Hooked from the start!!!!!
I started this series without much expectation from the storyline, but since FirstKhao are one of the best actors and I love all of their series, I thought to give it a go . Boy was I wronggg, I became obsessed within 10 mins !!! I love love love some fantasy or supernatural elements in any story and since I am a cat person, I was literally giggling (more like laughing like a maniac) when I got the best of both worlds. Supernatural element is minimal as of now, but I am content with that.As always, FirstKhao are so natural and have one of the best chemistries (in my personal opinion). I am glad they finally have a cute, fluffy series, since I always re-watch there other series like Eclipse (when I feel frustrated) and Only Friends (when I want drama). Now I have a go-to series whenever I feel down.
I am a binge watcher and this is first series of my life i am trying to watch as it gets aired, since I wrongly assumed it as a monotonous and cute only story (blame is on me since I didnt watch any trailers). Now did I enjoy the episode? You bet I did !! Do I regret not waiting to binge watch ? regretting a wee bit (if wee bit defines as alot) since I will have to wait for a week now ... and again and again and again. But a new experience is always welcome, I kinda like this feeling of waiting for now atleast.
Definitely looking forward to next episode (><)

As someone who finished reading the novel, this series is in fact 90% romantic comedy, and 10% drama for Lynx. I also love the fact that they included details that aren't mentioned in the novel. There were scenes and details they excluded but added more meaningful scenarios to it, which is surprisingly make sense to it.
10/10 to the actors, and it's only for episode 1. Kudos to everyone, Cat For Cash will be everyone‘s comfort show.

FirstKhaotung is the best ship ever??
From the very beginning, I already knew this series was going to be good — and I wasn’t wrong at all.Cat for Cash quickly pulled me in with its atmosphere and characters. There’s something very special about the way the story is told — soft, emotional, but at the same time full of tension that keeps you watching.
One of my favorite parts is definitely the eye contact between the leads. The way they look at each other feels so meaningful. Their eyes express emotions better than words — curiosity, hesitation, affection, and growing trust. Those silent moments made the chemistry feel real and deep.
I loved how the connection between them develops naturally. It doesn’t feel rushed, and every small interaction matters. Even simple scenes become intense because of their expressions and the way they hold each other’s gaze.
Overall, Cat for Cash is a BL that made me feel invested from the start.
I truly enjoyed it, and it confirmed what I felt from episode one — this series was always going to be something special..💞

Fluffy and Cute Cats: Big Tiger & Lynx
I love this fluff and cute side of First and Khaotung, they have been great since The Eclipse, their debut series as a couple. They have a remarkable chemistry.Now moving on to 'Cat For Cash' series, Lynx never liked cats—or his mother. But when he’s stuck running her cat café, he has no choice but to team up with Tiger, a charming debt collector who can actually understand cats, to pay off her debts.
After watching the first episode of 'Cat For Cash,' I'm so glad and convinced that they are growing together in their craft as actors, and can take given script now.
We are used to seeing them turning from enemies to lovers and in action or thriller storylines, this series 'Cat For Cash's reveals their versatile side of them. It's cute to see them in such a setup.
FirstKhao, I've been a huge fan since day one.❤️

Cat For Cash (2026) – EP.6
Episode 6 is easily one of the warmest episodes so far.Lynx and Tiger travel to visit Lynx’s mother’s hometown after paying respects at her grave. There, we learn more about her background — her love for cats was not random, but something inherited from her father, who happens to be the head of a cat association. This detail adds both humor and emotional grounding to the story.
In her old room, Lynx discovers a notebook. Inside it is something unexpected: his mother had once dreamed of adventure. She had planned a “treasure hunt” involving the Nine Lucky Cats.
What follows is not just a cute side quest.
The search for the nine cats — hidden in temples, graffiti, landscapes, and everyday corners of the town — becomes symbolic. Happiness is not something grand or dramatic. It is something that exists quietly, waiting to be noticed.
More importantly, Lynx begins to understand something about his own existence.
He realizes he was not an unwanted child.
This emotional shift is subtle but powerful. The episode gently reframes his insecurity about being born into complicated circumstances. The treasure hunt becomes a journey toward self-acceptance.
We also learn why Tiger, not Lynx, inherited the ability to hear the cats’ voices — a reveal that deepens the mythology without losing the series’ light tone.
Overall, EP.6 delivers comfort, warmth, and emotional reassurance. It reminds us that sometimes happiness is already around us — we just need someone to help us see it.

