Fan reviews: Kimi wa Petto

klewis123 · 19 Apr 2007

I think Matsujun is a great actor but I absolutely hated this drama. All the characters seemed shallow and selfish. I am reviewing even though I hate this series to save some other poor fool from wasting their precious time watching it. I want those hours of my life back.

If you are looking for a drama with a good acting, look for other series bc you will be dissapointed with this series.But if you just looking for a light drama with a good looking actors, watch this series bc it's enjoyable and fun to watch.I watched this series two years ago and stopped at 5 ep. cause i can't stand the acting.Today, I've a lot of free times and nothing to do, so i finishing the series and in the end i think this series is not that bad.It's enjoyable.Watch this drama as you watch hyd, haruka17, itazura na kiss and many more dramas that based on manga/anime.Not so good in acting but they got nice looking actors with a fun story.Just enjoy it!

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.

Anyway,

Matsu-kun wa kawaii itsumo desu yo! :D

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!

I really enjoy Koyuki, but she could not save this drama. I did not enjoy this drama at all. I felt the chemistry was not believable and everything was forced. The lone bright spots was a few humerous moments with some of the supporting roles. This is my least favorite of any drama that I have seen to date.

jankuangel · 16 Oct 2006

I only got to watch part of it but this drama is really good!
GREAT acting by Matsumoto Jun!

Gorahgurl · 14 Oct 2006

This is my favorite dorama ever. I'm only on episode 5, though. ^_^ But Fukushima is very, very, very annoying. Grr. And ugly. x_x And Jun is the best in this one; I love his other roles (Gokusen) as well. Must-watch!

akeman · 15 Sep 2006

I'm really sick of watching this series, plot is weird and nothing interesting at all. What is the main point of this drama? Highly educated and perfect girl can end up with...a pet? A "mister perfect" is for a ....... girl who chasing man all days?

I don't care much about how cute they are on screen, just want to see better drama than this. Really sick!

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.

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!

Although there were a few awkward moments, the entire show was really very interesting. The chemistry between Iwaya and Momo was excellent and you could really feel Iwaya's suffering and pain. I was surprised by the ending and really pleased. I wasn't sure if I would like it but its won me over. Grand concept!

This drama... is kind of weird and unrealistic. lol. But it was good nonetheless. Takeshi Goda was very cute in this drama.

Shindou · 14 May 2006

A rather unusual twist on the overdone older woman-younger man relationship dorama. Koyuki plays her role very well and the rest of the cast does a good supporting job. Aside from the unique premise of having a human pet, the story is rather predictable. A decently enjoyable series.

muffin707 · 27 Apr 2006

You would think its a weird story reading the synopsis but I was totally absorb in every episode, except the last.

Jalapeno · 24 Mar 2006

well..... not the best jdrama i've seen. koyuki & matsujun are just right for their roles. plot is a bit shady and dragging as well. can't say it's matsujun's best work although he's really cute as momo. i watched this drama through youtube.com so it took me longer to finish it.

sometimes i also forget matsujun is "momo" and not "takeshi goda" in some of the scenes he has with koyuki and that made it tad harder to understand hehe. but in any case, i guess it's worth your time to watch and savor the matsujun yummyness. :P

eeskok · 11 Mar 2006

I think I would have liked it more if it went along with the book. The only thing I love about kimi wa petto is probably momo.

bettebogart · 2 Feb 2006

After reading the plot, I avoided watching this drama for fear of it being too far fetched or silly. However, I was wrong. The actors pull off what is really a crazy story perfectly, they make me believe it. What a beautiful, adorable love story. Totally unique. This is certainly one of my favorites. I want to watch it again.

After viewing the first episode, I thought this was the worst waste of time I had ever experienced in my life; I was put off by the inane script, Jun Matsumoto's forced antics, and the flippant references towards sex. 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! Part of the reason I loved it is because in personality, I can relate to Koyuki's character, and I just loved the way she was written. But I was also charmed by the humor, and the fact that each and every single character had distinct and memorable traits. It's the little touches that give the life to this drama, and this was as well-rounded a cast as I've ever seen. Lovely music, and the pacing was just right for me.

This is a story about a young man name goda takeshi... he hide from the box and fallen asleep... on the other hand... sumire iwaya saw the box outside the apartment... she really don't know what she'll do ... so she just get the box and take good care to takeshi... on the next day... when takeshi didn't want to go...so sumire decide... that takeshi will be her pet.. and he named him "MOMO" on the first episode sumire-chan didn't know the real name of takeshi... if you like this then watch this so you will see the ending..... XD this is cool but this show is only fiction....
