Catch the Ghost

Unfortunately, I had expectations for this series but the biggest turn-off for me was the romance. I believe the casting was not on point regarding this aspect. The driving case for this series was built perfectly, engaging and worth exploring. It even presented so many weaknesses to regulations and how they can be used against the law. If you are into the crime genre, this would be a good one.

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)

Kim Seon Ho proves he is an actor to watch in «Catch the Ghost». It is hard to get out once you've been trapped by Kim Seon Ho's charm. Not only by his looks, but by his natural acting skill. An actor with a capital A! He lives in every character he plays. The viewers remember each of them. He is Han Ji-pyeong whom we warmly embraced as the witty, kindhearted and loving guy in «Start-up». He is Hong Du-sik whom we love as the handy, adorable and mysterious Chief Hong in «Hometown Cha Cha Cha». He is Jin-gyu, the spoiled brat who turned out as caring and well-mannered guy in «Strongest Delivery Man». He is Jong Jae-yoon, the clever and loyal adviser to the prince in «100 Days My Prince». He is Gong Su-chang in «Two Cops», one of most lovable ghosts ever performed on screen! Who wouldn't be fascinated with Seon Ho's sweet and irresistible portrayal of Rae-wan in «You Drive Me Crazy»? He even gave a remarkable face to his supporting role as Sang-tae, a sweet and delightful officemate in «Mr. Kim/Good Manager». In «Welcome to Waikiki 2», he showed his potential talent as a comedian as Woo-sik's... that has been fully developed and was deeply admired when he joined the casts in 2D1N show.

All these characters mentioned, gave him a «good boy» image. Go Ji-seok in «Catch the Ghost» is no exception. He is good, kind and caring both as a police officer and a son. The hospital scenes with his mom is as touching as Ji-Pyeong's confrontation scene with grandma Halmoni in «Start-up». He acts yet it as if he does'nt... he seems to possess the person he plays on screen without trying hard at all. That is talent! The leading lady, Moon Geun-young deserves also an applause with her double performance as twins. Catch the Ghost is a good drama. A bit long? There are some scenes which are not necessary and needs to be cut off. Nevertheless, «Catch the Ghost» is entertaining, no doubt. I certainly enjoyed watching it.

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.

Honestly I loved this drama. Firstly, I really really like Moon Geun Young and Kim Se Hon( if I am not wrong). And the storyline, plot was like this that I was eagerly waiting for what will happen next. Also I felt little scared too. And Moon Geun Young's double part was truly fabulous. Also I wished more physical contact between them but I think the last kissing was enough. Because there was enough chemistry between them. Plus, there was really so so much funny scenes, that I laughed hard. So I will recommend this drama to watch. Happy watching.
