In both there is a serial killer that is involved with the female lead.

Both male leads are gentle policemen that face their problems at the same time they fall in love.

In both there are amazing support roles that make the story more lively and funny.

Family bonds and mothers with mental deseases are present in both too.

Not much is similar besides both dramas having serial killers and both FL having some kind of connection to the serial killer.
But the vibe is the same.

OMG! what to say now
-the story line is the same (the romance part)
-in catch the ghost the ML and FL are not physiologist but they are detectives
-the flow of catch the ghost is really amazing each episode will leave you astonished
being frank i loved catch the ghost more than love me if you dare ( my opinion)
Catch the ghost is a series where everything( about the each episode) is equally distributed love,investigation
this is not a series that will make you skip episodes.

In both serial killers have destroyed the protahonists life and the couple investigate together the crimes.

The investigation is the centre of both of the shows and there are some surprises that nobody saw coming in neither of them.

*in both drama main leads are cops
* both female leads are badass and stubborn
* the chemistry is really the same(they care about each other a lot)
*both male leads are sweet and lovely
(maybe the genres aren't alike but after watching happiness I found catch the ghost satisfying, I've been looking for a drama like happiness and catch the ghost was my gem)

Both series revolve around solving cases and helping people . Ml and FL work in same department in both series

While both have the word ghost in the title, there are more similarities between the two dramas. One is the mystery of each show; in each drama, the FML has a close connection to the perpetrator. While Bring It On, Ghost has a few more supernatural abilities than Catch the Ghost, and both leading couples are adorable.

Both have competent male detectives dealing with female counterparts who are passionate for solving mysteries and crimes. Once they get started, they can't stop following leads. And in both, the male detectives have to "clean up their mess" and make sure to save them from any trouble. Both couples have a Tom and Jerry relationship yet they work so well together. I love both of these dramas so far!

At first glance, these two shows would seem like they have nothing in common save for Kim Seon Ho being in both of them. And you'd be right... to an extent. But both of these shows also have:
> Kim Seon Ho plays a very similar character; loving, sacrificial, and incredibly nice. But while he's the 2ML in Start-Up, he's the ML in CTG.
> The ML falls in love with the FL first.
> One of the leads is not honest/keeps a secret from the other for more than half of the drama.
> There is a love triangle. In Start-Up the Love Triangle becomes the main plot; whereas in CGT there's a double love triangle but it's a small aspect of the plot.

They both deal with a profession that's unique in a way (one being on a ship another in a railway station)
Both male leads have a similar story.
It's been a while since I've seen hospital ship so I dont wanna say anymore comparisons incase I'm wrong but catch the ghost is certainly worth the watch if you liked the ML in hospital ship

Serial killer's murder, crime, investigation themes.
Murder has a death of the loved one as motivation for they crimes

Both dramas are really cozy, interesting ans mysterious. I think the relationship between the two leads is really similar. The two leads are investigating together in both dramas, and they are able to catch the bad guys with the ability of the female lead in both.

Shows are not similar except that Moon Geun Young is the lead in both shows.

However, I am doing this recommendation since I want more people to watch Painter of the Wind as it is a very underrated drama yet an extremely good drama. To understand how good this drama is, first of all the director is Jang Tae Yoo (who also directed another great drama in Tree with Deep Roots plus My Love from the Star and Lovers of the Red Sky). The direction he did in this drama is really good. Second, lead actress Moon Geun Young (who I noticed Catch the Ghost fans sometimes find annoying) won a Daesang in Painter of the Wind. Watch Painter of the Wind to understand how great her performance is as a woman pretending to be a man. Kim Yoo Jung is Moon Geun Young's child actress too, and her 2021 Lovers of the Red Sky show is a reunion of her and this drama's director (both shows have a female painter as a lead).
Drama is very unique, at first glimpse it might look like a simple age gap romance. But the truth is the female lead here has 3 love interests (an older man, a foster brother her age, and a female gisaeng/entertainer). Two of these relationships are two-sided and not one-sided.

I am recommending Painter of the Wind here because most people might know Moon Geun Young from Catch the Ghost (due to Kim Seon Ho recent popularity).

Both shows are comedy suspense, in Psychopath Diary a man must solve his own mysteries just like in Catch the Ghost, where a girl is trying to solve her own mystery. Both shows will send chills down your spine as well as making you laugh really hard. I highly suggest both if you enjoy crime-comedy types of dramas.
