Expected more of it
This drama is short and okay. It gave me similar vibes as I'm a Pet at Dali Temple because both female leads turn into a cat and go on a search for magical jade pieces.
The story is good but I wonder why the scriptwriters found it necessary to have a character like Chu Chu.
Her background might be interesting in the future but in the first season she's just an annoyance.
Chu's the stereotype of a female who can't accept that the guy is not returning her love and acts immature and sulky every time she gets turned down. One might think that being rejected multiple times would finally make it go "click" in that nice head of hers but no, she just keeps humiliating herself and throwing away her pride by chasing the male like she's in heat. I mean no offense just that I prefer female characters who are strong and independent, but she's everything but that and I can't identify with this.
The female lead is better but the constant misunderstandings and lack of honest communication or replying at all (isn't it great when party 1 asks for an explanation before jumping to conclusions and party 2 just stubbornly stays silent and let the misunderstanding even arise in the first place?) is frustrating.
I admit the way they make up is cute but I think a bit less "hot then cold and yes then no" would do the drama good.
Acting is good, maybe a tiny bit overacted at some parts but overall okay and bearable.
I like the cast and chemistry that you can see by the little extra scenes after each episode.
The music fits the drama and is nice. Not a symphonic masterpiece of art but right for the drama with an upbeat tune in the opening for example.
Rewatch value is pretty low because I find nothing that would make me interested enough to go for a rewatch. Watching this once is enough for me. Overall I think the drama is okay, not comparable to high budget productions but doing good enough for a drama to introduce actors and make audience interesting in watching more of them. I'll watch season 2 and see if the story and character develop.
