Although I do not give it a perfect score as the story is a bit predictable, it's actually worth 9.5/10 for sure. First, Matsujun's performance is astonishing. He's once again proved how good of an actor he became over the years, and also his dancing abilities are quite amazing. Koyuki is also as good as she always is.
One of the main reason for my high note (without it being too much of a spoiler) is the kissing scene. Not only do they let Jun kiss (knowing that it's usually rare for Johnny's Juniors to have kissing scenes) but it's one of the first drama I've seen where it actually looks like a real kiss and not only lips touching. Anyways.. this drama got chills down my spine and I really recommend it. | | Reviewed by Nermal on 1 March 2004 | | 8. | It will surprise you. [Rating: 10/10]
When I first heard of the drama, I thought it must have been the most hentai dorama plot ever. I STILL think it's the silliest thing I have ever watched, but I now love it to bits! I must say, the drama really grows on you, although I have never been a fan of Koyuki, her character, Sumire, will leave a big impact on you.
Kimi wa Petto is a story of how a woman learns that one must allow herself to exhibit her true self before love can find them. It is inspirational and moving, and even though I didn't cry thru this like other carthartic doramas, it always kept me on the verge of tears.
The casting is excellent. Koyuki was charming, and I must say, she is indeed an excellent actress. Jun was very winning as Momo, he really did look like a dog so much when he was lying on the floor and wagging his limbs in the air! He is just too adorable! I challenge everyone to watch this and not fall in love with Matsumoto Jun! Quite a lot of people commented on his dancing, but frankly, I don't think I saw enough of it to convince me he was truely passionate about his dancing.
And the CHEMISTRY! Wah, you'll find yourself pining for the moment when Sumire and Momo get together for the whole length of the drama! Yes! It really gets you THAT involved! So those of you who are thinking you're going to give this drama a pass because it sounds so stupid. DON'T! It is truly an excellent drama, and I assure you, you will be pleasantly surprised. | | Reviewed by nagaioyasumi on 4 April 2004 | | 9. | okaeri, sumire-chan..! [Rating: 8/10]
i fell in love with matsujun all over again.. this time because he's so cute as momo..! a drama with an interesting plot.. as i watched, i was touched at how far momo would go just to get sumire-chan's attention.. just like what a pet would be like.. koyuki-san is beautiful, as usual.. but this time, her acting skills really shown itself.. not much development on the other cast (it's a love story after all).. but eita, ishihara satomi did well.. i loved yamashita shinji and watanabe ikkei's acting.. they really made me laugh.. but the star of the show, momo ne.. matsujun brought out goda takeshi's character really well.. though it does seem a bit wierd for a woman to keep a pet.. i was still touched by momo's thoughtfulness.. though sumire and hasumi should have married though.. and kept momo as their pet.. =P | | Reviewed by arashinokoto on 24 May 2004 | | 10. | Go Koyuki~ [Rating: 9/10]

A very overated show, i really fail to see how this show is rated so highly.
A show about an emotinally insecure woman who adopts a human pet because she has difficulty relating to other people is an interesting if not far fetched idea (no pun intended ^_^)
Getting use to the whole idea of a human pet takes some getting use to but that isn't whats wrong with this show. The script at best is average, as its never comes together well enough to reach its desired effect.
The acting in the show was on the most part average, with the exception of Koyuki, who 's performance was excellent throughout, and who i felt held the show together.
overall i would not recommend this show unless you are a koyuki or jun fan.

