The wait is over! The extremely anticipated MBC Okay-drama adaptation of the webtoon “A Good Day to Be a Dog” by Lee Hye has arrived. Ever because the announcement of this mission, many followers from each the unique webtoon and the principle solid have been eagerly ready, relying on the times to lastly see on display screen Cha Eun Woo and Park Gyu Young as Jin Seo Won and Han Hae Na, respectively. There are undoubtedly many issues to stay up for on this drama; not solely is there the attention-grabbing fantasy plot but additionally the chemistry between the leads, who beforehand labored collectively in a TV business and left many wishing to see them engaged on a much bigger mission collectively. Fortunately, it got here true on this Okay-drama!

Without additional ado, let’s delve into the principle issues we undoubtedly liked from the primary two episodes of “A Good Day to Be a Dog” and a few issues that had been a bit of troublesome alongside the best way.

Warning: slight spoilers forward! 

LOVED: The excellent mixture of comedy, romance, and fantasy

The story has a recent and attention-grabbing plot! Though it is a romantic comedy with fantasy in it, the fantasy parts aren’t that exaggerated, nor does it appear to be that ridiculous to the purpose the place the entire drama is a joke. And although the romance just isn’t that current within the two first episodes, there are specific moments the place you possibly can clearly see there may be some curiosity from each the male lead Jin Seo Won (Cha Eun Woo) and feminine lead Han Hae Na (Park Gyu Young), akin to the primary kiss they share that begins the entire mess, or when Seo Won holds Hae Na’s head earlier than she falls whereas dozing off.

The excellent mixture of all these parts makes the episodes fly by, making you need extra. Since the principle level of the present is breaking the curse that makes Hae Na flip right into a canine, we are going to certainly see extra scenes the place these two will probably be getting nearer and nearer. Something so as to add to all this are the slight notes of thriller that trace towards the historical past instructor Lee Bo Kyum (Lee Hyun Woo) together with the emotive story behind Hae Na’s uncle, who sadly was a canine completely.

LOVED: A unusual feminine lead with a giant secret

As Han Hae Na herself mentioned it, everybody can have secrets and techniques of their very own, and in her case, that secret is a curse that has run in her household for generations, turning them right into a canine every time they kiss an individual. And it’s not solely figuratively—they really flip right into a four-legged animal, a minimum of from midnight till daybreak. This heavy burden has made Hae Na battle lots in terms of relationships, and it’s most likely the explanation behind her considerably odd persona round males. Nonetheless, this doesn’t imply she just isn’t a pretty, cheerful, and devoted instructor who tries her greatest each time.

However, when she is aware of her ex-boyfriend is getting married—and to none apart from her greatest good friend—she succumbs to the alcohol and makes a grave mistake: she has her very first kiss in 28 years. The downside? She confuses her long-time crush Lee Bo Kyum with Jin Seo Won, the person who apparently hates her to the core. As determined conditions require determined measures, she is going to use all of her charms and methods underneath her sleeve to make Jin Seo Won kiss her once more, this time whereas in her canine kind. Will the highway to breaking her curse flip right into a seemingly unimaginable mission, or will it not?

LOVED: The chilly but variety male lead who’s afraid of canines

It isn’t any secret that Cha Eun Woo is without doubt one of the most beloved idol-turned-actors of many, not solely in South Korea however throughout the globe, which is why it’s no shock relating to the nice expectation surrounding his comeback drama. His function as Jin Seo Won is certainly one thing to stay up for as his charismatic and chilly look offers Cha Eun Woo the prospect to show all of his handsomeness and charms.

However, what’s going to actually make you swoon is the lovable and sort facet of this character, which principally seems when he’s teased or startled, and even when he’s a bit of drunk. Something to notice as nicely is the depth inside his character since he has a harsh previous, not solely because of what looks like a trauma relating to canines, but additionally because of being a sufferer of bullying himself. As the plot continues, hopefully we’ll get to see extra scenes the place he reveals extra of his caring nature and to additionally see how his previous is resolved whereas he helps Han Hae Na break her curse.

LOVED: It is ideal for pet lovers

Dogs are amazingly loyal, clever, and loving creatures that deserve kindness and companionship as do all animals, and although it’s not the primary drama that depicts people turning into animals, this is without doubt one of the few dramas that offers a little bit of a glimpse into what animals must undergo in at this time’s world. If you have got a pet at house, that is your cue to get pleasure from this drama collectively.

As a canine lover myself, hopefully this drama can provide a bit of little bit of perspective about relationships with animals, because the male lead appears to have suffered from a traumatic expertise with a canine. It additionally offers the prospect to speak about how traumas and fears can grow to be one thing which have the facility to regulate our life and the way we must always have the prospect and the assistance to beat these fears.

HATED: The previous life cliché

It’s not precisely one thing to be hated, particularly as we get to see Cha Eun Woo as a good-looking guard in historic Korea—nonetheless, typically it’s type of predictable that the principle leads knew one another of their previous lives—or of their childhood in some circumstances. But since it might have one thing to do with the curse that has made Hae Na’s household undergo for thus many generations, we should see how this previous life connection works for them. For those that have learn the webtoon and have additional perception about this, please discover that in any adaptation there is likely to be some variations with a view to make the drama extra interesting or straightforward to shoot. Also, beware to not spoil something in regards to the plot for individuals who nonetheless don’t find out about it!

HATED: It is deliberate to have solely 14 episodes

There is nothing to hate about these first episodes of “A Good Day to Be a Dog,” however it’s noticeable that like another webtoon to Okay-drama diversifications akin to “A Business Proposal” or “See You in My 19th Life,” this drama is deliberate to have fewer episodes than most Okay-dramas. Though some individuals would possibly see this as a solution to make it fast-paced, for others this might imply dropping a part of the element within the story, or in any case that the plot may very well be enormously modified. It is plain that some comparisons will floor when you have got a beforehand accomplished work, on this case the webtoon, and likewise when one other mission from the identical writer has already been tailored to a Okay-drama. However, based mostly on the premiere, this new present has every thing it must be a giant success. For now, let’s hope this drama continues with the great work and fulfills all of the followers’ expectations.
