That aside, I like it so far, then again, I like the manga, so it's no surprise that I like this drama. lol

Isn't it great that he can play different type of character ?
I guess it show his talent.

Yeah, it does, hence why I said, "I like that about him." Guess I worded it wrong. I like how he's serious, but the fact that he can act carefree and happy also shows how talented he is, imo.

I grew bored of this series too, but I grew bored after about five episodes despite what I said earlier in this thread. I prefer the manga.

She was about the right age, I think. Her name is Koyuki (just saw her in the drama I'm currently watching; Mr. Brain; she was in episode 2 as a guest along with Gackt). The actress was born in 1976. The drama is 2003. That would make her about 27, right? For the manga, Sumire's character is either 27 or 28. Jun, as Momo, was about the right age as well. Early 20s.

theres manga!?

Yeah. The drama is based off of the manga, which probably goes way beyond what the drama did since this series was 2003 and the manga ended in 2005 in Japan. The series finished in the states in 2008. Either way, that's why I checked out the live-action version. In the US, the title was changed from Kimi wa Pet to Tramps Like Us. I don't get why they just didn't do a direct translation and just say "You are my Pet" or "My Pet" or whatever.

There are some characters in the drama who don't exist for the manga, and the main one that comes to mind is the psychiatrist with the dog and his assistant.

I watched this drama a long time ago. I thought it was pretty good actually. It introduces the concept of a "parasite onna". Or basically women who regect Japanese female social norms by continuing their careers and marring later or not at all. The guy from Arashi is actually a decent actor in this I have only seen him in Hana Yori Dango and that was >.< The drama is a really unusal subject which I think makes it sooo interesting. Since the drama is so old im not sure where you can find it but I would giver it a 4 out of 5

Check out Jun in Gokusen. He was pretty cool for that too, although, for that, he was more serious compared to his goofy self for Kimi wa Petto.
