The Teenage Psychic

The Teenage Psychic is a coming-of-age story that revolves around Xiao Zhen , played by Kuo Shu Yau , a 16-year-old girl who just wants to lead a typical teenage high school life. Born with the ability to see spirits, her life will never be normal. Xiao Zhen must juggle the pressures of teenage life – first love, academic success and peer pressure – with the demands of the spirit world. As Xiao Zhen learns to use her abilities to help the living deal with their loved ones on the other side – spirits who are lost, forgotten, angry or just crying out for help – this teenager finds that fixing other people’s problems gives her the strength she needs to navigate high school and her first major romantic encounter. Xiao Zhen’s powers become a danger for her as others seek to use her abilities for their own greed.

The series’ entire Taiwanese cast include Kuo Shu Yau [Step Back To Glory The Devil Game], Kent Tsai [Mon Mon Mon Monsters ], Chen Mu Yi [Comes The Black Dog ], Alina Cheng [Love At Seventeen ], Nana Lee [Youth Power One Million Star], Michael Huang [Wake Up ] and Sylvia Hsieh [You Light Up My Star].

The 52nd Golden Bell Awards will be held in Taiwan on Saturday, 30 September 2017.
