Heartwarming dramedy that sometimes loses the mix between comedy and horror

A heartwarming and healing show about loss, grief and obsession, Here Comes Trouble is a mix of comedy, horror and drama that sometimes loses the right balance between its various elements. But this early tonal confusion shouldn't stop viewers from persisting with a thoroughly enjoyable drama full of great performances and genuine pathos.

Pu Yiyong is a kind but somewhat aimless young man who experiences a terrible tragedy and wakes up to find he can perceive spirits: creations of human emotions that have been poured into objects and have developed their own desires. These spirits - grown by obsessive human emotions such as grief, loneliness and jealousy - come to him for help.

He teams up with cop ,Chen Yuying and former classmate, Cao Guangyan to help resolve the situations that have kept the spirits trapped.

As a Western viewer, the show is seeped in a mythology I don't know and do not entirely understand. But it's no barrier to watching a genuinely heartfelt exploration of the destructive power of obsession and the healing power of kindness.

Here Comes Trouble with make you laugh, make you cry and possibly even scare you depending on your appetite for horror. But as with the best of the genre, the problem is never the dead but the living. Humans are the monsters here. Malevolence is ultimately natural rather than supernatural. And kindness is our greatest weapon.

Tseng Jing Hua brings out all Yiyong's immaturity, uncertainty, grief, guilt and desire to help. He is heroic in his lack of desire for heroism, making him an inherently likeable and appealing character. It is this - the complex, multi-layered and three dimensional aspect to all the characters, even the villains - that makes the show shine.

Here Comes Trouble has something profound to say about the human experience but never preaches nor detours into saccharine fantasy. And while its tonal shifts between comedy and gruesomeness can be a bit much, in the end it ultimately works.
