A Good Day to Be a Dog (2023) 오늘도 사랑스럽개
Directed by Kim Dae-woong, starring Park Gyu-young and Cha Eun-woo.
Han Hae-na (Park Gyu-young) is a single woman and she teaches at a high school. She seems to have an ordinary life, but her family has a secret. Due to her ancestor's fault, Han Hae-na's family has been cursed for generations. The curse causes her family, when they kiss someone, to turn into a dog at midnight for 6 hours. Afterwards, they revert back to their normal appearance. This transformation repeats itself every night until that person, in their dog appearance, kisses the same person. Due to her family's curse, when Han Hae-na meets a man for a potential romantic relationship, she asks that person to not kiss her. This usually leads the men to leave her. One night, Han Hae-na, who is drunk, accidentally kisses Jin Seo-won (Cha Eun-woo). He is a teacher at the same high school, but they are not even close as colleagues. Han Hae-na soon turns into panic mode and she keeps approaching Jin Seo-won for a chance to have another kiss. Meanwhile, Jin Seo-won has a fear of dogs because of something that happened to him when he was young. He is a teacher with good looks and charisma. He is popular with the students.

Just watched one-and-a-half episodes and the story premise is totally silly, but I'm curious how the story will develop. I also like both leads Park Gyu-young and Cha Eun-woo. It might be a bit too much that the female lead is basically stalking the male lead in order for him to go on a date with her, but it makes sense since who wants to transform into a dog every night? This is an ongoing series, only four episodes have been aired (the series runs 14 episodes), and though it's not my fave way of watching a K-drama (I prefer to binge-watch the series once it's finished), it'll have to do and I will watch another series in the meantime while waiting for the next episode. Stay tuned for more updates!
