Catman

Catman follows Liang Qu, a stylish, self assured man who carries a surprising secret: he is half cat, half human because of a spell gone awry. His cool distance hides a warmth that can mend a broken heart. He crosses paths with Miao Xiaowan, an honest, confident app creator who translates meows into messages. She built a device that helps humans understand cats, turning cat language into usable communication. When their lives collide, a gentle magic threads through their days, blurring lines between animal and person. The story leans on witty dialogue and visual humor as Qu learns to act on feeling instead of fear. Their unlikely partnership reveals that empathy can bridge species and circumstance without losing charm altogether.

Park Hee-kon directs Catman, a romantic fantasy built on an original script rather than a pre existing source. The film teams Song Weilong, Sehun, Janice Wu and Xu Ke in a witty blend of magic and modern romance for audiences.
