"You Pet" is a South Korean film based on the popular Japanese manga, "Kimi wa Pet", by Yayoi Ogawa. The Yomiuri explains: "The manga, about a woman and a much younger man living together as a couple, was adapted as a TBS television drama in 2003. The popular TV series starred actress Koyuki and actor Jun Matsumoto, a member of the boy band Arashi".

Principal photography for the new movie will take place in Korea, with some highlights shot in Ibaraki. "We'd like to support movie productions to attract tourists from inside and outside the nation", an official of the prefectural government told the newspaper.
