A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Boss.

It's very late. Go home.

We can talk tomorrow.

Actually, I've been thinking.

Is the friend who lent you his coat

the one you had in mind during the tarot reading?

Inverted wheel of fortune.

That means this is something that you think is meant to be.

But the one who picks this card

will have bad relationships in the future.

Most of the time,

it's like a trial arranged by God for you.

I know I'm not that man,

but I'm serious about you.

Boss.

Just call me Po-ya.

Po-ya.

I know that you're nice to me.

Thank you for liking me.

But I am someone who doesn't even know who I am.

-I don't think I can-- -I don't mind.

I don't mind who you are.

And no matter who you are, you're Meng Hsin-yu to me.

You're you.

I'm willing to slowly find your memories with you.

However,

before going into a relationship,

I think I should find the answer first.

Don't be scared.

I'm here.

I'll always be with you.

You know what?

Someone confessed his feelings to me.

I can't believe that someone likes me.

I'm sorry.

Was that really him earlier?

What's wrong with him?

He usually sends me stickers.

Now, he doesn't read or reply to my messages.

Meng Hsin-yu, what exactly are you doing?

Perhaps he doesn't like you at all.

How embarrassing.

I'll take you to work.

The weather is a bit cold, so I'm keeping your hand there.

Don't think too much of it.

The weather was just a bit cold, so he kept my hand in there.

It's nothing.

It's nothing.

Meng Hsin-yu, stop being ridiculous.

I'm sorry.

I felt bad for you earlier, so I wasn't able to control myself.

I hope you don't mind.

Boss.

My dear.

My hands are cold too.

Can you keep them warm for me too?

I think Cheng-huang keeps teaching you bad techniques.

You'd be at a disadvantage if you listen to him.

Do you want me to help you?

Don't come if there's nothing important. I'm exhausted today.

I have something important indeed.

Hey,

can you work seriously?

You're the Ghost King.

Now, even a rookie ghost doesn't know you

and keeps roaming around in front of you.

That's so embarrassing.

You made this?

Aside from catching ghosts, I didn't expect you to have this talent.

I won't hold myself back then.

You're so petty.

Why are there so many people here?

-I don't know. -Boss.

Are you Li En-hsi?

What do you want?

It's none of your business. Go away.

We only have business with her.

I'm here. Why are you looking for me?

Your mom owes us money and it has been a while.

-I can only come to you for the payment. -I have no money.

-Find her if you want the money. -Come with me then.

-Hey. -Come here.

-What are you doing? -Let me go!

-Let me go! -En-hsi.

-Let me go! -En-hsi!

Let me go!

No! En-hsi.

-En-hsi. -Let me go!

Chung Cheng-nan!

CHINESE SPELLS AND CHARMS

Chung Cheng-nan!

If only he's as diligent with work.

Game over again?

How boring.

If this goes on, when will this case be closed?

It seems like it's time for me to make a move.

One more round.

Let me go!

Let me go!

You dare to bite me?

You crazy bitch!

Let go!

Go away!

Don't touch my daughter. Go away!

You're finally here.

I knew you'd come.

Take me if you want, but don't touch my daughter.

Let go! Let me go!

You…

Let me go!

Who are you?

You better not cause any trouble.

It's none of your business. Scram!

Who exactly are you?

Come on, let's go.

Are you all right, En-hsi?

Mrs. Li, have some tea.

This can calm you down.

En-hsi, have some too.

Are you all right?

You suddenly shouted like that.

When such a thing happens,

how can I not fight back?

I'll let you two talk.

Let me ask you.

What's this?

Why are you seeing a psychiatrist?

Since Dad died,

you started drinking and gambling.

Did you start seeing a psychiatrist since then?

En-hsi.

En-hsi.

Get me some wine.

En-hsi, come and eat.

Mom, what did you buy?

Your favorites. Come on.

There are fried dumplings

and…

Mom, what happened to your hand?

Did someone hit you?

No.

I accidentally fell.

Come on, eat.

I'll be inside.

Did someone hit you or not?

Stop playing mahjong, okay?

Mom!

Say something.

What exactly is going on?

I started seeing a doctor

a few years ago.

I went to see a doctor because…

I want to quit drinking.

You also know

that I keep drinking,

then I buy funds and make investments and stuff.

I lost a lot of money.

I know that you're mad at me.

