Kmovie: You are my pet (2011)

Rating: 3/6
I wish it had the depth of the drama-version :/

Plot: Eun-Yi is a editor for a fashion magazine, who doesn't get along well with her colleagues.
In-Ho(Jang Keun-Suk) is a dancer, who wishes to become a musical choreographer. He needs a place to stay, and Eun-Yis brother offers him to stay in her house. He pays the brother money for rent, but Eun-Yi is only told they would be staying temporarily. When the brother leaves, she wants to throw In-Ho out of the house, but he reminds her of a dog she used to have, and she lets him stay as a pet. And that's where the complications start.

I really liked the Japanese drama version of this, so when I heard there would be a korean movie version, I was thrilled. But when I finally saw the movie, it wasn't anything special.


Trailer:




In both versions, you have this kind of happy-go-lucky guy who is taken care of by a cold business-woman, and some romance stuff. The difference is the way it's done.

In this movie, they get closer, with complications and funny moments, but in the drama you also have things happening on the inside, like inner conflicts, uncertainties and sadness.
I know dramaseries have a great deal more time on their hands, so you
Picture from the Japanese drama
could expect there to be less depth in a movie, but you can still have time for characters in three dimentions. It just didn't seem real.

Maybe I just like more emo stuff, but i can't help it. It's bothering me><
I can't come up with a long list of other concrete negative things about it though, so if you want a light funny romance movie, this might be straight up your alley.
But with my subjective opinion, it was just not up mineXD
Jang Keun-Suk was much better than Matsumoto Jun though(who's kind of annoying), so that helped a bit >)



The movie can actually currently be found on youtube:

I don't know where else to find it though.. So when it's removed you might actually have to pay for it:O

But I recommend the Japanese one! ><..this fantrailer has spoilers though, and French subtitles, so watch out!
