"A Good Day to be a Dog" is a lovely *TREAT* for avid Kdrama watchers who just want a nice romance Kdrama following a beautiful couple that have funny banter, extremely cute and butterfly inducing moments, and maybe a deeper, interesting plot as well. I was pleasantly surprised at how intimate, funny, passionate, and deep this show would be. 9.5/10.
There are some stereotypical plot points (dopelganger second life for this one), but this still feels very much like a "new wave" Kdrama in that each episode feels more purposeful and less like dramatic fillers to waste the audience's time and string them along. If you enjoyed Hidden Love, Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Twinkling Watermelon, you will love this. I'm hooked and I've still got 6 episodes to go (at the time of writing this I've finished episode 10).
The main leads have fiery hot chemistry, just give it a bit (episode 6-8). The kiss scenes are some of the best I've seen! No spoilers but I caught a glimpse of Eunwoo's tongue in there... scandalous!!
It definitely has the "written by a woman" vibes, and since it's based on a Webtoon, that checks out. Every episode more that has passed I've felt more and more like I was being handed a personal gift by the creators of this show, who clearly took time to understand what Kdrama watchers enjoy before setting out to make this. Again, I felt that with both Hidden Love and Hometown in similar ways.
Speaking of Eunwoo, this is his best acting work ever and I love seeing him shine in a role very literally tailor made for him, featuring serenading singing scenes, a fittingly reserved/shy but passionate and loving character, and always, always outfits that expose his glorious forearm veins. He is perfect, perfection in this, and his female lead is also perfect.
The side characters are interesting and lovable as well, and I've yet to be bored. I usually watch Kdramas at a bit of a fast pace (literally, I will increase playback speed sometimes), but with this, I've been taking my dear time and savoring it. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.
