Jang Geun-seok as Kim Haneul’s pet
by javabeans
How cute is this official promo poster for You’re My Pet? My first reaction was to Awww at the cuteness… and my second was to belatedly realize that things are looking… a little… risqué there. Rawr. In more ways than one.
I feel like a broken record about this movie, so here’s the nutshell version of the plot: Kim Haneul is a successful careerwoman who’s unlucky in love. She encounters Jang Geun-seok, and decides to take him in as her pet-friend-housemate. Romance develops.
The movie, based on a Japanese manga/drama, also has a projected release date and is now planning to be in theaters in November.
Also: I knew Jang Geun-seok was a cat man! Everything about his look is admittedly sort of awful (unruly curls, frilly shirt, cuffed jeans), but somehow he just looks adorable despite it all.

The background, yes, but him under her legs... I think not.
There is a shadow from his hand curving around her leg that's really hard to photoshop properly (Our left, his right). Also it's difficult to photoshop gossamer fabric over someone to that degree unless they took really, really high res pictures. Also the problem of getting the wrinkles right on the dress around the shoulder--it's just cheaper to place him under the legs for the shoot than fake it.
The only thing is that because the figures are chopped out, they forgot to add back some of the shadows (underneath her) and also from him. Particularly on their right side, our left. This is most likely because they shot on a white background for the photoshopping, but the way that shadow reacts against wood is slightly different than a white background. (You have to fiddle to get it right--it's not a pure multiply or a color burn.)
The floor and the background I'll bet are fake.
=P Graphic design classes came in handy. Who knew?

Think its her legs or her body have been " stretched or something " to make her look very tall. I know she is tall and she have great legs but i think they apply magic there coz JGS is tall too. Newe, Im not good in those things but poster is cute. Let us see what will be the next poster. Other mention that they will have a new one because of some complains.

Most likely the cellulite was taken out as per tradition. And some skin smoothing was done overall.
She's in proportion, but notice the slight up angle elongates her legs. That's the photographer squatting down rather than photoshop. If you count, she's about 7 heads tall. 6.5 with the heels. Without the angle she's about the average heads height for a woman.
Also the majority of men I know are long in the leg, not in the waist... He's bending forward to some extent too.
But yeah, don't doubt smoothing on the legs and face. They do that everywhere. (It's so us regular women feel inferior. ^.~)

=P Wrong Country. It should be Mianhaeyo. You don't know how old the other people are so it goes to Jeonmal. Though in Japanese it would be gomen nasai at the least for the same reason.
Japan and Korea aren't interchangeable... so neither should their languages be abused so... though you probably weren't thinking when you posted.

He does look like a cat, but in the original she adopted him as a dog, which led to a lot of over excited jumping on the owner when she returned from work.
Cats tend to be a little cooler in their response. . .

ha ha yeah, that was MatsuJun's character - she found him like a wet puppy.
i'm excited for this, eventho i know in my heart i'd be comparing JGS with MatsuJun. but since I love JGS, i think he can do no wrong. as for Kim Haneul, i'd have to accept it eventho i wanted Soo Ae for Koyuki's role. she would've been perfect, more regal-looking that KHN.

I think its kind of cool that they've given him a different kind of 'pet' to embody though, it means he can try new ways of acting petlike outside of the awesome puppy cuteness that MatsuJun (somehow?) managed to pull off. Cos the jdrama was really a pretty good adaptation, i'm looking forward to seeing them try something new with this movie.

September 5, 2011 at 6:37 PM
Yeah, that's true. It'll be interesting. I love cats and having a cat-like guy is totally one of my fantasies. Cough.
But him being a dog really defined their relationship. You can't order a cat around, really, or give it baths, or tell it to sit. You can definitely cuddle a cat, but they mostly like to do things on their own terms. Him being a cat would change their dynamic entirely. It wouldn't be, for lack of a better way to put it, Master/pet. Or maybe he'll be a really submissive cat...
Might still be good, but I'm a huge fan of the Kimi wa Pet manga and its drama, so I'll probably be a bit annoyed after I seem, even if it's good.

I'm not one to comment on people's weight, but did JGS gain a bit of weight or is it just me????? He was looking a bit sallow in MSOAN, but it's understandable under all the stress a live shoot brings.
but he looks healthy and happy in the previous pictures. and in this one ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE. CAN YOU BE MY PET JGS????? ^(>.<)^

And to think JGS improv a bed scene where he nearly strips nekkid fitting his real life bed habits says a lot how he's too comfortable w/ something or someone. *shifting eyebrows*

LOVE KHN in this poster shot! Not a JGS fan, tho - he's way too girly for me to fangirl over but I must admit that his hair looks kinda okay here. Anything is an improvement over that long, lanky look he usually sports.
Tried watching the J version of Pet - was totally skeeved out by the whole thing. It's too bizarre for me and I'm usually open to 90% of what I watch.

Ditto!
I watched the Jdorama too, but finished only until episode 4... Matsumoto Jun is definitely a higher/cuter breed of pet than JGS, but I think he'll do just fine =D

Either she is an amazon or they used something to prop her up. JGS is actually very tall but you would have to be at least 7 feet tall to straddle his head like that. I am excited about this though I hope they go a little risque because it was meant to be that kind of story.

Think her legs are photoshopped. I know she have great legs but it's noticeable. JGS is tall too. Her body is not proportion anymore. If you will take out JGS underneath and have her only in this pic, she will have very long legs but upper body part would be " short" lol dont know what word to choose. Ive heard they will be releasing a second poster because of the some -not so good comments- about the "provocative" poster.
