A Good Day to Be a Dog is a fantasy romance series that follows Han Hae-na (Park Gyu-young), a high school Korean literature teacher who faces an unusual curse. After an accidental kiss with her crush, Lee Bo-kyum (Lee Hyun-woo), she transforms into a dog every night, returning to her human form at dawn. Her only hope for breaking the curse lies in receiving a kiss from the same man who triggered it, and there’s just one problem – Bo-kyum is not the one she kissed. It’s Jin Seo-won (Cha Eun-woo), another one of her colleagues who is handsome but is terrified of dogs due to a traumatic event in the past. Now, Hae-na must win Seo-won’s heart, get him to kiss her in dog form, or suffer from the curse forever.
