Quick recap: The protagonist, Han Hae-na (Park Gyuyoung), accidentally kisses her colleague Jin Seo-won (Cha Eun-Woo), triggering a curse that transforms her into a dog from 12 am to 6 am every day. The only way to break the curse is for the same person to kiss her while she’s in her dog form. If this doesn’t happen within 100 days, she’ll be stuck in her dog form permanently. The biggest problem? – Jin Seo-won is terrified of dogs and runs in the opposite direction whenever he spots one. To make matters worse, Han Hae-na “dogerella” secret is almost exposed as Seo-won’s nephew sees her turn into a tiny doggy.
Episode three was charming, humorous, and lighthearted, with the episode’s highlight featuring an adorable dog named Mandeuk, who spends a day at Han Hae-na’s school and gives Seo-won nightmares in daytime. The screenplay is bright and comical, with several scenes featuring the cute Mandeuk, who simply naps or runs towards food for most parts. There’s a brief flashback to a different historical era to build some intrigue, but viewers still don’t have the full story on what the dog-curse is all about.
In this part of ‘A Good Day to be a Dog,’ a slow, sweet romance is steadily developing between Han Hae-na and Seo-won. Instead of their earlier awkward interactions, the two characters are finally on the path to building a warmer bond. Now that Han Hae-na is aware of Seo-won’s acute fear of dogs, she tries to save him from Mandeuk in this episode and ensures nobody finds out about his weakness. Park Gyuyoung’s comic timing as Han Hae-na is amusing, and she pairs well with Cha Eun-Woo, who plays the dashing teacher with quite the crush on her.
Han Hae-na’s efforts to protect Seo-won from his canine phobia create moments of laughter and endearment. With Park Gyuyoung’s fantastic comic timing and Cha Eun-Woo’s charismatic portrayal, the show keeps us eagerly anticipating what’s in store for this couple. As the dog-curse mystery deepens, we can’t help but wonder what the future holds for these characters and their unusual predicament. This K-drama series keeps its viewers hooked, so watch it if you are looking for a delightful mix of laughter and romance.