That's why I want to quit drinking.

Actually, I came to see you today to say goodbye.

Because I've already decided

to go to a rehabilitation center.

Trust me.

I've already paid back most of the money.

I just didn't expect that the loan shark

would come to you and do this because I haven't paid him yet.

So…

You kept asking me for money before

to pay back your debt?

I caused the trouble after all.

And I didn't know what to tell you

to make you believe

that I'm serious about changing my ways.

I'm really sorry.

Are you telling the truth?

I saved some money.

I just don't know if they would be enough to pay your debts.

Mom.

I really hope that you'll stop gambling and drinking.

This…

This way, we can live a proper life.

I'm really sorry.

You've been suffering all this while.

It's not like I haven't suffered before.

Anyway,

I'll study hard.

Let's start over.

Okay.

Let's start over.

All right, stop crying.

Nothing bad happened.

I'm glad.

I'm happy.

Let's start over.

Hsin-yu.

Why are you staring at me?

Since you're happy now after reconciling with your mom, I'm also happy.

That's good.

If you don't mind, on our next day off, come with me to the rehabilitation center.

The mountain and the river are nice. The specialists are taking care of them.

-Sure. -Okay.

Welcome.

She's so beautiful.

Long time no see.

Do you know me?

Give me a cup of coffee

with the taste of life.

Hey.

I heard you can read tarot cards.

Free tarot card reading if you have coffee here.

What do you want to know?

Anything is possible?

I want to know about

the past and current lives.

Hers.

I'm sorry.

I don't have that capability.

I can't do it.

You can't do it, but I can.

Do you believe me?

Meng Hsin-yu.

Regarding your past life…

Even if Lady Meng lost her memory,

I didn't expect that she's still very good at making drinks.

You're doing this on purpose.

It's so good.

Do you want to have a sip?

No, thank you.

Do you want me to feed it to you?

-What the heck? -Come on.

-Gosh, no. -Come, I'll feed it to you.

-There's no need. -Come on.

Please put it down. There's no need.

What is their relationship?

I'm not sure either.

You've had a change of heart after coming here for a few days.

Change of heart? What are you…

Could they be a couple?

We're not!

You heard me whispering?

May I ask

if you know me?

Of course.

And I also know

about your relationship with Cheng-nan.

Don't mind her. That's not true at all.

She always likes to speak nonsense.

Come with me.

I haven't finished my coffee yet.

It's finished now.

Let's talk outside.

Don't be so rough.

It doesn't seem like they're just friends.

-Goodness. -Can you not cause any trouble?

Am I causing trouble?

I'm helping you.

You're helping me?

-Can you be more serious? -More serious?

Sure.

Let me ask you then.

You already know where Lady Meng is.

Why didn't you inform us?

I want to use Lady Meng as bait to lure Wu Ching-yuan out.

You know that Lady Meng is similar to a human now.

Why are you letting her keep all the memories that she shouldn't have?

Do you know

that she has always liked you

when she was in the Underworld?

I know, but I can't…

Why not?

It's all in the past. Why do you care so much?

I do care.

And I know how she felt, so I don't dare to make her feel sad.

If she feels sad,

she won't fall for you regardless if she remembers you or not.

I think she's fine as she is.

I'll erase her memories if I must.

Let her keep the beautiful memories during this time.

Is it for her to keep

or for you?

I finally found you.

Look closely. I'm so cute.

How can you be mistaken?

I respect your choice,

but you must work harder.

After all, your rival

is coming in full force.

Boss.

Do you want some coffee?

This is for you.

I passed by a flower shop and bought these for you as they look so nice.

Look at him.

He's so good at pursuing girls.

Giving flowers is very basic.

Learn from him.

Thank you.

Well,

if I were Lady Meng,

I'd surely choose him.

He's tall and handsome,

thoughtful and gentle.

If she can date a man like that,

it would be worth it even if she could never be

Lady Meng again.

You…

So romantic.

He even gave you flowers.

Stop making a fuss.

Who says I'm making a fuss?

I heard that red roses signify that he passionately loves you.

Sir, do you need anything?

He's my friend, Chung Cheng-nan.

He's my boss, Lu Po-ya.

Hi, Mr. Chung.

How much was that cup of coffee? I forgot to pay.

It's 65 dollars.

Give me the change.

Doesn't this upset the professor?

Keep the change.

