I fallin for the supporting actors!
This is the first time for Kim Seon Ho play as a male lead, but the character is not as strong as Geun Young , i think. Maybe this isn’t popular but ji_seok — yoo ryung romance is not so well developed. Yoo ryung is too selfish for Ji Seok, and Ji Seok is too selfless! man that is toxic! ?The best part of this drama for me is the relationship between Ji Seok and his Mom! Kim Seon Ho is really an emotive actor, and everytime he did something for his mom, my heart fluttered, imagining myself having a great son as him. The climax scenes between them is so emotional so its torn my heart. What dissapointing is, the female lead, Yoo Ryung, seems didn’t care at all about Ji Seok mom. Reversely, Ha Ma Ri, the sad girl, was care so much, and really tryin to understood Ji Seok condition.
the other supporting role that i admire is the villain ___ the victim of people ignorance. He played his role perfectly, i almost thought that he was innocent! wow, because he is only a man with full of love to his daughter, oh i cry again for this man while write this review.

Overly annoying FL
BIG WARNING TO ALL KSH FANS WHO WANTED TO ENJOY THIS DRAMAThe female lead got me all worked up
I'm normally a good guy that strongly condemn violence against female
BUT THAT FL made me feel like I wanna slap her every time she did things her own way without caring about the consequences on other people
The story might wanna write her as that "Strong female with unshakable sense of justice" but it just didn't work
She ended up being that "Self-centered person that only care about what she wants"
I stopped watching at ep 9 or 10 after she decided to not follow a case that the team was set up to, and drag her boss (KSH) into trouble cz she just feel like doing other case
That was the point where I was like "That's enough, she really deserve some big backhand smash"

Interesting concept
Concept: Catch the Ghost had an interesting concept as it was my first time watching a series on the Subway Police. The cases shown in the drama was entertaining too. I also liked how the drama weaved in real life problems, which made the drama relatable.Characters: Yoo Ryeong (FL) was not a character that one will like right from the start compared to Go Ji Seok (ML). However, things turned out better at the story progresses and at some point, I start to relate to her and the reason behind the things she do. Character aside, both the FL and ML looked quite cute as an on-screen couple with their small bickering and chemistry as partners at work.
The other police in the Subway Police force also added their weight to the drama, be it at serious scenes or comical parts to liven up the drama.
Recommendation: For people who like to watch crime genre dramas with some romance involved, this is a pretty good series to watch.
Where I watched it: VIU TV

I found the plot kind of interesting for 2/3 of the drama, even though there were some inconsistencies, especially in the fact that the unit initially in charge of the case was doing a TERRIBLE job.
But once the solution got clearer, it really made no sense. The ending took 5 episodes that were really badly written in my opinion.
If you have nothing else to do, the drama is relaxing and fun but dont expect a good ending.

a pretty decent watch
i decided to watch this one because of my new found love for kim seon ho and i dont regret watching it...the drama is set in the subway station and showed the kind of cases the subway police has to deal with... their job was pretty much calm and quiet with some petty cases here and there until the FL joins them... she is extremely reckless and will do the exact opposite of the rules and regulations a police officer must follow...
i liked the overall story and the villian and the mystery... there are only two things i dont like... the way the FL's character was written and the length... the drama could have been tightly packed without any romance and focusing mainly only on the cases... by the end, it felt like the police was unnecessarily playing cat and mouse with the villain just to reach ep 16...
the FL and her reckless behaviour came out as irritating rather than badass... dont know whether its the writer's fault or the director's, i just couldn't connect with her or sympathize with her... its not like moon geun young is a bad actress who cannot portray her role properly as she was amazing as the 2nd character... the fault lies with the makers... there is a fine line b/w being badass and annoying... the FL crossed that line when she put the ML in difficult positions repeatedly and unapologetically for her own personal reasons... also they made the entire police department dumb and ignorant just so she can shine... thats quite unreal... it would have been fine if she was shown as this super-smart go-getter kind of character before she joined the police force but they show her to be just a very ordinary girl who was leading an average life... suddenly after just 2 years she is smart enough to put an entire group of experienced police officers behind... its not even like she was in the force for 2 years... the FL remembering the entire subway blueprint is the only thing that seemed real as she was overly obsessed over it for 2 yrs... the makers overdid her character to the level i didn't sympathize with her when she was desperately looking for her mentally challenged sister... on the other hand i actually felt bad for the SFL even though she was rude and arrogant because what the ML did to her was unfair... he broke up with her for his own good and then moved on to another girl right in front of her without giving her a proper closure... her rudeness, jelousy and lack of empathy wasnt overdone to the level i felt irritated with her...
i liked how they showed what people who look after mentally challenged people go through... the way the ML looked after his mother is heartwarming... also they shed light on how women are violated in the metro stations and how men get away with it by hiding behind the crowd...
this drama is heavily underrated even though it has few flaws... i guess if kim seon ho did this after startup, it would have been more popular...

