Caged Again (2024)

target audience is me

I am clearly the target audience for this and I didn’t know it.

who would have thought we’d get an adorable penguin themed BL? not me but I’m here for it.

maybe it’s the right timing or what not but this is a super sweet, silly, absolutely ridiculous series and I love it. I had the biggest grin on my face watching it.

sometimes we just need something that lets us shut off our bains and enjoy.

I also gotta give it to wetv they are stepping up their game in their productions this year, knock knock boys, monster next door, and now caged again. my hats off to you.

as for the series we’ve got some mystery and magical moments that intrigue me and I’m curious to watch it all play out. I’ve not come across a theme like this before and it’s pulled me in even though I didn’t think id be a fan of they type of series.

casting was fantastic in this. Jay does a phenomenal job at being a penguin.

I’m seated. I’m excited. and I want more.

Junior's Queen Energy Made the Show

What I loved most about this drama was how Sun, a carnivore, was constantly taming his instincts so he doesn't literally EAT Junior for lunch, but Junior tried whatever he could to tempt him. He even used catnip on the panther. Literally, that shameless penguin was born with no fear, cuz he was courting dead the whole series.

Listen, Caged Again was nothing to write home about. The premise of the show was quite unique, interesting and different from the same school based bls we always got. So although I was sceptical, I still tuned in for it. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectation, the execution and the plot was all over the place, and everything was frankly a mess. Some of the characters were dumb as rock, nonsense misunderstandings that could be resolved if they just spoke dragged the pace, how that whole kidnap thing ended was so stupid, I'm still asking myself 'who dafug wrote this?' and I have like a billion questions as to how the penguin and the panther integrated into society with no legal papers. That last villain vs heroes stand-off had me shaking my head in judgement, literally the eff was that?

Yes, so many things made no effing sense and was flat-out ridiculous, but I'll give them this, the two leads, although new, did well with their acting. Junior stole the show for me, that penguin was such a drama queen and I loved every time he was on screen. Not gonna lie, with how the whole plot was all over the place, I thought I'd end up disliking the series, but, I liked this show more than I thought I would. I had some good laughs. Sun and Junior had good chemistry and entertained me with their antics. Their two friends were an okay addition as well, although not really sure what was up with them, and I liked how meta the Goddess was too.

Scenes that made me went hihi:
- In the beginning when Sun saw Junior as food in all those fantasy tripping sequence. Lol, like damn, don't eat your classmate.
- Junior turning his ruined gym uniform into a tank top, and doing a runaway show in the school's hallway. Slay!
- When Junior tried to seduce Sun by wearing that penguin suit. And I can't believe it worked, cuz all he did was lift Sun's arm and put it back down. Sun, honey...stand up!
- That whole catnip scene had me going... boy, do you have no regards for your safety? That penguin was shameless.
- Sun wanting their baby to have the face of a penguin and the body of a panther. Like??? then he got disappointed they couldn't have any. I'm glad they got a fish, hopefully they take it to the zoo and it becomes a person too.
- Junior waiting a few months, then started planning his life of moving to Bangkok and marrying someone else. LMAO, that penguin's sass needs to be studied. Sun lucky he showed up in time, boy was ready to move on.
- How sassy, naive, adorable, innocent, honest and bold Junior was. I loved how he was always true to himself and was unapologetic. He did this whole human thing better than most of us.
- That temple fair date that ended with them in the gambling club, but Junior just went with the flow, putting his dancing and gambling skills to use. Like, children, does this place look like a temple to you?? also how Junior got that piggyback ride... such princess behaviour, I stan!
- Sun's future job where he was an actor/stunt-man. LOL, the part when he fell before they even hit him, then after he was so proud like he did such a good job. Boy???
- That obvious green-screen North Pole :((((
- I also like how deep Sun loved. He found Junior and made him his whole world. Those two truly deserved their happy ending.

All in all a fun show if you go in not expecting anything, matter of fact, don't even question stuff, just go with the flow. You'd like the penguin for sure. So, I'll recommend it if you are looking for something to watch, just to watch something. I look forward to more work from the two leads, Ben and Jay, really liked them here.

