Cha Eun Woo Opens Up About Unique Kissing Scene In New Drama

Cha Eun Woo Reveals Unique Kissing Scene in ‘A Good Day to Be a Dog’

On October 11, the MBC FM4U radio show “Two O’Clock Date with JaeJae” hosted the lead cast of MBC’s upcoming drama “A Good Day to Be a Dog” as special guests. The primary cast is composed of Park Gyu Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Lee Hyun Woo.

During the radio broadcast, a curious listener inquired about the on-screen dynamics between the actors and the real canine co-star in the series. Park Gyu Young said, “Since, in the scenario, my character turns into a dog, when it comes to talking about chemistry, I think Eunwoo will have a lot to say.”

That’s when Cha Eun Woo opened up about working with a furry co-star. “I actually had to film a genuine kissing scene with a dog,” he said. The idol then pointed out that working with a dog was not as easy as it sounds.

“The puppy was adorable, but it just wouldn’t focus. It wouldn’t even kiss me,” Cha said. He also admitted that he had to take extra measures to ensure the dog would work with him.

“To initiate the kissing scene, I had to apply ‘Churu’ – a pet snack – on my mouth to coax it to kiss (lick my lips),” Cha said.

“A Good Day to Be a Dog” is the latest MBC drama featuring Cha Eun Woo. It is an adaptation of the popular Naver webtoon written by Lee Hye. The story revolves around a woman cursed to transform into a dog whenever she kisses someone and a man with an irrational fear of dogs who, ironically, holds the sole known remedy to break the enchantment.

Cha Eun Woo’s clean-cut style and demeanor impeccably embody the essence of a dedicated educator. In these snapshots, he authentically captures the essence of a teacher, from his posture—crossing his arms thoughtfully while observing his students—to his presence in front of the chalkboard, donning a pair of glasses that add an intellectual touch to his character.

The attention to detail in Cha Eun Woo’s portrayal of Jin Seo Won promises an engaging and immersive experience for viewers as they witness his compelling transformation into a math teacher, elevating the anticipation surrounding this drama even further.

Although his character is terrified of puppies, Cha Eun Woo explains that he is the opposite.

“Personally, I like dogs, and I thought that the subject of turning into a dog when kissed is interesting and exciting, so I chose [this project]. I think this unique topic is our drama’s charm,” he said.

He further pointed out that Jin Seo Won isn’t necessarily a bad guy for hating canines. Cha Eun Woo said, “He is a character who appears cold on the outside due to his fear of dogs stemming from childhood trauma, but he is a warmhearted character.”

He continued, “I like math, and [my character’s] job is a math teacher in the drama, so I wanted to express this in a more fun and three-dimensional manner.”

“A Good Day to Be a Dog” unfolds as an enchanting fantasy romance drama that revolves around Han Hae Na (played by Park Gyu Young). Her life takes an extraordinary twist when she is cursed to undergo a transformation into a canine every time she shares a kiss with a man. However, the complexity deepens as the only individual capable of breaking this peculiar curse is her co-worker, Jin Seo Won, portrayed by ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo. The catch is that Seo Won harbors a profound fear of dogs, stemming from a traumatic incident buried in his past, now lost in his memory. The series will premiere on October 11, 2023.
