Um Bom Dia Para Ser um Cachorro (2023)

Drama de comédia romântica para passar tempo. É um conceito fantasia, meio histórico (mais se passa nos tempos atuais), romance e comédia. No começo esse drama me prendeu e super acompanhei os últimos lançamentos (até por que decidi assistir quando a maioria já estava lançado), e foi uma boa escolha, até por que não entendo o porque de lançarem apenas um episódio por semana e serem apenas 14 episódios.

Enfim, falando sobre os personagens eu gostei muito dos principais e dos personagens laterais.

Gostei bastante da dinâmica da personagem principal se transformar em cachorro depois de ser beijada (?), por que sinceramente nunca vi algo do tipo! haha

E também gostei bastante da forma que eles demonstraram a época dos namoros dos principais, e o romance entre professores. Muito fofo!

A parte histórica foi bem necessária para explicar o contexto, mesmo depois de ver muita gente reclamando sobre, mas como os reclamões saberiam sobre como começou a maldição da família e como ela acabaria? É necessário na maioria dos dramas e nessa foi super.

Uma coisa que me incomodou assim como várias pessoas como percebi, foi esse último episódio. Teve bastante flashbacks desnecessários e umas histórias um pouco nada a ver com nada, esperava ver mais do namoro deles do que o que já tivemos, mas a parte mais romântica. Também, que pena do tio dela, meu Deus do céu! Como tudo acontece com esse homem! hahahaha. Na minha opinião, o último episódio não foi bom, mas também não foi ruim, foi estranho. Esperava um pouco mais.

Aliás acredito que as cenas de romance foram muito bem feitas pelos protagonistas, a atuação do Eunwoo pelo menos na questão de beijo e química melhoraram muito e espero muito mais dele nesse quesito.

Sendo o meu primeiro drama com a Park Gyu Young sendo a principal totalmente, fiquei feliz pois sempre gostei da maioria dos seus trabalhos então acompanhar um drama de comédia romântica (que são meus favoritos), me fez muito feliz.

Gostaria muito de ver outros trabalhos dos protagonistas juntos, acredito que poderiam mostrar muito mais, principalmente sobre a química deles.

Caiu na previsibilidade

Acabei assistindo a esse drama como uma pesquisa a mais para o livro que estou escrevendo. E no geral... é uma bagunça.
Fiquei mais interessada no plot Histórico e no Deus da Montanha do que naquilo que vim procurando. Admito que o BoGyum acabou sendo meu personagem favorito, a construção do mistério e a tensão ao redor do seu personagem me cativou.

Entretanto, no fim, o plot da vingança dele pela morte do seu primeiro amor acabou no que eu mais temia, o desentendimento.
Na verdade os ancestrais do casal não mataram ela, e ele não viu porque ele olhou pro outro lado por 5 segundos. Achei uma coisa tão clichê, do tipo "eles são o casal principal, não podem ser do mal".

Acabou invalidando o luto do BoGyum e deixaram pra trás uma grande oportunidade de um desfecho inimaginável. Os ancestrais do casal poderiam sim ter entregado a mulher, o que levaria a sua morte, e o drama teria se voltado a tentar redimir o SeoWon e a Haena pelo simples fato de que eles não são seus ancestrais e toda a dor que a família da Haena passou com a maldição já pagou pela morte do primeiro amor do Deus da Montanha (só uma ideia, mas a execução seria bem mais elaborada). Mas essa história escolheu "apontar"pra um vilão.

Os últimos 4 episódios eu tive que ver em 1,.75 de tão enrolados que eles eram. Ao invés de ser 14 episódios, o drama poderia facilmente ter tido somente 10. Não li o Webtoon, espero que no Webtoon eles tenham elaborado melhor isso. Não necessariamente fazendo como eu faria, mas pelo menos sendo um pouco diferente dos demais.

não é um bom dorama... mas é um dorama!

não consegui me conectar com os protagonistas de jeito nenhum, muito menos acreditar que eles realmente estavam apaixonados. o culpado disso claramente foi o enredo bobo, infantil e sem originalidade. simplesmente patético o enredo do natimorto que reencarna num cachorro, só não é pior que o protagonista adulto levando um apavoro de um maluco imitando cachorro no meio da rua. já vi doramas de 10 episódios desenvolverem melhor um relacionamento sem precisar utilizar de artimanhas tão batidas. eu sou fã do clichê que funciona, o que não é o caso aqui já que insistiram em usar os piores e mais irritantes recursos: falhas de comunicação ridículas, personagens tomando decisões estupidas e interrompendo diálogos importantes por pura conveniência do roteiro (que sequer se dá ao trabalho de procurar meios convincentes para isso). não bastasse todos os pontos supracitados, insiste em criar paralelos com as vidas passadas dos personagens onde podemos ver os mesmos problemas de desenvolvimento e criatividade presentes na linha do tempo atual. não contentes em criar uma história ruim, se dispuseram a criar duas!