Happy New Year.

quirky romcom with some darker aspects

Overall: I enjoyed the fantasy aspect and the dynamics ,but too much time was spent on the villains. 10 episodes about 40 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4962/caged-again-2024-e01 and WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/album/b3s2uqh9es211rf

Content Warnings: fight, manipulation, kidnapping, held against will/injury, bullying, trauma, illegal activities, attempted murder, violence, blood, grief

What I Liked
- dynamic between the MLs
- an inexperienced character who was intelligent and stood up for himself (that walk in that orange top was amazing)
- sweet/caring moments
- the ghost/goddess character
- I laughed several times
- some mystery
- Porsch & Arm
- had a realistic fight followed by apologies
- episode 10 wrapped up well

Room For Improvement
- a bit choppy at times, started with a flash forward and then went back and forth on the timeline especially in the beginning of episode 2, some scenes jumped from one to the next a bit abruptly
- wish they had kept 1 aspect more secret
- odd, why wouldn't he just want to go to the other pole where they do live
- cliche thing that happened in the beginning of episode 2
- that was not enough consequences at the end of episode 2 or later
- (neutral) comedy sound effects, mostly fine except I didn't like the gulp noises
- nonsense/because the writer said so stuff: why was the truck be parked there and how did no teacher/staff notice what was going on, why weren't the police been contacted on multiple occasions, odd reasoning for not going to the hospital
- too much time spent on the villains, could have tightened up pacing in places
- the first time gap was too long without communication

They

Okay, first of all, EXCUSE ME, but why did my entire soul decide Jaonine and Nokia were the main couple??? Like, I was already planning our wedding, picking out baby names, and then BOOM—plot twist. It’s someone else. The BETRAYAL. Not gonna lie, my feelings were hurt, but I’m a strong independent viewer who adapts. So I kept watching, and okayyy... the actual couple is kinda cute or whatever. Do I still wish Jaonine and Nokia were the leads? YES. Am I gonna cry about it? ALSO YES. But I’m here, I’m watching, I’m locked in. Let’s ride.

____________________________________

1. Plot

So boom. Junior (played by Jay) is a whole-ass penguin who turned human (yes, you read that correctly). Man woke up in an empty cage like “where tf am I?” and instead of panicking, he said, “Bet. I’mma slay this.” And what does he do? Enrolls in school. Because obviously, when you turn into a human, your first instinct is to get an education.

Enter Sun (DELICIOUS AS FUCK) (played by Ben), who looks at Junior like he just unlocked a secret level in a dating sim. But instead of exposing him, Sun goes full mysterious bad boy mode and starts acting all protective for NO REASON. Then we got Jodd (Jaonine) and Jeng (Nokia), their chaotic besties, just vibing while illegal animal traders lurk in the background, trying to snatch Junior back into captivity. The audacity.

The plot? Surprisingly solid. It stayed on track (unlike my last relationship). Jeng barely got screen time, which I will be filing a complaint about, but overall? Fun, engaging, and THE DRAMA??? Oh, baby, the TEA.

Now listen, I was enjoying my little silly goofy show, and then suddenly… BAM. Sont is the villain. HELLO??? Junior thought this man was his long-lost dad, and now he’s out here selling his brother to the black market??? The way I GASPED. The BETRAYAL. My man was one "I’m not like other dads" away from fooling us all.

AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MAIN COUPLE? Sun and Junior are giving grumpy x sunshine but make it feral x confused. They’re adorable, but also, Sun… SIR. WHY DID YOU BLUEBALL US IN THE STEAM SCENE? My man was all up in Junior’s personal space, inhaling his neck like he was sniffing premium-grade catnip, and then??? He just??? STOPPED??? LAID DOWN??? SIR, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO SLEEP.

Also, WHY did Jodd and Jeng just DISAPPEAR in this one episode? “Oh, their parents picked them up.” BABE, Jodd LITERALLY SAID his parents are too busy. SO WHO PICKED HIM UP? A GHOST??? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

The ending? It was fine, but I’m PISSED. Jodd and Jeng got no proper closure. No fluff. No cute moments. Just vibes and disrespect. I’m throwing hands.

____________________________________

2. Characters & Acting

Junior (Jay) – Absolute BABY. His emotional scenes? ATE. The sass??? Top-tier. “U bully me? Fine, but I still slay.” ICONIC BEHAVIOR. Also, the confidence this man had wearing that gym unicorn-turned-crop-top??? He SERVED.

Sun (Ben) – The tension was there. The angst was there. But WHY was it taking so long for them to get it together??? Every time Sun got all soft and caring with Junior, I was like “YES KING, THIS IS IT,” but then he’d just… walk away??? For what??? To stare dramatically into the distance like some sad male lead in a music video??? BOY, IF YOU DON’T—. Anyway, he had some great moments, but sometimes his eyes betrayed him. Like, he’d be saying something intense, but his face was like: 😐. Ben’s acting needs a lil’ work because sometimes his eyes betray him. And the action scene? Stiff as hell, but the CGI tried to help.

