[edit] Synopsis
Maggi & Me chronicles the misadventures of a Singapore scam artist, Johnny Tan (Pang), who, during a phony seance that he set up to scam a couple of old women, befriends...by accident...the ghost of a deceased bride (Xie), who under unexplained circumstances, might have been murdered on her wedding night. This unusual pairing finds themselves working together in unlikely situations, along the lines of Ghostbusters and Ghost Whisperer, with a little Psych and Jennifer Slept Here thrown in for good measure.
Because he is the only one that can see her, Johnny has to keep his saneness because the spirit in question is also suffering from spectral amnesia: It appears that she doesn't remember anything about how she died or her mortal life, except for the letter M that she has on her necklace, which is why he decided to name her "Maggi" after the food products of the same name (its also his brand of cup noodles that he constantly eats). With that mystery surrounding her passing, Johnny also believes that he can put together the pieces of her puzzle and find out the truth about his spirited partner so her soul can finally rest in peace, even though Maggi is hoping for a chance at being reincarnated.
