Given the subject matter they did a good job with the well crafted story with enough humor in the situations and emotional background. Surprisingly the premise is quite involving and romantic. Didn't expect to be in to a love triangle with a cat. At 12 episodes it didn't get boring. The lead actress is likeable enough - she could have been an annoying role but she wasn't. The lead actor L does have the looks like of a human cat. The cat does look cute. Better than some shows with higher ratings. Not just for cat lovers.

I agree that this drama is very underrated. I laughed, smiled, cried, and empathised with the characters in the story. They were well-written and modeled after cats and dogs. The main couple were charming as well as the second couple. If in other dramas, even in Chinese dramas, you'd often feel like skipping the story of the second couple because they seem like fillers, but the second couple in this series was adorable. Both couples are like dogs and cats which are natural enemies but here, they fell in love. Even the parents in this drama were funny. All of them sorted out their differences and misunderstandings, some of which were thanks to our stray turned domesticated cat-boy, Hong-Jo. The actors were also exceptional and their portrayals will really make you see their cat/dog characteristics. If you're hesitating to watch this drama, give it a go and see for yourself. Maybe you won't look at your pet in the same way again after watching.

P. S. It's an (open) happy ending. I'd like to believe the webtoon Sol-A wrote and her story with Hong-Jo had a happy ending after all the waiting since there's not much explanation in the end.

" Meow, the secret boy " crafted a beautiful atmosphere, but the story was boring in the end.

First thing first, the drama is that kind of drama that feels like watching a fairy tale being unfolded in front of your eyes, think the likes of Thirty but Seventeen or Angel's last mission love, in which, the same actor was the lead. So, the cinematography of the drama, as well as the light, heartwarming mood, were spot on for the story. The transformation of the cat to a human were handled masterfully too, and there were few awkward moments to it. Also, the second couple was adorable and it was easy to root for them.

However, even though the first part of the drama had some interesting aspects, the main story burned its momentum quickly. Which is a blessing the fact that they only made twelve episodes, or reduced it to that amount of episodes, for that matter. Actually, though the main couple had chemistry, their romance was odd and it got awkward in the end. The love triangle, moreover, was boring.

Now, for the performances, everyone in the cast did a great job and there weren't really any bad performances. Shin Ye Eun showed us a more comical side of hers, Kim Myung Soo was hands down, the perfect man to play the cat, and Seo Ji Hoon, with those eyes that seemed ready to shed tears in any moment, nailed the dramatic character.

So, overall, five out of ten.