Jodd (Jaonine) – Jaonine is a crackhead. I already knew this from Knock Knock Boys, but I wasn’t expecting him to play another almost identical role. Except this time, he's giving "delulu but make it funny." The man is out here DESPERATE to join any club because apparently, he has zero talent. (LIES. Slander. The man is FINE, what is the director ON???) But instead of joining a normal club, he tangled with much messy friend group not because of the friendship mess but more like 'someone wants to kill my friend'. But let's talk about Jodd. MY BABY. I love him. His comedic timing? IMMACULATE. Jaonine’s acting? IMPROVED SO MUCH. His eyes??? So expressive now..

Jeng (Nokia) – Nokia’s acting has IMPROVED SO MUCH since Knock Knock Boys. He’s a nerd, but he’s also unhinged. I just wish he had more screen time. Justice for my boy.

Mole Goddess – Scene stealer. Icon. I would die for her.


Overall, Jaonine and Nokia’s performances were on another level compared to the leads but I understand that because it's their first series. COME ON.

____________________________________

3. Steam Scene + Kiss Scene

Steam scene? TRAGIC. The buildup was EVERYTHING. The tension??? Off the charts. AND THEN SUN JUST STOPPED??? Sir, you had ONE JOB. Or is it because they are still underage? Tbh, i'm not sure cause they are 20 years old tho? But if it still consider underage then understandable.

Kiss scenes? LIFE-SAVING. Sun and Junior’s kisses were actually GOOD. Like, shockingly good. The chemistry was chef’s kiss, the tension was there, and it felt real.

____________________________________

4. OST

It existed. That’s all I got.

____________________________________

5. Overall?

8/10.

Lost two points for:

- Jodd & Jeng’s TRAGIC treatment (I’m still mad)
- Plot holes and lack of transition

As previously mentioned, I am not the type of person to rewatch a series unless if its really good.

Would I rewatch? No.
Did I love it? YUP.

