A Good Day to Be a Dog Plot
The official synopsis of the K-Drama reads:
"An unpredictable fantasy romance between a woman living under a curse that causes her to turn into a dog when kissed, and the only one who can help her overcome the curse is a man who is afraid of dogs."
The show follows a high school teacher named Hae-na (played by Park Gyu-young). Her family carries an unspoken secret: the women in Hae-na's family have been cursed.
If one of them kisses someone, they transform into a dog at the strike of midnight and stay that way for up to six hours. After that, they return to their human self.
They continue turning into a dog every night until they get kissed by the same person while they are in their animal form.
Hae-na manages to avoid this by not getting kissed by anyone she dates. She accidentally kisses her colleague, Jin Seo-won (played by Cha Eun-woo), in a drunken stupor. The only problem is that Seo-won is scared of dogs.
It would be exciting to see how Hae-na manages to get close to Seo-won so he can kiss her again.
