Momo a pet

Many people don’t want babies, they would rather raise pets. 

Many people call their pets “babies”.

Many people call their pets “honey”.

Many people treat their pets as babies.

Many people treat their pets as lovers.

Is it selfish to bring children into an increasingly over populated, environmentally devistated, resource depleated planet?

Are pets substitute for children or are children substitute for pets ?

Both kid and pet would be a nuisance but will a pet become drug addicted, alcoholic or ask you to buy a car?

If I treated my kids as pets, I just wonder whether I was the master or they were the master.

To breed or not to breed ?

What kind of pet do you like ?  How about a pet like Momo ?

I like both the comic and the J-drama versions.
A woman finds a man in a box in front of her home and takes him in. She jokingly says she wants to keep him as her pet since the man reminds her childhood dog. The man agrees. Later the woman discovers that the man is a dance prodigy. Complications arise when her old flame from college appears.

"Would you want to tell funny stories? Like… what about your first love? And your first time? ^^ ... Ok, ok, I know it’s difficult, so I’ll start, thus, you must listen carefully to my story, got it? ^^

“A Long time ago, in a certain kingdom, there was a princess who couldn’t shed tears.

"The princess who couldn’t shed tears was extremely beautiful, serious, and smart. However, because she wasn’t able to express her emotions very well, she was always alone in the castle.

"And one day, after the princess was dumped by a guy, she found a cardboard box with a dog inside on the way home. The dog was really a human, but because it was so happy to be rescued by the princess, he became a dog and came to live with her.

"He was actually planning on going home right away, but before he knew it, the dog came to really like the castle. Why? Because the princess who couldn’t shed tears, would shed beautiful tears, only in front of the dog.

"But right after that, there appeared a handsome prince before the princess.

"The dog was slightly shocked, but as long as he stayed a dog, the princess treasured him, so he decided to continue being a dog for a little while longer.

"One day, the prince finally proposed to the princess.

"The dog decided to go home. The dog thought: “Man, if only I was a real dog, I could have always stayed by her side.”

"The dog realized at the very end that this feeling was love.”

"What do you think? Was it interesting? I copied a little from The little mermaid, but… I… liked being Momo. The role was a little difficult… and playing it was sometimes painful… but I felt that however I was outside, whenever I came back here, I could be Momo, so I was happy. I was happy to be held by you. I liked you".

From “Kimi wa Pet”, episode 9.

There will be another remake of K-movie version.  Remake again ?
