O Amor é Como um Gato (2024)

Qué pena desaprovechar de esta forma a tu cast

Yo soy de darle mil oportunidades a las series. Porque adoro el BL, eso no es nada nuevo para la gente que esté acostumbrada a que haga mis reviews al respecto. Por eso he terminado esta serie, que bien podría haber sido un descarrilamiento con varias víctimas en un accidente en la autopista.

Un Mew que se pasa más de media serie sin sonreír un poquito. Una falta absoluta de cualquier tipo de química. Dos capítulos finales que intentan resolver todo lo que los 10 primeros ni siquiera construyen. Un odio exacerbado hacia los perros, que nos deja claro por qué el drama se llama "Love is like a cat" en un show sobre un dog café. Personajes que actúan sin justificación.

No sé, no es que yo sea la persona más avezada en storytelling, pero podría haber hecho las cosas bastante mejor. Qué pena.

silly, stupid, and simply superb

Let's start out with the basics--Was this a good show? No, not at all. Was it my favorite show to watch every week and did I have an amazing time? Absolutely. She contains multitudes. This show is not a deep and meaningful exploration of love or masterpiece of storytelling. But it's short and it's sweet and it's very, very cute. If you like Mew or you like Just B or you like your romcoms a little (lot) goofy with quick, convenient endings, you'll enjoy it here! But there's not much more to it than that.

- The Full Review -

STORY:
This story is wildly paced. A slow start, an abrupt end, and about a dozen odd changes in pace and tone along the way make for a... unique viewing experience. Simplifying the plot and doing away with some of the extraneous plot threads would probably have better suited the run time, as well as tempering the hidden traumas to match the lighter tone of the script.
That said, it's fun! The reality show was a cute concept and it the script handled the humor well. The characters were charming and it was easy to root for them through all the mess.

ACTING:
I love Mew, and I think he's a wonderfully charming romcom actor. He's got a very lovable loser energy that boosts his characters transformation. My only real complaint is that I never bought the brooding bad guy persona. JM was a surprisingly good match for him, with an understated and genuine chemistry. His character was quite subdued, but still offered a range of personality without feeling stale or one-note.

PRODUCTION:
Lol. Lmao even. Why is there one dog at the dog cafe? Why are the translation earbuds splatter painted? Why does the manager have a giant painting of Uno with a guitar in his office? What was up with the rooftop pinterest tent? Many decisions did not make sense here. They didn't necessarily *hurt* the show, but it did make it feel... additionally amateur. Better choices could have been made with the budget they had.

INTIMACY:
Truly, I am including this category because it made me laugh so hard I cried. Why did this company evil edit their kiss? We know Mew can kiss. The footage suggests they can both kiss (Sorry, JM, I don't know you like that). Why did you cut 7 times and then start filming the back of his head? What... what was going on here? I just want to know what was so scary about a simple kiss that you had to ruin your own moment that way.

In all, I had a great time and I would watch it again... But I'm not sure I'd recommend it to the average viewer. If you're looking for something silly and fun, this might be a good, quick watch for you! If you don't like BLs that don't invest in their own story, this is probably not going to tickle your fancy.

Thoughts after the first two episodes

Filmed two years ago, I can’t believe we finally get to see this on air. Thoughts just from watching the first two episodes that aired.

So from the first two episodes, a lot didn’t happen. It was more setting up the rest of the show for me. I found some scenes hilarious, some cute, and some that seemed like they weren’t needed in my opinion.

As far as the language goes, I think The Koreans seemed more comfortable of course because it was produced by them and everyone spoke the language. I applaud Mew for trying something new and stepping outside his comfort zone. I was sure some people, who didn't know about the studio behind this, obviously would struggle and possibly have issues with the language switching. However, I think the drama explained it well in the first 2 episodes. People in multilingual homes would probably be able to relate to the fact that you can understand but not speak a language. So I think it's entirely plausible for Piuno to be able to do the same.

Also, this is the premise of all the shows this company has and will be releasing. Thai actors will be speaking in their language and Korean actors will be speaking in theirs. After doing some research, I saw that of the remaining films, Wuju Bakery was filmed last after and a new production team took over. So how they go about the language thing, we will just have to wait.

As far as the acting goes, I think everyone did a good job but it's the first 2 episodes and I think there is room for improvement overall. But I do want to address Mew's acting specifically. I’ve seen some of Mew's recent dramas and I can tell his acting has improved a lot since this was filmed before them. But I don’t think his acting was as bad as people making it out to be. Also, it’s clear some of you just have a bias to begin with when it comes to him.

Lastly, I wish the episodes were longer to be able to fit things in more smoothly and expand on things a little better.

Will be looking forward to seeing how this plays out over the next episodes to come.

Revised text:
I'm amazed that after two years, we finally get to see the show on air. Here are my thoughts on the first two episodes that have aired.

Not much happened in the first two episodes; they were mostly setting up the rest of the show. I found some scenes hilarious, some cute, but some seemed unnecessary in my opinion.

Regarding the language, Korean actors seemed more comfortable, as the show was produced by them and everyone spoke the language. I applaud Mew for stepping outside his comfort zone and trying something new. Although some people may struggle with the language switching, I think the drama explained it well in the first two episodes. People in multilingual households can relate to understanding a language without being able to speak it. Therefore, it's plausible for Piuno to be able to do the same.

This is the premise of all the shows this company has and will release. Thai actors will speak in their language, and Korean actors will speak in theirs. I researched and found that Wuju Bakery was filmed last, and a new production team took over. We'll have to wait to see how they handle the language issue.

Regarding acting, everyone did a good job, but there's room for improvement overall. I want to address Mew's acting specifically. I've seen some of his recent dramas and can tell his acting has improved since this show was filmed. However, I don't think his acting was as bad as some people are saying. It's clear from the comments, some may have a bias against him.

Lastly, I wish the episodes were longer to fit things in more smoothly and expand on things better.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the show plays out in the upcoming episodes.
