Synopsis
When a person dies, they are either taken to many layers of Heaven or reincarnated. The deceased Poon Siu-yu died seven years ago at the age of 17 in the first dimension, "Human World". She entered the second dimension and joined the Life Administration Agency, becoming a novice destiny administrator. She is tasked to give out a certain amount of misfortune to Chan Pei-ho, a food delivery worker in the human world. Despite the rain and sunshine, Pei-ho works daily, earning just a little income, with his family paying little attention to him. The stumbling blocks in life make Pei-ho difficult to breathe. Moreover, he has to endure the obstacles Siu-yu causes him at work. Finding empathy for her client, Siu Yu is reluctant to fulfill her task and finds herself helping him. Pei-ho gradually discovers that this mysterious girl is not an ordinary being. As the story unfolds, Siu-yu recalls the reason for her death and how she was mercilessly killed, in which Pei-ho was indirectly involved, realizing there is a deliberate link that dragged them back together. The two, despite everything, develop a love story that most likely wouldn't work out.
Production and background
Executive produced by Dave Fong, the central theme of Hello Missfortune talks about how one can make wrong decisions when facing different opportunities in life. When that happens, they need to endure loss and learn how to redeem themselves.[2] The series featured Erica Chan in her first leading role.[6] Fong was deeply impressed with Chan's professionalism and learning motivation during her previous cameo roles and decided to cast her as the female lead, feeling she has the "right temperament" for the character.[7][8] Chan deliberately took an acting course before filming to be fully prepared.[9] Singer-songwriter Vivian Koo also made her acting debut appearing in a supporting role. She was "moved" by the storyline, which inspired her to co-write a song, "With You", for the soundtrack.[10][11] Principal photography took place approximately from April to June 2021.[12] A few details in the storyline made references to the classic film Days of Being Wild (1990) and TVB series, including Gods of Honour (2001) and When Heaven Burns (2004).[13]
