The webtoon-based drama revolves around Jin SeoWon (Cha EunWoo), a math teacher who is deathly afraid of dogs and Han HaeNa (Park GyuYoung), a teacher at the same school with a family secret. That secret being her family is inflicted by a generational curse; if they kiss anyone, they turn into a dog at midnight for six hours. In order to break the curse, they must kiss the same person in their dog form and if they're unable to within a certain time frame, they remain a dog forever. HaeNa accidentally kisses SeoWon one day and their lives then become tangled together.

It's funny, heartwarming, and well worth the wait. But to go deeper into why this drama is so great, here's a few ways "A Good Day To Be A Dog" is capturing our hearts.

While the human connections and heart-fluttering relationships are great, this drama holds another appeal: its inclusion of adorable dogs. While this isn't the first time we've seen pets in a drama, they still provide a special serotonin boost for all.

Coming in a variety of shapes and sizes, these dogs are incredibly cute and have many viewers smiling like a fool all day long. Despite it being an effect of the curse, just like Han HaeNa, we would also like to attract dogs to our side wherever we might go.

3. Quirky Character Personalities

From SeoWon's fear of dogs to HaeNa's persistent actions, it becomes one of their many charms that has audiences falling for them in a heartbeat. Their polarizing personalities will draw you in and make you want to stay until the final episode.

4. Full Of Heart-Fluttering Romance
