Cat War (2025)

Who gets the Cat?

I honestly enjoyed this a lot. Even though it’s only around an hour long, it manages to tell a story that feels both unique and engaging from start to finish. The plot is about a married couple who have been together for five years but are now deciding to get divorced. The twist is that their biggest conflict isn’t about property or money, but about who gets “custody” of their cat, who they both see as their child. It’s such a fun premise, but it also carries a surprising amount of heart.

The production overall is quite good, simple but fitting for the story. What really makes it shine though are the performances. Seeing Kim Seul gi and Kim Doo joon back together after "Splash Splash Love" was such a highlight for me. Their chemistry feels different this time around, given the situation their characters are in, but it’s still just as strong and makes both sides of the conflict understandable. And of course, I have to mention the cat, he was absolutely adorable and brought so much warmth and charm to the drama.

What I liked most is that the show balances humor and emotion really well. It never feels too heavy, but at the same time it isn’t just light fluff either. By the end, it left me feeling satisfied, which isn’t easy for a short format drama to pull off.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend The Catstody War. It’s short, heartfelt, unique, and just genuinely enjoyable. If you want something fun that still has depth, this little gem is worth your time.

More Than Just a Cat: A Story of Love, Loss, and Realization

At first glance, the drama appears to center on something as simple as the custody of a cat. But beneath that surface lies a much deeper, more emotional narrative,one about a couple navigating the pain of separation and divorce. What truly drives their relationship apart isn't just the challenges of infertility, but their inability to communicate, to express vulnerability, and to confront their struggles together.

Both partners suppress their emotions for so long that, when they finally erupt, it's in a way that leaves their relationship fractured. The divorce feels like the inevitable outcome of two people growing distant while silently carrying the weight of unspoken pain.

Ironically, it's the dispute over who "deserves" to keep the cat that becomes a turning point. This seemingly trivial conflict forces them to reflect—not just on their shared memories, but on the deeper issues that led them to this point. Through this journey, they begin to understand their own roles in the breakdown of the relationship, revealing that the story was never just about the cat—it was about everything they couldn’t say to each other.