Look at him.

He's so good at pursuing girls.

Giving flowers is very basic.

Learn from him.

She's her friend. If I do anything to her, I'm doomed.

Forget it.

Giving flowers is so old-fashioned. It doesn't suit me.

He was acting so strange today.

Is it because of that beautiful woman?

Or is he mad

because I'm holding these flowers?

Forget it.

Let's see if he has got off from work.

Boss, why are you here?

Didn't I tell you to call me Po-ya?

It's hard to suddenly change it.

I'm here to pick you up from work.

But I want

to walk home today.

I'll walk with you then.

The weather is so nice today.

He just won the round, right?

Not necessarily. The winner hasn't been determined yet.

Is there nothing to do in the Underworld?

Why are you two so free and keep hanging out here?

-I'm here to help a friend in need. -I'm here to help a friend in need.

Little Kuei-kuei.

I've known you for so long…

I told you.

Don't call me that.

Big Kuei-kuei.

I've known you for so long.

Finally,

this thousand-year ice mountain is about to melt.

How can I not help out?

That's right.

Is there anything more important than my dearest friend?

Am I a loyal friend or not?

I know how you feel.

Your heart must be hurting, right?

Should I blow on it?

Right, so we must defy difficulties and danger.

What are you planning to do?

My friend.

Don't thank me or cry from gratitude yet.

Listen to me carefully.

Human Realm's third dating technique.

Be neither friendly nor aloof, keep the girl guessing.

Look, even if you have a rival now,

don't be rash.

As they say, "Play hard to get."

The more you show that you don't care,

the more it will attract the girl's attention.

Take a look.

Cheng-nan, why are you ignoring me?

Go away.

Cheng-nan.

Cheng-nan, don't go.

Be quiet.

Are you done?

Play hard to get?

If he goes on this way, his target would be taken.

What is that guy's hand doing?

Don't be agitated.

Didn't I tell you not to be rash?

Be good, calm down.

Move.

Listen to me.

There are four important pointers in pursuing a girl.

Be thick-skinned, relentless,

committed, and determined.

Don't let your rival get any chances.

Then you win at least 50 percent over him.

Fifty? You won't win even one percent.

Thank you for walking me home.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

There's a leaf on your hair.

Is it still there?

Go home and get some rest.

I'll get going then.

Good night.

Good night.

If he takes the initiative like you, that would be really nice.

Old Chin, I can't believe you pushed me.

Why are you here?

What a coincidence. You're here too?

This is my home. Of course I'm here.

Why are you here?

Me?

I'm hungry, so I came out for supper.

Yes, I'm out for some supper.

You're dressed like this

to buy supper?

I was so hungry, so I went out in a rush.

I forgot to change my clothes.

Yes.

Do you live nearby?

It's considered near.

Then…

What are you going to buy for supper?

I just came out to take a look.

I don't know what I want to eat either.

This is nice.

The spicy flavor is nice.

Are they having an awkward conversation?

I think it's quite cute.

I didn't expect you to support them.

Then…

Do you want to have supper together?

Sure.

But it's already so late.

Where should we go?

How about going to my place?

Sure.

Your place is near anyway.

Yes.

It's quite near.

Let's go.

That way.

What kind of perverted invitation is that? They're going to his place?

Well done.

Let's see what will happen tonight.

You're so rich.

Why are you working at the bakery?

Didn't you tell me to help Mrs. Wu out?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Nothing.

Hey.

Can I ask for another favor?

What is it?

Please help Mrs. Wu.

So…

Is it really because of me?

As long as it's you who's asking, I'll do it.

Where is the refrigerator?

I'll cook supper for you.

At the back.

Refrigerator.

Refrigerator.

Why is there no food in your refrigerator?

Doesn't that beautiful woman from this afternoon

come to cook for you?

Who?

Which beautiful woman?

The one that's…

That one.

You mean Old Chin?

How can she cook?

It's good enough she doesn't mess up my house.

She comes to your house often?

What are you doing?

What are you planning to do?

I should ask you that.

Why are you asking so many questions?

Let me see

who came so late at night.

That was close.

Those two…

I'm already hiding here and they won't let me off.

But they're quite perceptive.

There's no need to thank me.

Whatever Lady Meng cooks, just leave a bowl for me.

What are you doing?

It's…

It's the delivery or my order earlier.

Delivery?

