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.
