I thought MatsuJun was really good in this drama. His acting gets better and better everytime I see him.

yeay.. glad everyone can see matsujun in more great roles.. DT and arnel, tell me your views on matsujun's acting after finishing the series okay? ^^

arashinokoto..... well it's almost done. One more ep left. I've enjoyed this drama very much. In fact that's what got me liking Jun. As far as his acting. I haven't seen him act in any other dramas except for this one. I take that back, I've seen him in Gokusen. I think he can act pretty well. It was enjoyable to see him in Kimi wa Petto. That part suited him. I liked watching him and Koyuki together. The only thing he didn't do was shed tears when it was those sad moments. But he kisses not bad

I just finished watching this drama and I had some mixed feelings about it generally. I thought the acting by Koyuki and Jun was pretty good & I felt that helped motivate me to continue watching it through the end. However, the plot as far-fetched as it is, really from a literary perspective does not allow the viewer to indulge in that necessary "suspension of disbelief." The characters vastly different backgrounds, big age gap and differing personal circumstances made the overall story arc a bit too unbelievable so that I couldn't totally indulge myself in the emotional peaks and troughs experienced by the two. I will emphasize again though Koyuki's acting was excellent and she played the part of the cool, collected, elegant & beautiful yet emotionally vulnerable woman exceptionally well. Her acting here made me a fan of hers, I must say. Perhaps if they hadn't made the relationship b/n the two main characters so unrealistic it might have allowed a more intimate attachment to the characters themselves. I will say this...the plot was unique to say the least. Not an all time best drama but far, far from the worst I've seen.

They were playing some repeats of it out here... Sometime around noon on one of the Basic Japanese channels. It seemed somewhat cute...

Anyhows, how can I get ahold of it online? I'd love to give it a watch.

Yeah if you'd like to get a hold of a copy of "Kimi wa Petto" go to to the JTV website and download the episodes at

Hope you enjoy the show

*SPOILER ALERT*

I don't quite understand why so many people think this is a good show. Kimi wa petto has got to be one of the silliest programs I've ever seen. I mean, who in their right mind actually drags a box that's got a guy in it into their home? Especially a guy who's all bloodied, injured and who looks like he's barely alive? I would venture to say that most people would either ignore the box, call the police, or at least take the guy out of the box and transport him to the hospital. But to actually leave him in the box and drag it all the way up in the elevator to the condo? I don't think so! Then, the kid Takeshi actually agrees to be a pet? That's such a far-fetched idea that it's almost laughable. And there were so many other instances in which the program just seemed ridiculous. For me, the program went downhill from the first episode. I just thought the premise of the storyline was such a farce that I gave up on the show.

Sorry to be so harsh but this jdorama was probably the worst I've ever seen. It made absolutely no sense. I like most of the jdoramas I've watched but I'm really disappointed in this one, particularly after reading all the positive comments about it.

Just my opinion of the show. I know a lot of other people feel differently, which I respect, but for me, this is one program I wouldn't recommend.

totally agreed with nihon-jin....
too ridiculous, respect ur opinion as well as mine...
others? never mind lah!

I mentioned that in my comment previously...I won't call it the worst show I've seen but the hard-to-swallow reality does tarnish the show a bit....let's not forget thought that the show is based on an ongoing manga with a primarily female readership in japan. In any case it's better than HERO I thought. A japanese prosecutor who walks into work everyday wearing jeans and parkas in Tokyo's main prosecutorial branch...now any student of Japanese culture, political science or law would know that is entirely laughable.

i cant wait to buy it. im currently reading the manga and its pretty good. i cant wait to see koyuki in a lead role!
has anyone read the manga??

I'm reading the manga too and I love it. But unfortunately Sumire in the series differs from the manga character. I think she's lost pretty much of her sence of humour and strength. Physical strength too, by the way.

But Momo is just the way he should be - they coudn't have chosen a better actor for this role.

There are some other differencies between the manga and the series, but the show is still very good. I enjoyed it a lot. One of my favourite doramas.

I was looking on jdorama for everyones favorite dramas.
For some reason I started watching Kimi Wa Petto, and for
the life of me I can't even watch the whole episode.
It is of course a story but even if a person is homeless he
has value and should not be treated like a pet. Matsumoto
Jin doesn't look like he is homeless and his hair still has some
gel in it.

The first episode is so obnoxious that it's hard to watch for me.
Someone tell me that it gets better, because as it is in my opinion
it devalues human life. Some uppity office woman who is lonely
finds a homeless man and turns him into a pet turns my stomach.
Maybe I should watch Summer Snow again

I'm not taking away from your critique of the show, as I myself had mixed feelings about the drama, but I will point out that it's fanciful plot is derived from a very popular japanese manga (shoujo manga) with a predominantly female readership. derive what sociological conclusions you would like given the gender dynamic involved. notwithstanding that fact from a literary point of view, the "suspension of disbelief" is not effectively maintained throughout the show, i thought.

p.s. there is an existing kimi wa petto thread you might want to read where ppl throw in their two cents, two yen, or otherwise.

Thanks for replying,

I've only recently gotten addicted to japanese drama's
and so far seen some very good ones. I'ts just that
this one got under my skin from the very first episode.


It could be that I am too analytical and it's only the first episode
and things could change. I will check out the threat and find out
what other people thought about it.

Nah man, I applaud your critique of the show...it's engaging to read other ppl's comments/impressions of dramas.....

Um, we've already got a discussion thread for this: http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.3442.htm