I really enjoyed watching this drama, mostly because I loved the story to begin with. I read (and am still reading) the manga which this was based on. I was really happy that the drama turned out so good. The character choice for this series was just excellent. I adored Koyuki and Matsumoto Jun the most. He's so different than when he was in Gokusen. I highly recommend this! | | Reviewed by aoi_hana on 10 February 2005 | | 23. | I just love it... even knowing that it may not be [Rating: 10/10]
Though I had tried to watch GTO before that, Kimi wa Petto was the first dorama I watched up to the end and that got me interested in Japanese tv-series.
Well, it's a bit difficult to talk about Kimi wa Petto. I understand pretty well, that it's not quite a masterpiece, that the plot may seem a bit unbelievable, that some people may criticize the actors. But... I still LOVE it. It's funny, touching and optimistic. It may not be very serious, but after every episode of the show you can't wait to watch the next one, and you are always in hight spirits.
So, it's one of those series, that just make you REALLY enjoy them, that touch some strings in your heart. And you don't really care, if this show is considered to be "high-quality tv-product" or not.
This is my peronal favourite dorama. | | Reviewed by Asja on 14 February 2005 | | 24. | Lame Story. [Rating: 3/10]
What can i say. To me, this an overrated drama. The story is so lame and i still don't understand why everyone like this drama. Don't get me wrong, matsumoto jun, koyuki and even the supporting cast is a great actor but the story itself make it unwatchable.
Through the series i was waiting to see some great punch line like other Japanese drama but it never happens. I was hoping that m.jun will say something like "I'm not a pet, I'm a human. I do have a feeling and i do have my own dream. So please treat me like human." But it never happen. Man, how can u accept being a pet and leave ur own dream because of it? It is sad to see matsumoto jun acting as a man with no dignity. He is much better in Gokusen.
Anyway, it just my opinion. Give it a try, maybe u will like it. But to me, this drama really dissappoint me. No good punch line, and the plot is weak. 3/10 | | Reviewed by rdoll on 18 February 2005 | | 25. | unbearable to watch [Rating: 3/10]
i must say that i'm a little bit suprised to see so many good reviews written for this drama but then i realized that most of them are talking about matsumoto jun or koyuki, not the drama itself.
there's only one discernible categorization for this drama - "Typical Shojo". Not so suprising since it is based on a shojo manga.
i guess the only saving grace for this drama is the good performance from most of the cast. for me, if the actors can make me hate them on screen, they're good and frankly, both matsujun and koyuki wasted their talent on this drama by playing characters that have no dignity as a human being and continues to degrade themselves episode after episode by playing a pet who wants sex, and a human that thinks of another human as a pet, even though she has been continually reminded that the pet is in fact, human. in overall, the plot is weak, unrealistic and incredibly annoying. I have to force myself to watch it from the beginning to the end just so i can give it a fair judgement and i was secretly hoping that the plot will turn itself around and at least it all would be worthwhile but it didn't and in the end, i have to say that this is the worst japanese drama i have ever seen. i gave it a three for performance. this drama deserves a rating of zero.

The story was a bit absurd, but that's what drew my attention to this drama. In contrast to the crazy story, the characters were much more believable and left me feeling like I could really relate to their feelings.
Koyuki does an incredible job of making a successful, bright, strong career woman into a soft and confused human being. And Momo (played by Matsumoto Jun) is just adorable enough to melt your heart! All the actors were well chosen, and I loved the dialogue and delivery. It could make you laugh, sigh, and burst into tears in a single scene!
There were a few things people might not like about the show though. For one, the phychologist with a chihuahua was amusing at times, but spelled situations out almost too clearly, making the characters seem incapable of figuring out their problems for themselves. (It kind of insults the viewers intelligence too.) Also, some of the side characters and their stereotypical roles made the story far too predictable at times.
Still, overall, I think any weakness of the show was far overshadowed by great characters and excellent actors who played their roles perfectly. This is deffinately worth watching! | | Reviewed by ChiByakko on 10 May 2005 | | 29. | Great Love Relationship Drama! [Rating: 8/10]

The natural talent and grace of Koyuki were the only things that could hold together this weak plotline. Kyozo Nagatsuka also put in a good performance as an amusing and irregular psychiatrist. In fact, the drama does not suffer from lack of memorable individual performances.
The problem was the plot. The storyline - about a top notch ballet dancer who becomes someone's pet - is difficult to swallow from the start. Lacking a feasible context, the actions of the characters make little sense throughout the entire story.
Frankly, I am amazed to see the number of positive reviews of this series. I guess it can be gleaned from individual performances, many of which were interesting and memorable. They were interesting enough to keep my attention through the end, but no performance, however strong, can compensate for the lack of a good plot. | | Reviewed by syncbyte on 2 October 2005 | | 36. | AWESOME!!! and KAWAII!!!

The manga, I thought at first, was silly, weird and unbelievable. A young ballet dancer being the pet 'dog' of a career woman seemed hard to swallow. Yes, it is quite a silly story, but I found it to be a beautiful silly story. In this drama, you will learn the importance of being genuine amidst the person you love most, and the warmth that only a 'pet' can give you. The drama was enjoyable for me, most probably because of the relationship of Sumire and Momo and how it develops through the series.
Koyuki was lovely in this drama. I agree with those who said that she suited the role of Sumire, and her acting is indeed believable. She is a very beautiful actress, and her talent will get her far. I fell in love with Matsumoto Jun in this drama. He was adorable as Momo, and I believe no other could have played the part. He was absolutely great in this one!

