Love Is Like a Cat (2024)

Total disappointment !

The story in itself is pretty bland, to say the least. But i definitely think that if done right there could've been many situations for the main leads to bond. The story itself was more centred on the trauma of the ML rather than the romance. The romance is just kind of... there without any sort of build up. It's a slow burn but there is absolutely no tension or chemistry between the two leads. Calling it an "enemies to lovers" story would be an insult to the trope. And the entire thing with Uno's father and sister was unnecessary and took up the time they could've used for more intimate scenes between the characters. If you're going to half-ass the storyline why even include that part?
Now if we talk about the acting... I have no words left for Mew because why does he act like an absolute rookie? Throught the entire show he has put up the same expression. Otherwise the other actors were actually pretty good.

All in all, the only good thing about the show is the ending music.

Disappointing Drama

Unfortunately, a major disappointment despite its well-known cast. While the premise seemed cute and quirky, the execution was a letdown on almost every level. One of the biggest issues was the total lack of chemistry between the two leads, they never felt believable as a couple. It was made worse by the strange decision to have them speak different languages throughout the show, which created an emotional disconnect and made the dialogue feel disjointed and awkward.

The storyline itself lacked depth and direction, often relying on clichéd plot devices and unresolved conflicts. Pacing was uneven, and the emotional beats never quite landed. Even the romantic development felt forced and rushed. I had high hopes for this series, especially since I really enjoyed Mew Suppasit in TharnType. Unfortunately, Love is Like a Cat turned out to be a disappointment and didn’t live up to its potential.

I Had High Hopes...

The first time I saw the poster of this series, I was surprised to see Mew on the poster. I had high hopes on this series. I am somewhat disappointed on this series.

First and foremost, the title of this series is "Love Is Like a Cat" and I didn't see a single cat on the span of 12 episodes. I was confused by the title the moment I knew that it was a dog café.

Speaking of the dog café, I expected more dogs on the dog café, we all know, to those who have completed the series, that we have only seen one dog on the entirety of the series. I was also disappointed with that. I was a little bit excited to see more cute dogs. :>

But the plot, for me, is good enough. With a different title and more dogs, the series might be better. :>

OK, I guess. I'm just bitter about what could have been.

It had its moments, but falls short in execution for me. For a South Korea-Thailand "collaboration" it was missing any real sense of collaborating. The Thai male lead communicates solely in Thai and that is the extent of the Thai-related anything and him being Thai doesn't influence the plot really at all. It would really change nothing about the story to have him be from somewhere else, even just somewhere else in Korea. Like it is resolved so quickly with the ear pieces that it doesn't even take advantage of the potential misunderstandings that could come from not speaking the same language. And it never really seemed to explain how/why his assistant and manager apparently both understood Thai, but didn't speak it. Just as he understood Korean, but didn't speak it. Overall, it just felt half-baked. There was so much missed potential, it's hard to just focus on viewing it for what it is and not what it could have been.

Also, this feels like a weird complaint, but their traumas both felt fairly light for the amount that it seems to affect them. Like a stray dog that used to be friendly, growled and snapped at him once and that's why Piuno is terrified of dogs. I mean, it was a stray. It could have been hurt or protecting its puppies. It's not even like it even actually bit him. He also saved the dog in the beginning because it reminded him of that dog, so he clearly still cared about it. And then Dae is afraid of love because he and his ex got outed as being a couple and his ex thought it would be better for them to break up. It was giving "Nobel Idiocy" trope, not betrayal. I mean, if it was ex's idea to come out and then he bailed rather than dealing with the circumstances that would be different. But this felt like the ex saw that Dae loved to sing and might want to pursue that career and didn't want to stand in his way. But, maybe I've just seen too many of the more angsty dramas where you have people who were SAed by someone they should have been able to trust (stepparent/friend/partner/etc), born and raised in a secret room with nearly no human interaction for like 20 years, watched one or both parents die, been kidnapped (at least once), almost been murdered by relatives, etc.

The reality TV show seemed a bit odd to me. And the woman was frustrating, but also seemed incompetent. When she saw the dog come back and they were reunited the other woman in the van was in tears and she was really like "ugh this won't get views" like...are you dumb or just clueless? And then she proved she was both by ignoring the contract they'd signed which could get her fired/sued.

