Finished the first 4 episodes, but to be honest the plot lacks any sense for me to continue. I have two cats in my home and I know quite a lot about cat behaviour. I expected the show to capitalise on this but L's character doesn't behave cat-like at all! I can write a whole list of things that just don't make sense. Per example: the only time he is afraid of being outdoors is the first night he is at the FL's house (he is afraid of the cars and dog barks) after that he is perfectly fine, he has no problems walking in the rain (cats hate water), etc.

I know this is fantasy so I should overlook details such as him converting into a fully dressed human each time (who seems to switch between two different trousers btw) or being able to speak and understand all human language, but I can't stand when he does incoherent things. He seems to know what everything is already, knows what drink he wants from a vending machine, knows how to find his way home from her office, when her dad collapses he knows what's going on and takes him out, knows how to lower a fever, he doesn't get into any accidents while walking around, etc... but the worst part is how it makes no sense whatsoever the argument that she, her presence, her stuff, makes him become human! The first time he converted into a human, she found him... So, he converted BEFORE meeting her.

And his existential crisis and how he is figuring it all out is again deviating from a more realistic approach: it happens that he converts and he (being a CAT) doesn't think much of it, whereas when she finds out (her being a HUMAN) she will start to dig into the reasons why he transforms.

Ultimately this topic has to be very well written or it can make people uncomfortable. We love our pets a lot, and they do adore us, but the love we share is more like a parent-child relationship. To make it evolve into a romantic relationship takes lots of careful and talented writing. Cats are not protective of their owners unlike some dogs can be, so I don't see how can they will fit the typical male Korean possessive behaviour here, but I'm sure they will.

I hope the webtoon writer sat two seconds with a cat before coming up with a story, and that is more coherent than this drama adaptation.

I love Infinite so I always check out Myungsoo's dramas, but I wish he could do something again like Miss Hammurabi. We all know he is super cute, he knows how to work his dimples, but roles like this will not get his acting career anywhere.

Ultimately, I'll end my rant by saying that the FL and the second ML are highly unlikable and her dad doesn't behave like a cat, rather he is a rotten cactus. The only good thing of the whole show is the cat (or cats) they use, super cute, but I hope they don't abuse them like giving them drugs to do the sleeping scenes (one time the FL puts the cat on her bed after his vet visit and he looks knocked out cold)

Won't waste more time on this show, but I have seen many positive comments, so maybe this is just not my cup of tea.
