Not what I expected
As always, everything is my own opinion and not intended to offend or upset anyone. (Let's be honest, I'm just rambling, really.)
Initially, the plot of this show sounded a little weird to me - a boy falls in love with the human reincarnation of his childhood dog? That just seemed a little weird to me, if I'm honest. HOWEVER, I loved this show so much. I cried. I laughed. I squeed with joy and cheered on th humans falling in love with a human!dog and human!cat. I reached a point where I didn't care if it was weird, I needed these characters to fall in love and live happily ever after.
Of course, that isn't exactly how things went, but you know what? It worked.
Something that I really liked about this series was that it wasn't just a simple reincarnation - Choco and Milk just missed their human so much that they found away to come back to help him deal with his depression and they just happened to do it as humans this time. I thought that was a really cool concept, especially when it's shown that this isn't actually reincarnation because they weren't reborn, they were just given an alloted time. When they had to go back to Heaven, I sobbed my little heart out; the fact that it was only words on the screen describing how they just sat together as Choco cried because he wanted to be with Jung Woo...oh gosh, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I also really liked the idea of them finding a way to keep coming back, so they could still have lives.
Kim Seong Hyuk as Milk was fantastic - he really managed to pull off the cat-like behaviour without it coming across as rude or too much, and I honestly cannot wait to see him on screen in more. He had amazing chemistry with Park Seung Bin, and I loved watching Milk get confused and annoyed at the fact he was falling in love with Uncle. Lee Jae Bin as Choco was so cute I think I got a cavity; I truly believed this was a human puppy, without it being uncomfortable or over the top. Go Ho Jung was fantastic as Jung Woo, and despite the length of the episodes, he really managed to showcase his skills.
Over all, my only issue with the series is it was too short for my liking - I'd have loved longer episodes, but I feel like that's how we all feel when it comes to Korean BLs, they're always too short. I would absolutely love a second season, because it felt like the story was only getting started.
