Opinion about A good day to be a dog
This is a manhwa that certainly doesn't innovate much in its premise, since it puts us in the fantasy context that a simple kiss on the lips has the remarkable power to turn the ordinary into extraordinary. Clear examples we have, such asThe Frog Princewhere a kiss turns a frog into an handsome member of the royalty, or inSleeping Beautywhere a kiss is the key to breaking a malevolent spell.
However, despite how silly and unserious the title sounds, this is actually a quite well-written romance and fantasy story. All the characters, especially Hana and Seon, are very well developed with realistic personalities. The story also progresses pretty well, considering how simple the plot is. Seon and Hana actually get to know each other and fall in love at a good and reasonable pace, reflecting a realistic rhythm of how romance arises, the interaction between them does not feel forced.
No doubt this manhwa is a good recommendation if you are looking for something entertaining, comedic and full of cheesiness. It is important to highlight that this story was adapted to the big screens, in a drama that is still airing, you can find it on the streaming platformViki.
