..”from a cat’s perspective”..
The best thing about Imaginary Cat is the character of Bok Gil.
She is
Not a human in fur.
Not a talking animal.
Only as smart as any normal cat is, and mainly interested in food and games.
Her running internal monologue is cheerful, plaintive, catty and cat-like and wildly funny.
…”from a cat’s perspective”…
The best part of Imaginary Cat is the character of Bok Gil.
She is
Not a human in fur.
Not a talking animal.
As smart as any normal cat is concerning food and playing with her person.
Her running internal monologue is cheerful, plaintive, occasionally catty, completely cat-like and wildly funny in counterpoint with her distracted owner’s life.
well then. lost a comment. reposted it and got the original back again?
Hi @IB, it’s good that you saved your original comment. It’s such a hassle to remember and re-do what we first submitted.
These 2-3 weeks, @pkml3 may not check in to see if any of us have lost our comments.
Did you see my suggested dates for the Pinocchio Rewatch? With @pkml3 away, I’m wondering if my comments can reach her on time, so that she’ll see it to open the thread.
@IF, yes she has the personnality of a cat, a bit selfish and distant sometimes. I already said that, but this little drama is the most cute and adorable I know. Everything else in it is very simple, nothing flamboyant, yet a bit of screenplay techniques used, as I could discover during the rewatch (didn’t look at that at first watch).
Hi @WE and @GB!
@GB, Yes I did see the dates, thanks for that. It was MonMor who asked but I didnt want to commit her so publically in case she changed her mind.
@WE, yes. I really dont like cinematic talking animals who talk like funny people. (metaphorically, enough in our daily lives I think?)
@IB, I kind of guessed it would be @MM. She can actually contact me on MDL as well to ask. I only wonder now that @pkml3’s away, whether the thread will be up according to the first Pinocchio Rewatch date.
Hi @WE @IB we can start NOW!!!
Hi GB and IF !!
So today’s episode is on the identity of Bok Gil.
JH can’t manage to make chicken soup for BG.
Hey @WE, so the cute girl goes a bit crazy and tries to get JH to give her his cat.
I’m 2 minutes late. T T
I was here, then I played a card game to wait, and just missed the exact hour. T T
@GB, yep, totally crazy.
Where is my cute, sticky and adorable girl?
She’s a absurd selfish monster now?
I was sneaking in online mdl. I will stay 2mins.
@WE I was watching he episode a bit ahead and almost forgot to check the time.
I’m 4 minutes in now with BG alone at home and happy to be left to do her own thing.
Gosh, he says her “continue to sleep and don’t wake up”, but considering some thematic of the story, now I find this line just beyond limits.
@WE I was thinking she looked much cuter all angry and with a much better neckline on her dress!
Is this a difference in gender perspective?
“From a cat point of view, I find her crazy”. ^^
@WE The vet wants to impress her that he’s capable ie he can get the DNA’s of BG and Haru tested to see if it’s the same cat.
Poor sap does not seem to know that other than BG and JH, cute girl does not seem to care much for anyone.
I caught the sweet dreams comment as being ironic — ‘delulu’ as it were.
Where is her corporation to step in and apologize to him?
@WE, sleeping without waking until she has the right dream is played for laughs in this episode, however it might be a light foreshadowing of a time when our main character is very sleepy.
It’s full makjang now, but with a DNA test for cat. 😂
The evidence is in a very cool flag-box. I keep imagining this is made by a bunch of friends and somebody just dragged this out of the back of his closet for the scene!
@IB @WE And so we have the issue of whether there’s proof that BG belongs to JH… and a parallel issue of whether there’s proof that the original comic-story JH made belonged to him or to the guy who stole the credit.
@E yeah makjang like being in a short version of a soap opera.
So they were supposed to be 3 friends, with the jerk.
I didn’t pay lot of attention to the dispute, then I can’t say if he really steal the manhwa.
Hae Gong is such a good friends over the triangle gimbap and the “da–“!
OUch! “never appear in front of me again”. 😣
Oh yes, now it’s clear, she made a 2nd same collar with a bell, but first one didn’t have a bell. Then NO PLOT-HOLE !
@IB for the longest time it remains just the ‘da…’.
Vet still wants to do the DNA test. Na Woo is upset not so much because of the cat but because JH tells her to not appear in front of him again.
Hmm. JS actually admits he took credit because he has no talent and because he thinks that JH can just ‘win another competition”? Instead the poor sap lives on gimbap….
I agree with Hae Gong, its time to take action.
He works Sooo Haaaard, and everything faaaalls. Ahaha, everything from other dramas but with a far lesser scale. 😋
Silly vet is so simple-minded. If you’re only interested in the cat and concerned about JH because of the cat then when I show you the DNA results, you won’t be concerned anymore and you’ll be interested in me! Poor foolish guy.
See..”I remember sausages, I am telling you!” …cat-mind knows whats important in life, besides long conversations on Yoo Seung Ho’s chest.
Na Woo lies about the DNA test, well at least she prefer the guy than to get back a cat, it’s nice.
@IB, in order to take action I guess JH needs proof.
The two collars are so similar that there’s proof already but JH is rejected it… then he’s thinking about it. But then the DNA will confirm it… only Na Woo will lie just so that she can get back to being friends with JH again.
Is lying about the test a mini-form of noble idiocy?…maybe not. It depends how stubborn JH is about da-….
@GB, so in parallel where is the proof of the ‘plagiarism’/appropriation of creative work under the guise of team production? That is a hard one.
@IB all well and good about sausages and how cats think, but I was told that sausages contain too much salt to be given to pets.
In some way, they already have a baby together. ^^
Also, I don’t know why the drama is called “imaginary cat”.
@WE, me too… the cat is not imaginary.
However hearing her voice is the imaginary part.
Yes about processed food, too much salt/nitrates for continuous consumption for both people and pets, but worse for little bodies. Pet owners are stupid occasionally.
It ends with a voice-over quite typical than the ones SJJ often use, on MOTA for example, suggesting something bad will happen, but told from the future. (VO FROM THE FUTURE YEAAHHH).
“it is enough just to be together” — with both girl and cat, while he settles in to work.
Did we ever see the webtoon? Is it about this story?
@WE too much sausage may have done something to poor BG.
JH’s voiceover: “Back then I believed that this moment would last forever without a doubt.” With a statement like that we know it augers ill!!!
Oh this was fun. Again.
Bye @WE and @GB! See you next week.
Bye IF, Bye GB. See you soon.
See you @IB and @WE!
Oh dear. I just realized cat-actors and dog actors must eat a lot of sausages.
LOL @IB. All for their art!
lmao, as usual!
Goodnight @GB
I put a note on imaginary at the front of the next installment.
@IB I saw your comment. I don’t recall either whether she was ever considered delusional for searching for a cat after 7 years.