It's Not Worse Only Because It's Short

From the start, I watched this BL with low expectations, influenced by the comments. On top of that, I was already hesitant because it's a bilingual drama, which rarely works well (as was the case with Peach of Time). Unfortunately, my intuition was right. The plot is weak, many scenes are cringeworthy, and for such a short drama, too much time is wasted on irrelevant moments that add nothing to the story.

The Korean actors in the main cast seem to have potential for other BLs, but the script doesn’t do them any favors. Mew, for example, comes across as a bad actor here, which doesn’t match his real ability. Also, maybe I missed something, but the title mentions a cat, yet there isn’t one in the drama.

In the end, it's not a total disaster. The cinematography is good, the costumes are decent, and the cast is talented. However, the script is terrible, and the only saving grace is that the short runtime prevents it from being even worse. A disappointment for Mew's fans who had high hopes for this BL.

Where’s the love and the cat?

I’m not the type to make a review with only three stars, but it was not a good series. This title literally reminds me of old fashion cupcakes were they ate everything, but a cupcake and Love Is like a cat is the exact same thing which is their is no cat! The setting is at a dog cafe and they only showed a dog which they had to send to heaven which almost made me cry, but can one dog just stay alive in a series. I’m not a big fan of mew since I literally can’t get passed ep 4 of Tharntype because in my opinion it’s such a bad show, but this show also wasn’t really for him. I don’t have a problem with the mixed language dramas because I’m so used to hearing different languages in real life that it feels normal for me, but it’s kind of confusing to me on how people can understand Pi Uno while a lot of people can’t, but also I’m wondering if Uno can already understand his boss, hyung, and father then why does he have to wear an headphone? Is it because it connects and translates to other people by it. I am also a huge fan of JustB which is were Dae Byeol and Gi Min are from so I definitely won’t hate any of them. I loved the plot twist of Gi Min liking Dae Byeol because I couldn’t even tell that was their. I think the reason why I didn’t really enjoy this show was because I just didn’t like the whole plot and how to story unfolded. I also didn’t like the producer of Dooby Dooby Job because the fact that Pi Uno literally got so injured she only cared about the camera if it was still recording for the viewers and that they broke the rules of no cameras after 9 and filmed them giving the shot to the dog so it can rest. I don’t really recommend this show, but it depends on if you want to watch it.

How disappointing

Wow this was a disappointment.
Out of place music that made me want to turn the sound off.
The fact that we didn't get a proper interaction between the main ship for 5 eps and even then it was meh.
The story as it is and the execution is really lacklustre, I really didn't care about any of the characters and the vibes were flat.
Why is the dog cafe empty of dogs? Where are all the dogs?
The whole translation earpod thing is so lazy and how tf does it work????
I really can't watch any more, I like mew and this korean actor seemed good but the writing and what the story is is not it.

I finally got my "Mew" dose!

If you can't stand Mew speaking Thai while the rest speak in Korean, then skip this show now, so you don't end up whining lol

I'm solely here for Mew and I don't regret it. I've missed Mew since TharnType and this is the one show I see him again after so long. Boy, I miss that smile, that charming look and all of Mew.

Besides Mew, I do like the other co-star as well, especially JM and the vet (except for the baddies)

It's not the best BL out there but it really isn't that bad, really.

Plus, the title gives it all! You can pretty much know the show is gonna be somewhat shallow, fluffy and lighthearted from the title. So, don't expect more than that and just enjoy the show.

If you're someone who's looking for that perfect show that nails every aspect, then get out of this show. If you just want something nice to watch before sleep to unwind, then you are in for little treat

This deserves more recognition tbh

I loved this, the story, the acting, the OSTs, the visuals, everything about this drama was giving what it should, the story was unique, enjoyable and not boring at all the only flaw in the story is it needs more interaction between the male leads (by interaction I mean kisses, hugs, cuddles, etc,) I felt like we didn’t get enough but it was still cute enough to feel those aspects without seeing them often. (but then again “Love is like a cat” and cats are not very affectionate right?)

I would recommend it to anyone, don’t get discouraged from watching this just because of hate comments, reviews or lower ratings, everyone has their own standards and in my opinion this should be at least 7.5/10⭐️overall.
