Let’s fins out that Hong Jo succeeds in hiding his identity from Sol Ah?

The Feel-Good Part

The best part was Hong Jo discovering new things and figuring out to act like a human. The last few episodes had a bittersweet and, and became the memorable part of the drama. Some of the exciting themes were also explored by them. The ost also worked well with the mood of the scene.

The Disappointing Factor

It felt like the plot is weak. Many explanations were not given to the audience. The subplot of a cat lover was irrelevant. The production and execution were also low on their values.

In-Depth Analysis

The idea of a human-cat changing character without getting noticed by anyone and mainly the female lead. The drama gave thoughts of a fluffy romantic drama. As the story moves, it becomes less and less interesting to watch. The plot starts with a bang, but there is nothing much going around. They had a weak love triangle and a shallow side story. But the writers are appreciated for not following a generic plot. The story is also straightforward and doesn’t make illogical leaps. The ending was a bit disappointing because there can be more finality and happiness. The length of the drama tightes the storyline.

Star Power

The acting was average, and the male has lacked emotional range. Doo Sik was good throughout. Ji Eun tried her best and that was visible but she was not able to communicate in the work environment. Sol Ah was good as a lead. The cast was appropriate but lacked in some ways.

Overall Opinion

Meow, the secret bit is adapted from the webtoon series “Welcome” by Go A Ra. The story was delightful and engaging to go on with. It gives a new theme to go ahead with.