Poderia ter sido mais se tivessem feito pequenas mudanças

Não vou mentir, achei o final xoxo... Poderia ter sigo um pouquinho mais empolgante não é?
E acho que o que quebrou o drama também foi a questão de um episódio por semana, não entendi porque fizeram assim.
Mas gostei do drama, ele foi engraçado e fofo e apesar do drama todo da maldição eu gostei
Pra mim foi legal ver a química do Eunwoo e a Gyu young, como casal foram fofos e entregaram muito! Gostei bastante e a OST foi a melhor pra mim.
E pra mim foi quase impossível sentir raiva do hyun woo, com essa carinha de cachorro que ele tem e consegui pegar o mal entendido que teve na vida passadsa deles, então não fiquei com raiva, não tinha motivos...

Okay!… but a little disappointed

Cha Eunwoo is one of my favourite celebrities, and I was no doubt excited for this drama ever since it was announced. However, as a reader of the original webtoon, there are a few issues I had with the drama.

I’ll firstly start off with the many things I enjoyed about this drama:

The first few episodes were genuinely interesting and executed the story in a fun, witty manner. The production quality was top notch and the mix of CGI and real life action for Haena’s dog form was hilarious! The pacing for the series was engaging and I even rewatched the first few episodes while I waited for new episodes.

While people like to complain about Eunwoo being typecasted, he played his character very well and it remained true to the original character depicted in the Webtoon. Actually, I was surprised how he managed to make Seowon cuter! But I guess that is very possible when played by Cha Eunwoo hehe. And don’t get me started on those kissing scenes !! Hoyyy do you want me dead, Eunwoo!?!!?

Park Gyuyoung has become one of my favourite actresses after this series! She was very funny. It was a bit of a 180 compared to the last time I saw her in Celebrity. But she looked so warm and amiable in her light brown hair!


Now… while I did enjoy the series for the most part, I must now complain.
As I had been anticipating this drama for over a year before its release, I was not happy to hear that it would only have 14 episodes. And even worse, they were going to air once a week.
Um… Okay. Can’t be that bad right? Wrong.
I can imagine it would be much more enjoyable to binge this series, however, watching it while airing was exhausting considering the first few minutes of each episode would be a recap of the last. Like thanks! I totally forgot what happened during the single episode you gave me last week.

And to make matters worse, there was the repetition of the typical Kdrama MONTAGE! That’s right. They did it almost every episode to remind you that indeed the main characters looked at eachother 4 episodes ago. And yes.. they KISSED 2 episodes ago… Oh and remmeber that time they went to the park!??.. SUCH A WASTE OF SCREENTIME. It is just such lazy storytelling.

In the Webtoon, we got more insight to Seowon’s family, yet in the drama we literally don’t know anything about him. No, seriously. Instead we got almost 2 whole episodes of the most BORING historical backstory flashback in the history of fantasy Kdramas. The romance was cute between their past lives.. But I can’t believe they decided to change Bogyeom’s character that much… He was so irritating here.

The last 4 episodes of this drama were a snooze feast. I literally used to rush to watch this every Wednesday night as soon as it was released but there came a point where I dreaded it because I do not wanna know about some petty God’s tragic love story…

Basically. If you’re gonna make a Kdrama adapted from a Webtoon, don’t make it worse than the original?! There were SO many opportunities to make it better, instead we got the same montage over and over.. ITS TIRING.

If I wasn’t a Webtoon reader I’d probably be okay with this drama. However, having the original plot in mind I had the bar set higher but the drama was just too much of a disgrace for me.

Modern Day > Historical

I’m trying to review this without taking into account the horrible airing schedule this drama got, but it’s hard. So just to get it out of the way, I just want to say that the one-episode-a-week format (plus some skipped weeks) definitely did not do this drama any favors.

With that being said, while the airing schedule didn’t help, I think I fell out of love with this drama as it went on for several other reasons as well.

I think there was a really strong start and I was really invested in the story when it first started; the tension between Haena and Seowon was great as they cycled through the different relationship dynamics: unrequited love, Haena having to hide her secret, growing feelings, etc.

