It's my understanding that the Koreans do not have a lot of experience with dogs as pets, or with the concept of pets. It's only fairly recently that they have begun taking animals into their households as family members, at least that's what I've read. I am forced to conclude that, cartoons aside, they do not have a highly developed sense of what is cute and loveable in a real-life animal. For now, the fact that Mr. Pooh is small and furry will do for them.

Here's the "Official Portrait" version, which is cuter:

That's true. The dog looks alive in that picture! It's rather cute there.
P.S. Soju, is that the version you have a framed copy of on your desk?

Here's the "Official Portrait" version, which is cuter: I too think this version is cuter. The dog is actually doing something other than lazing around. But, in this portrait, the dog is Lala because of all the pink in the fur.

On my desk? Heck, I've got a big 24" x 30' up on my wall ;D Really though, I think Pooh/Lala is just a very old dog, and they wanted one that was not going to be distracting in the background. I saw one of those 'NG' shows once where they had a show with a young child who kept on vocalizing during a scene. And one time, in 'Who's My Love', little Joon is walking around in the background, opening a chest of drawers, until an adult nonchalantly grabs him. The same sort of problems would occur if Mr. Pooh was a more active dog. Mr. Pooh is quiet and stays put, which is probably what they want. [This is supposed to be a pic of Suk-hyun and Dae-jeong with Mr. Pooh. I can only see a fragment on my computer. Maybe you will have better luck ]

You're probably right, Mr. Soju. Let's hope he makes it to the end of the series! But if he doesn't, they can just put a sweater on a stuffed animal and sit him down in a box in the background, and bob's yer uncle.
