A Good Day to be a Dog, the fantasy romance that everyone can easily enjoy
The core of the story in a webtoon is related to the material that penetrates throughout the webtoon. Let's examine this statement by taking a quick look at .
The setting of the webtoon is a modern-day high school. The main protagonist is a teacher and other key supporting characters are either teachers or students. First of all, the protagonist 'Han Hana' is a language teacher at a high school who may seem like an intelligent and beautiful lady who doesn't lack in anything, but she has a secret that almost nobody knows about. This may be a spoiler, but it will soon get revealed in the story anyway and I will not be able to proceed with the review unless I mention it.
Long ago, Hana's ancestor killed a dog that was beloved by a mountain spirit, getting a curse that would last for his descendants. The curse was that if they kiss with the opposite sex, they will turn into a dog from midnight to dawn. The curse is also accompanied by the strange condition that if they kiss the opposite sex and 'kiss the same person once more as a dog', they will no longer have any problem even if they kiss the person.
The story begins with Hana turning into a dog because she accidentally kisses the math teacher Jin Seo-won who works at the same school. The problem is that the person she kissed is Seo-won of all persons who kept avoiding Hana and being reluctant of her. It turned out that Seo-won had a terrible 'dog phobia' and was instinctively staying away from Hana, so needless to say, breaking the curse has become even harder.
Do you get the hang of the webtoon as I have read you the plot points? The webtoon cleverly sets up to mix fantasy materials with common romance and it brings out the most interesting stories from such combination. Of course, the story is not all about 'kissing a man with a dog phobia as a dog' .For example, various supporting characters, such as Choi Yul, Hana's student who is living in Seo-won's house as his cousin and Yoon Chaea, a fellow teacher who also loves Seo-won, raise the reader's interest.
The artist has spread out the materials carefully throughout the story so that the conflicts and episodes do not dry out easily. The characters are very sophisticated and the story is always under control. The story is indeed centered on romance, but it became a fun webtoon that everyone could enjoy casually because of containing such interesting fantasy elements.
