It's a bird! It's a plane! NO, it's Cat-Boy!

Oddly, I enjoyed this drama.

I see a lot of reviews here and elsewhere complaining about plot, acting, "how can she choose to love a CAT?", and "she should have ended up with the HUMAN!".

Let's see... plot. It's about a girl and a cat-boy. How realistic can it get?

Acting... It's about a girl and a cat-boy. I'm not watching it while expecting it to win an award at Canne's or even an Oscar.

"How can she choose to love a CAT?" Well... it's about a girl and a cat-boy! Seriously though, for all the ones going "ewww", what's wrong with falling in love with a cat? Now, if he was just a normal cat and not cat-boy, then I can understand a bit of the "ewww" thing. If we are only discriminating for human on human, then we should also say "ewww" to elves, robots, aliens, witches, demons, and everything else too.

"She should have ended up with the HUMAN!" See above paragraph. In a way, this close-minded view makes me a little sad. This reminds me of all the racism in the real world. White should only be with White. Black should be with Black. Rich should only be with Rich. Poor should only be with Poor.

Basically, what it comes down to is this... it's about a girl and a cat-boy! The most annoying thing when I went to watch Star Wars with some friends years ago is when they start complaining about the movie... "That's NOT possible!". Really? It's about space ships, robots, lasers, aliens, and... Jedis that can use super mind powers!

When watching dramas like this, it's probably best to check Reality at the door in order to enjoy it. The drama never took itself seriously anyway, so why should we?

Would I watch it again? Yes, some day when I need to escape from reality for a little while... escape from all the thieving, cheating, murders, and wars in the world.
