If you think Imaginary Cat is a silly fantasy feline, I assure you: The cat is real!
Jong Hyun, an aspiring but struggling webtoon writer, has been loving and caring his sassy cat Bok Ghil for 7 years. Enters Na Woo, a café part-timer who lost her cat long time ago, and she's ambitiously drawn to both Jong Hyun and Bok Gil.
If you think Imaginary Cat is a silly fantasy feline, I assure you: The cat is real! I am surprisingly impressed for the depth within the story, beyond this strange title! This is not a fluffy romcom drama with a cat subplot... More than that, it focuses on Jong Hyun's emotional journey on his career and personal struggles. Him and his cat’s moments propel his character growth, I think the plot is brilliant! There's a romance subplot, but the female lead wasn’t appealing because she’s constantly being so nosy by invading Jong Hyun’s personal space.
Both Yoo Seung Ho and the cat Bok Ghil were connecting with each other so well that I enjoy this drama solely for their chemistry. Their scenes are uniquely shot from a cat person’s perspective. Also, we can hear the cat’s inner thoughts; which I want to thank the screenwriters for writing Bok Ghil scripts awesomely. They did their research on cat's logics and behavior really well. I believe that this story was written by a cat lover, that stay true consistently until the end.
There are several emotional plot twists that had me giggling, crying so hard. I ended up re-watching the whole series after it’s done. I appreciate how the plot is going and how they are portrayed in the story. I would recommend this to any animal lovers. It’s a short watch (8 eps @35 min), so if you want to feel an endearing cat-loving journey, please watch Imaginary Cat.
