A Good Day To Be a Dog (2023)

Boring

Just 2 first episode was good but the rest was boring. Nothing intersting happen. Never make me waiting for the rest. I watched just bc I had read couple of episodes of this webtone and dropped it so was curious how they will end it but after of couple of ep it became a boring kdrama with auwful casting especialy the ML. The time of airibg?? Just 1 ep per week?? I thunk they don't have anyplans to how to end it. They were confued too. I really don't recommand it. It is just a waste of time. How could a kdrama could be this boring!!! I watched it bc of the FL after the celebrity kdrama but I wonder how she chosed this? Never have any hope for the ML.

Hard not to drop it in between...

First of all and worst of all was the airing schedule of this drama like one episode a week!! And to make it worse they skipped airing twice.
The recaps in the starting of the drama were quite helpful..so whoever is watching it is fully released don`t get frustrated.

Okay, now starting with the review...
This drama has a strong start and is really interesting in the beginning. I was so invested in it. Both Eun Woo and Gyu Young did pretty well and their chemistry was good too.
I loved Yun`s character too.
Until the curse was lifted up it was fun and lighthearted as I expected it to be.

Now the minus points~
After the curse was lifted I started feeling that the story was somehow getting stretched and boring. And the last episode was a pure example of this. Like it was a pure recap of first few episodes and full of flashback thing.
In addition they added a whole damn episode of amnesia thing which I personally hated a lot.

I think the historical thing was not boring and the story was quite good but the way they presented it with all the flashbacks made it looked boring.
The love story of Hae na`s sister and that vet seemed to be a interesting at first but was literally rushed at last when they could have given them more screentime.

And sorry but I felt so uninterested in the story of Hae na`s uncle...like the 'WOOF WOOF' he did was so stupid (sorry if you guys found that funny).

Overall the story was not that bad but the storytelling made it kind of worse.

The drama lost me after 8 episodes

This drama had a lot of potential and when it started it off I loved every bit of it. The cast and the chemistry and the storylines were perfect, initially

I loved the first storyline in this drama, the setup, buildup, and the eventual pay off was pretty good. The main leads were definitely cute and the side characters had enough depth ( not much of a story behind them ) to make them interesting.

But after wrapping the first storyline, the second storyline was just too long. The same set of scenes, dialogue and everything was thrown around multiple times. Towards the end I was skipping Soo much.

I really feel this drama could have wrapped up much earlier than it did.

Sorry, but it’s not good

I love both the main leads, esp Cha Eun Woo (who doesn’t??) but this drama just fell flat!!

It was interesting the first few episodes, then it got draggy, then it just got boring towards the last few episodes, like a bit necessary plot line cum trying to reach 14 episodes. Imagine after one year of dating (!!!!) they’re still trying to hide their relationship!! Does that even make sense? Great actors, they shld have chosen better scripts. As for the dog storyline, it was ok until it wasn’t. When the uncle was in human form but can’t talk and barking like a dog, that’s when I knew this was going downhill.

But the silver lining is, we get the visuals of CEW, and some nice kiss scenes ;)

And they called it puppy love

This is a highly anticipated drama that I am so satisfied with for once. I know the limitations that come with anticipation, and from the actors and all parties involved. I could either fully love or fully hate, this one I am stepping back and will just say that it’s not living up to expectations because I really didn’t have any.. but it’s actually really good.

for the first time in a while for me I’ve found a romantic comedy with an absurd idea but this time the drama does it right by going full comedy. This drama is truly a comedy and the ideas and scenes all meshing together make it a fun watch, and one where I still care about the characters and their relationships.

The music fits very well with the drama and so far the casting is perfect for me. The female lead has puppy like mannerisms in some scenes that I had to rewatch because she is too cute, Park Gyu-young is another actress I haven’t seen too much of. I hadn’t seen any romantic comedy of hers before but she is so fitting for this role. She has this energetic charm to her and her whole situation of being cursed is fun to see play out, especially how she got into that situation.

Cha Eun Woo is so wholesome and cute and I love him with all my heart. I can see his role developing and I’m looking forward to it. It’s not too much for him and he’s doing what he does, and I think that’s fine and I really enjoy it. He’s got this presence to him that is charming and lead male material, and he fills those shoes pretty well. Lee Hyun-Woo is finally back to a romantic comedy and is just how I remember him, a more matured and cute guy now-

This drama goes all in with its idea and doesn’t take it self too seriously. It balances everything nicely and I’ll add more as the show progresses, so far I’m looking forward to it and am so happy to finally have a good romantic comedy in 2023 that feels like a romantic comedy.

