I can’t see this on any streaming site so hopefully I can find it somewhere else. I’m not subscribed to Viki etc. ☹️

@agdr
i also feel like Cha Eun Woo looks the same – like he hasn’t aged since True Beauty that came out in 2020. 3 years ago. hmmm. his face is flawless. so youthful at 26 yrs old. daebak. so half my age. LOL

@agdr03, I signed up for the free 7 day trial of Viki. I’ll see how it goes. Otherwise, it’s on Dramacool.

Episode 5 & 6 were good, although I have to wonder about the screen-writer’s experience with pets. The following is my opinion and only that.
I think there was a bit of a plot hole – the 2nd attempt of bringing Hae-Na in dog form to Seo-Won’s apartment was doomed in advance because he is no where near actively wanting to kiss a dog yet and he must consciously want to do it for the spell to break.
Also the dog behaviours aren’t normal – a dog might whine a bit if it wanted attention, give that puppy eye look if it wanted affection or bark/howl if it were alarmed, excited or distressed. There have been plenty of instances when I expected it and it didn’t happen when it would have helped the situation; the kidnapping for example. And the opposite, barking when the Hae Na-dog is hoping to be appealing, but the effect is the opposite. The dog form of Hae-Na isn’t believable to me. I’m only saying this because my dogs would act differently.
Episode 5 – Lee Bo-Gyeom went pretty feral about punishing that girl who intended to incriminate Seo-Won. The story line allowed Seo-Won and Hae Na to bond more.
Episode 6 – I’m interesting in the new girl student- the shaman-in-training. She seems more aware than Bo-Gyeom of their past connection. What was her story in the past? She is 3 years older than the others (one of the drama-club girls mentioned her own age was 18) so she would be 21 and an adult legally. There must be a reason for her to be that age.
Thanks for the update, @Fern. Will try to watch tonight.
I’m giving any teacher-high school student romance a 👎 thumbs-down.

Just about to watch Episode 7 and doing a doggy re-watch.

I enjoy the bouncy music for the opening credits. I think it’s a samba – anyway, I always do my own home grown version of the samba across the room when I listen.
Top doggy moment
I loved the doggy ‘grab the mobile phone and run’ sequence in Episode 5 – hahaha – especially the close up of our FL-Dog’s little face as it runs, pursued by nasty girl – Episode 5 32′.14” – in the style of a – I don’t know – what type of film/documentary. It made me hoot.
I love the fact that the show plays around with the possibilities with our heroine as dog. It keeps the story fresh and the comedy possibilities alive and delightful.
“An extreme close-up shows us objects and people differently than we see them. It calls attention to the subjects, making them more memorable visually” – Jennifer van Sijll, Cinematic Storytelling
The extreme close-up shot is traditionally used in film to allow the viewer to enter the character’s intimate space, revealing certain characteristics and emotions that would otherwise go unnoticed from afar. This unnaturally close view intensifies feelings that the character is experiencing and allows us to feel sympathy for, and establish a connection with, the character in question. At such an extreme intimate proximity, every subtle expression, muscle movement, facial characteristic, reflection and detail becomes that much more apparent. In this way, it emphasizes the dramatic importance of the scene, making it stand out with respect to the movie as a whole.’

Listening to the music they use – it’s a spoof chase scene – the sort of thing you see in one of those wonderful TV series popular in the 60s and 70s like The Saint or The Avengers or …
Nephew Yul is so likeable. I love his initiative in all things FL-dog related …. Including embarrassing attention to detail like doggy nappies!
Agreed – he adds a lot to the show.
Hadn’t picked up the tracksuit reference.

I fell for the character Yul in the first episode when she was trying to run from him before she transformed and he kept popping up determined to help her get home. I remember there was also a cute interaction between them the next time they discussed her becoming a dog at school—I need to go rewatch. I thought they’d make some sort of romantic connection between him and the girl that was getting bullied but that didn’t happen..yet He had extra funny parts in episode 7. I’m not sure who the actor is, but I hope some great parts find their way to him.

I am back to watching this show and just finished episode six. The dog as sherlock holmes was very funny. Each episode brings a fresh.Approach to the humor of her turning into a dog.

@Kate,
The nephew’s green track suit reminded me of “The Uncanny Counter” RED team track suit.
Yul is fast becoming my favorite side character.
Let me open thread for Ep 7