But it gets an 8 because, although I said above, this story is original, the kind of I´ve never seen or I could have imagine it before. The drama manages to make you feel involved with every episode of it, due to the great chemistry between the main characters - Koyuki and Matsumoto Jun, and their good perfomances on it.
Because of these factors, I almost believed that a kind of relationship like their´s could be true and even I ended up liking it!!!
That´s why Kimi wa Petto deserves an 8. It´s enjoyable, it´s cute, it´s funny and I´m sure you´re going to entertain yourself with this drama.

Proceeded watching, and I liked the second episode a little better. By the end of the third, the show had already succeeded in charming the socks off me, and I skipped sleep on two consecutive nights just to see everything through to the end!

Matsumoto Jun was superb in this light-hearted series. As the hyperactive, funny, and cute "Momo," he played a perfect compliment to Koyuki's serious, beautiful, but wounded Sumire. Koyuki, to me, is such an elegant and natural actress, and I hope to see her in more leading roles where this side of her is exploited. I admit that I don't think much of Matsumoto as a singer, but I think that he has the potential to be a really superb actor. I look forward to all of his future projects.

I give KwP a 9 for the same reason some people gave it a 3.
I agree that the plotline is really hard to swallow and fairly unreasonable and far-fetched. I understand how unbearable it must be to watch someone be degraded so willingly; and for the other party to do it with such nonchalance and even eagerness at times. In its entirety, the story goes against society's social and moral standards, and what's worse, it uses 'love' as its excuse.
For that reason, some of you despise it. For me, that is what gives this story a distinction among other shoujo stories.
Both in drama and manga, I thought the characters were very well-developed. Sumire-chan and Momo are lonely people who enter this absurd relationship of master-pet. But when you look at it closely, it goes so much deeper than that. The mutual need that exists between the two is what makes this story alive.
In Sumire-chan, Takeshi can drop all and still be needed, still be useful. In Takeshi, Sumire-chan can be dominant, rude, weak, spiteful and be in tears without the consequence and pressure of being "perfect" as is the case in her life at the outside world. In her he found a home; in him, she found herself.
If you look at it as that, and not look so much into the dog/master thing, I think you would appreciate this story more. I've always looked at it as that metaphor, so for me it's easier to stomach. And really, it almost makes me wistful too. When giggly Jun-fangirls keep saying, "I wish I had a dog like Junjun," I completely empathize. Not because Jun is good-looking and accomplished as an actor, but because deep inside we are all rooting for that person that will need us as much as we need them; or if I may be so bold, even love us as equally as we love them. Despite all ironies and nonconformities.
It really is an eye-opening drama, so give it a go, and look at it this way for a change. | | Reviewed by myami on 22 August 2006 | | 52. | Sick and boring... [Rating: 1/10]

when i first heard abt this drama, tht a highly educated girl 'adopts' a pet, i was kinda like 'what? tht's weird'. but anyways, i gv it a try cause im a fan of MatsuJun. it turn out unexpectedly good. although, some ppl might find this drama SUPER weird, due to the fact tht how could a man being treat as a pet. however, for me, this drama is very inspiring. it shows tht talent and inteligence isnt everything. one needs to hv another's love in order to survive, no matter how great you are. this drama, is no doubt a 'pure shoujo' drama, (cause it's based on a shoujo manga anyways), but it was filled with heart-warming and full of values scenes. i highly recommend it for shoujo lovers! | | Reviewed by xinyi on 19 December 2006 | | 58. | Strange.

Bakero.
I, technically, do not want to start a fight... But then, having been able to read the oh-so-baka reviews of the people who are oh-so-pissed-off with this series made me itching mad to the point that I am actually writing a review in defense of Kimi wa Petto.
I haven't watched the series, and I admit that I love Matsu-kun. Nonetheless, these truths have no connection with what I have to say.
I wonder why there are people who despise it so much yet they keep on watching it and also have the heart to find this topic in this forum just to make a sickening review. It is candid stupidity.
Such a kind of foolishness is rare, nonetheless, there are people who agree to participate and such - thus making themselves look stupid all the more.
@ gqstyle09 ... how can you insult Matsu-kun just like that? Are you an actor or what? Who cares if you are anyway? At the least Jun was kawaii, and you - technically, are annoying. That's the big difference between the two of you.
@ whoever-this-person-is-for-I-have-forgotten-his-forgettable-name ... (as far as I'm concerned, he said that he's sick of watching the series) ... I wonder... why do you still watch it and give effort to make a stupid review?
Argh. Bakero.