Untapped Potential in 'A Good Day to Be a Dog'

A Good Day to Be a Dog" offers an engaging story, yet there's a lingering sense that something crucial was missing, potentially in its direction. The narrative catches interest but doesn't fully satisfy, as if some key elements in the storytelling or progression were overlooked. This feeling of incompleteness leaves one wondering what could have been if these aspects were better addressed or given more attention.

Despite this, the main characters stand out remarkably, imbuing the series with charm and relatability. Their likable nature and dynamic interactions are the heart of the show, making it special and memorable. However, a desire for more depth and detail persists. Expanding on the characters' backgrounds, motivations, or the world they inhabit could have significantly enhanced the viewing experience, making it not just enjoyable but truly captivating.

started fun but ending awful

I had fun with this but then we had. lot of storylines that really weren’t resolved introductions to new characters and characters that were just disappearing. I feel like we could’ve gotten so much more if we had just let main couple just figure it out because tbh I wasn’t really worried about how they got cursed or why and it took so long to get that information that I didn’t care by the time I got it. The bully she got attacked by the sl it was crazy and the she fell of the face of the earth. He cursed his this girl and her family so they turn to dogs and truthfully he had no reason to cause she killed herself he fell of the face of the earth no apology. and he could’ve asked his wife about it when she shows back up as a teenager but he refuses to talk to her. it was so many villains popping and I still don’t know why one of them had beef with ml. I feel like we could’ve gotten the backstory first instead of a long pointless wait and it’d be more fun, we could’ve had the sisters ex boyfriend be a the main antagonist and maybe I would’ve enjoyed it more.

Started Out Great - Made Average by Past Life Story & Airing Schedule

This was one of my highly anticipated dramas of 2023 cause of the story & Cha Eun Woo. The downfall of this drama was its airing schedule (frustrating) & the past life storyline in last 4-5 episodes (complete snooze-fest). The drama starts off very well - with the mystery of the FL's dog curse, romance & comedy that plays out as she tries to break the curse with the ML & the supporting characters who add to the crazy, witty and cute storyline. They should have stopped it with the curse breaking & modern love story - cause the historical/past life was just unbearable. It was the same old story of revenge/past lovers/misunderstandings and executed very poorly (I literally 2x speed watched it).

❤️ What I Liked:
- Modern Storyline has a good mix romance, comedy & mystery (FL's dog curse, ML's fear of dogs & how they come together)
- FL's Acting is Amazing: even her human personality was dog-like which made it endearing, believable & not over-the-top.
- Main Leads have good chemistry & great visuals (making you scream internally at the cuteness)
- CGI was remarkable, one of the best technology + acting harmony!
- Support Characters are good, not overshadowing the main plot or leads but doing what they should: support & did it well!

? What I Didn't Like:
- Past Life/Historical Storyline: Complete snooze fest, did not even excite or intrigue me
- Past Life Characters: Because of the storyline, their presence seemed not required.
- Airing Schedule: It won't matter for the new watchers, but this was a very big factor cause the continuity was broken. So all the feelings that I felt - excitement, suspense, cute/happy were lost cause the wait was too long, frustrating.

⭐OVERALL:
- Good one-time watch, cause the plot is nice and delivered well (modern > historical)
- My rating is low cause it is not a earth-shattering-never-seen-before story + last episodes & airing schedule made it worse.
- Hence, 6/10 | Above Average Drama for me. Would have been a 7-7.5 had it aired more frequently, or binged it at one-go.

Doggy Dog World

Cha Eun Woo, a young and exceptionally handsome K-pop idol, proved his acting prowess in this engaging drama. I was charmed by his character, especially the humor derived from his fear of dogs, a sentiment I could relate to, particularly when it comes to large dogs. His portrayal resonated with me, showcasing a side I never expected from him. The authenticity of his acting, especially during the kissing scenes, left a lasting impression. While it was acting, the chemistry felt remarkably genuine.

Park Gyu Young, although cute and commendable in her performance, seemed to lack complete chemistry with Cha Eun Woo, leaving a slight gap in their connection for me.

The adorable dogs added a delightful touch to the narrative, with one support actor delivering convincing barking sounds. The overall set and storyline were praiseworthy. My gratitude extends to the cast, writers, and producers for their contributions to making this KDrama an enjoyable experience.