When the drama started covering the backstory behind Haena’s dog curse, I unfortunately realized that I just didn’t really care for the saeguk/historical subplot. The characters felt really distant and disconnected from our modern day characters, I felt no emotional connection to the “past lives” theme, and the reason for the curse itself was kind of anti-climactic (and yes, I felt the same way when I read the webtoon). Overall, I just enjoyed the more grounded, modern day plot better, and I didn’t really care for the side characters who were related to the backstory either.

As a result, I found the overall plot with the second lead intriguing until the actual reveal and watching it play out. I enjoyed the tension better than actually seeing what happened.

In terms of the amnesia arc, I don’t think it was super frustrating and I didn’t hate it, but amnesia is still one of my least favorite tropes simply because it feels random — we already know the story is never going to end with it, and the logistics of it very rarely make sense anyways.

Even with a few angsty arcs, on the subject of acting, I enjoyed many of these actors in other things but I don't really think this drama showcased any of their acting chops well enough, in part due to the feeling of low stakes, and in part due to the rom-com nature of the show.

Ultimately, I think you can say that this drama was paced well. Unlike many dramas, it doesn’t fall into the trap of leaving too many things unsolved at the last minute. Unfortunately, it seems to have the opposite issue where the last episode feels just like a filler episode because the main plot is already wrapped up, but overall it’s still a light-hearted, decent watch.

Weirdly interesting

I hesitated so many times before starting this drama because the storyline was weird. A girl turning into a dog but a huge turn off for me. But being a fan of the main leads, I finally started. Still, I find it weird but I like how events are unfolding. It's that kind of drama that would make you laugh or smile all through. I like how romantic feelings between Seo Won and Hae Na isn't rushed. Things are happening at a slow pace as they spend sweet little moments together.
The little suspense around Hae Na's attempt to break the curse really does it for me. I keep wondering if she'd be able to do it. Also, till now, I still don't know whose side Bo Gyeom is truly on and I hope to see in the subsequent episodes.

At least this show is not a dog . . . technically

Ok, it pains me to say this but this review will sound like I'm damning it with faint praises.

On the positive column, I wrote handsome OTP, nice chemistry and a decent amount of skinship that doesn't look fake. Some swoon-y moments. Cute dogs.

On the other hand, the A-plot is tropey, same-y. There are awkward and cringey moments and its fair share of plot holes.

However, overshadowing all that is the stretching of the main plot to its limits. When you consider once the OTP comes together, the writer-nim gave us one ep of fan service then parachutes in the old amnesia trope for our edification. It totally killed any forward momentum.

If that is not enough, we also get a couple of eps of historical reenactment, Joseon Style. This is on top of a decent sprinkling of recaps throughout the Show. It is like a trail of breadcrumbs. There were minor twists in the final cut, but they are not shocking. To be honest, you probably have already foreseen it if you know your dramas.

So, we have Fate, sacrifices and an ancient curse, what I'd like to call the three horsemen of k-dramas. It is serviceable but it walks a well-worn path.

The show can still be lifted with a strong finish. Alas, the Show delivered something that is, once again, agreeable but hardly inspiring. Ergo, the curse was lifted with minimal fanfare. The antagonist just disappears without so much as a "Oops, my bad". Oh, the pain suffered by generations of the FL's family. The injustice of it all!

The last ep is total fan service but it doesn't quite stick the landing either. The HEA ending is never in doubt. Everyone gets something, Oprah style. It is cute how they retold the OTP romantic journey in a different context but once you see past the gloss, it is just a storyboard with a highlight reel. Changing the wrapping doesn’t make it a new gift.

Acting is serviceable (where is my thesaurus?) The comedy side is well handled by the cadre of experienced actors in support. The OTP managed the light and fluffy stuff just fine but when the going gets heavy, they can be found wanting. It is par for the course though. BTW, maybe it is just me, but the FL's Joseon character just doesn't feel natural.

This Show is a light and fluffy cloud with a dark lining. It is watchable, undemanding and will occupy your time. A pair of rose tinted glasses will help as well. A one-time watch for me. Peace out.

Please, for the love of all that is holy, pick a genre and stick with it!