Kimi wa Petto is obviously Shoujo: targeted for girls. I'd imagine most girl would appeal to this drama! Personally, I loved it. Though the plot is "ridiculous", as in suddenly asking a random boy to stay over, I find the relationship they have created, UNIQUE, SPECIAL and kind of TOUCHING really, it is not entirely "nonsense"... if u watch the drama, through the psychiatrist's advises, you will start to understand the drama---like I have! And for those claiming that this is totally unbelievable, please consider that not all dramas are movies are meant to recreate real life, it is the imagination of the authors and i thought that a change-something not possible in reallife-is refreshing and interesting!

Kimi wa Petto has a concept that's almost fatally silly from the start: what happens when a good-looking guy (Jun Matsumoto) offers to become a busy career woman's (Sumire) dog?
It's preposterous, which is okay, but Sumire - called "Noh Mask" here - doesn't have the chops to render the comedy with the drama. Once we get past the unique concept, it falls into a predictable pattern. Matsumoto shows some skillful work; apparently for some, he's enough to make it work. I didn't buy it. | | Reviewed by jdoramadotcom on 29 March 2008 | | 70. | Contraversial [Rating: 6/10]
Reading the reviews and the comments, I must say that this show has certainly achieved what it probably set out to do: create controversy. The whole idea of a human adopting a human pet is, after all, difficult to accept; it goes too far beyond social norms. I'm all for unconventional plotlines, but this is a tad too difficult for me to stomach. Despite wholly understanding and sympathizing with the loneliness that brought both Sumire and Momo together in this strange and uneasy relationship - I still can't accept it.
Storyline aside, the acting was very good, especially Koyuki and Matsumoto Jun, who were obviously playing two-sided characters (hard Sumire vs sensitive Sumire; Momo vs Takeshi). But it was really the dancing that did it for me - it was breathtaking watching MatsuJun leap and bound effortlessly over the screen. If only there was more of it.
Overall - it was memorable because of its unconventional storyline, but that was also its down point in my case. I found it very disturbing how a human would submit himself willingly as another human's pet, even with all the loneliness that is in him. I think it takes a different sort of person to throughly enjoy this series. | | Reviewed by Limes on 18 May 2008 | | 71. | My Favorite Jdorama [Rating: 10/10]
This was my first ever drama with Jun in it. And I loved it. The story is romantic, funny, heart warming, and beautiful at the same time. One of the reasons I loved it so much was Jun's character "Momo" and how he struck a chord with the woman and made her realize her vulnerability. | | Reviewed by hello2ume on 10 July 2008 | | 72. | tl;dr to the EXTREME [Rating: 9/10]
Okay, reading through some of these reviews, I can't help but feel a little bit defensive. I downloaded this drama with absolutely zero fangirling of any of the actors (yes, even of Matsumoto Jun), and zero expectations one way or the other. And what I got was one of the few Dramas since Hana Yori Dango that I just couldn't. Stop. Watching.
Firstly, I really, really identified with Sumire. Sure, I'm not a Japanese business professional, but she and I have many of the same emotional reservations, so I commiserated with her struggle.
Secondly, I really loved how the series dealt realistically with the pervasive misogyny in Japanese society, and all the shit that Sumire had to deal with simply because she had a uterus and boobs. Some of the most heart-wrenching moments of the series for me were Sumire's frustrations at being envied for her success, and at being disregarded and ridiculed in spite of her talents and hard work.
Thridly, I find it kind of ridiculous that anybody is watching JDrama, or any drama for that matter, expecting realism. Yes, the plot is unlikely, but no more unlikely than a commoner attending an elite school for the rich, and having the RICHEST guy there fall in love with her; no more unbelievable than a math teacher from a family of yakuza deciding to personally deal with the troubles of her delinquent students. What makes this Drama stand out for me was that it actually didn't stretch my willing suspension of disbelief, because the characterization was strong. I could *believe* that Takeshi would willingly become somebody's pet, I could *believe* that Sumire might just be desperate enough to ask him to become one. Then again, I'm a fan of unconventional romances, so the premise of the series doesn't squick me at all. Especially after all the development that the relationship undergoes over the course of ten episodes. And that was the biggest pro about this series, for me at least: The characters were fully fleshed out, and they underwent subtle and believable development -- something that many shoujo-esque romances lack.
Lastly, I found its commentary on love and relationships absolutely fascinating, whether I agree with all of its moral assertions or not. It actually made me *think*, which is something that I personally look for in the shows that I watch.
All in all, I would say that this is not a Drama that everyone will enjoy (and, judging from the other reviews on this website, my assessment is correct). It deals with subjects that may make some feel uncomfortable, it relies on character interaction for the vast majority of its conflict (meaning that there's very little in the way of 'action'), and the main premise of the series may in and of itself be too overblown (though, in my opinion, no more overblown than 99% of JDrama romances) for some viewers to stomach. But I strongly recommend that you give it a try, because you may very well love it as much as I did. | | Reviewed by amarielah on 14 October 2008 | | 73. | possibly the worst drama ever [Rating: 1/10]
Where to begin!? the plot was idiotic, boring and the main characters were completely pathetic and as someone else put it, made you want to beat the shit out of them. This is the first thing I've seen koyuki in and frankly i thought she sucked. As for matsumoto PUKE; he's a terrible actor, he's hideous, and he should never disgrace tv with his sickening face ever again. In Japan i couldn't even stand to see him in commercials let alone watch him in a whole hour of crappy drama. The only redeeming quality of this drama is that Eita is in it, if only as a minor character (Junpei). Please don't waste your time on this drama. It was so stupid that halfway thru episode 5, I had to skip to the last one, hoping that the ending might somehow save the show but instead I could only bare to watch 25 minutes and threw out the entire drama. People keep saying that it's only good if you're a girl, but guess what? I'm a girl, and it's horrible. The only reason people seem to like this is because they have some sick fetish for matsumoto puke. He's not even good in Gokusen, he's just bareable- but at least the rest of Gokusen was good and the other characters made up for his suckiness.
anyhow, if it was possible to give a zero for this, I would. | | Reviewed by idiotcat on 2 January 2009 |

