A Good Day to be a Dog Episode 10 Review
A Good Day to be a Dog plot overview: The protagonist, Han Hae-na (Park Gyuyoung), accidentally kisses her colleague Jin Seo-won (Cha Eun-Woo), triggering a curse that transforms her into a dog from 12 am to 6 am every day. The only way to break the curse is for the same person to kiss her while she’s in her dog form. And while Han Hae-na embarks on a mission to end her curse, the mysterious history teacher Lee Bo-kyeom (Lee Hyun-Woo) has some other plans for the pair.
After leaving fans hanging with a tense cliffhanger in Episode 9, where Lee Bo-kyeom wields a sword against Jin Seo-won without any trigger in the current timeline, the new edition diffuses the tension pretty soon. The tense build-up didn’t match the ensuing drama, which won’t matter much to those looking forward to watching more romantic moments between Han Hae-na and Seo-won. Park Gyuyoung and Cha Eun-Woo are snugly and cute as the lead pair.
Titled “The Unknown Story”, episode 10 first focuses on the love story between the primary leads and then shifts attention to the much awaited historical back-story of Lee Bo-kyeom. Flashbacks finally reveal the mountain deity’s love for a woman who was connected to the royal family and how she came to die. Despite a rather scruffy wig for the historical scenes, Lee Hyun-Woo is bewitchingly good as the mountain deity who falls for a human woman called Lady Han (Kim Yi Kyung). Kim is also impressive as the young noblewoman being pursued by enemies and her chemistry with Lee Hyun-Woo makes the second-half of the episode riveting. The background music is instrumental in heightening the atmospheric value of each scene.
Lee Hyun-Woo’s dual portrayal, transitioning between the jovial, laid-back history teacher in the day and a vengeful deity filled with hatred by night, establishes him as a compelling anti-hero in “A Good Day to be a Dog.” However, with a few more episodes remaining, the crucial scene depicting the casting of the dog curse on Han Hae-na’s family is yet to be revealed. Overall, episode 10 strikes a good balance between romantic elements and conflicts.