DIRECTORS, NEXT TIME, GIVE ME WHAT I WANT. Thank you. 💅

"The song of the heart" and the fairy tale

Film and television have told stories in which human beings become animals. In 'The Lobster', 2015, a film by Yorgos Lanthimos ('The Favorite', 'Poor Creatures'), one of the most original voices of the new Greek cinema, brings in this work, which sparked great discussion after winning the Jury in Cannes, David, played by a great Colin Farrell, in his mandatory stay in a hotel full of singles where he has to find a partner with whom he shares something in common within 45 days or he will be transformed into an animal by choice, as happened to his brother who was turned into a dog and is now in his care.
The script of this film, which provoked very mixed reviews, but whose originality was never discussed, was awarded the ARTE International Award for Best CineMart Project 2013 at the 42nd edition of the Rotterdam International Film Festival. The reader will remember that, set in a dystopian near future, the film tells a love story, where the search for a romantic partner is a matter of life or death.
Asian teledramaturgy is not far behind. In 'A Good Day to Be a Dog', a South Korean fantasy rom-com, actress Park Gyu Young ('Celebrity') plays a woman who is cursed to transform into a dog when she kisses a man. A math teacher will come to his aid, the only person who can undo his curse, but who is afraid of dogs due to a traumatic event that he no longer remembers.
But what if the story were reversed? What if, instead of humans becoming wild creatures, the latter were the ones who would transmute their short, small wings, and their clumsy gait on land and their elegance under water, for two feet, useful upper joints, and the ability to walk upright? If instead of people becoming agile and skilled predators, like most felines, these were the ones who would transform their bodies equipped with powerful claws and teeth into individuals with scant fur and a capacity for inventiveness and intelligence, which distinguishes them from the rest of the higher animals?
But why does it seem like I'm talking about penguins and black panthers?
Well, because these animals transform into human beings is Potae Anusara Korsamphan's proposal in 'Caged Again', a romantic and fantastic comedy with an LGBT+ theme with a very original premise and charming character dynamics. Yes, it's true: Disney has previously told us stories about fish and mermaids that become humans, but I'm not aware of any stories about seabirds and big cats transformed into people, much less in non-animated fiction. Although it is also affirmative that we have a giant white teddy bear who, miraculously, turns into a young man.
This absurd comedy, a very stimulating and highly symbolic rarity, follows Junior, a young penguin with the ability to listen to and understand human language, who, transformed into a young boy, flees the zoo in search of achieving his ultimate goal: traveling to the North Pole. However, he will be trapped once again in a mysterious male boarding school. In it, he meets Sun, a quiet and reserved black panther who has also taken human form and after being betrayed by someone he trusted, he no longer seeks to have new friends until he meets Junior. For Sun, the former penguin is the best and only true friend he has ever had in his life. They will both live incredible adventures and maybe…, maybe they will find something more.
In their adventures, Sun and Junior will meet the boyfriends Nat (Arm Sappanyoo Panatkool) and Ton (Apiwat Porsche Apiwatsayree), a couple of BL actors already known to the public for playing Jaonan / "Nan" and Sippakorn in the 2022 drama 'Ai Long Nhai'. Both will welcome the boys under their roof.
Such a plot seems impossible to develop without falling into ridicule, but the debut Thai director shows that, by taking reality to its extremes, as a good comedy does, she manages to illustrate her interest in making her declaration of principles about the possibility that beings Humans and animals can live together in harmony.
As a curiosity, just the day after the premiere of the series, on Saturday, November 16, more than 200 monkeys escaped from a cage at the municipal animal center located in the Thai town of Lop Buri, dozens of kilometers north of Bangkok, to invade the surrounding streets, climb onto the roofs, enter a police station and some homes. The only thing missing, to match this fact with the plot, was that the macaques, before escaping, had had the capacity to transform into humans.
In the main roles of the series that tells an unconventional love story, which mixes elements of magic, fantasy, adventure and teenage romance, are actors Ben Benjamin Greenwell, in his acting debut, as Sun, and Jay Sorathon Chaloemlapsombutis ('I Will Knock You'), like Junior, who manage with their performance to put the audience in intense reflection about freedom, love and the beauty of life. Both actors share a natural and electrifying chemistry that brings a tender and refreshing vibe to the series.
After watching the first five episodes of the 10 that the series has, we can make some preliminary assessments: not only will we find these two animals converted into humans. We will have a monkey transformed into a student named Jodd (Jaonine Jiraphat Sodjam) who will walk not from branch to branch, but from adventure to adventure, helping his friends, especially June, who is being chased by members of an illegal trafficking gang of wildlife, and a learned owl who is very intelligent, but needs to gain discipline, who will also support the rest of his schoolmates and whose name is Jeng (Nokia Chinnawat Phattharathanachot).
Sun and Junior will have an ally in the centuries-old goddess (Panpan Yeeyee) who can only be seen by those who are not human, and who will also enter human bodies to help the animals turned into people.
The fact of not having a high budget is one of the reasons to highlight the music, the beautiful cinematography, the production design and the impressive special effects, which give authenticity to the elements of fantasy and magic.
On the other hand, the costume design and set design allow us to enhance the fascinating world created to put the characters in it.
Cleverly, the series plays with the idea of ​​the predator that is always trying to catch its prey, and a prey that instead of fearing feels safe around the predator. But also with other concepts, such as the panther as a symbol of bravery and the energy of the night, as an allegory of courage, valor and power.
A panther has transformed into a young man. And there we see Sun showing the wild, stealthy and solitary nature of one of these mammals climbed in the trees, from which it also stalks its prey.
The scriptwriters did not miss anything: Thamuya Thasananukulkij, Krongkanok Ruetaimas and Supoj Norrabud always kept in mind the panthers' love of swimming.
We can see that it is a very fierce and aggressive spirit animal towards enemies in its constant confrontation with Nam. It seems that for Sun, the character played by Jeng Chotipat Suthadsanasoung, a young actor whom we have seen in the BL series 'The Trainee ' and 'Fish Upon the Sky', is a spotted hyena with whom he will compete for food, shelter and to protect Junior.
In the same way, as an animal of power we distinguish Sun as a being that helps us not fear the darkness, but rather see it as an ally from whom we can learn great powers and lessons.
Junior's character is just amazing. And the choice of the actor to play him helps greatly in this. Like all penguins, they can swim at high speeds. Friendly, faithful and inclusive, Junior accepts the friendship of those who approach him.
Intelligent, with excellent orientation skills, he can join any academic club he puts his mind to.
In my opinion, the creators chose the penguin and the panther out of all the animals to make them the protagonist of a BL because this feline, as an animal totem, is a symbol of protection and power; for being respected as true martial artists of the animal world.
The panther is synonymous with superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, agility, endurance, durability, healing and senses. There is a belief that whoever has the panther as their totem will have the blessing of a fierce and aggressive totem. Likewise, because it is associated with the sun, and solar vitality in some cultures; for its ability to stealthily follow its prey for hours until the perfect moment to strike; for its ability to guide people through challenges and provide strength in difficult times. The stealthy and solitary nature of the black panther is considered a representation of inner strength and the ability to navigate life's obstacles with grace and resilience.
And these qualities will have to be demonstrated by Sun around Junior throughout the series.
While the penguin is the favorite because these seabirds have a love story that has made everyone who knows them fall in love, never better said. The way he courts the penguin and the commitment he shows has made him a symbol of fidelity and love in nature.
'Caged Again' shows that when it comes to love, communication and fidelity, penguins are excellent teachers, and can teach human beings how to live as a couple. They are a symbol of deep love and loyalty. They signify a lasting commitment and a lasting union between two people. They have only one partner for life, so they are known for their loyalty and fidelity in love.
Penguins can communicate and express love through their unique and distinctive vocalizations. These vocalizations are so special that they are often called "the song of the heart" as they represent the love and togetherness of these couples.
It may be very strange for some people, especially because of its very concept, but if you can get past that there is a series with very interesting humor and romance, and a story that will provoke mixed thoughts in the public.

