Park Min May 14 2023 1:24 pm Every single character was as unlikable as they could be. About 90% of the characters were scummy. All relationships were bad, both romantic and non-romantic ones, especially the ones including the fathers. It's not about cats, it's about bad daddies! The entire production screams low quality. The cast performance was disappointing, especially both male leads. Despite their lack of chemistry, they couldn't pull up more than 2 reactions per episode. There weren't enough side plots or overlapping plots other than the main one, which made the main one feel extremely draggy for 119 episodes. The only side plot that had some kind of continuity was Eun Sook and that's it! The main story sucked, nothing was interesting or fun about it. I'm having a hard time to find anything to like here, maybe Choi Yoon Young because I liked her in "Seo Yeong, My Daughter (2012)"?

lrt Jul 16 2019 5:35 am One of the best stories hands down. Great cast and acting...especially the loan shark Mom and Dad. I almost gave it up because it started slow. I hung in there because of the high ratings and I am so glad I did.

zombie Mar 29 2018 10:40 pm i just started epi 6 and im already hooked up and craving for the next epi this is what dramas are all about getting addicted and unable to stop watching the ratings are excellent started with above 20% and never got less than that throughout which is very rare yes cuz the last 5 dramas that ive started none of them i past the 5th epi i just pulled the plug on them so angrily and got very depressed i came here cuz of samsaengi which i love it so much the only other drama from dear cat writer and i wasnt mistaken this drama is gonna be as good as the other the lead female looked so familiar but i couldnt tell until i looked for her other dramas and there it was my daughter seo young i completely fell for her at that time

Rome Feb 23 2015 4:43 pm I am completely in love with this drama. I just started watching it yesterday and I'm already hooked. Its really great and I would recommend it as well. Also I really like Choi Yoon-Young which makes the show ever better for me

Alphonso Jan 10 2015 7:20 pm Congratulations to the supremely talented Choi Yoon Young for winning best actress for her portrayal of of Ko Yangsun in 'My Dear Cat'! A much deserved honor!! This actress is a cut above the average performer and always delivers a high quality performance. The drama was a great ride and a credit to KBS and it's long period of sustained excellence...

Victoria Francis Nov 16 2014 1:08 am This is one of the worst Korean shows I have seen in years. The writing is unbelievable and trite. Most of the events could and would not happen. It would take too long and too much space to give specific reasons. I don't understand its popularity.

star Nov 14 2014 9:57 am Excellent daily drama . one of the best . it has a good story with beautiful lovely lead couple . ( chi woong / yang sun )...

kurage Nov 13 2014 4:42 am I watched until ep69 and I can say that I super hate Yangsun's mom. She acts like she's super rich although she's damn poor already. She's very self centered and selfish spoiled housewife. I hate that she looked down on Chiwung as if her daughter is the best woman in the world. If I become Yangsun, I'll get out from the house and see if the mom can take care of herself without any income. Thank god I don't have a narrow minded mother like her.

sumeya Nov 08 2014 12:36 pm wow yangsun you cant act well

Maddy Nov 05 2014 7:24 am I really love to see Chi Woong and Yang Soon together. They are such a good couple. In fact, their love story is the only reason that I still watch this drama.

- Choi Yoon Young,She was born in 1986.**

I was mistaken (counting) her age to 29. Actually she had turned to 28 on the last few days.(sep25).

mra Sep 04 2014 10:36 am GREAT STORY! I hope yangsoon will end up with sungil in the end. My fav character is hong sun ja......she is very funny! I always laugh to see her acting! So talented!

paquito ignacio Sep 02 2014 11:21 am i like choi yoon-young and some of the actress and actors were familiar to me as I have been watching Korean drama for 7 years. choi yoon-young is a good actress and has a good personality.i just wish to have contact to some of my favorite Korean actors and actress.

Edison Jul 24 2014 9:22 pm An outstanding story, so far! Impossible not to like Choi Yoon Young. She has a flair for comedy and drama. Many thanks to the powers that be for making her the lead. And Park So Hyun; How in the world can a person her age be so fit and limber? I've been waiting for her to return to the drama world. Waiting for the sparks to fly...
