People need to stop comparing this to the original manga or even the Japanese drama that followed after that - it is true, that this movie has made some major changes and cuts BUT (to come to the real important point) nevertheless the movie is not a good but an outstanding one!

The storyline is built up very nicely, the actors are awesome (especially the female lead!) and somehow they were able to mix drama, comedy and lovestory in a pleasant way - it's not too much or too less from everything. It's a good and well-balanced movie who deserves recognition beyond the original. I have to confess that I liked this interpretation much more.

I'm going that far and insist that this movie is not based on the Japanese original but is inspired by it- that sounds so much more precise and may be able to change your expectations (and prejudices) on that movie.

Definitely a must watch!

Cheers,

This movie isn't bad: it's scandalous.
I am currently punishing myself for having surrendered to curiosity and approached it in a moment of bad impulse. It doesn't help that I had nothing better to do, because it managed to turn me from lazily content to furious.

The plot is a butchery of the original story. What they have done is take a very uncommon, extra-ordinary, even controversial plot and randomly cut it like Edward Scissorhands gone completely mad.
Let's have a look at who those characters should be - in the mind of the Japanese author: Sumire is a cold, measured, prim career woman who's incapable of opening to anyone. Her loneliness is so much a choice as it is her condemnation. Momo is a young man with talent who stopped loving himself, all instinct and childlike/petlike sweetness. The encounter of these two world-apart people is indeed that of a owner and her pet, while the epilogue is the growth of both as people. Kimi Wa Petto explained why and how Momo is the only one capable of drawing out Sumire's need to give love and why Sumire's the perfect choice to make him finally reconcile with who he is.

This movie takes out every trace of insightful characterization and leaves us with a badly edited huge fluff. It makes those who have seen the drama - like me - bitterly disappointed and those who haven't puzzled, when not disturbed by the concept of a barfing man.
The cast does not save the day. I wonder if they have taken the time to read the manga, or watch the drama to at least understand who these characters are. Perhaps it isn't fair to ascribe this to the actors, but I couldn't help comparing the sober elegance of Koyuki with the frilly style - so out of character - of Kim Ha Neul. And while Matsujun was a very convincing pet, Jang Geun Suk is an embarrassing pantomime of one. The dance is the icing on the cake: the beautiful, well danced modern ballet in KWP morphed here into a crazy grass-hopping. Hugh.

In conclusion, I recommend this movie to nobody. read more

Worth watching for JGS and that's pretty much it. The Japanese drama is definitely better.

I really wanted to like this being big fans of Kimi wa Petto and JGS both, but found the only reason I could follow the story was because I knew what was going to happen. There's just too much story to fit into such a small amount of time.

Though parts of this were funny, for me the best part of the whole thing where the clips that ran durring the credits. The rest was not nearly as good for me as I had hoped.

The drama was pretty much closer to the manga, for 1 it's a drama so there are more chances to likened it to the manga itself. The actors were good too; Kato Koyuki and Matsumoto Jun portrayed their roles well. There were only times thatsome episodes were somewhat dry, but its closer to the manga than the movie.

I loved the movie! For someone who's read the manga and watched the drama, you can really tell the difference. But that's the beauty of adaptation. Jang Geun Suk and Kim Ha Neul were so adorable, and they gave the story a lighthearted touch. It was more or less the summary of the manga in its own right.

It's quite an interesting situation if you think about it. The first time I found the manga, I didn't put much attention to it. But after finding out that JGS was starring as Momo for the Korean adaptation of the manga, made me change my mind.

The manga, although at first it didn't spark my interest was actually pretty good, although there are times that it kinda dragged off, but overall it was a good read.

Wow I loved this. I didn't expect to from some of the reviews I saw. But Kimi wa Petto + Jang Geun Suk? Two of my favorite things. I like that this was different from the drama. I honestly had no trouble differentiating between the two. This is great if you just want a fun, silly movie to sit back and enjoy/you want to stare at Jang Geun Suk for two hours.

To be honest, I strongly disliked the japanese drama, Kimi wa Petto, but since this movie has Jang Geun Seok in it, I'm hoping it's good.

It was cute..JGS is a talented actor as ever.I think he can pull of any type of roles. I also like his current look, isn't his normal hair curly?! If not, he sure convinced me.
