Here Comes Trouble** (不良執念清除師) is a 2023 Taiwanese fantasy comedy-drama series in which a teenage delinquent who survives a bus crash gains the ability to see monsters formed from human obsessions, and dissolves those obsessions with his calligraphy. It was produced as an iQIYI original, written and directed by Lin Kuan-hui (林冠慧), and stars Tseng Jing-hua (曾敬驅), [Vivian Sung](https://www.edgepedia.org/vivian-sung) (宋芸樺), and Peng Chien-You (彭千祐)[1](https://www.iq.com/album/%E4%B8%8D%E8%89%AF%E6%89%A7%E5%BF%B5%E6%B8%85%E9%99%A4%E5%B8%88-2023-27nybrvgqat?lang=zh_cn).

A plane crash onto a bus kills Pu Yi-yong's father on the spot and leaves his grandfather in a coma; more than a year later, the badly injured Pu Yi-yong wakes up and finds that the words he writes in calligraphy have strange but troublesome powers[2](https://goldenhorse.org.tw/fpp/completed/detail/11006). Monsters are drawn to him. They are not ghosts in the usual sense but beings born from people's obsessions, regrets, grief, and desires, and they come to him asking for liberation[2](https://goldenhorse.org.tw/fpp/completed/detail/11006).\n\nAfter the accident, the 17-year-old wakes to find he has become an adult, and he decides he must choose a goal that can support his family; he tries to earn money with his brush, and the calligraphy keeps drawing trouble to his door[5](https://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/P2023041501/index.html). He is joined by [Chen Chu](https://www.edgepedia.org/chen-chu)-ying, a hot-blooded but clumsy precinct officer nicknamed \"one percent\" because she is the one officer in a hundred who keeps failing the promotion exam, and by Cao Guang-yan, a top medical student from a single-parent family who was Pu's high-school rival and moves in next door[5](https://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/P2023041501/index.html) • [10](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_22988801?commTag=true). The three stumble into a monster-hunting partnership that resolves one obsession after another[5](https://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/P2023041501/index.html).\n\nThe 12 episodes are organized into five units: the stone lion, the cadaver teacher, the sidewalk, the display doll, and the twins[3](https://vocus.cc/article/69a636a7fd89780001f944ae). Each unit runs about two episodes[11](https://www.nownews.com/news/6144636). The monsters embody unusual subjects: a river guardian spirit that has taken the form of a stone lion and then a sidewalk crossing figure, a tattooed lady inked on a cadaver used for medical dissection, and a lifelike doll made by a grieving mother whose daughter was kidnapped[5](https://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/P2023041501/index.html) • [4](https://www.gtv.com.tw/entertainmentNews.php?seqId=26FD7E04-453F-655A-5EB5-0F3AE1A1E340). Reviewers noted that the series treats death, workplace bullying, dying alone, and child loss through a comic, manga-inflected register, with the resolution of each obsession delivered through dialogue and Pu's eulogy couplets rather than combat[12](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23085570) • [13](https://www.dianyingjie.com.cn/2023/0526/364825.shtml).\n\n### Cast and characters\n\nTseng Jing-hua plays Pu Yi-yong, a rough-mannered but kind teenager whose one skill is fine calligraphy[5](https://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/P2023041501/index.html). Vivian Sung plays Chen Chu-ying, and Peng Chien-You plays Cao Guang-yan; both were praised in reviews, with Peng, about 30 at the time, playing a high schooler convincingly[14](https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/TaiwanDrama/M.1686302516.A.AED.html). Yang Chin-hua plays Pu's mother Ye Bao-sheng, a former delinquent who raised her son alone after her husband's death, and supporting and guest roles include Yao Chun-yao as the zombie-like crash victim, Fan Shao-xun as the cadaver teacher, Chia Chia (黑嘉嘉) as the tattooed lady, Joseph Cheng (鄭元暢) as a bereaved father, Chung Hsin-ling as the doll maker, and the Thai actor Chanon Santinatornkul in a special appearance[5](https://www.gtv.com.tw/Program/P2023041501/index.html) • [4](https://www.gtv.com.tw/entertainmentNews.php?seqId=26FD7E04-453F-655A-5EB5-0F3AE1A1E340).\n\n## Production and inspiration\n\nDirector Lin Kuan-hui has said the idea came from a bronze statue of a boy she found by the Yuanshan riverside, created by humans and then forgotten; imagining the statue's feelings led her to write about obsessions[15](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/amov/202305080183.aspx). She spent about a year and a half writing a script of six units, but the statue unit itself was cut for length[15](https://www.cna.com.tw/news/amov/202305080183.aspx). Shooting took place in January 2022, and the production companies were Third Man Entertainment and Mai Jia Fen Film Production, with iQIYI holding the rights[16](https://www.filmassist.ntpc.gov.tw/en/film/1262). The Golden Horse Film Festival project database credits production to Liang Ren Xing Films and Mai Jia Fen Film Production[2](https://goldenhorse.org.tw/fpp/completed/detail/11006).\n\nProducer [Li Yu](https://www.edgepedia.org/li-yu)-chien, general manager of iQIYI Taiwan, said the casting strategy paired first-time leads Tseng and Peng with the more experienced Sung, then surrounded the young actors with veteran performers[8](https://woman.udn.com/woman/story/123164/8289727).\n\n## Reception and awards\n\nThe series became a word-of-mouth hit after its release. Sanlian Lifeweek reported a Douban score of 8.8 from more than 80,000 users and called it the dark horse of the first half of 2023[6](https://www.lifeweek.com.cn/h5/article/detail.do?artId=207459); Persona Media and other outlets cited a score of 8.9[7](https://persona-media.com/drama-oh-no-here-comes-trouble/). It was nominated for nine awards at the 59th Golden Bell Awards, including best drama series, best director, best screenwriter, best leading actor, supporting acting categories, most promising newcomer, visual effects, and program innovation[8](https://woman.udn.com/woman/story/123164/8289727), and it was nominated for best drama and best actor at the 2023 Asian Television Awards[7](https://persona-media.com/drama-oh-no-here-comes-trouble/).\n\nCriticism centered on structure rather than tone. The Paper's review called the series warm but structurally simple, noting that unit stories of roughly an hour and a half often resolved in a few minutes of dialogue, and that the moral of each story was stated directly in the lines[12](https://www.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23085570). A reviewer for the same outlet's column praised the first unit's blend of mystery, supernatural, and family threads and the show's rapid shifts of style[11](https://www.nownews.com/news/6144636).\n\n## Second season status\n\nAs of June 2026, no second season had been officially announced for production or broadcast. Both Lin Kuan-hui and Tseng Jing-hua said in public responses that progress on a second season is at zero and that whether it is made depends on the investing platform, iQIYI[9](https://word.baidu.com/view/6a439374413610661ed9ad51f01dc281e53a56ea.html). In a 2024 interview, Lin said a second season could not simply repeat the one-story-per-episode format of the first, and Li Yu-chien said that units cut from the first season, including one covering the story's origin, had been retained and would support a second season once the material was ready, adding that she would not rush a script that was not good enough[17](https://www.mirrormedia.mg/story/amp/20241017insight001). Audience demand for a continuation rose again after Tseng won a best-actor honor at the Busan Asian Contents Awards in June 2026[9](https://word.baidu.com/view/6a439374413610661ed9ad51f01dc281e53a56ea.html).\n\n## References\n\n1.
