It's nowhere near as bad as everyone says!

I don't entirely get why this has got SO much hate. I wonder why some BL fans expect high quality productions because, let's be honest, we're not really here for cutting edge directors or excellent scripts...we're here for the cuteness! Well, I am at least.

Yes, it's weird that there is a dog cafe with neither dogs nor customers. Yes, it's weird that the Korean characters can understand but not speak Thai, and the Thai guy can understand but not speak Korean. Yes, its weird (and a bit of a shame) that it takes half the series for the MC's to properly interact. Yes, it's weird that a vet in his 40's who wears Laboutin shoes has a 25 year old flatmate who he's clearly in love with. Yes, it's even more weird when you find out said vet looks exactly like the 25 year old's ex-boyfriend. And yes, it's weird that it's called Love Is Like A Cat when that phrase only appears as the last line in the last song at the end of the last episode. But who cares?!

The MC's are gorgeous (particularly Daybyeol) and work well together, Uno really develops as a character, and the CEO steals the show. There are some funny moments - Uno trying to bat away robot dogs while wearing cat ears springs to mind; sad moments - I even shed a tear for the poor doggy even though I'm really not an animal person; and adorable romantic moments - Uno's press conference...and that's plenty for me to spend a mere 3 hours of my life on.

Is it brilliant? No. But once you get past the weirdness, it's really quite enjoyable. If you're a BL watcher who doesn't expect HBO level productions, give it a go.
