Honestly not sure why the drama has bad reviews and such low broadcast ratings–if you're a fan of cats or cheesy dramas (or L aka Kim Myung Soo), you'll enjoy it! It's a wholesome ride throughout, with a pretty adorable main couple and cute cat antics.
The chemistry between the two main leads is great. Shin Ye Eun is always happy and bubbly, and injects a positive energy that keeps the drama from feeling too down. Kim Myung Soo (L) does a great job acting like a cat, and certainly seems to have done the research into adopting cat-like mannerisms (his slow blinks are everything). Contrary to other reviews, I actually quite liked Seo Ji Hoon's stoic demeanor, especially when it breaks in front of L's innocence and earnestness. In fact, I thought the bromance that slowly but steadily grew between the two male leads was probably one of the cutest parts of the drama.
I do agree with other reviewers that L's character didn't experience a lot of development. For the most part, he maintained his honest, earnest nature throughout, and I wish they showed him trying to adjust to the human world more. Also wish the character was just a tad bit more dramatic when expressing his emotions, but L did a great job with what he was given.
The story itself is pretty straightforward, and doesn't make too many odd logical leaps imo. The secret of L being a cat that can turn human is a tidbit that could be bothersome–it drags on for longer than it should, helped in part by a good few coincidences and a somewhat oblivious and slow-on-the-uptake female lead. The ending, too, was a bit disappointing, just by nature of the fact that I wished there was more finality and happiness to it. I do believe the shortening of the drama from 16 to 12 episodes helped tighten the storytelling (even though I can't help wanting more! I'd happily watch four more episodes of L and Seo Ji Hoon being reluctant bros lmao).
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would recommend it to anyone in need of a few hours worth of easy watching1