this was the most anticipated dorama in my life history, probably because i'm left too long without any of matsujun's new work. yess,i'm one of matsujun's fans and I’d waited so long for this dorama to be released in my place that i nearly scream out loud when i first saw it already available in the store few months earlier than i've expected.watching this dorama, i found new things rather than my all-time-fav matsujun. i just realised how beautiful koyuki is.she is so attractive and sooooo captivating.as a girl myself, it's not normal for me to say that i can't take my eyes of her but it's true, i did.i just love the way she dressed,so stylish yet still considerably simple.the way she wears her make-ups, the way she walks, the way she talks and the way she smiles are so aspiring.she did a very great job here potraying a tall, beautiful, successful career-woman iwaya sumire.i think she did a very superb job with her acting performance. this was koyuki first dorama to be the leading role and she didn’t blew it away. we can expect more great works from her in the future.and i think high credits should be given to all the casts as well who did a very good job in this dorama. i don’t know why, probably it’s a result of my great obsession with matsujun but i somehow think that this dorama was extraordinarily superb. the storyline was imaginative and uniquely different, the soundtracks (and i’m referring to the instrumentals rather than the song ‘darling’ by V6) were outstandingly moving. the chemistry between the casts was great and without suzuki sarina, nagatsuka kyozo,yamashita shinji and watanebe ikkei, the story wouldn’t be as hilarious and interesting as it’s been. however, matsujun’s performance here was a bit lower than my expectation. he did a good job here but somehow i found momo character was sometimes shameful. well, i’m not blaming it on him because it’s hard for human to act adorably as a dog.maybe i’m so used to the kakkoi matsujun that I’ve found hard times adjusting to his new character. all in all, he did a brave attempt here to vary his actings and he deserves some credits for that. and i have to admit that eventhough i can’t bear to see him make a fool of himself as momo the dog ,his charms did shone at times throughout the story. | | 37. | Comments by Tekanan [Rating: ?/10]

I've read the manga and really liked it, so I had hoped this is gonna be great too. And I wsn't disappointed (^__^). I never watched anything w/ Matsumoto Jun or Koyuki in it.....well, there's Antique, but I didn't like Koyuki there. But I really like Koyuki here! She did a great job as Sumire...cool with others, clumsy w/ Hasumi-senpai, and herself w/ Momo. MatsuJun as Momo is perfect too! The look, the moves, everything.
However, I saw Tanabe Seiichi in Food Fight and he was a total idiot so I can't imagine him as her cool, sexy senpai. So far, he seems to be trying but the way he smiles is just too creepy for me.
The drama seems to follow the manga nicely (exact quotes everywhere) but they put in some extra elements like: her landlord hates her (i hate the landlord) & Sumire seeing that psychologist. I was sad they took out the part when Sumire tries to quit smoking though. That was one of my fave arc's from the manga.
The ending is diff from anything in the manga (since the manga didn't end yet); it's kinda odd, but not too bad of an ending. Overall, this drama is great! Watch this for light hearted entertainment and MatsuJun being really cute =) | | 40. | Comments by ryce [Rating: 10/10]

