes so much stuff that I love: laugh-out-loud comedy, heartbreaking stories, supernatural elements and, most of all, a bunch of characters that burrow their way into your heart. The dynamic they share, specially between Yiyong and Guangyan, is incredibly fun. I feel like I could spend hours and hours watching them doing whatever together. And that's exactly what puts this drama miles ahead of other similarly supernatural-themed stories: the character writing is so damn good that you don't even care about the show's flaws, like the weak CGI. It certainly helps that the entire cast does a fantastic job, with Tseng Jing Hua giving a particularly unforgettable perfomance as the main character. Oh No! Here Comes Trouble is exactly what I needed right now, and I hope we get to see these characters again in the future.

Short reviews because I'm so busy trying to study and work at the same time.

In the meantime, I caught up with every BL I have put on hold or lost interest in throughout its run.

Wandee Goodday

The first episodes were really promising. They have very good chemistry and both of them are very good at acting out heart-eyes, making me wish for somebody to look at me like that. The pacing was good as well, the pilot really hit it off. But then the show kind of lost itself, episodes kept being uneventful and I still don't understand why they are oficially together in episode 10 when they both knew they are having feelings since episode 3. It's unnessecarily stretched out while them both overcoming their trauma is poorly written. They both had some issues regarding their parents and self-love and while that is interesting, I feel like their traumas weren't talked about a lot. Dee's trauma was "solved" within one of the four parts of episode 8 (I think?). And Yak overcame his guilt in 3 seconds after Dee showed up at his fight and told him to just let go. In what world does anyone heal that quickly?

The vaccine ads were more present than them overcoming their traumas.

Most episodes felt so long and I've skipped throught the last three. There are so many cringey speeches in front of audiences and love confessions that feel like the same lines are repeated over and over again. And don't get me started on Cher and Yei. I do not care about their relationship even if Cher is cute and Yei is good-looking. I like them with Yak and Dee but they barely had any scenes and then there's a random sex scene, so we feel like we are invested in their story but it's just a poor attempt to make us believe we're having a good time with them.

Rating: 5/10

My stand-in

I was really excited about Up's new series. I LOVED him in "lovely writer" and I couldn't wait to see the angst this show would bring. I still think the first 4 episodes are the best. Joe keeps hinting that something grand is about to happen, that meeting Ming meant his life will turn into a nightmare. I was really shocked when he died but I just cannot agree with Joe's choices. I'm not saying it doesn't make sense but it's very self-destructive to go back to the same agency and be around the same friends and have the same job while people can't recognize you but keep on talking about your past self. Joe complains about being Tong's stand-in, he repeats how much pain it caused him but he chooses to be his own stand-in and complains again? It frustrates me so much.

But I have to say, the amout of joy I felt when Tong was without money and helpless and chased after. He absolutly deserved it and I dislike they try to redeem him at the end. Throughout this whole show, I never felt like he truly loves May, yet in the end he says he does and she's like "okay". No. That's not how redemption works. And Joe helps him, takes a bullet for him and forgives him after one tiny "thank you"...? Tong has to do a lot more than that.

I don't like the way Ming doesn't respect Joe. They have an eye-opening conversation in the car, when Ming forces Joe to go with him and Joe loses it because he doesn't want to be there. In the end, the car stops, he storms off and Ming runs after him and hugs him from behind. After shaking Ming off, Joe keeps leaving and Ming hugs him again. Ming hugs Joe three times in that scene. I feel like Joe should just leave.

The story also feels like it's losing itself a bit at some points. It's not really necessary to have that whole "dad doesn't approve" story when it's clear as day he will come around. They went to such extremes, terrorizing Ming and Joe but it doesn't really make sense. Ming's parents change their minds within like 20 mins (at least it felt like it), so why did we get so many tears? Why was I invested? And why did Joe help Tong? Why in the world would Joe switch places with Tong? They just brush it off with "that's just what Joe does because he's so kind" but no, Joe is just unreasonable.

We are

This show starts with Peem painting and his off voice introduces us to him in a "hi, I'm Peem, I'm an arts student" kind of way. Honestly, the first time I watched this first scene, I immediatly closed the tab because most GMMTV shows that start like this end up being extremely boring. And after "never let me go", I was not convinced about Pond and Phuwin. I honestly didn't want to watch a show with them as the main leads and some of my problems were still seen in We are. But I'm not gonna name them since I'm not trying to badmouth people here.

But YouTube desperatly wanted me to watch this show, so I clicked on the first episode again and then I kinda bindged it lol. It's very funny, I love the friend group so much. Some people say there were too many couples but I feel like it was exactly right because if this show would have had two couples only, it would have been very boring. There is not much happening but the relationships make up for it. I felt alive watching this show and some scenes are so fast paced.

I hoenstly didn't expect Peem to bluntly kick Phum within the first 3 minutes. There were many scenes like that, especially when the friends were all together. There were some nice twists and jokes I didn't see coming but felt so authentic and not staged. The script is pretty good and it's an absolute gem.

Untitled Gastown AU, ch 2

The Guardian of Gastown was dead; no matter. They still had Immortan Joe by the balls. They just had to play their cards right.

Dementus fidgeted with his shackles. He had found himself in worse situations that this and come out on top.

“You’re making a mistake, a very costly mistake! I’ve got my best man back in Gastown keeping watch for me. He is a wizard with dynamite! Hoh no, you don’t want to cross the Octoboss!”

There was a nervous murmur of assent from his men. All of them, except History Man and the Organic Mechanic, had been made to kneel on the floor of the Immortan’s audience chamber, shackled neck-to-hand-to-foot. History Man, with his bad knees, had been given a box to sit on and ordered to keep his hands visible; Organic had been hauled off on Joe’s orders to who knows where.

“Octa-boss?” muttered one of Joe’s genetic anomaly sons, brow knit in confusion. The smarter, scabbier one brandished a shock prod at Dementus.

“You’re lying!”

“Nope! It’s all rigged to blow, if he don’t see me, he has his orders.”

“You are lying. About a number of things.” The gasmask may have hidden Joe’s face, but it did nothing to muffle his voice. Of all Dementus’ crew, he had shown the most interest in the girl—his Lil D!—and had separated her from the group even as he had the others put in chains. He’d questioned her, sitting down at her level, and to his horror she’s spoken her first words in over a year. Now the Immortan turned back to him.

“If you destroy Gastown you will have a limited supply of guzzoline; more than us, true. But you will be without water for your horde, and you will be in no position to trade for it. Your men will be faced with a choice to leave or die of thirst. You may be foolish enough to place yourself in that position, but is your man in Gastown?”

“Oh you have no idea. He’s completely unhinged, he’ll do it. If I tell him to-”

“Balderdash.” The fat man looked down his gilded nose at the biker lord. “If he’s any part of the reason you got this far, he won’t detonate his one chance to get any further.”

“The only reason you are still alive is because I find you useful.” Joe loomed over him. “For information and—perhaps—as a hostage. Your Organic Mechanic is attending one of my sons; if my son survives, perhaps I will spare your life. As for Gastown, the supplies available to your men are now limited. When my war rigs are ready, we will camp outside your gates and wait for thirst to drive your men out.”

“You think you will, eh? You’d be better off just letting us go. The Octoboss, he’s a tactical genius, and his Mortifiers will make you wish you never crawled out of this hole!” For some reason, at the mention of the Mortifiers several of his men began to shuffle uncomfortably. He put it down to the terror the Octoboss and his crew so rightly inspired. Joe glanced around at their faces, then back at him. Dementus grinned up at him.

Yeah, they still had Joe by the balls. The Octoboss had never let him down yet.
