{ You’re my Pet }

So I was scrolling thru Pinterest. Some very aesthetically pleasing pics of Jun Matsumoto got recommended in my email, so I had to take a quick look 👀

… Then I came across dis pic, which got me going hmmm……

😺/ Omo…. wat is dis beautiful pic I am looking at? And why does it sorta look like my deep secret fantasy come thru 🫣…. /😺

Ok i ought to find out more abt dis. For research purposes ☝🏼. Yes…. dis is definitely worth looking more into 🤭

…

Apparently it’s from a show called “Kimi Wa Petto” / “You’re my Pet”. And the synopsis of the show:

…

Ooooooohhhhh…. 🤭☺️😭😖😍🥰

.

So on one hand dis a drama depicting my seemingly ultimate dream fantasy. But on the other hand……….. no there is no other hand lol 😆. I gotta check dis out…

…. that’s conveniently all on YouTube. Perfect 👍🏼…. (tho only the more recent 2017 one, not the MatsuJun one….)

.

Ok, episode 1:

Enter our female lead – a successful and pretty woman Sumire, who is intelligent and doing well in her job. But oso abit cold and standoffish from her colleagues. Inneresting…..

.

She goes back drunk one day. Becos dats the classic strong independent woman trope in these dramas, lol.

On the way home, she finds a guy sleeping in a make-shift cardboard house on the side of the street, made for dogs…

…

ok…..

He brings her drunk ass back to her house, and casually just stays over for the night… (ermmm)…

.

So apparently he is our male lead, Takeshi….. He looks rather messy…. and rugged…. and looks to be abit of a bum, lol. 

But he’s oso clearly handsome and giving absolute golden retriever energy 🐕. He reminds her of her childhood pet dog, Momo. So she refers to him as dat… (?)

And so, instead of chasing him away, she just….. lets him stay over… (??)

…

ok….

.

So she goes abt her life normally the following day. Your average corporate day of dealing with work, colleagues and ermmm….. sexual harassment (!)

….

ok….

.

After a tiring day of work she comes home and just flops on the floor lol.

.

but ofc, he’s oso at home. So he spawns and goes:

oo hoo, dat is so sweet 😍

😺/ Woo I’d love if dat were me 🥺…… I wld love to greet my noona wif my aegyo….. hmmm wait, but only if she’s oso nice to me tho 👉🏼👈🏼  /😺

…

Later on we have a heart to heart scene, where we find out why our male lead is a 20 year old bum….

.

😺/ 20 years old? Oh no, I’m 23…. Am I too old ? Have I oready reached unc status? Will my fantasy noona look at me and think I’m too old for her….? /😺

.

Turns out he’s an aspiring dancer. But his parents didn’t like dat, and so kicked him out. As a result, he’s been living at ppl’s places + the streets since. Trying to make things work….

.

…. and then afterwards dis happens:

…

ok…..

.

Oso, here’s a line from the 2003 version by MatsuJun, lol:

😖🤦🏼….

…

😺/ Omo so cute! I wanna be an endearing, wholesome guy for my fantasy noona too 🐕 /😺

.

So our FL officially “adopts” the BL. And she does completely normal roommate things like…. feeding him (sometimes literally💀)…..

… and bathing him…..

wat 🙃….

😺/ Ok I wouldn’t wanna be DAT dependent lol. /😺

.

Ok I won’t deny. As extremely weird as dis show appears to be, the first episode definitely directly hits on some somewhat taboo fantasies I have. In an exaggerated way ofc…

…

😺/ But it’s so cute 🥰. I definitely need to watch more of it. All 16 episodes probably. While it’s still up on YouTube, anyways…. Then once copyright gets rid of it, gotta find it on Viu or some shit. Wif 500 ads per episode 🙄…

Oso I can’t tell anyone abt dis, they’ll think I’m a weirdo 😭. But don’t they noe I only like the underlying wholesomeness of it 🥺 /😺

.

Thank u weird Japanese manga writers for making weird shit dat ppl secretly like very much. My fantasies have never manifested itself in such a weirdly accurate, yet oso unhinged levels…. 😭 / 😻😺
