Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this show. I started watching it as soon as it was released, then put it on hold and got back to watching it. I almost dropped it once or twice and was going to rate it lower, but I finally gathered the will to finish it and got really conflicted oh what score to give it, and from now on I'm going to try and explain why.

The best part of this show for me was when Hong Jo was discovering new things and trying to figure out how to act like a human, it was cute to watch. But after that, specially regarding the middle section of this drama, I felt like I had nothing to hold on to in order to keep me interested. I know the writers tried to push this romance between Sol Ah and Hong Jo, but their relationship felt more like the one of a pet and its owner than of one of lovers, making their "romantic" scenes together awkward to see. Perhaps it would've been better if Hong Jo was a human who could turn into a cat and not the other way around. I honestly never have second lead syndrome, but with this show I was kind of hoping Sol Ah would end up with Jae Son, maybe because he was also one of the characters with the most development through it.

The saving grace of this drama for me was the bittersweet tone in the last few chapters, so much so that I'd rather they kept the ending with the same tone than just pulling a happy ending out of nowhere like they did. They also explored some interesting themes such as the importance of treasuring your moments with your loved ones because some day you might run out of time to do so. The OST was very good, too, with songs that worked well to set the mood for the scenes.

The acting was nothing special, the male leads lacked some emotional range, too. Even so, as I stated before, Jae Son started annoying but grew a lot, becoming one of my favorite characters. Doo Sik was good enough. Ji Eun was a true waste of screen time, though. I honestly don't blame her co-workers for thinking their boss (who was kind of a bitch, by the way) was favoring her since Ji Eun couldn't even communicate in her work environment. She was truly pathetic and even though in the very end it shows she had changed, it all happened off screen so it wasn't rewarding at all to see. Sol Ah is ok for the most part, but she was so quick to jump to conclusions just for the sake of keeping the plot going, it was infuriating. And towards the end she also makes extremely rash decisions like quitting her stable job and turning important oportunities down, it was almost like she was brain-dead.

The plot is very weak. We didn't get any explanations whatsoever, like why did Hong Jo turn into a human in the first place? Can all cats do that or is it just some special ones? Also, the whole subplot of that crazy cat lover was extremely irrelevant and one of the most stupid things I've witnessed, it was super cartoonish the second time around, too.

All things considered, it's not bad. I still don't know if I like this show or not, despite everything it still gave me some warm feelings, so if you're an animal lover like me, you can give it a try and form your own conclusions.
