Consider the following simple example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\begin{document}
the first page
\clearpage
the second page  \label{key}
\clearpage
I want to return to page \pageref{key}, but return to page 1 when clicking the typeset number "2".
\end{document}

Why is the \pageref not working as expected?

Use \phantomsection\label{key} and try again. – Werner Sep 20 '17 at 04:51
@Werner nice! I deleted my comment because yours is easier and better way. – koleygr Sep 20 '17 at 04:52

When I use \phantomsection\label close to \section, it jumps me to just below the sectional title, but I want the same line of the sectional title. How to deal with this? – lyl Sep 20 '17 at 07:07
@lyl if you want to refer to a real section you don't need a \phantomsection... Just put the label in the real section in this case – koleygr Sep 20 '17 at 15:36
