Cha Eun-woo is coming back with a new drama, and fans are quite stoked about it. On September 5, it was reported that Cha Eun-woo will be starring in an upcoming drama, A Good Day to be a Dog, which is the working title of the series and has not been finalized yet. A Good Day to be a Dog has been confirmed to begin filming in October.

The drama is based on an eponymous webtoon and is described as a fantasy rom-com where a woman, Han Hae-na, transforms into a dog every time she kisses a man. However, this is not the singular twist in her story. Interestingly, the only way her curse can be undone is if she kisses a man who is genuinely afraid of dogs. It is anticipated that Cha Eun-woo will be playing the role of the man who will save her from the curse.


ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo has a tragic past with dogs in the upcoming drama Good Day to be a Dog

Cha Eun-woo will be taking on the role of the male lead, Jin Seo-won, who is terrified of dogs due to a past traumatic event he has no memory of anymore.

Jin Seo-won has spent his entire life hiding his pain behind a cool and aloof exterior. However, his life changes when he meets the female protagonist. It is expected that a considerable part of the story will revolve around how Jin Seo-won navigates his relationship with the female lead whose curse turns her into a dog when she kisses a man. Fans are curious to find out how Cha Eun-woo’s character will cure his lady love of her curse.

The K-pop singer's fans agree that the ASTRO member's resemblance to the webtoon is uncanny, and it is a sign of perfect casting.

The ASTRO star has also signed the drama Island, which is a fantasy-action drama set on Jeju Island where three people have been assigned to fight against an evil entity that is trying to destroy the world. Cha Eun-woo will star alongside Kim Nam-gil, Lee Da-hee, and Sung Joon in Island, which is scheduled to air sometime in 2023.