One of the cutest and most heart-warming dramas to ever grace Japanese television. Momo's character was so sweet and I absolutely loved the relationship between him and Koyuki. Matsumoto Jun really did a wonderful job portraying the Koyuki's "pet" and their moments together were really sweet and funny. This is definitely a drama that you can watch more than once. Highly recommended. However, I must warn that this drama isn't for everyone. The story is very unrealistic (after all it is based on a manga).
If I could rate this drama properly, I would give the first half of it a 9/10, but the ending of this drama was very poorly written and left it open-ended and made me even wonder what the point of this drama was in the first place. I would give the ending a 6/10. But overall the drama was very likeable. | | 64. | Comments by blakmetalik [Rating: 8/10]
Not very realistic but a highly amusing show. The whole time I was glued to the screen, watching one episode after another, thinking, "Are they? Or aren't they?!" At the time I watched this I was about the same age as Koyuki's character, so the show got me thinking a little about if I would ever consider a romantic relationship with someone that much younger than me. Matsumoto Jun is cute in this one and really fit into the dancer role. At any rate, it's a fun drama. There sure are a lot of kissing scenes in this one...

Episode 1 was interesting.. then it slides down from there. Overall it's a cute drama. | | 75. | Comments by Julianlivre [Rating: 8/10]
The two main characters in this show fits perfectly for these roles they got in this drama. This drama is really funny and something that must be seen. | | 76. | Comments by lynn minmei [Rating: 7/10]
Good but not that great. The idea of a love story between a master and a pet(human) is indeed unique. I like it. Koyuki's acting is very good and also she's hot. | | 77. | Comments by hananako [Rating: 6/10]
nice story.. but does it really happen? ;D | | 78. | Comments by sahabat9 [Rating: 8/10]
i gave 8, although it seems a bit unrealitics..hehehe... but i love Momo... hahahaha | | 79. | Comments by yamada_taro [Rating: 10/10]
This idea may seem surreal and a bit weird, but once you watch it, you'll love it. This is the first drama I've watched with Koyuki in it.. she's great! I'm looking forward to seeing more. Same goes with Matsujun.. he was adorable in here. Makes me want a "Momo" myself. ;) | | 80. | Comments by aoi_hana [Rating: 10/10]
Sooo cute! This was the first drama I ever watched, and because of it, I had to watch a lot more. Manga-based dramas are always really excellent. | | 81. | Comments by Marit [Rating: 8/10]
nice romance .. still it seemed that it lacked of something.. maybe of action? don`t know exactly, but I just loved the leading-actress.. and MatsuJun ... hihi Kawaiii :D | | 82. | Comments by zelie [Rating: 9/10]
I want to give it 9.5... I didn't give it 10 because it was too easy to guess the ending but this is a great story. The cast couldn't be better and they're very faithful to the characters of the manga this drama is based on. I'm very impressed with MatsuJun's acting + dancing and the chemistry between Sumire and Momo is perfect. This one is a must-see, it's so different from any other dorama I've seen with a bold and original story. | | 83. | Comments by lovejdorama [Rating: ?/10]

A cute drama with goods actors.
It was the first time I saw MatsuJun playing in a drama and it was a good surprise. Koyuki is talented too !
The music is funny and suits perfectly the drama.
A must watch ^ ^ | | 85. | Comments by requiem [Rating: 6/10]
Charming, fulfilling, and overall a great watch. Beware of the somewhat silly conclusion, though - while it is well thought out and a new concept, it wouldn't appease the relationship between the two leads for the many lovesick-romantics (such as me.) | | 86. | Comments by meiohsetsuna [Rating: 8/10]
Ahh this was so cute! I think guy's should watch it too, its gotta be a fantasy! Having a girl give you a bath and all! Adorable story! Koyuki was wonderful! MatsuJun was rather whiney, but I guess that is expected of a 'pet'. Would have been nice if it ended a touch happier, but its all good. Good looking guys! Mmmmm! | | 87. | Comments by Azn_Rayver [Rating: 9/10]
Sort of weird, but still very good and interesting. I would buy it if I could. | | 88. | Comments by Lil_Naka [Rating: 8/10]

