5 Valuable Lessons that Can be Learned from Cha Eun Woo's Drama, 'A GOOD DAY TO BE A DOG'

Kapanlagi.com - The drama A GOOD DAY TO BE A DOG currently airing on Viu and adapted from the webtoon of the same title is impressive as a light and entertaining drama. Moreover, this drama features handsome actors. It is told that Park Gyu Young plays the role of Han Hae-na, a high school teacher, who inherits a curse in her family. Every member of her family will turn into a dog if they kiss someone. The curse must be broken by kissing the same person, but when they are in the form of a dog. If this does not happen within 100 days, they will forever become dogs, just like Hae-na's uncle.

One day, while drunk, Han Hae-na accidentally kisses Jin Seo-won (played by Cha Eun Woo), a math teacher at the same school where she works. She thought Seo-won was Lee Bo-gyeom, the Korean history teacher she likes. The curse then affects Hae-na. Since then, every midnight until six in the morning, Hae-na transforms into a small dog. To break the curse, Hae-na must find a way for Seo-won to kiss her while she is in the form of a dog. She tries several times, but her efforts fail. The problem is, Seo-won has a trauma and is very afraid of dogs.

Behind this romantic comedy drama, there are actually wise messages. Want to know what they are? Read more in the following review!

1. True Love Accepts Sincerely

Viu

This curse makes Hae-na's family very cautious in their romantic relationships. They are always worried and hesitant to enter into relationships with the opposite sex. Hae-na had to lose her boyfriend because she was unsure if he would see her as a monster or not if he knew her story.

If they are lucky, they will find someone who loves sincerely without paying attention to the curse, just like Hae-na's mother found her father. Loving sincerely means accepting the loved one as they are.

2. Be Kind to All Creatures

Viu

Every living creature, including dogs, has feelings. Even if the dog is not a human being. Be kind because of good intentions, not just having hidden motives like Hae-na's teacher who cares for her students. On the contrary, do not do evil and feel powerful by stepping on weaker creatures. Instead, if you encounter a weaker creature, we need to extend a helping hand.

3. Don't Immediately Assume and Judge Someone's Condition

Viu

Jin Seo-won was initially thought to hate Hae-na because she always avoided her. Apparently, it was because Hae-na had an aura that made her feel comfortable. Hae-na always attracted the attention of dogs, so there were almost always dogs around her. Meanwhile, teacher Jin had a trauma that made him afraid of dogs.

Just like Hae-na who hid her curse story because she was afraid of being called a monster, Jin Seo-won kept her phobia a secret because she was worried about being called weird for being afraid of dogs, even small, cute, and non-aggressive ones.

Seo-won has experienced bullying that made her scared when she saw, let alone be near, dogs.

4. People Who Always Appear Cheerful May Hide Sadness

Viu

Have you ever heard that the person who laughs the most and the loudest might be the one with the deepest sadness? This is what happened to teacher Bo-gyeom. When at school and in the community, he appears to be fine, friendly, and cheerful. However, when the day ends, he chooses to be alone. Later on, it is known that he is a mountain god. This guardian of nature has great power, but he is always lonely because humans, even though they often pray for something from the god, will run away in fear if they know his true form.

5. Don't Curse Randomly

Viu

The curse experienced by the Hae-na family occurred because of a misunderstanding of the mountain god's curse. Since it has already happened, the mountain god was then punished to protect the cursed family's descendants.

Be careful with the words you speak to someone. Even though it may not be visible, sharp words, especially cursing someone with bad things, have an effect like a knife that hurts people's feelings. Just like good words that, when continuously spoken, can provide positive suggestions, bad words that are embedded in the mind can also provide negative suggestions.

Will the curse on Hae-na be successfully broken, meaning she will successfully kiss Cha Eun Woo? You don't have to wait until the end of the drama. Watch the continuation of Hae-na and Seo-won's story in the drama A GOOD DAY TO BE A DOG, only streaming on Viu!
