Fluffy asf, but lowkey a snooze fest
Oh my god i finally managed to finish this show, like it genuinely took away ten years of my life for how slow it was overall going. Listen: was it a bad show? No. Was it boring? Hell yes. Boring to the point where i was about to drop it and just start something else, but unfortunately i planned to watch all of gmmtv 2025 queer show beginning to end (unless highly unbearable) so here we are.
I wanna start by ting what i liked:
- finally a Firstkhao show that didn’t involve my complete breakdown. It was not immune to tears and funerals, but at the very least it was pretty lighthearted, and it was pretty much needed after all of their previous show. I liked how fluffy and comforting it was.
- The mothers were all amazing and incredibly diva character. I liked all of the woman existing in th shows, and Lynx mother was my fa the best, most layered and most realistic one in the bunch. Might have come off as evil to someone but i lowkey understood her beginning to end. Go diva.
- THE PARALLELISM; i just know that the author kept making parallelism left and right, between every character in any way they could, but I honestly loved how the story of the humans reflected what was happening in the cat world, as if everyone had their corrispettive in the animal world. Pretty cute indeed
The plot is pretty cute, but it’s short, slightly confusing , there are some questionable writing choices and there are some plot-hole, that while not being detrimental to the show, left me confused for a second. Now let’s go bit by bit:
- The plot did NOT need 10 episodes. Cat for cash could have been very much a 5/6 episodes show and it would have been able to not delete a single of the themes showed in the original. There are so many fillers moment and oh my god how slow some scenes are.
- All the plot lines were introduced in such a way where u would just not understand anything after episode one. It’s literally just the story of Lynx, who, after his mom died takes the Mom cat shop in order to pay back the debt that she collected over the years. Tigger is the one that actually has to collects the money, but since he is a cat lover he basically starts hanging around and eventually they fall in love and blah blah blah. You had to had the trauma of lynx, the trauma of the mother, the grandpa, he discovered he had a brother, had his trauma too.. basically there where a lot of storyline that were just colliding but not in a nice, neat way, were everything is explained either in advance or intelligently. NO. In a messy way when every once in a while you discover something new that is somehow both important and irrelevant to the story. Idk, i really thought they could have handled every single of those topics waay better.
- There are some small plot wholes that kept bugging me beginning to end of the show: why tf they be saying that tiger was allergic to cat when he did not have a single reaction to cat like not the slight Les even being extremely close to them like that. I’m saying this as a fellow girl with an allergy to cat, you would have found dead after one day from like tight throat, crying eyes and sneezing uncontrollably. That man in not that allergic, why even making it a point? Another thing that i think i am pretty much the only one who even noticed it is, HOW OLD ARE THOSE CHARACTERS? When grandma ju met both of them when they were young they looked both pretty young and they both looked the same age. It’s said tho that Tiger is 30.. so Lynx and Leo a both 30? I though Leo was around UNI age? Maybe i lost some parts? And then again how old was grandma ju? Like 20? Do cats even live that long?
- There are some writing choices that lowkey left me speechless. Listen, i understand hat this is supposed to be a fluffy show, but how tf am i supposed to believe that a loan shark, and a dangerous man like Tiger and all his family are such cuties patooties? Could we please make it a little more realistic?
And now onto the writing choices that made me mad the most: where tf is the romance in this show??? Like ok, it was way more than just a love story, but around episode five it felt like the focus had shifted from the love story to whatever was happening in the world around them. I expected way more romance, especially in the last episode.If we count that they had one couple to care about and a lot of time on their hands it feels like them and their romance underdeveloped.
Now, onto the actors;
They lowkey chose a casting full of talented people, that’s not up to debate, Maybe they chose TOO good, cause sometimes it felt like they were way beyond the character they were portraying. It’s true, they are made specifically for complex character (and i mean Lynx to a certain degree was) but like there were some moments were i thought their acting was surpassing the character. Beside that, like both did an amazing job, WinnySatang mentioned (don’t mention them to me i am still not over them) Great is good and extremely handsome, all the family members were full of great actors. Cast approved.
The directing department have some adjustment to make. The frontal shots were good when they were tying to bond and like blinking like you are supposed to do with cats or whatever. No. they completely abused of that technique, using it in moments when it was so not necessary ad just a normal shots could have been just fine. I did not expect anything else from like coloring or aesthetic, I’m pretty happy with what we got, even if it was like the bare minimum to make everything look ugly. Let’s say it was waaaay better when they shot inside compared to when they shot outside, that is by much clear, but we can’t really expect anything much from what i am 90% positive was the cheapest production of 2025 (i just know ggmtv gave them the lowest budget)
Would i rewatch it? No. It’s way to boring and even the romantic moments are so non existent that like what am i even supposed to rewatch? Nothing. But like if u want a very light show to keep u company before u go to sleep try this one out.
PS: i cannot fucking believe they managed to make them fucking sing even on a show about cats. TWICE.