very unique drama, never seen one like this! pretty good too | | 98. | Comments by GIGI [Rating: ?/10]
Love this drama to bits! Out of this world plot but made to look very plausible in real life. I'm such a Koyuki fan! And Matsumoto Jun is darn cute as Momo. | | 99. | Comments by Di@na [Rating: 10/10]
One of the cutest romantic comedies I ever watched! I even liked the soundtrack! The main actors played their roles very charmy..
MatsuJun makes a very cute and sexy petto ^^ | | 100. | Comments by Kawaii Kinomoto [Rating: 10/10]
very good series!!! very adorable with some romance and comedy in it, stars famous actors such as matsujun (from arashi) as momo (takeshi goda) and koyuki (the last samurai, antique, beautiful life, etc.) as sumire iwaya!! very good series!! | | 101. | Comments by Prongs [Rating: 8/10]
MatsuJun so Cute ....
Cawaiiiiii | | 102. | Comments by g_hunter1 [Rating: 7/10]
Come on now, who would really act like a dog. Well besides the point, it was still kinda entertaining but a bit too weird sometimes. | | 103. | Comments by selphie086 [Rating: 6/10]
An over rated drama. | | 104. | Comments by NaTsUmE_MaYa [Rating: 10/10]
Totemo kawaii romance...Matsu Jun and Koyuki are wonderful... | | 105. | Comments by jekert [Rating: 6/10]
i find the story a bit shallow...but it's fun and entertaining. | | 106. | Comments by thetenken [Rating: 5/10]
Somewhat soulless. | | 107. | Comments by moonchyld [Rating: 8/10]
pretty entertaining... matsujun is really hyper! and koyuki is fantastic as the socially awkward career woman. very interesting concept hehehe~ | | 108. | Comments by aqua [Rating: 9/10]
go MOMO!!go MOMO!! just luv it.. | | 109. | Comments by Susan [Rating: 10/10]
Matsumoto Jun was superb in this light-hearted series. As the hyperactive, funny, and cute "Momo," he played a perfect compliment to Koyuki's serious, beautiful, but wounded Sumire. Koyuki, to me, is such an elegant and natural actress, and I hope to see her in more leading roles where this side of her is exploited. I admit that I don't think much of Matsumoto as a singer, but I think that he has the potential to be a really superb actor. I look forward to all of his future projects. Kimi wa Petto is my favorite J-Dorama, and will likely remain my favorite for some time! | | 110. | Comments by IkematsuSosuke [Rating: 10/10]
I really like this drama..I understand how they feel..highly recommended! | | 111. | Comments by 1noni [Rating: 10/10]
this show is so cool. i would mind having momo as my pet ne! i'm sure it'll be fun. prob he'll teach me ballet or something.. must watch | | 112. | Comments by Jessicasoon [Rating: 9/10]
even thou there's abit too much of crying scenes by koyuki. and abit too much of kissing from jun. >.< but still very fun to watch overall! i really really love the plot. the idea of having a real life human pet! such a handsome one somemore! how cool is tt. | | 113. | Comments by fybabe [Rating: 10/10]
nothing on the production part of this low budget drama is outstanding. the art direction is awful, the editing is flat, the background music sounds canned and the styling is ordinary.
but somehow, it's one of the most memorable drama i've ever seen.
i've never seen anyone on this planet act a human dog as successfully as jun. the fact that he blatantly takes on this embarrassing role without holding back is what makes the drama (and him) impactful and memorable. the acting alone is reason enough for me to vote for this drama.
storyline is stereotype but yet not stereotype. the idea seems shallow but yet not so shallow if you read into the psychology of it...
out take: excellent! | | 114. | Comments by aznvietguy [Rating: 8/10]
very good jdorama, captures resurfaced childhood innocence | | 115. | Comments by Seghal [Rating: 2/10]
I didn't liked it at all. | | 116. | Comments by yo-chan [Rating: 10/10]
Great cast! Great acting! Great story *thanks to the manga XD*! Great ending! everythings just GREAT! XD | | 117. | Comments by williu [Rating: 8/10]
This is one of the oddest dramas I've ever seen, but nonetheless one of the best. It makes you think a lot - what's really important in a relationship? | | 118. | Comments by arwenna [Rating: 8/10]
Interesting storyline. Koyuki's better efforts. Of course MatsuJun was pretty good. He has improved. | | 119. | Comments by yamete_evie [Rating: 10/10]
This was ADORABLE! Jun was perfect as Momo, Koyuki was really good at acting as a cold-hearted career woman who softens only around her "pet" I liked the ending too because it wasn't cliched. When I got this I wasn't sure that such a premise would work, but it turned out to be one of the most entertaining doramas I've seen :D | | 120. | Comments by Dorochive [Rating: 2/10]
Abnormally cheesy. | | 121. | Comments by Alatariel [Rating: 7/10]
Interesting storyline | | 122. | Comments by silchan [Rating: 9/10]
Sooo funny!! Koyuki plays a perfect Sumire, even more severe than the one in the manga! And Momo's so cute and tender, I love how MastuJun plays Momo!!! | | 123. | Comments by Aiba-Masaki [Rating: 10/10]
Because of Jun I watched it fell inlove with him..demo..I love Aiba now =D | | 124. | Comments by waffer [Rating: 10/10]
MatsuJun was just so KAWAII on this drama. I really got close to this drama maybe because i kinda understood the pet situation (there was this one year, when I didn't have a pet and I got really sad because of it) so I recommend it to all pet owners! | | 125. | Comments by tInoltin [Rating: 8/10]
Kawaii Jun & amazing Koyuki~! | | 126. | Comments by Kotori [Rating: 10/10]
I totally felt in love with Jun!!! *_* He is sooos weet in that... gosh.... Hope soon I can watch more from him.. like Gokushen. He totally is Momo, my favourite in Tramps like us. ^-^ | | 127. | Comments by Ayum� [Rating: 10/10]
Jun looks so cute in it (like a lil' pet)...*wish I could see this too* | | 128. | Comments by ryoko293 [Rating: 10/10]
hach....KAWAII!!!! Jun and Koyuki, both very good actors! Love the plot, love the actors, love the end. Highly recommended | | 129. | Comments by aiscess [Rating: 8/10]
Its very funny and the plot is very interesting...jun is so cute as Momo and Koyuki is so sophisticated as Sumire-chan ^-^ | | 130. | Comments by mallepa [Rating: 10/10]
Sweet and touching. Plus, MatsuJun <--reason on its own. XD | | 131. | Comments by minitotoro [Rating: 9/10]
great performance by matsujun after doing gokusen! | | 132. | Comments by AjiKan [Rating: 9/10]
Very good drama!! It was the first drama i ever completed, and i really enjoyed watching it. At first when i heard about it, i was thinking, "what kind of storyline IS this??" But as i started to watch it, i really liked the chemistry between MatsuJun and Koyuki. I recommend this Dorama to anyone. It's fun and playful, and makes you want to get a dog... or maybe something else ^^; | | 133. | Comments by hina-sama [Rating: 6/10]
Matsujun is lovely and really cute in it. But Koyuki wasn't that great. What a shame!
Nagatsuka Kyozo was really good and really funny in his role! Makes me laugh a lot XD Looks like his character was the one i liked the most in the drama! | | 134. | Comments by andrealynne [Rating: 9/10]
First drama I watched, and only because it was based upon a favorite manga of mine. The acting was solid, and while I already knew the plot I was very pleases with how it was played out. | | 135. | Comments by MilkyWay [Rating: 10/10]
what a lovley dorama.
For the first time I watched all episodes in a row. I just couldn't stop +_+
Well, I think that says it all ^^ | | 136. | Comments by Andro [Rating: 10/10]
A very funny and absurd dorama with Matsu Jun and Koyuki. I want a pet like Momo! :) | | 137. | Comments by lorac81 [Rating: 10/10]

