☕️ PARK GYU YOUNG & CHA EUN WOO: Completely Charming in "A Good Day To Be A Dog"

KDrama News Roundup | October 16, 2023

I was so completely smitten with “A Good Day To Be A Dog” that it achieved what no kdrama on my watchlist has in recent memory:

I didn’t look at my phone once during the entire 2 hours!

Is there any better recommendation 🤣

We finally got some good news from SAGAftra this week - alas it is not that the strike is over, sadly far from it - but we are clear to discuss KDramas on struck sites as long as we don’t promote those streamers!

And our REWATCH: “Flower Of Evil” Series has reached its conclusion!

Did you rewatch with us? Had such a great time with our FINALE Debate - it was definitely one of my all-time favorite KDrama discussions.

Check it out below ⬇️

☕️ Let’s get this KDrama Coffee Break started!

📜 P.S. 

Did you watch?!

Honestly, I was prepared to be disappointed - as we often are even when we love the casting (cough “See You In My 19th Life” cough) 

Readers, Park Gyu Young & Cha Eun Woo did NOT disappoint. These 2 episodes were a perfect RomCom setup.

I laughed out loud multiple times. And you know how much that means to me!

PARK GYU YOUNG is perfection as our quirky teacher with a curse that turns her into a dog if she kisses a guy. And CHA EUN WOO is adorable as the guy who is kissed and just happens to be afraid of dogs.

These first 2 eps gave us a super solid fantasy RomCom with a curse that seems to date back to the Joseon Era…because of course. 😉

Can’t wait for more! Though only getting one episode a week is going to be a tough wait.

🐶 As an animal lover, I also loved the cast’s Viewership Pledge to volunteer or donate to an abandoned dog center or dog cafe when their viewership ratings reach 8%. LET’S GO!!

Park Hyung Sik & Park Bo Young

😎 PARK HYUNG SIK made big news this week. First, there was his “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” reunion with Park Bo Young on “Strong Girl Namsoon”. I didn’t even love their drama all that much, but seeing them back together was a lot of fun and made me add, an official reunion between the two to my kdrama wish list.

He also announced his first Asia Fan Meet Tour starting in Seoul, November 26th…if you’re in the area keep an eye out for details!

🎬️ PARK BO YOUNG will be representing her award-winning film “Concrete Uptopia” at the London East Asia Film Festival on October 29th. Her film will be closing the festival. If you’re in London you can check on tickets HERE

💞CHA CHUNG HWA - one of my favorites and absolutely hilarious kdrama actress, (“Mr. Queen” and the only highlight for me in “See You In My 19th Life”) has announced her marriage to her non-celebrity boyfriend on October 27th! Congratulations to the happy couple!!

🍿 JUNG SO MIN & KANG HANEUL’s RomCom “30 Days” took the top spot at the Korean Box Office, beating out “Dr. Cheon and the Lost Talisman”, which had held the #1 spot since the Chuseok Holiday.

🍿 SONG JOONG KI discusses why he didn’t take a paycheck for his latest film “Hopeless”. Chatting with Lee Dong Jin on his YouTube channel BTV’s Piarchia, Song Joong Ki explains why he waived his fee for this particular project. He says he was just trying to help keep the costs down and help keep the charm of the story intact but now he worries - jokingly - that future producers will want him to waive his fee as well. \

🍿 SHIN MIN AH & KIM HAE SOOK’s healing fantasy film “3 Days of Vacation” has confirmed its release in December, just in time for the holidays! It will tell the story of a mother who comes down from heaven, for three days, to visit with her daughter. In addition to these two powerhouse women, we will get to see a friendlier, less murder-y KANG KI YOUNG as Mom’s angelic guide back to earth.

😜 Speaking of PARK HYUNG SIK…Stay tuned for our next REWATCH Series!