I'll start with what I liked:
-the kisses. Let's call them for what they were, "fire"! After watching multiple shows with open-eyed, slack arms, dead fish kisses, these were exactly on point. These are the scenes that I rewatched, and the only reason I actually gave this a rating of 5.
-the acting was good, for what it was. I loved Park Gu Young in Dali and the Cocky Prince, and I liked her in this as well, though I didn't really love her character that much. When she kept trying to get him drunk (I'm so tired of drunk scenes), I found her to be irritating. Cha Eun Woo was basically like he's been in everything I've seen him in. Quiet whispery voice, serious. You could play this show and True Beauty side by side and get what I mean. Everyone else did an okay job.
-family and friendships
-happy ending

Then the stuff that I didn't like.
-Thankfully, I waited for all the episodes to be released before I tried watching this. If I hadn't, I would have given up early on. I think the programmers did a disservice to this show by making it so long to be finished, between an episode once a week, to pre-empted episodes. That being said, this show was entirely TOOOOO long and very repetitive. My Viki showed it as having episodes 0-15. Episode 0 and episode 15 were the same, basically a recap of what the show was about. After watching episode 0, I kept having feelings of Deja vu while watching episodes 1-4. Then there was the recap at the beginning of every episode, and the mini recaps throughout to remind us of what has been going on.
-This show shifted and lost its footing halfway through. Started out as a comedy, with the potential to be cute and quirky. Then it shifted to bullying and its effects, then it went to revenge melodrama with the mountain god. It should have been either a comedy or a melodrama but should not have tried to mix the two. I don't think it was successful.
-The whole mountain god storyline was completely unnecessary. It seemed so over the top melo after watching funny scenes. This storyline took up a lot of screen time, and I didn't enjoy it, especially since he had cursed this family and done terrible things and there were no consequences for him. That REALLY irritated me!
-This scene really stuck out to me, and I had a hard time getting past it - whenever the woman turns into a dog, her clothes drop and she has to have friends get her clothes to her because she's naked when she turns human again. In the scene where he kisses her and lifts the curse, she turns human and is completely dressed. Why?! This would have been a great opportunity to throw in some comedy by having her be naked as usual.

Normally, if I like a show less than others, I'm usually in the minority and say give it a try, you might like it. I have reservations here, unless you make the FF button your friend. I can't remember the last time I watched a show that was so repetitive.

Cute but struggled with balancing the genres

I said it before: The award for the worst airing schedule goes to ... A good day to be a dog
Firstly, before I started the drama I thought the synopsis sounds really ridiculous. Or I thought there was no way to execute this on TV without making it seem ridiculous. Something like this would better left as a webtoon. Surprisingly, it was way better than I thought.

Things I Liked:
- The story sounds silly, but they executed it quite well. It was cute.
- The characters were likeable and the main couple was enjoyable
- I like the mountain god. I know he is hated. But the story was getting a little bit boring. It might just be that I started to be a fan of Lee Hyun Woo. His acting is excellent and I love his expressive eyes. I hope he gets a new main-role soon. His love story in the drama was quite enjoyable.
- At times it was actually hilarious and it was entertaining
- Btw... Eunwoo's acting has gotten better, and his delivery felt more naturally. I still think there is still a long way to go. But his acting does not pull you out of the story

What I disliked:
- The airing schedule! One of the worst enemies this drama could have was its own airing schedule. What was that? Just horrible. Especially the beginning, where the episode were released one every two weeks. But I have to say I kept on watching, so I must have been invested in the drama. Who knows... maybe I would have ditched the drama earlier if I watched it in one go.
- The recaps every episode. Because of the airing schedule, they added long recaps at the beginning of each episode
- The drama had trouble balancing all the genres it wanted to convey. It was a romcom only, then it was fantasy drama only and the last episode was happy romcom again. They could have integrated more of the fantasy-story earlier on, without focusing whole episodes on that. The tone-shift felt very bad made. I personally like the Mountain gods' story, but objectively viewed it was badly handled. Just like the whole dog-story was suddenly done.
- The last episode felt unreal. After all the drama, it suddenly shifted to romcom and fillers. Instead of nicely ending the story of the mountain god and the girl, their ending felt somewhat fabricated and unreal.
- Characters disappeared for some time and suddenly showed up again, after I didn't care for them any more

Objectively speaking, I can understand if someone rates this drama lower than a 7/10. But for me personally, even after knowing the flaws... it was quite enjoyable for a romcom-fantasy mix. Shout out for Lee Hyun Woo, who's acting I really enjoyed. It's still entertaining, and usually I easily lose interest in romcom's. So it is still a 7/10 for me. May change my mind later on and give it a 6.5... but right now that's how I feel about it.
