Among the show's unique elements is the concept that pets and their owners reunite in heaven, and that pets may take human form if they wish.

Choi Hee Jin portrays Sonya, the human form of Kim Hye Ja's character's deceased pet cat.

Because of Choi's unconventional look, her role has garnered attention, with fans comparing her to K-pop idols such as BLACKPINK's Jennie and NewJeans' Haerin, who both have cat-like features.

Social media users have praised Choi's visuals, noting the resemblance. Comments include observations about the "cat-like appearance" that aligns with Jennie and Haerin's well-known images.
