MBC / Kpopmap

After months of waiting and eager anticipation, the webtoon-based K-Drama, "A Good Day To Be A Dog", has officially premiered. Starring ASTRO's Cha EunWoo, Park GyuYoung, and Lee HyunWoo in the leading roles, this drama can be described as a modern fairy tale about Han HaeNa (played by Park GyuYoung), a young school teacher who is cursed to turn into a dog at midnight after her first kiss.

The only way to break the curse is a true love's second kiss, albeit in dog form. However, that becomes nearly impossible when her first kiss is accidentally her cold and indifferent colleague, Jin SeoWon (played by Cha EunWoo), who has an incorrigible fear of dogs, instead of her warm and bright office crush, Lee BoGyeom (played by Lee HyunWoo). Now, on a mission to break her curse in hundred days, HaeNa attempts to get close to SeoWon, which inevitably leads to them opening up to each other, and a healing romance blooms.