They deliver fresh ingredients too?

Yes. They deliver everything.

Where can I cook these then?

Over there.

Give them to me.

Do you want to taste it for me?

Sure.

How does it taste?

It's very sweet.

It's very sweet?

It's not sweet.

It's salty.

What are you talking about?

Get some utensils and bowls.

Okay.

Here they are.

Thank you.

Under these circumstances,

will he confess his feelings later?

She looks very nervous.

What should I say that won't shock her?

Doesn't it suit your taste?

No. It's very good.

Really?

Yes, it's very delicious.

It's hot…

It's really hot.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Did you finish it already?

There are still some left.

It's good.

You have some…

It's still there.

Thank you.

You've finished yours already?

Yes.

Then…

I'll wash them for you.

Hsin-yu.

I'll do it.

I'll wash these then.

What exactly am I doing?

Well…

It's late. I should get going.

I…

I'll get going then. Bye.

Goodbye.

Hsin-yu.

You really won't go after her?

You were so close.

Why is Little Kuei-kuei so useless?

Are you two done? Shut it.

Does he live on Mars?

Why don't I know what he's thinking?

What are you doing?

What's the matter?

Why do you look so sad?

Is it because of

Professor Lu's aggressive pursuit

and you can't handle it?

Of course not.

I have a question that I always want to ask you.

Why don't you like Professor Lu?

I know that he is very nice, gentle, and thoughtful,

but I don't know why…

I feel an unexplainable

sense of distance.

Also,

it seems like I'm really a bit scared of him.

Is that so?

The girls in our faculty

pursue him like zombies whenever they see him.

You, however, have no reaction at all.

Or is it because

he's your boss?

So you're scared of him?

Maybe.

What are you thinking about again?

I just feel so anxious.

Now, I just want to know who I am and what's my past.

This way,

perhaps I'll be braver.

Don't think too much.

Just remember one thing.

Regardless if your memories come back or not,

I'll always be your good friend.

Why are you so nice?

Thank you.

WE MISS YOU, LOVE, RIP, GOOD LUCK

YOU WON'T FEEL HURT IN THE OTHER WORLD ANYMORE.

THE WORLD HATES PEOPLE WHO ARE DIFFERENT,

BUT I BELIEVE YOU CAN BE LIKABLE NEXT TIME.

My parents died in an accident.

There's no insurance payout and no savings.

That's what happened.

But I'll still pay my tuition fee.

Please give me some more time.

These people are such hypocrites.

They feign concern after she's dead.

En-hsi.

Professor, you're here.

Why are you looking for me?

Professor.

Do you know why Hsin-yu won't accept your feelings?

That's because Hsin-yu lost her memories.

She said that she doesn't even remember who she is.

So she doesn't have the right to decide if she likes someone or not.

I already know what you want to tell me.

But why are you helping me?

Because…

Because I feel that

it's impossible for anyone not to like you.

What?

I mean…

You're a good person.

Hsin-yu is my good friend.

I want her to be happy.

Besides,

just because Hsin-yu lost her memories,

I don't want her to stop enjoying the present

and stop working hard for her future.

Okay.

I got it.

I'll make Hsin-yu happy.

Straighten your hand when kneading the dough.

Focus it on your body.

Use your body's strength, not brute force.

What's the matter?

Why are you so distracted?

No, I…

I…

What is it?

Say what you want to say. Don't mumble.

You'll find out sooner or later anyway.

Boss, let me ask you this.

Do you like Hsin-yu?

If you really like Hsin-yu, you must be careful.

Professor Lu is aggressively pursuing her.

Listen. My highest record was getting dumped 12 times in a month,

so I can't help you out.

But if you need money, tell me.

I'll help you.

Why do I need financial help from you?

And what aggressive pursuits?

He's just her employer.

Boss, don't you know the latest story?

Do you see Yao Mu-ching outside?

It's her birthday party tonight.

Professor Lu asked Hsin-yu to be his date.

And last time, I saw them shopping together myself.

Let me ask you.

Has she been following you around like this lately?

Yes. I find it strange too.

It's so strange.

Does Cheng-huang really know what he's doing?

What kind of outfit is this?

I can't breathe.

If you're not used to your shoes,

you can hold onto me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

-I'll do it. -Okay.

You really won't go after her?

If you don't, she'll be his girlfriend.

Boss.

