A woman cursed to turn into a dog when she kisses the person she loves, and a man who is afraid of dogs due to childhood trauma, can they be lovers? "A Good Day to Be a Dog," a Korean drama boasting visuals as dazzling as its flashy setting, is introduced.

"A Good Day to Be a Dog" is a romantic fantasy drama that aired in Korea in 2023. It garnered attention with Cha Eun-woo, considered one of the most handsome celebrities in Korea, taking on the lead role.

Cha Eun-woo debuted in 2016 as a member of the idol group 'ASTRO' and concurrently pursued acting. He solidified his position as an actor through dramas like "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" and "True Beauty". Initially, he faced acting criticism, but through consistent work, he's become an actor known for both his looks and acting skills. In "A Good Day to Be a Dog," Cha Eun-woo plays Jin Seo-won, a high school math teacher who's afraid of dogs. Although calm and composed, Seo-won has a severe fear of dogs, a flaw that often leads to him being bullied. He encounters Han Hae-na, a Korean language teacher who works at the same school.

Unlike others who mock Seo-won's fear, Hae-na understands him. She harbors a secret: she's cursed to turn into a dog from midnight to 6 AM whenever she kisses the person she loves. To break the curse, she needs to kiss that person again within 100 days. One day, she kisses Seo-won and is cursed, marking the start of the main story.

Park Gyu-young plays Han Hae-na, cursed to become a dog. After debuting in 2016, she mainly appeared in supporting roles until she gained recognition through "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" and "Sweet Home" in 2020. She further expanded her acting scope by appearing in the sequel to the Netflix series "Squid Game," which gained global popularity in 2024.

Although a romance drama, the fantasy element of a cursed female protagonist adds a mysterious character who seems to know about the curse. That character is Lee Bo-gyeom, a Korean history teacher at the same school as the protagonists. Unlike Seo-won, Bo-gyeom appears friendly and outgoing. He observes Hae-na and Seo-won's relationship with an unreadable expression.

Lee Hyun-woo plays Bo-gyeom. He began acting as a child actor, appearing in various popular works and becoming recognizable to the public. As an adult, he's shown himself as a model for child actors who have grown up well, with appearances in films like "Secretly Greatly" and dramas like "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area".

"A Good Day to Be a Dog" is based on a webtoon of the same name. The original webtoon received a 10.0 rating on its platform, leading to the drama adaptation. Even before airing, the drama was a topic of discussion due to the high synchronization between the webtoon characters and the drama cast members.

Watching the drama with a focus on whether Hae-na can break her curse and find love freely, whether Seo-won can overcome his childhood trauma and continue his relationship with Hae-na, and what Bo-gyeom's true nature is will make the experience more enjoyable.

"A Good Day to Be a Dog," a sweet love story that will bring strength to those weary of the harsh realities, is available on Netflix, U-NEXT, Rakuten Viki, friDayVideo, Viu, and Wavve.
