MBC’s “A Good Day to Be a Dog” is gearing up for tonight’s premeire!
Based on a webtoon, “A Good Day to Be a Dog” is a fantasy romance drama about Han Hae Na (Park Gyu Young), a woman who is cursed to transform into a dog when she kisses a man. However, the only person who can undo her curse is her colleague Jin Seo Won (ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo), who is afraid of dogs due to a traumatic event he can no longer remember. Lee Hyun Woo will star in the drama as Lee Bo Kyum, a Korean history teacher who is colleagues with Jin Seo Won and Han Hae Na.
On October 11, Cha Eun Woo, Park Gyu Young, Lee Hyun Woo, and director Kim Dae Woong attended the press conference for “A Good Day to Be a Dog.”
During the press conference, Park Gyu Young dished on her chemistry with Cha Eun Woo and Lee Hyun Woo, sharing, “The laughter didn’t end. My character has a crush on Hyun Woo and romance with Eun Woo, so we had really great chemistry. Although Cha Eun Woo and I debuted at the same time, he is four years younger than me. He was present with reliable energy on set. He delivered bright energy while also holding the balance down firmly. I’m the same age as Hyun Woo, but he is a senior actor [by many years]. I learned much from him, and he always delivers bright and comfortable energy.”
On her similarities with Han Hae Na, Park Gyu Young shared, “Ha Na is brighter and she has good energy, good stamina, and a good personality,” explaining that she learned a lot from Hae Na. The actress hilariously added, “I’m not close with dogs.”
Similarly, Cha Eun Woo discussed his similarity with his character Jin Seo Won, sharing, “I think we are about 70 percent in sync. I’m cautious of people I’m meeting for the first time, and I hear from time to time that I give off a cold impression. I think those elements are similar. An aspect that is different is that I’m not actually afraid of dogs.”
Regarding their viewership ratings goal, Lee Hyun Woo remarked, “My hope is 8.5 percent. If the viewership ratings surpass 8.5 percent, I want to hold an event with people who raise pets,” while Park Gyu Young mentioned going to volunteer for a dog shelter and the hopes of surpassing 8.0 percent in viewership ratings.
“A Good Day to Be a Dog” is set to premiere on October 11 at 9 p.m. KST and will be available on Dramacool.
