Be My Pet / You're My Pet Korean Movie Dvd (Kim Ha Neul, Jang Keun Suk) Based on Manga Kimi Wa Petto

Loosely based on the Japanese manga (comic) Kimi wa Petto (You're my Pet) aka Tramps Like Us, I've watched the Japanese series based off of the same manga and enjoyed it. I was curious when I saw it, because I enjoyed the manga, too, and was curious what sort of spin they'd put on it. It was definitely interesting that they actually gave the pet a bit more backstory to explain how he came to be in the box, and what happened before, rather than her just coming home to find him in the box.All in all, I'd actually say that this is definitely a fresh spin on the series, seriously condensed into a movie. It's been a while since I've read it, but there are definite deviations from the manga, such as the master character being more feminine, rather than the fan of wrestling, K-1, and shonen (for boys) anime who smokes that she is in the manga. From the looks of it, her ex doesn't leave her for his mistress, either. Though, everything else is pretty close. Typical spiteful wench side character (a stock character in Asian Dramas), confusion abound, and overall, I definitely give this five stars. It is worth a watch. Very cute.

Jang Keun (or Geum) Suk is perfect in this role. He's just so CUTE! That smile of his just gives me the giggly goosebumps. JKS is a laid back dancer that just needs a warm place to stay for a while. Enter the lady who has bad luck with all sorts of love dating disasters. Her brother, who is friends with JKS, suggests that he bunk down with the sister. She is no longer interested in love, but is willing to put up with a "pet". So the agreement is made. He greets her at the door with a smile & gratitude. He is appreciative of her cooking & in her care of him. BUT then things progress nicely. He is still her pet, but she starts 'worrying' about how he is doing when she is not home, etc.Watch the movie THRU the credits....extra scenes are included.Enjoy!

A cute movie worth an evening. Why the male did not get the epic beat-down that was coming to him from the handsome ex is anyone's guess.The female office worker/friend of the female lead is a conniving b**ch that needs a rope around her neck - FASTThe subtitles were FUBAR in this movie. Whoever was in charge of the subtitles needs a new job. Brush up on your Korean, maggots!I think the female lead (the cute Kim Na-neul) needed to pull the stick out and mellow out. She nearly got massively screwed in the end.Why she ended up the way she did in the end was mystifying...can't they just date like normal couples? What do I know?!

This is a cute romcom. It is based upon a staple of Korean movies and dramas: a couple who, for their disparate reasons, decide to live together under false pretenses so as to provide them with a "beard" that permits a single man and a single woman to live together. Ji Eun Yi (Kim Ha Neul) is a high powered career woman who is unable to sustain a romantic attachment with a man and who is beginning to reach an age where she is hearing "spinster" whispered behind her back. Indeed, she is beginning to feel lonely and wishes she had someone to go home to at night. Kang In Ho (Jang Geun Suk) is a dancer who is unable to dance because he is haunted by a mistake he made that caused the woman he was dancing with to sustain a career ending injury. He would like to become a choreographer, but he is between careers and without a place to stay. He is brought to Eun Yi's home by her brother and a deal is negotiated between them to permit him to live with her on the condition that he takes on the role of being her dead, but not forgotten, dog Momo. Both being veterans of movies and dramas Ha Neul and Geun Suk are able to generate comfortable and droll performances that yield good chemistry and prevent the movie from sliding over the edge into slapstick. There are several scenes of the two of them interacting as mistress and dog, including one where he climbs into her bed to sleep, that are sweet and amusing. And that's how the movie is kept from becoming tawdry; everything is kept sweet and the sexual undertones inherent to the mistress/pet relationship are largely suppressed. There are the usual elements, the triangle with the ex-boyfriend, another with a pretty young girl who can't understand why In Ho is interested in an old lady. But there isn't much new here. The dialog is ordinary, the cinematography is ordinary, the plot flirts with being trite, the acting is almost too relaxed and the movie never quite rises to being funny. But they look good together and there is nothing offensive. If you are a real romcom fan (as I am) you will probably watch it more than once.

Great directing and castings, from Kim Na-neul as a busy working woman who took in herlittle brother's friend (Jankg keun suk) as a pet, to a dreamy hunky boyfriend, the uptightboss, their friends and co workers, the dancers, down to JKS girl friend who was only in the movie for 3 seconds at the beginning, don't blink your eyes or you will miss her. Everyone in the movie was truly funny.Suitable for all ages, from tween to teens, to single career women and family.No disgusting bathroom jokes or foul language.

A delightful improbable romantic comedy with a couple of my favorite actors. Jang Geun-seok/Jang Keun-suk of "Baby and I" and "You're Beautiful/ He's Beautiful" plays a homeless ballet dancer. Kim Na-neul of "My Girlfriend Is An Agent" plays a no-nonsense fashion editor who has been dumped by her fiancé and demoted at work. She feel lonely and is thinking of getting a dog when her bother brings the dancer to her apt. He reminds her of her dog Momo and agrees to take the place of Momo.

I have been a fan of JGS since Mary Stayed out All night with Moon Geun Young. And I have pretty much every single show that he has done including Beethoven Virus which is his only serious role. Kim Ha Neul caught my attention in A Gentleman's Dignity; she was funny there and even more so with JGS. I very much enjoyed the two of them working together in this movie.Now if they could only put it on DVD so I can purchase it.
