Sweet, funny, and full of heart
Kimi wa Petto is one of those dramas that just makes you feel good. The story is so unique and weird on paper — a woman keeping a younger man as her “pet” — but somehow it works beautifully. Sumire is such a relatable character — smart, independent, successful, but also lonely and exhausted by the world’s expectations. And Momo is honestly the sweetest comfort character ever♡ Their bond is so pure but layered with so much unspoken affection and need.
The chemistry between the leads is amazing. Their moments together feel warm, natural, and sometimes almost too soft in a way that made my heart ache. The slow build of their relationship was satisfying, watching them slowly realize they meant more to each other than either wanted to admit. The humor, the little jealous moments, the silent support — it all felt so real and tender.
The only reason I’m giving it 9 stars instead of 10 is because I was really waiting for a more intimate scene between the main characters. After everything they went through, it felt like the story deserved one moment of real physical closeness, just to seal everything they'd built together. I wanted that final emotional and physical payoff, but the drama chose to stay more reserved.
Still, Kimi Wa Petto is a beautiful, soft, and healing story about love, companionship, and learning to let someone see your real self.
