Dear Movie Directors/Producers, If a movie is not officially labeled as a "musical," or intentionally adapted from a Broadway play, PLEASE do not allow for random fits of song and dance to interject themselves into a plot line. It is awkward for us as an audience, and probably not particularly pleasant for the actors involved, either. Thank you for your consideration, Omnichelle ---- I am not a fan of musicals in general. BUT, if I at least *know* that something is a musical going into it, I can prepare myself for it. Fair enough. But if you break into song and dance without pretense, rhyme or reason, I find it extremely awkward, and thus become a little agitated. That bit of bias aside... This movie is a very shallow and silly adaptation of a legitimately good story. I find that my complaint with most Korean movies is that they feel rushed and its characters commonly too undeveloped for me to care about them. You're My Pet is a shining example of this. Jang Geun Suk pretty much does what he's done in other roles he's had similar to this--acted as a kind of rebellious yet "brilliantly talented" something or other. Kim Ha Neul plays her part well enough for what the weak, choppy plot allows. There are perhaps one or two "swoony" moments between the lead characters, but nothing particularly exciting. Perhaps the best thing about this movie is the cinematography, which is very clean, modern and bright with interesting settings around Seoul. I enjoyed that much, at least. If you're one of those hard core Jang Geun Suk fans, I suppose it'd be worth the watch for you. He looks pretty. But if you're like me and are a big fan of the Kimi wa Petto franchise (Jdrama and manga), skip this. You'll just be disappointed.
