A cat and dog cross the Rainbow Bridge and return to the terrestrial world in human form?!

Jung Woo lives alone. When he was twenty, a fatal accident robbed him of all he loved: he lost not just his parents, but even the pet dog and cat, Choco and Milk, whom he had raised since childhood. One evening, after returning home from work in his uncle's café, he is disturbed by two handsome strangers knocking at his door. To his disbelief, they claim to be Choco and Milk! They can prove it, however: and after hearing their memories of earlier times together, Jung Woo realises that he has indeed been visited by the two beloved companions of his youth, reincarnated in human form.

Choco and Milk settle themselves comfortably into Jung Woo's home, and the three once more enjoy the warmth and affection they have longed for since their cruel separation. But there are new dimensions to their resumed life together, and surprising discoveries to be made in the realms of friendship and love...

I totally forgot that I haven't finished to watch this mini drama yet. So, when I had a break from my office event at Solo, I remember about it and decided to watch it.

The Story

Choco Milk Shake told a story about Jungwoo who lost everything in life. Start from his parent, love, and also his dearest pet. One day, two guys appeared in front of him who claim to be his deceased pet--that come back alive in a human form. 

At first, of course Jungwo couldn't believe what Choco and Milk said. But, Choco--who used to be Jungwoo's dog, and Milk--who used to be Jungwoo's cat, tried their best to convince Jungwoo. 

One thing for sure, Choco and Milk come back alive to help Jungwoo. Even though they should risk their life in the afterlife.

My opinion

I found this mini drama on YouTube. I don't exactly remember how.. but this drama is so cute. Not that much cringe and the story is quite unique as a BL drama 

As from the premise, I totally intrigued. How does a pet reincarnation can help its owner? And well, how they can portrayed the life of Jungwoo with his two reincarnated pet is just believable.

I really appreciate how Lee Jaebin and Kim Seong Hyuk are able to portray the characteristic of dog and cat in a real life. Personally, I like Seonghyeok more. He really embodied cat's life on his personality. Tbh, he also more rational than Jaebin who becomes Choco.

Since this is a simple drama, the conflict is not that grande. It told us the story of Jungwoo who struggle to bear his loneliness in life. The purpose of Choco and Milk come back to his side is also clear, they just want Jungwoo to be happy.

Imho, the relationship that developed between Jungwoo-Choco and Milk-Uncle is just cute. But sometimes, I couldn't feel their intimacy. Even though I really grateful they are not cringe. 

Conclusion

Tbh, there isn't much thoughts when I  watched this drama. It's good to be watched for relaxing since the story is just cute and simple. Moreover, it's only 10-15 minutes per episode. Try to watch it to find their cute relationship.

6.5 out of 5 stars

Sincerely,