nothing amazing, but the psychiatrist guy is bT_Td | | 142. | Comments by haruhii [Rating: 10/10]
really really good! didn't think the live would be as good as the manga but it's really good. :D | | 143. | Comments by tAz [Rating: 9/10]
at ferx i thot it dusn't make sense. a boy for a pet? tt sounds soo wierd. but matsumoto jun once again surprises me. haha, he was really cute. the drama is farney n touching. it's rather good, honestly. momo-chan is so adorable. i'll love to haf a pet like that ((: | | 144. | Comments by ichigopan [Rating: 6/10]
Overall this was an ok drama. I think the leap from manga to live action doesn't quite work here. The story is hard to relate to in real life. Part of the enjoyment of watching dramas is to be able to connect with the characters and relate to their experience. I found it difficult to connect with them. Still, there's a lot of eye candy with Matsujun and Koyuki so overall, if you're a fan of either, this is worth watching if you can get past the unconventional storyline. | | 145. | Comments by lazy_bum [Rating: 7/10]
the actors were great but the plot is not really that captivating...Sumire-chan's character development was interesting, but there was not much development for Takeshi Goda's character *bummer* | | 146. | Comments by MeowMeow [Rating: 10/10]
kimi wa petto is so good!
i love momo<3 | | 147. | Comments by abbyneesan [Rating: 9/10]
An amazing drama! Full of romance, humour, and a particular bishounen (xD); just my type of drama! The only reason why my rating of it isnt a 10 is because the ending was a bit unrealistic for me, and some of the characters (in my opinion) are not pleasing to the eye (argh I'm so shallow!). MatsuJun makes up for it tho. Hes so hot in this drama! | | 148. | Comments by < |
