YesAsia Editorial Description

Take Care of My Cat focuses on ordinary young girls who worry about the uncertainties of their lives. The endearing movie presents a group of people during different stages in their lives like Ji Young (Ok Ji Young) who dreams of traveling overseas to study, but doesn't have the money to fulfill her wish. Hye Joo, on the other hand, is working as an errand girl at a security corporation while studying English on a part-time basis and naively longs for only one thing, a plastic surgery that she believes will turn her into a successful woman. Follow the charming protagonist of this touching movie and find out what fate holds in store for them.

Professional Review of "Take Care Of My Cat (Hong Kong Version)"

May 30, 2003

Take Care of My Cat is a very genuine depiction of the relationship and life of five young women. It does not have any blatant twist, nor does it have any tear-jerking tragic element. The director simply handles the five characters in a sincere and sympathetic way.

After the five girls graduate from high school, they have different encounters. Hae-joo (Lee Yo-Won) works as an office assistant in a brokerage firm; Tae-hee (Bae Doo-Na) works for her parents and a poet for free; Ji-young (Ok Ji-Yeong) is jobless; Bi-ryu and Ohn-jo (Lee Eun-Ju, Lee Eun-Shil) stay together. While each of them has some unpleasant experience working in the society, will their friendship deteriorate?

Why is this film called Take Care of My Cat? Superficially speaking, the cat doesn't seem to relate to the story at all. It does not occupy much time in the film. However, if you examine this film more closely, you'll notice that the cat is in fact a very important motif. The cat symbolizes and summarizes the friendship of the five girls. The vulnerable yet solid personality of the cat reflects the unstable condition of their friendships. On the one hand, they are very good friends and their relationship is solid, on the other hand, they rely heavily on cell phone to communicate, the link is vulnerable and can break easily if the cell phone malfunctions.

As a matter of fact, the cat is also a metaphor of the five girls' personalities. They are active (Tae-hee), arrogant (Hae-joo), helpless (Ji-young) and adorable (twin sisters). All of these are the characteristics that are usually assigned to a cat. Therefore, to a certain extent, "take care of my cat" can also mean "take care of myself" implicitly.

Technically speaking, the soundtrack of this film is excellently produced by M&F. The cinematography is nice too. The comparison between urban and rural areas is brilliant. In terms of the cast, Lee Yo-won and Ok Ji-yeong stand out among the five actresses, while the twin sisters are also very cute and funny. Bae Doo-Na is the most renowned actress in the film, however, it seems that Korean directors always love to deglamorize their stars, like in No Blood No Tears, Jeon Do-Yeon is deglamorized by director Ryu Seung-Wan. In this film, Bae's role is not as attractive as the other characters. Nevertheless, her performance is still persuasive.

As a directorial debut, Jeong Jae-Eun has done a superb job. Perhaps she is a female herself, she can examine the subject in a very intimate and sincere manner. The depiction is sympathetic yet authentic. It is as if the director is revealing her own story to us. Although it is not a very entertaining flick, Take Care of My Cat is highly recommended for any Korean cinema lovers.

On the road to adulthood Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

"Take Care of My Cat" tracks the intersecting lives of five former high school friends from Inchon as they meander toward becoming adults. Two of them are twins who sell homemade jewelry on the streets. One distributes flyers promoting her father's business. One works as an OL for a financial firm in Seoul. And the fifth is an aspiring artist who hunts for work while living in impoverished squalor with her grandparents.

The movie provides no plot and, indeed, we don't really see much growth on the part of any of the characters. Instead, we see the strains in their relationships as the things they have in common (i.e., high school) wane in comparison to their differences. And we see them yearning in a directionless sort of way for something more in their lives, as they fight to hang onto their friendship.

In less skilled hands, this might make for an abstract and tedious film, but "Take Care of My Cat" avoids that pitfall by bringing its characters to vivid life. We become drawn into and engrossed by the movie simply because we recognize these people in ourselves or our friends.

Special mention must be made of the performance of Bae Du Na, whose big-eyed, sensitive appearance has a remarkably magnetic quality; you can't take your eyes off her. I also should give credit to the movie's intriguing soundtrack, comprised more of ambient sounds than of recognizable melodies; it sets just the right tone.

"Take Care of My Cat" will be warmly received by anyone who seeks a slice of real life on screen. I highly recommend it.
