Reviews

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.

Kimi wa Petto is a drama based on the original manga written by the Mangaka Yayoi Okawa. An unique story who takes place in the world of a Business woman's life. You're My Pet is an alternate movie version based on the actual drama already being displayed earlier with Matsumoto Jun in the lead role as momo.

Replacing Matsumoto, Jang Keun Suk takes on the role of the boy who has a sparkling career ahead of him. In Ho is a boy who spends most of his time reaching for his dream. A dancer who wishes to advance to perform in musicals sometimes in the future. Not really having somewhere to live and always ending up having to sleep on the hard wooden floor in the dance studio he manages to fix up an agreement with a buddy of his. He'll take his place as a cleaning lady for a woman who seems to have way to little time on her hands.
Meanwhile, Ji Eun is a woman of unusual status both with height and career. Everything seems to be working out succesfully for her, Except one thing. She Can't seem to find a man who can accept her for the person she is. Not a man who can live up to her standards atleast.. Constantly being let down with guys she decides she wants to get a pet. A Dog that will welcome her when she arrives home from work, A playful dog who'll appreciate all her hard work. In Ho moves in to her apartment and takes the place of his friend with one condition. He has to become her ''Pet..'' Then, She'll do the cleaning herself.. Only becoming a pet won't be enough though.. He has to give up on all human things, Especially sexually. Agreeing to this agreement, A hard road ahead awaits them both as love shows up in the most unexpected place.. A Romance between a Girl and a Boy. Will their Master and Pet relationship come in the way of the romance happening?.. Will the secret about Ji Eun's pet being a human, be revealed?

I really liked this movie.. I actually really didn't have that much expectations to this story atall.. I saw the actual drama a couple of months ago, And I liked it.. But it didn't make my top 5 dramalist.. This movie made my favorite list unexpectedly.
The Rewatch value is plenty high, I actually feel like rewatching it again right now, Despite of just having completed it. The musically score and soundtrack were really good with performances from Keun-Suk himself inserted into the story.

This Movie is a must watch for sure, Especially recommended for rom-com lovers, And fans of the Kimi wa Petto drama..

If you've read the manga you might be a little disappointed with this theatrical version. If you haven't read the manga (or read it and want to watch this anyway) then you definitely should watch it. The romance is so beautiful and their struggles are so difficult that you can't help but scream at them.
The acting is absolutely incredible, the story is heart wrenching, and above all the story is believable.
If you're not sure if this movie is for you watch the first 10 minutes. By the time the 10 minute mark rolls by I think you will realize how touching this movie will be. :)

I am speechless. I can't even express how I feel. This whole movie was a mind game, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. So many events, so many lives, but one purpose. I wish to write something as dark and meaningful like this someday.

I doubted that I would like this movie at first. The dialogue in the first scene was long. But I came to understand it was important. I don't regret the stubbornness I had to sit through that particular scene. Then came the confessions. Just...wow! What a brilliant scheme! This was a really clever one.

The music was very good and it achieved the desired effect. Even added an artistic tinge.

The characters were very well portrayed. I even sympathized with the worst of them (psycho kid). Had a conflicting sense of hating the things he did and feeling sorry for his situation.

I hold great admiration to the writer of this movie. Thank you, this actually had everything I ever wanted to see in a movie. It leaves a deep impression that I won't be able to shake off anytime soon.

just a quick rage review... (this is for those who have watched the two former versions of GOTFF)

i will make a more believable review soon..

1. from my ultra POV, this is an uber lame attempt to capture or remake the intensity of the story that showed by the ghibli movie.

2. very pathetic movie... the actors doesnt make an effort in doing their best and they looks like they are just reciting the script.

3. the tv special of GOTFF is more movie like than this film

4. Im sorry for those who gave this version a 10/10...

5. feel free to object and i think i will get "not helpful"

ps: my favorite scene in the original were borifying epicfailness on this.
