The Resurrected (2025, Taiwan)

Directors: Leste Chen and Hsu Chaoyen

Writers: Shen Yang, Yi Shuaijie and Luo Xiaorui

Mini-review:

I'm always up for a revenge thriller, especially for one with such an exciting cast and this sort of supernatural twist. The revenge plot itself is mostly satisfying, with many threads involved, and the show also has a really biting sense of humor. Tbh, the narrative is a bit messy. The constant jumps between years and countries can get seriously confusing at times, so you need to pay close attention, considering the number of characters and important events. Sometimes it takes a bit too long to reveal certain details, and it can feel like there are plot holes, but they're eventually explained. (Except for the ending, where they lost me a bit). Still, the drama boasts seriously impressive production values and tremendous performances by its superb cast. I wouldn't say The Resurrected is flawless, but I definitely enjoyed it.

P.S. This is one of those stories with a lot of triggering content, so check warnings before watching.

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.
