I didn't see a preview - not that it bothers me.

Having watched all four episodes, I’m wondering what kiss/es were cut because there was a lot of kissing throughout, though none were extended. I was just disappointed with the outcome of this brief romance due to an outside influence which needs to be resolved with a second series.

Love this show. It's refreshingly raunchy without being overt. Yak wants to kiss Dee so much... I think it'll be quite a while before he achieves that.

Coincidentally, I watched this after seeing the 'City of Stars' special episode that just came out and had the same theme; this one was superior in most respects. I almost didn't recognise Shun Wu because he'd let his hair grow longer and it really enhanced his appearance, plus the blue tuxedo he was wearing made him look extra adorable. So much kissing too... wow... you can feel the love.

Even this far into the drama, Shirasaki is still reticent and withdrawn. It's about time he loosened up and expressed more real emotion. The new guy who appeared right at the end is very masculine and handsome, so different from Asami. His appearance in the series the three of them are playing in is certain to upset the equilibrium established so far.

Indeed. A magical solution for a fictional disease.

No, it wasn't a commercial at all (no manufacturer was seen or mentioned), but the translator earbuds were an essential prop. As drama I don't think it was that bad and what was presented worked in the context of the story.

In a word: good. It's amusing, fresh, a bit silly, has your standard quota of attractive young men, excellent production values... everything one expects from a GMMTV romcom.

Alright, there was not a cat to be seen and the title is ridiculous, but aside from that, I'm going to dissent from the majority opinion and say that the last two episodes brought the diverse aspects of the storyline together very nicely and made for a satisfying conclusion. That's why I increased my score to 8.5.

A word about the translator earbuds: I asked Google Copilot about them and it answered thus: 'In the Korean BL series “Love is like a cat,” the actors used earpieces that facilitated instant translation between Thai and Korean. Interestingly, such earpieces do indeed exist in real life!' It then provided the following information:-

Yes. Remember when he was with Linkit talking about the novel and name of the character in it? That's when he changed his name.

I know many people are disappointed that after Songjam went through the mirror he ended up back in the past, however, one of the persons he lived with was responsible for the unfinished novel that Aksorn was trying to find the author of. Songjorm changes his name, studies to become a doctor and helps to deliver Akson as a baby then waits for twenty years to meet him. That's where we're at now. It's not ideal but I wouldn't put it past the writers to contrive that somehow after halfway through the final episode (probably during another atmospheric event) we could have them the same age in the same universe. We'll see.

Rather chaotic and outright funny at times, this is a quirky series that has a lot going for it. I get the the feeling that when Jin Woo kissed Ki Sub, it could have been the first time Ki Sub kissed a boy and might also have been his first kiss, despite the multitude of girls he dated briefly that were of no consequence. Jin Woo is still determined even after the kiss not to admit he likes Ki Sub and I think the next step in his conquest will be to inveigle his way into Jin Woo's bed. As for the other couple, we don't know yet why Balg Eum has such an antipathy towards his former boyfriend In Ho, but again, I have a feeling that relations will eventually thaw between them and they will reconcile.

Peem telling Phu he's mean (which he's not - among other character flaws) and later remembering how he described Phu's adorable facial features then leaning in for a long kiss are the type of contradictions that don't seem to matter in a show like this. There's no real storyline, just a bunch of attractive university guys in two different faculties who have become friends, couples develop and they become boyfriends and so it continues. What's not to like? It's wholesome, simple, entertaining fare with lots of local colour that's a joy to watch.

I think you can describe this romance as bittersweet and even though the love between Pun and Yoh was heartfelt and genuine in the end despite never kissing each other, it seemed to work in the context of the show. There should have been more extended scenes of their past life and life when they decided to be together a year later until Yoh passed away, but it was certainly a different take on vampires. The story dragged a bit at times but was nicely done and well cast, particularly Pun's otherworldly sweetness and calmness.

It really isn't that bad and though it was touted as BL there's scarcely a hint of it so far but if they're thinking of bringing it in for the last two episodes I'd say it would be a mistake. What has bound this mini-series together is Deok Gu the dog whom Uno meets at the beginning by saving him and develops a responsibility for him. Naturally, he's devastated that Deok Gu is infested with heartworms and needs to be put down. It's touching then to see Uno take him out for a gentle treat ensconced in the sidecar of his motorcycle and open his heart out to him. I hope the finale is not messed up and reaches a logical and satisfying conclusion.
