The situation becomes complicated when her male boss begins to develop feelings for this "boy."The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince (Korrean) - very amusing and cute tv series - everybody assumes a girl is actually a guy and she's offered a job as a gay pretend lover and afterwards as a "Prince" (aka gorgeous) waiter at a coffee shop
- CreatorYayoi OgawaStarsKoyukiJun MatsumotoSatomi IshiharaA dejected woman finds an unconscious man resembling her former dog and takes him in as a "pet", forming an unexpected bond as they overcome obstacles together, raising the question of whether such love can exist.You're my pet (Japan) - based on a very good manga about a succesful woman that can't be less than "perfect" around anybody and (therefore) can't manage to keep any boyfriend. She adopts a stray that reminds her of her childhood dog, but the twist is that the dog is actually a pretty young man (who happens to be a balet dancer). She really just sees him as a dog (that can talk) and it gets a bit frustrating as he grows to like her a lot... :)

- DirectorByeong-gon KimStarsKim Ha-neulJang Keun-sukRyu Tae-joonEun-Yi (Kim Ha-Neul) works as an editor for a fashion magazine. She keeps failing in relationships with men, but doesn't get along with her colleagues. In-Ho (Jang Keun-Suk) was a promising ballet dancer. Two years ago he lifted a female dancer, but dropped her on accident. Because of this accident the woman was unable to dance any further and, now, In-Ho won't dance with women anymore. In-Ho now hopes to become a musical choreographer. Unfortunately for In-Ho, he doesn't have a place to stay. He goes to a bar where his friend Eun-Soo (Choi Jong-Hoon) works. Later that night, Eun-Soo takes In-Ho over to his older sister's house (fashion magazine editor Eun-Yi). When Eun-Yi arrives at her home, she walks into the bathroom and sees someone brushing her teeth. As she walks by she pats him on his rear end, assuming the guy is her younger brother Eun-Soo. When the guy turns around she's shocked that it is a complete stranger. Eun-Soo then asks his older sister Eun-Yi if In-Ho can stay at her place temporarily, telling her that he's really good with household chores. Eun-Yi disapproves of the idea, but that night Eun-Soo accepts money from In-Ho to stay at her sister's place. The next evening, on a rainy night, Eun-Yi walks home and finds a large blue box on front of her home. When she looks inside of the box she's shocked again to see the guy the from the other day, In-Ho, sitting in the box. Ji-Eun brings sopping wet In-Ho into her apartment, while she tries to contact her younger brother. Her younger brother doesn't answer her calls. Oddly enough, In-Ho reminds Eun-Yi of her former pet dog Momo. Eun-Yi then comes up with an arrangement. She will let In-Ho stay at her apartment if he will become her pet dog named Momo. As they become more familiar and comfortable with each other, Eun-Yi's first love Cha Woo-Sung (Ryu Tae-Joon) comes to her office looking for her .(Korean) another version of "Kimi wa Petto" with the "pet" being played by the actor from "Minami Shineyo" (where he also was the main love interest). I liked the Japanese version more, but this one is also cute.
