No ghosts here

I just finished watching Catch the Ghost.

I enjoyed it...but I would only say that it is nice...instead of actually calling it "good". (It has too much ridiculous happenings in it for me to call it "good".)

Actually I have seen it on Viu for quite some time, and I would have watched it sooner if I hadn't been misled into thinking that it was a paranormal mystery. (because hey, there's a mystery, and it stars Kim Sun Ho whom I've seen and liked a lot in Two Cops) But since I'm less interested in paranormal stuff, it took a back seat to other dramas. Also, the synopsis on Asianwiki didn't sound that interesting... The actual synopsis that I would write is that there are dead bodies discovered on the subway, and it's a serial killing!

While watching, at the beginning I kept waiting for the ghost to appear, or at least for a kind of ghost to be introduced. But it turns out that the murderer is nicknamed the Subway Ghost, and it's not an actual ghost! (at the beginning I was still suspecting that the culprit was going to be a real ghost)

The storyline is pretty good, with twists and red herrings, and there are plenty of funny bits too! That is why I enjoyed it. But here and there, people would act in stupidly ridiculous manners.

For example, this cop has a gun. The bad guy is about 4-5 metres away from her, and she reaches for her gun. But when the bad guy takes out a steel wire (used for strangling), she suddenly hesitates. What, do you expect that he can come and strangle you from 4-5 metres away, faster than you can get out your gun??

And that's not all... in the end she does take out her gun, and the bad guy keeps taunting her to shoot, saying that she would never shoot him, etc... In the end she doesn't shoot, but she puts her gun away, takes out her handcuffs, and goes over to the bad guy to handcuff him.

But the bad guy had never surrendered! Did she expect he would go with her quietly?

And of course he didn't, so she got strangled. *facepalm*

Seriously, someone like this has no business being a cop!

All along the story, the cops also keep saying that cops work in pairs to protect each other, but they would also run here and there alone without reason. (and then get themselves into trouble with no one to protect them :P ) There are also plenty of other stuff, but there's too much to list out!

This is why this drama cannot be called "good"!