Wu Ching-yuan showed up.

His location is the bakery.

-Happy birthday. -Thank you.

Yao Mu-ching looks so different.

Is that so?

Yes, she's a bit strange.

Really? How so?

I can't describe it.

Who's that?

She doesn't seem to be our schoolmate.

Is there such an elegant girl in our school?

Why haven't I seen her before?

Hsin-yu looks so beautiful today.

Hello, Professor Lu.

I'll go and say hi.

Are you fine by yourself?

Yes, go ahead.

Wait for me.

-Professor Lu, long time no see. -Long time no see.

This is regarding university matters. Can we go somewhere quieter to talk?

Okay.

This way, please.

This smell…

En-hsi, let's go.

Hsin-yu.

Tonight, I'll protect you.

Ouyang.

Who are you?

Did I invite you to my birthday party?

-She's… -Hsin-yu is my friend.

-Professor Lu… -Did I ask you?

-Don't be rude. -Did I say you can talk to me?

I got it.

She's your friend?

Isn't the friend of poor people poor as well?

After she takes off her clothes, wouldn't she go back to who she is?

What are you saying?

I'm saying that my birthday party doesn't suit you guys.

Before you embarrass yourselves, leave.

Save your energy.

I, Ouyang Kai, brought them.

I'll bring them out of here.

Hsin-yu, let's go.

Who are you?

Why are you using someone else's body?

Hsin-yu.

What do you mean by that?

Yao Mu-ching, what are you doing?

What's wrong with you lately?

And what exactly is Hsin-yu talking about?

My hand accidentally slipped earlier.

Your hand slipped?

Give and take. You're welcome.

What are you doing?

Are you done?

You better stop now.

Let's go.

It's my birthday today.

Stay with me.

Happy birthday.

Is that enough?

Let's go.

Ouyang Kai!

Boss, you guys are here?

What happened?

Before you came, the lights in the entire place were flickering.

Then a strong ghost aura emerged.

Hsiao-chi went after it.

What about Mrs. Wu?

She's already sleeping.

I'll stay here, so don't worry.

Give Chia-chun back to me!

-He's mine! -Chia-chun!

Who the hell are you?

Don't touch me!

-Let me go! -No!

Why are you so rough?

You're crazy.

Chung Cheng-nan.

Hide first.

What's going on?

It must be the piano music.

What do we do? He couldn't stop.

I have an idea.

It's so strange.

-What's going on? -What's happening?

Help me.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

-That hurts. -Now what?

What happened to us just now?

It's so strange.

-What's going on? -That hurts.

Are you really fine?

But you don't look good.

Don't worry, I'm fine.

Hello?

I'm just preparing to leave.

Fu, any news?

Hsiao-chi didn't catch him.

But the ghost aura disappeared as well.

Continue watching him.

Also, tell Cheng-huang to investigate someone for me.

Yes.

Stand properly, Ouyang Kai.

He suddenly became very angry.

That's why

I dragged him away immediately.

Stand properly!

All right. I feel at ease since Professor Lu is taking you home.

Sleep early. I'll take Ouyang Kai home first.

Okay, bye.

Ouyang Kai, stand properly!

Walk on your own.

En-hsi, help me walk.

Hsin-yu.

Hsin-yu.

You're home.

Thank you.

Wait a minute.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about today.

I can't believe that happened.

Po-ya.

I want to ask you.

What exactly happened tonight?

I'm guessing that they were controlled by a mysterious power.

But they shouldn't be targeting you.

How do you know the way to resolve the problem?

I teach these things in university.

Didn't you know?

Is that so?

Yes.

If you're interested in metaphysics and science,

you're welcome to listen to my class anytime.

You must be tired.

Go home and rest.

I'll get going. Bye.

Bye.

Hsin-yu.

If you don't feel well,

you must let me know.

If he could like me like you do,

that would be so nice.

I'll go ahead.

Stand properly.

Wait.

Go inside.

Be careful.

This place is so grand.

He's really rich.

Come on. This way.

Don't fall down.

Stand properly.

We're almost there.

You're unexpectedly troublesome after drinking.

I won't let you drink again.

It's so late.

Who can it be?

Yao Mu-ching.

Why are you here?

GOD CAN ONLY PITY ALL THE UNFAIRNESS IN LIFE,

HE CAN'T INTERFERE.

CHUNG KUEI