First impression: a quietly emotional drama shaped by loss, silences, and a lingering calm
Amid the frantic pace of contemporary productions, Cat for Cash emerges as an invitation to slow down and find beauty in the ordinary. With an almost tangible softness, the series turns the simple premise of a cat café into a space where grief, healing, and affection intertwine naturally. While the first episodes plant the seed of a light romantic comedy, it is as the story unfolds that its true soul is revealed: a narrative about rebuilding bridges to the past while learning to listen, quite literally, to the secrets that life, and the felines, have to share.The show’s greatest triumph lies in the undeniable chemistry between First and Khaotung, whose performances reach a new level of refinement. Far removed from the explosive conflicts of their previous works, the connection between Tiger and Lynx is shaped in silence, in glances overflowing with curiosity and growing tenderness. Tiger, a debt collector hiding a vulnerable heart beneath a stern exterior, and Lynx, burdened by absence and loss, form a duo with a quietly magnetic sweetness. It is a slow burn that respects the natural rhythm of feelings, where every touch and every hesitation seems to carry the weight of a confession.
Visually, the production is a delight of warm lighting and intimate framing, drawing viewers into a café that feels more like a safe harbor. The script shines brightest when it draws poetic parallels between human and feline behavior, treating its touch of fantasy with a grounded sincerity that makes it both believable and deeply moving. Episode two, in particular, stands out as a small masterpiece of sensitivity, transforming a search for missing cats into a journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
Cat for Cash is not merely a series to watch; it is a place to inhabit when the outside world feels too heavy. With a soundtrack that underscores each emotional beat with precision and performances that elevate the writing to excellence, the show establishes itself as one of the season’s brightest gems. It is proof that happiness often lies not in grand gestures, but in the color of a glance, the taste of a shared memory, or the soft purr of someone who has finally found their place in the world.

Excellent performances
Cat For Cash may sound like a fantasy drama with a quirky premise, but its execution is surprisingly serious and polished.The production quality is solid, with well-composed camera angles, visually pleasing shots, and smooth sound design that fits the mood of each scene. The fantasy elements are handled carefully rather than played for laughs only.
What truly carries the drama is the acting. First and Khaotung (and P'Fresh too)’s performances are outstanding: emotional, natural, and deeply convincing. Their chemistry and emotional depth make the story engaging even when the plot feels unconventional.
Overall, Cat For Cash proves that a strange fantasy concept can still deliver a heartfelt, well-made, and emotionally resonant drama.

EP1
At first, I didn’t have very high expectations, BUT I knew it was going to be good. Then when I started watching, I was surprised because it actually exceeded my own expectations. I really enjoyed it the whole time. There were so many scenes I liked, and if you’re reading this, you really should watch it.And aside from FirstKhaotung’s chemistry (which is already unquestionable), their chemistry with the other cast members is also really great. I could truly feel the connection between all the characters. Overall, episode 1 was already so good for me and it made me want to keep watching the next episodes.

They're soo freaking adorable!!!!!!!
I started this drama cz i heard gangster x cafe owner🤭 and also cz of FirstKhaotung. Loved episode 1 soo much i put it on hold to binge watch but then i couldn't control myself so watching on air again. It did get a little boring in episode 2 but then it got better. Personally i feel this series would make a much better webtoon than a series cz cats play a important role here. Usually in the animal movies I've watched they add expressions and mouth movement to the animals which is not the case here so that felt kinda weird for me. What they've done is not bad just that it's not what I'm used to. Another thing that's kinda new here is the Lynx is literally a cat in human form not a guy who looks like a cat. The way Khao stands, turns everything is pretty much cat like also the change in scent when in love. That's something new.I think ep 2 is the only boring episode so far the rest of the episodes are soo damn cute❤️❤️. I think this is the 1st time firstkhao are not lying or hiding things from each other in a drama😆. Ahem can i say i am shipping Doc. Pom and Leo. Ik that won't come true cz both have their partners🤭 guess it's a ghost ship for now. They're both soo adorable when they're jealous haha i love it!!

A pleasant and lovely surprise
This is my first ever review so I was a bit hesitant (and nervous). I felt I needed to give an honest review of Cat for Cash and FirstKhaotung.What a pleasant surprise. I didn’t have high expectations after watching the pilot trailer and the official trailer. However, the first episode blew my mind. I couldn’t stop crying after watching it. Seeing people online relate to the mother’s struggles and remembering the pain of losing a loved one. That is what good storytelling does.
This is a breath of fresh air for BL dramas and personally, my highlight for the year so far.
First and Khaotung are both excellent and exceptional actors who executed their roles well.
All in all - a great series and must-watch. Bravo GMMTV!

A powerful and confident first episode
The casting is honestly perfect. Every actor fits their role so naturally that it feels less like acting and more like watching real people unfold. The leads deliver layered performances, especially in the quiet moments where a look or a pause says more than dialogue ever could. The chemistry feels effortless and real, not forced for the sake of the genre.The music deserves special praise. The soundtrack elevates every emotional beat and stays with you even after the episode ends. It knows when to be subtle and when to hit hard, making key scenes even more unforgettable. So far, it’s a very strong start and absolutely deserving of a high rating. I’m already looking forward to the next episodes. I love FirstKhaotungs acting so much I have no words to describe their acting.🫶✨️
