Alien catboys from the Planet Meow... because why not
This may be the most unserious drama I've ever watched.The ML and his sister are aliens in the shape of cats hailing from a planet called Meow. Sure. Whatever. They use actual cats for these scenes, which are extremely cute and a highlight of the drama. These aliens can take on human or housecat form, or a weird in-between where they're humans but with fuzzy white cat ears.
So our alien catboy owes the human FL a life debt, which he thinks he should repay by maneuvering her into a housemate relationship with him and his sister. (The FL at this point is homeless due to some egregious backstory trauma involving an abusive uncle and a dead mom.) From there, the FL begins to fall for the ML's advances, which involve sniffing her and saving her from mean girl bullies.
The acting from the leads was surprisingly decent. Within the realm of this insane world the drama has created, the FL actually acted with some reason and wasn't annoying. The ML character was.... interesting.... but he did a good job of acting out the very odd script he was given.
The story is a cliche-fest but with some wild curveballs thrown in. Basically it was both comforting, entertaining, and manic all at once. Perfect for when you need a dopamine-fest delivered in short bursts of 2-minute episodes. It's not a good drama, but if you put aside logic and standards, you can have a really fun time watching this. And if not, hey, you've lost less than an hour of your life.