A plot with flawed characters that I considered controversial - as it is based on a bad, perhaps immoral action that leaves anyone puzzled. Its romance neither felt rushed nor ever overlapped the main crime intrigues. The performances were amazing - kudos to Moon Geun Young for playing not one, but two characters! and to Kim Seon Ho for bracing so many emotions wonderfully from start to finish. Another great thing was the timing: tvn really knew when to cut the episodes and when to switch on and off themes. I grew fond of everyone.
However, it was weak on many aspects: most osts were quite bland, there are some odd camera angles here and there; when they ended an episode on a climax, it easily dialled down in less than 5 minutes of the following one - it isn't a big problem when you're able to binge, sure! The second female lead could've had much more spotlight- most second leads in kdramas get reduced to a sample role (obsessed ex girlfriend, best friend, etc) but Ma Ri was intriguing because of her almost holy commitment to justice and rule-like personality. And there was also one particular plot decision they choose that irked me, because it felt far too fantasy-ish for a crime drama (spoiler: the mom getting her memory back just when it was needed to, then forgetting it).
If anything, the only big disappointment was the fact that there are not any real ghosts in it. :p

I was impressed. highly recommended ?
usually, I'm not into the slow burn type of romance---but I'd make CTG an exception. This series got me hooked since the first episode until the last. It was awesome and amazing ????The suspense, thriller, psychological and the crime theme of this series is what keeps me at the edge of my seat. The romance part is sweet and not rushed----Ryung and Ji Seok's love did not just popped out of nowhere, but it grew from camaraderie, trust and friendship. It wasn't forced, so seeing their love for each other unfold is Soo lovely to see.
about their personalities, you could compare Newbie and Chief to the classic cat and mouse; that later on became like batman and robin. the troublemaker and the one who's there for her in every trouble she will encounter. Chief scolds her every now and then but he's secretly the guy who maybe tough on the outside but is actually softie, specially for her. Chief is a walking green flag that any woman would be so proud to be with. and that woman fortunately, Newbie Ryung is that woman.
I won't say much about the series, but for me it's one of the best. I highly recommend it. ?

Love the subway police Ji Suk, Yoo Ryung, Detective Lee Man Jin, and Soo Ho
I like this drama. I think I'll rewatch it again next time. Di sya boring.- I like the songs of this drama, parang narinig ko na sa ibang drama
- Ang cute ng chemistry at sweet ni Ji Suk at Yoo Ryung
- The only likeable for me is Ji Suk, Yoo Ryung, detective Lee, Soo Ho, at Chief Gong
- Yoo Ryung She always cause trouble for Ji Suk. She's not super annoying but her actions ang reckless nya talga but they give us situations na kapag di sila kikilos at pushy hindi maliligtas yung mga biktima on time ang hina kase ng hahandle sa Major Crimes.
- I like the police Ji Seok, Man Jin, and Soo Ho at Chief Gong nakaka aliw sila panoorin ?
- Nakakatawa c Chief Gong lagi iba iba outfit . At sobrang stressed niya ng mapartner kay Ryung ?.
- Di ko gusto yung ibang kilos ni Yoo Ryung na sinasarili nya muna bago sabihin sa iba it cause trouble pwede nmn kase sabihin nya mga nalalaman nya sa mga detectives at naka assign :( sa kung sino mang pwede nyang pagkatiwalaan pero she to ml. Trust is important dapat
- I like it nong sinabi ni Ji SUk na He don't pity her. He understand her. Yan yung gusto ni Yoo RYung eh
- Parang mapa lng isip ni Ryung dahil sa determinado sya mahanap sis nya
-Naiinis ako sa Metro Division detectives lalo na kay Mi Ra nilolookdown nya yung mga kasamahan ni Ji Suk eh mas matalino at skilled pangayun sila kesa sa kanila na nasa Metro na

Amazing story! With great acting!!!
The storyline of the drama was absolutely brilliant, I loved every minute of watching it because it was so entertaining! It has literally everything; romance, sismance, bromance, thriller, suspense, investigation, comedy, melancholic back stories, healing, moving on and SO MUCH MORE. It's just sooo amazing. I think the whole progression of the plot was soooo good. The developing relationship and the growing trust was just so cute to watch and I loved it soo much. The lead couple were SOOOOOO cuteeee and the ML and FL have done SUCH a good job in acting out their roles, I was totally head over heals for both of their acting skills here- I just loved it soo much. Especially the FL's dual role as twins with one of them having autism, I think she did really well portraying Yoo Jin and made her so sweet and innocent and the ML's role in showing how much he's hurting but hiding, that was truly brilliant.The whole cast was just perfect in every way and the y had great chemistry cause it was soo fun to watch. The music is very good too, it blends from a slow romantic melody to a thrilling or suspenseful beat very very smoothly that you don't even realise. Overall, Absolutely terrific story with an amazing plot, that blends romance and thrilling suspense into something totally beautiful. And Brilliant acting! ?????????♀️?♀️?Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Good potential, horrible execution
I have sat through a lot of dramas and I try my best not to abandon ship. How this drama has above 6 is beyond me... I really love Kim Seon Ho and I felt like the drama could be a lot better with any other female actress. She is the most cringe character I have seen in a long time. Her character tries to sit somewhere between badass and young school girl. I get that this is a comedy mix, but... no.-- Spoilers ahead --
What is with the giant plot hole? The detectives there claim they have searched the entire subway station for years and then the cliff hanger of the killer just sitting on a giant platform full of victim photos right next to the track was bizarre.

The pace of the show is good and the whole damn thing about metro seems intriguing.The actors did a great job and tried their best to portray their humane charcters.The Osts are awesome and enjoyable.At the starting the FL was so annoying to watch.On the other hand I really understood each and every step of ML (why he did that or this).Later Yoo Ryung gets a bit less irritating and I was able to empathize with her. I felt Ma Ri was not even in the main role and same thing goes for Woo Hyuk The only relatabe one is Ji Suk, he was more humane than anyone else.In this drama everyone's emotions were overwhelming especially of Ma Ri and FL( jealousy,sadness or guilt).The serial killer thing made me cry and even made me empathized with him but when I got back to my senses,"murdering someone is not a right thing to do" that's what came up in my mind.The story made me laugh,smile,cry and even sad.FL can be very irritating or for some the ML can be irksome but if someone is able to tolerate that and ignore some major plot holes then it can be very entertaining! After all it's a drama everything can't be perfect you know!!
Although it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst so I enjoyed it thoroughly!!!!!!

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.
