I know this is fantasy so I should overlook details such as him converting into a fully dressed human each time (who seems to switch between two different trousers btw) or being able to speak and understand all human language, but I can't stand when he does incoherent things. He seems to know what everything is already, knows what drink he wants from a vending machine, knows how to find his way home from her office, when her dad collapses he knows what's going on and takes him out, knows how to lower a fever, he doesn't get into any accidents while walking around, etc... but the worst part is how it makes no sense whatsoever the argument that she, her presence, her stuff, makes him become human! The first time he converted into a human, she found him... So, he converted BEFORE meeting her.
And his existential crisis and how he is figuring it all out is again deviating from a more realistic approach: it happens that he converts and he (being a CAT) doesn't think much of it, whereas when she finds out (her being a HUMAN) she will start to dig into the reasons why he transforms.
Ultimately this topic has to be very well written or it can make people uncomfortable. We love our pets a lot, and they do adore us, but the love we share is more like a parent-child relationship. To make it evolve into a romantic relationship takes lots of careful and talented writing. Cats are not protective of their owners unlike some dogs can be, so I don't see how can they will fit the typical male Korean possessive behaviour here, but I'm sure they will.
I hope the webtoon writer sat two seconds with a cat before coming up with a story, and that is more coherent than this drama adaptation.
I love Infinite so I always check out Myungsoo's dramas, but I wish he could do something again like Miss Hammurabi. We all know he is super cute, he knows how to work his dimples, but roles like this will not get his acting career anywhere.
Ultimately, I'll end my rant by saying that the FL and the second ML are highly unlikable and her dad doesn't behave like a cat, rather he is a rotten cactus. The only good thing of the whole show is the cat (or cats) they use, super cute, but I hope they don't abuse them like giving them drugs to do the sleeping scenes (one time the FL puts the cat on her bed after his vet visit and he looks knocked out cold)
Won't waste more time on this show, but I have seen many positive comments, so maybe this is just not my cup of tea.

This drama is weird and makes no sense. I hardly finished the first 4 eps and the story got a tiny bit interesting but I still don't know if I'll keep watching. There are so many good airing dramas that it'd feel like wasting my time. The transformation from cat to human and vice versa part makes no sense in this drama as when he's a human he has no issue to adapt to human life and the fact that he has a human mind while being a cat makes me so uncomfortable, considering that she took her clothes off in his presence as a cat, she may shower or go around naked in front of the cat but Hong Jo is aware of human life while being a cat. That's... Not okay.
Seo Ji Hoon's character is kind of annoying but I already feel like I will be rooting for him so much more than for Myung Soo's character, it just makes much more sense to me.
Also, when Hong Jo was a human boy, Kim Sol Ah was already an adult? I guess it's the cat age vs human age, but even so, Hong Jo is technically a human boy even if he's an adult cat... Nonsense.
Shin Ye Eun's character is meh but she's pretty and seems like a good actress, so I think that's the only good thing I can point out of this drama so far.
Even if this is a fantasy drama with a ridiculous premise, there are so many things that make no sense even folllwing the logic of the drama itself. I wasn't excited for this drama but I'm an Infinite fan so I feel like I should watch it, but it's already so messy.

Eu estou na dúvida por onde começar sobre esse leve e adorável dorama que me cativou tanto, contudo me sinto satisfeita e perdida ao mesmo tempo. A historia foi boa, a escolha do elenco foi incrível, imagino que ninguém mais ficaria tão perfeito em um papel de gato como o L fica, uma ótima escolha, pois o mesmo tem seu próprio jeitinho de fazer isso. O casal principal era fofo, assim como o secundário e eu poderia ficar assistindo por um longo tempo. De inicio não fui com a cara do Jae Seon, achei que o triangulo amoroso ia ser insuportável e cansativo, e acho completamente o contrario quanto aos comentários em que chamavam ele de inútil. ele foi um ótimo amigo tanto para Sol Ah como para Hong Jo, ele soube de fato respeitar a decisão de Sol Ah e isso é muito maduro, o que me fez admira-lo ao decorrer dos episódios. Eu não nego que fiquei um tanto desapontada com o final em que deixaram muitas coisas soltas pelo ar, e porque diminuam tanto a quantidade de episódios do nada, deixando a maioria perdida. Ficou tão em aberto se Hong Jo agora que voltou a ser humano depois de tanto tempo poderia permanecer assim para sempre, eu ficaria tão confortável em saber que ele nunca mais se tornaria gato, deixando Sol Ah na espera novamente. É tão difícil além de transformar um anjo em humano novamente, transformar um gato em humano para sempre?! Talvez seja demais? Brincadeiras a parte. Eu senti que o final foi feito com tanta pressa, deixando tudo pelo ar, sem explicações necessárias, mas isso não me fez achar o dorama ruim, terminou leve assim como ele foi desde o inicio. Eu amei assistir e já sinto saudades, Hong Jo. Was this review helpful to you?

Comecei esse drama com muitas expectativas, afinal eu amo gatos e adoro o L (ator que fez também um anjo em "A última missão do anjo: amor") e o drama realmente começa bem, é divertido e tem ótimos personagens de suporte todos com seus dramas pessoais que foram bem resolvidos ao longo da série. Meu único problema foi justamente o final, em partes pelo ship errado, mas principalmente pelo tipo de amor da protagonista pelo gato, acho que levantaram a bola para debater um tipo de amor e encerraram com outro. Em termos gerais é um drama ok, divertido mas meio decepcionante. Was this review helpful to you?
Meow the secret boy reseña
A los protagonistas ya los conocía a ambos, a ella por sus anteriores papeles y a él por su parte Idol. Ambos me parecen monísimos y la verdad es que ambos tuvieron muy buena química y visualmente maravilla. En tema actuación me gustaron no son perfectas pero si bastante buenas, los problemas lo vi en la historia en si hubo ciertas ocasiones en las que me desconecté un poco de la historia la verdad. Es un drama para verlo una vez y ya la verdad. Me gusto la premisa que se daba pero es cierto que esperaba ciertas cosas. Pero en general es un buen drama eso no lo pongo en duda.Was this review helpful to you?

Dovrebbe essere spumeggiante, invece concilia il sonno
Abbandonato per estrema noia alla fine dell'ep 5. Molto carini gli attori, e bravi, anche, compreso il gatto, ma non basta a trattenermi qui perché non riesco a guardare una puntata di fila senza andare a scartabellare in giro per cercare qualcos'altro da guardare.Non succede niente, è lento in maniera esasperante e l'occasionale risata non basta a riscattare una sceneggiatura rarefatta e poco interessante.
Avrebbe dovuto essere spumeggiante, invece concilia il sonno. Il ritmo della commedia, questo sconosciuto! Perfino da amante dei gatti non posso continuare questa avventura. Peccato.
