You're My Pet (2011)

Going into this movie I kept telling myself that I wouldn't compare it to the drama, and that was actually pretty easily done. If you are a huge fan of the Japanese drama, you will not like this, unless your like me.

The story, is not original, seeings how its been done before, however its not like the drama either. I liked the movie because, it was lighthearted, and I was in major need of the fluffiness of it. It's upbeat, and not to serious.

Chemistry wise, could have been better. JGS was very adorkable in his role as Momo. You don't actually believe he is a pet, but you can see the cute qualities of a pet in him. He maintained his pride as a man, while being what she needed.

For "Momo" to supposedly be a dancer, I was very disappointed. There wasn't enough dancing. And, the music seemed sub-par to me.

I would re-watch this, if after a spat of really sad melodrama's, I need a pick-me-up.

Overall, not a bad movie, but not a great one either.

I had already seen the Japanese version and read the manga(kimi wa petto) and loved them, so I had very high hopes for the Korean version. On top of that Jang Geun Seok was the main actor, so I was very excited to see it.

After watching this movie I was very disappointed. The story line was very weak and felt rushed. By the end of the movie it felt like I had missed most of the story.This would have been great as a drama because the story would have had more time to develop.

If you haven't seen the jdrama version or read the manga you might enjoy this. The story is really unique and interesting and this version was cute and funny. Even though I won't rewatch this movie I defiantly think it at least worth giving it a try.
