Catch the Ghost

Nice mix of crime, drama, comedy, and romance. The latter, thank you, not too exaggerated.

It holds up suspense, keeps the twists turning, and brings nice performance of mostly sympathetic characters.

I often enjoyed watching it. But I have to take at some points off for the slumpy and often mindless police work. Probably it's realistic -hope not- and perhaps I am too used to the overstated strategic cleverness of the cop movies I watch, but this level of incompetence in thought, prejudice, and action was too much. Probably a stronger note of slapstick might have helped? And, I admit, cultural differences may have heightened this impression.

I didn't always liked the style of depicting autism. They could have chosen another mental disorder to show the behavior they wanted to display.

Also, I don't understand why the actor playing the homeless person in the hospital (Kim Cheol-Jin) doesn't get credits anywhere, I would have liked to know the actor's name.

The quality of German subtitles on Prime Video is very poor.

Still, I watched it till the end, and a few times binged three episodes. If you're in for some humor and suspense, give it a try.

" Catch the ghost " was an okay drama.

What I didn't like was some characters and the romance spin on the story. What I liked was the case, the action scenes and the way they wrapped everything together.

First of all, the main case was interesting. They managed to link everything together and, in the end, the final result was satisfying. The villain had background and it was nice that they didn't make it easy to figure out who the ghost was. The action scenes were pretty well managed too. However, the drama was interesting only at the begining and towards the ending. Thus, the main part was boring at times and didn't provide anything fresh.

Then there were the characters. Though I liked the male lead, who was overall a sweetheart, the female lead was annoying at times. It was clear and understandable that she did what she did to find her sister and solve her case, but she tended to ignore or forget her team and act on her own. The leader of the police team was extra unlikable as well. She was bullying the female lead for childish reasons and she acted unprofessionally and idiotic.

Finally, the romance was just not necessary. Or, at least, it didn't work for me. The love triangle was even worse, as it was hardly there in the first place.

That said, the performances were really good, from everyone in the cast, but especially the leading lady who was amazing as the sister and the subway cop.

So, overall, six out of ten.

No pun intended - the show begins really strong. I loved the first episodes and the play between the characters ... unfortunately it has a some ... well it slacks in my eyes a bit. Especially the one episode where the female lead is being quite irrational ... I mean she is overall right - but having her chase and trying to delete something from a phone? That is just ... well I'll call it crazy.

Still overall I like the characters and the flaws are not too big either. Maybe a bit too long (a few episodes shorter wouldn't have been that bad) ... but the really sweet and quite weird ending of the show wins points again ... if you can keep your interest until then of course. Well acted (comically speaking)

A true exciting hidden gem! I am glad I stumbled across this while looking at something else. It's a mystery that keeps you on your toes and waiting for the next episode to see what happens. I would give it more than 10 stars if I could! It's just that good!

Love the male lead, he's handsome, and one of the best actors ever! He makes you care about him. The FL is not pretty, she is cute in her own way, but also a very good actress, playing a double part! She pulls it off great. She is caring and has a big heart! She also makes you care for her and what happens to her!

Highly recommended, give it a watch, you won't be disappointed!

I liked a lot this fast-paced crime drama, with comedic and romantic aspects. I watched after getting acquainted with Kim Seon-Ho in Start-Up - it's a good follow up title, to enjoy his talent (and see him finally get the girl!).

It was interesting to see the lives of the subway police team who patrol the subway and catch criminals who engage in crimes on the subway. Along with interesting crime cases, the drama showed the emotional aspects of the people involved in the cases and the impact of the crimes in the lives of everyone involved, including the two police teams (subway team and investigations team).

The chemistry between the characters was good, and acting by the ensemble cast was engaging - I enjoyed each of the supporting characters and guests.

I also enjoyed the themes of refusing to settle when pursuing justice and dreams, filial and parental love, responsibility and accountability, redemption. Nicely wrapped happy end, resolving two love triangles in a satisfactory way.