Aww..

I didn't think I was the target audience for this, but you know what, I absolutely was, lol. A cute love story, adorable leads, and a story with a PSA that actually worked? Nothing about this sounds unappealing to me.

I've also never watched a drama about animal trafficking before, and it just worked out perfectly because in the first few episodes, my immediate thought was that the animal transformation aspect wasn't quite necessary. But that aspect added quite the depth to the PSA part of the story and to the depth of the leads relationship. Who were quite adorable together, might I add. The execution was also up to the mark on the same front, it had the right amount of focus without taking away too much from the leads themselves.

The romantic relationship between the leads also had a well crafted development, but before we get to that, let's talk about the leads themselves. Junior was adorable. His penguin truly penguined and I loved it. His mannerisms, his confident yet guarded demeanor, his adorableness, and his awkwardness, at times were the absolute best. Sun was the exact opposite, and just as adorable. Introverted, but with this aura of strength and bravery and completely awkward as opposed to Ju. Made sense, since they were a penguin and black panther respectively before they transformed after all.

Together, they just fit. The middle pieces of the puzzle, and everything about them complemented the other person. Watching them go from awkward friends to awkward maybe lovers to cutest boyfriends was a genuine pleasure, truly. They had an incredible support system in the side characters, who were always around to directly or indirectly push them towards each other.
The supporting characters were no joke either, by the end of the ten episodes, it wasn't just Ju and Sun who had clearly grown up, every single supporting character had grown in some way or another, and that's not something we see in a lot of dramas.

By the end, I was absolutely into it. Did it maybe get incredulous or a little off track sometimes? Absolutely, but it did nothing to take away from the enjoyment of the story. It was fun, a little campy and just a whole lot of sweet.

They had a great idea and strong imagery, but too many episodes for it

I seek out dramas with an unusual premise, and a penguin turned human is as unusual as it gets.

I loved the first half of the drama, how the unsual premise at first seemed to be nothing but a simple high school drama, complete with school bullying, an odd group of friends and a ghost -- but then turned out to have strong imagery of cages vs. freedom, of staying in the seemingly safe present vs. going out into the wild and unknown future. I loved the metaphor of school and teenage years as prison, which liberally used striped pyjamas with numbers, high walls, guards in uniforms and so on, where school is a prison / a cage that provides a safe space but at the same time, stifles growth -- versus the wild, and maybe dangerous woods, symbolising the unknown, in which you can get lost, but also be found again.

The metaphor gets spelled out in a medically induced dream and subsequent dialogues between Junior and Sun -- what will the future bring? What will we do when we grow up? Will we be brave enough to step out of our cages or will we go back to what we know? I think the animal-turned-human is also part of this imagery; as a human, we have much more freedom, we don't rely on instincts alone, we can be who we want and be with whom we want, even if it's a black panther.

Overall, this first part was a very good metaphorical coming-of-age comedy.

I loved Junior's character in these first episodes; he didn't know much about the world, but he did know what he wanted and went to get it, he was able to stand up for himself, even when he was betrayed by someone he had trusted his whole life. And he did all that while being an adorable penguin.

