Drama Digest
When a person is dead, they are either reborn or brought to numerous tiers of Heaven. They can progress through the levels by accumulating more points. Siu Yu, who is now on the 2nd level, is eager to reach the 3rd level in order to reconcile with her parents, who died when she was a youngster. To accomplish so, she works as a Life Manager, tasked with inflicting a particular amount of hardship on her client, Pak Ho. Pak Ho is a shy, nice young man who is tormented by his peers. Siu Yu is hesitant to complete her assignment due to her pity for her client, and instead finds herself assisting him.
The Feel-Good Part
Despite the fact that the drama is centered on romance, fantasy remains the central topic. Each character’s emotional past made it easy for me to become linked to them. The story regarding dimensions and “bringing disaster” struck me as very original. It was very intriguing. Not only the main characters’ stories piqued my interest, but so did the stories of the secondary characters. The connection progresses smoothly, with a well-handled fantasy element and a fantastic depiction of the imagined afterlife.
The Disappointing Factor
At first, certain scenes felt a touch slow and draggy. The kissing scenes between both the male and female leads were not very good, especially at the end when the female lead was about to leave the male lead for good; that was supposed to be a goodbye kiss filled with utmost grief, but it was just closed lips touching, no passion or despair, they were really just ‘acting,’ and I wasn’t moved at all. It demonstrates progress, although it can feel forced at times.

Overall Opinion
“Hello Missfortune” is a brief fairy drama with a love triangle-free romantic plot. The concept seemed to be unique, and the story was captivating. Suspense, romance, comedy, tragedy, and a startling amount of gore are all present in this film. In addition, the ending was rather realistic and fit well with the story’s conclusion.
