a bit too cheesy and weak for me

*just a disclaimer i watched this drama alongside another drama while i waited for the episodes since it was airing, but i was so hooked onto the other drama that i quickly lost interest on this drama and eventually dropped it since it was starting to drag

Story; I initially was drawn into this drama with high hopes. The idea of a handsome human-cat shifting character carefully taking care of and watching over the female protagonist gave me thoughts of a cute fluffy romance drama and that thought was definitely fulfilled - you can really see the chemistry between the two protagonists and also especially within the friend group and I thoroughly enjoyed that. However, I noticed that as I continued to watch I became less and less interested by each episode and eventually forgot to watch the newer episodes that were being realeased while it aired. There's not much of a plot... it starts out strong but there is no significant events that take place apart from maybe one villain that's eventually brushed away. There's no quarrelling between characters, a very weak love triangle with the second male lead, and a shallow side story romance. However some people might prefer this seeing as it allows for more focus on the main characters.
I will say though, I appreciate the writers for not following a generic plot with an annoying second male lead and instead replacing it with a cute bromance.

Acting/Cast; L was a very nice addition to the drama considering he has had a similar role as a guardian angel in 'Angel's Last Mission' but I just wanna say: if you're looking for a drama with a protective male lead then I'd strongly suggest you watch his other drama seeing as it is much more enticing in my opinon with a stronger plot and a badass female lead with a tragic backstory.

In conclusion it was just overall a very generic average drama, I guess I'd recommend it to anyone that's bored since opinions differ (but I do have to say it was worth watching seeing L and the adorable cat that they casted :D)
