Warm and Cutesy
Cat For Cash sat third from the bottom of my GMMTV 2025 anticipation list. As the formula goes with GMMTV series, this felt like hitting the jackpot in the beginning, then fell short by the end.
Let's Dive In.
This was a refreshing lane change for FirstKhaotung. Most of what they've brought in the past is brooding and hurt, and while there is a smidge of that here, it's mostly smiles and giggles and talking cat. Of course, as with any FirstKhaotung series, they do perfectly fine and perfectly brilliant in the chemistry department. The yearn was nicely top with a tad bit of jealously and angst, and it's the peak of the series.
Satang felt perfectly cast. I can't believe they'd somewhat give us WinnySatang in this after their split. Sigh, and I could've really use a series of Winny in glasses.
Great looked phenomenal here. He was fine in his role, but "blah, blah, blah, proper names, place name, backstory stuff."
What surprised me most was how nicely the episodic structure worked, especially early on. With such a simple premise, I wondered how they would stretch the material, but the show handled it better than expected. It still dragged in places, just not in the way I initially feared.
Overall: fluffy (literally), cutesy, and Great-in-glasses. The formula to a perfectly fine BL series. I will probably forget that I watched this a year from now, but it brought me enough satisfaction in the end.
Ratings:
Story: 8/10 - Cute ! I don't care for cats, and this show didn't change my mind on that, lol. I think the talking part was a bit cringe, but nothing terrible.
Acting: 8.5/10 - FirstKhaotung don't have the capacity to do bad. Satang stole the show for me. Great looked GREAT.
Music: 5/10 - Was fine, didn't distract.
Recommendation Value: 5/10 - ehhh. It's a skip honestly. Unless you're a big fan of FK or want something nice and fluffy.