All of this was supported by good choices of sets and wardrobes; and the main actors portrayed their characters and their quirks and thoughts well (especially considering that they are newbies!). More than a few times, Junior really acted like a penguin in human skin, which was lovely to see.

In my opinion, the drama should have ended somewhere in episode 8, when Junior makes his decision whether he wants to go back to his cage or to live in an uncertain future but together with Sun.

Because after that, the writing falls apart. Sun and Junior change to a stereotypical top/bottom couple (with a whining bottom, and a sexually experienced(?) top), the side couple's development stalls completely, even to the very end, the narrative starts to feel redundant and made of ill-fitting pieces, leaving some plot-holes. Especially the last episode, with its weird time skips, and all too sweet ending that somehow tries to give even the minor characters a happy ending, is a huge let-down.

My theory is that the writer had a fantastic idea for a plot -- and then discovered that it wasn't enough to fill the standard 12 episode format, so they had to add more filler, and this is what we got.

Was it good?
There were a few highs, and some great imagery, as well as some good acted scenes. Unfortunately, the last three and a half episodes were weak.

Did I like it?
I loved the first two thirds, so much so that I thought the drama might become a new favourite; and didn't dislike the last third. It was just less than it could have been, so I don't think I'll ever rewatch it.

Would I recommend it?
I don't know. Maybe to someone who likes their BLs on the cute side and doesn't mind some fantastical elements and doesn't expect great writing.

A SILLY ADORABLE BL SERIES

Caged Again is such a refreshingly cute BL series with a unique twist. I’ve honestly never seen anything quite like it before. It’s super fluffy, wholesome, and lighthearted. At first, I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it because felt like I might be too old for something this silly, but sometimes, you just need a soft, feel-good show like Caged Again.

The story follows Junior, a penguin kept in a zoo who magically turns into a human. He ends up at a boarding school, where he meets Sun, a panther who also transforms into a human. Junior is bubbly, cheerful, and carefree, while Sun is the calm, quiet, and more reserved type, but over time, he warms up to Junior. 🐧

For me, Junior totally stole the show. He’s such a lovable and sweet character, and the actor really nailed the role. Even though the series is mostly light and fluffy, it doesn’t completely shy away from heavier topics like bullying, which feels pretty realistic for a high school setting. Plus, there’s a bit of a thriller vibe, with villains trying to capture and sell Junior and his penguin brother.

All the characters are hilarious: from Junior’s group of friends and the bullies to the principal, school staff, the ghost, the gay couple, and even the villains. And don’t even get me started on the cartoon scenes showing Junior and Sun as a penguin and panther, those were just too adorable. It honestly felt like a nostalgic trip back to my childhood. Beneath all the silliness, the show somehow manages to touch on the complexities of being human.

The actors are definitely underrated, but their performances are solid. The pacing is just right, not too slow, not too rushed. The only downsides for me were the weak audio and a few plot holes here and there. But overall, the plot holds up and gave me plenty of laughs.

It’s easily one of the silliest and most unserious BL series I’ve watched, and that’s exactly what made it so fun.

A hidden cute gem

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

This was a cute and unique series that I was shocked by and enjoyed. Although the concept sounded weird, they somehow made it work- a penguin turned human to experience human life and wound up in a school where a black panther (who also turned human) was. Their relationship was cute, especially since Sun, in the beginning, really just wanted to eat Junior, the penguin. But, in the end, it turned into love.

Of course, in the beginning, there was some form of bullying, but they were able to solve that. What got to me was the zookeeper looking for Junior throughout the whole series as he wanted to sell him (with some other animals) to earn money for his ailing mother. It was indeed a weird series, but they were able to pull it off, even getting me emotional sometimes.

There were parts where, of course, I did not understand or just did not make sense to me, but I still rolled with it as the storyline still had me invested, and I genuinely wanted to know how they were going to end this series. I like watching series like this that can surprise me, and that's why I give these series a chance and watch them, because they can either be good or bad- this one was good!

Don't Waste Your Time

I don't want to comment much. There is nothing good about this series apart from Junior's character, he looks very cute, relaxed and innocent. the rest is bad. I give a score of 8 for Junior's acting, Nam is quite good too. Sun, he is good looking, but his character is lifeless. As for the plot, I don't know what to say? the plot is very weak, lifeless, there are many scenes that I feel are unnecessary, unimportant, and don't build anything to help the plot run well. If you only care about Junior you can watch this series. don't expect anything else. don't waste your time.
