Catch Me (2013)

Story: What will you do if the woman you had loved all this while re-appear in your life after 10 years and she is a famous cat burglar while you are a dedicated detective at the verge of that big promotion you have been waiting for? Will you save your love or your career? This film explores these questions in a light-hearted and comical way. This is one movie you can sit back and relax to.

Acting/Cast: Superb and mature acting.

Music: Nothing that stood out, but hey... it's a movie, not a drama.

Rewatch value: This is an easy watch and certainly with good acting and a sufficient storyline to grab the audience's attention for 2 hours, it has a very high re-watch value. Great for weekend movies!

Overall: If you haven't watch this, I recommend this movie for your weekend watch. If you are Joo Won's fan, be prepared to fall in love with him all over again. If you do not know who he is, no worries.... just enjoy the movie. :)

This is a movie that doesn't require a particular attention to details. If you like romantic comedies and are in this for a good laugh, then this will be entertaining enough for you. It's definitely not boring and a few chuckles here and there are assured. However, if you expect some more detail and inthrough in the life of a profiler/detective or burglar, then you won't get it. It just scratches the surface of both the justice and criminal world, but that was clearly not the point. The story is simple and enjoyable enough to watch, clearly cheesy but not to the point of cringing. The main couple is the focus from the beginning to the end of the movie and clearly wanted to put Ho Tae in a very ironical position, if listening to what type of policy he follows at the beginning of the movie. The humorous factor is exactly seeing the justice seeker getting comically corrupted by a foxy girl that he can't help but have a crush on. Overall, I recommend it to those that just want something simple that doesn't require lots of thinking but just get what is given to them.

I wanted to watch this movie a long ago, but I couldn't find it. Luckily I found it today, by a coincidence. Omo, this movie was awesome.

- The story is about detective and his first love who is high level burglar. It's a rom-comedy movie and I really enjoyed it. The chemistry between those two are awesome. Joo Won is an awesome actor and it really suits him to be police(hehe,loved him in that role since "Bridal mask"). Kim Ah Joong is great as burglar and pretty.
- Music fitted the movied and it maked the scenes more beautiful.
- Overall I gave it a 9, cuz it was enjoyable and Joo Won is by himself sufficient to watch this movie. :D
Hope you will enjoy ^^

The reason I decided to watch was because of the fact that Joo Won is starred in it. I once watched one of his earlier dramas and simply got hooked. So when I saw that he had been starred in a new movie I thought, why not?

This film though, is not one of the best ones that I've seen. Although it ain't downright poor it just doesn't have that little flick in it that makes the viewer want to engross herself in the movie, feel all the emotions and possibly re-watch the film.

I get that they really tried to make this movie great, but honestly, how many times have we not seen anything similar too this one? I'm not gonna spoil but it's so easy to turn the TV or computer off when you've put this movie on.

You find some comical parts and other stuff in this movie that makes you wanna continue to watch it but the things that drags it down are to many to compare with the highlights.
In a funny way you'd think that this is how the directors wanted the film to go out but honestly, why? I mean, if it is a good film, you wouldn't need too do this.

The actors and actresses in this movie though really did a good job. It's just a shame that the plot was so..., well, uninteresting? Yeah, uninteresting.

So let's just hope that they will choose a better film to be cast in rather than some wannabee like this one.

This movie had the best rom-com I’ve ever seen in a Korean movie so far. There’s plenty amount of fluffy, sweet and romantic romance in this movie, but there are also hilarious moments that were amazingly stupid, but funny! I liked how this movie turned out. When I first saw the poster, I thought it was about a couple catching the bad guys, however this movie is actually about a cop falling in love with the criminal! Never have I thought this movie would give the rom-com vibes I’ve searched for in Korean romcom movie! Rom-com in an action movie? This movie made it possible. Those genres were poured out perfectly in this movie. Everyone did a great job acting out their characters, and the music were great too!

If you’re searching for an anti-mainstream sweet rom-com, this is definitely for you! Silly, sweet, romantic, super duper hilarious. Totally recommended! Overall, a 9.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simple love story

I like it. Its soft, without complicated plot and just funny. Some crazy moments, some flashbacks that compose the love of the couple.

PLOT - simple but not brilliant. I like the story of the two and the way that a cop can choose, wisely in my point of view, love over work...

ACTING - wonderful performance by the cast, specially the ML and FL.

SOUNDTRACK - it was ok but not memorable

REWATCH - it is nice but to rewatch it... I prefer a thousand times seeing MY P.S. PARTNER!!!!!

Overall I like it. The ending could be better but it end as I wanted, with happiness and laughter. It's light and a good way of spending almost 2 hours.

Super fun!

This is one of my favorite films to watch when I am having a bad day, it always manages to make me laugh. Steal My Heart might not be a masterpiece but it certainly is entertaining and hits all the right notes with me.

The story follows Lee Tae-ho, a hot shot criminal profiler who is currently working on a serial murder case. Thanks to his ability, the police force finally has a suspect and just when they are about to catch him, the culprit becomes a hit and run victim. Now, Tae-ho must find the driver who got away… little does he know that the person he is looking for is Yoon Jin-sook, his first love and nowadays a famous white collar criminal worthy to lead Danny Ocean’s team.

Between Tae-ho’s sense of duty and Jin-sook’s smarts, they need to find the way to do the right thing and not end up in jail at the same time, but when old feelings start rearing their head, will they make it?

Starring Joo Won and Kim Ah-joong who play their parts to perfection as the mismatched couple who are perfect for each other. The rest of the cast is incredibly funny as the clueless detectives, and one random cameo from Chae Tae-hyun.

I really recommend it to, at least, give a chance.

Too slow

The nonsensical writing sinks this. Also the pacing, which is terrible with easily 25 mins of bloat, but I kind of expected that one. There seems to be this unwritten rule with Korean films where they need to clock in at around 2 hours even if they have nothing to show for it, not sure why. A shame because the actors were good and the story was compelling.

I know that they're supposed to be the same age in the movie, but in real life, Kim Ah-joong is 5 years older than Joo Woo, which I thought was interesting because you don't often see a casually older female lead like this. Well, as far as Hollywood movies are concerned.

I guess Korean films couldn't be further from them in that regard.

Hahaha, I am here to speak the truth and nothing but the truth. And to tell you the truth I don't remember much about this movie, but bits and pieces. The reason for that is of course that I am writing this review a few months after watching it, but for me to remember so little might say something about this movie. I remember the story and the basic summary, but I don't necessarily remember any scened (maybe one or two). I guess the story is okay, nothing spectacular. The actors are okay, mostly what I would consider their typical role. I plan to watch this movie again because I truly wonder what made me give this movie an 8. I'd say it's a decent movie to watch when you are bored.

Saruman doesn't really remember this one but that's okay.
