Pretty unique concept, and nice message :)
"Hello Missfortune" is a short fantasy drama, with a romance-centered plot without any love triangle. The concept seems rather unique, and the story was very interesting.
Story
The story starts with our FL, Yu, arriving in the futuristic 2nd dimension, which is like a first stage of the afterlife, after having died in the real world, which is the 1st dimension. Here she has to work to gain points for moving up to the 3rd dimension. She wants to quickly move up to follow her parents, who have died a long time before her. The work is to either bring luck or misfortune to the humans in the human realm. Yu draws our ML, Pei-Ho, whom she has to bring a certain amount of misfortune every day. As he is poor and depressed already, she starts feeling bad for him, and also, through PauPau, finds a way to meet him in person. She falls in love with him. But things are not as they seem at first.
Cast & Characters
Yu (Female Lead), played by Erica, is a kind-hearted, sweet, and rather optimistic spirit. She has a big heart for others. Her goal is to follow her parents to the 3rd dimension.
Pei-Ho (Male Lead), played by Hubert Wu, is a kind-hearted but depressed person in the human world. He is very poor, and luck doesn't seem to be on his side. A past event made him feel unworthy of many things.
Pau-Pau (Second Lead Character), played by Mayanne Mak, is also a spirit in the 2nd dimension, and a total foodie. She is quite courageous and carefree. She is all talk, yet has her heart in the right place. She resembles an older sister, who leads you on to do forbidden things. xD I honestly like Mayanne a lot as an actress.
Tino (Second Lead Character), played by Mark Ma, is a boastful and carefree spirit in the 2nd dimension. He is a poser and a flirt, until he regains his memories of his life in the human world, that is. I liked him a lot too! ^-^
My Opinion
Although the romance stands in the center of the drama, the fantasy is still the main theme – Which I loved, since I'm a fan of fantasy anyway. Also, there is no love triangle or annoying character whatsoever. I liked all the main characters, as well as the acting of the respective actors and actresses. The emotional backstory of each character made me get attached to them easily.
I found the story about dimensions and "bringing misfortune" pretty unique. It was definitely interesting. Not only the story of the main leads, but also the stories of the second leads had me curious the whole time.
There are some scenes that felt slow and a little draggy at the beginning. It also had its fun parts, tho! The second half of the drama was a little darker. That's when elements of mystery, crime and suspense were added, much to my liking. I also liked the messages the drama delivered.
There were some things that bugged me a little, but overall I enjoyed the drama a lot. It was totally binge-able! If you like fantasy, and have some time to spare: Watch it! :)

Finally, I want to end my review with my favorite quote of the drama, that describes the story quite well:
"When one, two, three and four coincidences come together, they can't be coincidences. It's all meant to be. It's just that you are being too ignorant, or you don't know yet. When it's time for you to know, you will."
