Takes the Throne for Glossing Over Everything

Tell me why this show couldn't have done an hour per episode or give Jazz for Two more episodes? Is it due to budgeting? Because boy did this drama fall short thanks to how rushed it feels.

I actually enjoyed this drama. I really did. Unfortunately, I needed more.

For example, we really glossed over Doyoon and Juha's relationship. Juha saved Doyoon from some bullies. Okay, but why? Especially if dude's a bully himself too? Juha started bullying Doyoon. Okay, but why? Was it internalised homophobia? Something he was not aware he had until Doyoon made his move? That whole part where Juha practically called Doyoon disgusting was self-explanatory. However, Juha started feeling lost because Doyoon ignored his existence and he just do a 180 flip? The locker scene touched parts of my heart but Juha rationalising his previous actions was hella weak. And for Doyoon to immediately fall back into Juha's arms? Don't get me wrong, I freaking love the both of them. I just couldn't take how half-assed their story felt.

Unfortunately, the main couple's story felt glossed over at times too. Seheon's relationship with his father? The fact that his father was so strict with him yet when Seheon blew up and let it be known that he liked jazz over classical music, the father though strict, let Seheon do what he wanted. And then his father was never talked about again.

Also, Taeyi and his trauma? Or the final episode, that whole festival subplot.

Jazz for Two could have been a five-star watch if glossing over shit was not a strategy used constantly in the show...

random thoughts about run on, episode four

(please do note that this post contains spoilers so read at your own risk.)

okay so a lot has happened in this episode and i wasn’t ready for it

like dan ah said “even when making a mess, he (seon gyeom) still didn’t break the rules” it summarizes the character quite well. he wants justice but still won’t break rules. it makes me respect him even more because he stands by his morals

another thing that made me respect seon gyeom even more was how truthful he was to his father. he stood his ground and told him everything he wanted to say, especially that sentence “Unwanted love is the same as violence”

after that, you can see ki jeong do (seon gyeom’s father) taking it out on everyone else when he’s one of the main reasons for all of that happening. he wasn’t there for his son and when he was, it was to belittle his son

on a completely unrelated note, the matching blue outfits at the beginning of the episode were cute 💙

a recurring theme in this episode is mi joo telling seon gyeom is too harsh on himself (for example, he grew up nicely even though he didn’t grow up in a healthy environment or he worries about everyone but himself)

to sum it up, seon gyeom is a “person who got hurt so much he’s used to it now. so now he doesn’t even know what’s hurting him”

we finally got the first dan ah x yeong hwa scene yay!!! i can sense yeong hwa will be my idiot (affectionate)

the first time seon gyeom ran was “away from his dad. he wanted to leave everything behind and go far away. it felt like he had a world of his own where only he could be heard. the first time he made a decision on his own” i guess that’s why he runs.  it’s the only decision he made in his entire life and that must be why he continued to do so

oh and i wonder if the woo sik interview will be published and the consequences of his revelations

Holy yikes, Lee Bo Gyeom is unhinged! 😲 Such a cute face, such a cute smile and then, bang, he goes after you with a beam! But I don't think he would've done that to that obnoxious girl if she hadn't tried to set up Seo Woon.

SPOILERS FOR THE WEBTOON

... I think they will stick to the webtoon and use the Seo Woon's memories in exchange for Hae Na's family's curse thing but it won't be just Lee Bo Gyeom's temper tantrum for being stuck for so long here. I think they will use the equal measure thing that's so prevalent in magic. If you want something - or want to undo something - you have to offer something of equal value.

That's why Lee Bo Gyeom needs Seo Woon and Hae Na to fall in love, so that he can use Seon Woon's memories - and thus his love - to break Hae Na's curse. But he will do it knowing that it can be undone if their love is strong enough, they will just have to suffer for a while. Because he actually likes them fools.

Eve Episodio 5 - Yoon Gyeom : “¿Cómo te atreves a tratar de llegar a mí?”

A Wonderful Day to Be a Dog Review: Cha Eun Woo and Park Gyu Young star in this comedy about the furries and furies of a cursed person.

Park Gyu Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Lee Hyun Woo feature in the fantasy romcom A Good Day To Be A Dog. A Good Day to be a Dog is a fantasy romcom based on author Lee Hye's webtoon of the same name. It stars Park Gyu Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Lee Hyun Woo. The drama premiered on October 11, 2023, and will run until the first week of January 2024. For overseas audiences, the drama is available on Viki and Viu.

Physical intimacy is an important component of dating, but what if it is the source of conflict in your relationship? Park Hae Na has been afflicted by it her entire life. So much so that she is being chastised by her friends and colleagues for never kissing her boyfriends. However, she is unable to explain why. What is she going to say? "Oh, I turn into a dog when I kiss because of an ancestral curse." People will think she's insane. Hae Na is in a bad way. She is now a homeroom teacher at a high school known as the BUKC, or Breaking Up Kissing Couples. She has a crush on fellow history teacher Mr Lee Bo Gyeon and kisses him one fateful night. Except it's Mr Jin Seon Woo, another teacher at the school who is cold and aloof to Hae Na. Hae Na's curse can be broken only if she kisses the same person again, but this time in her dog form. She tries to kiss Mr Jin in her dog form, but as luck would have it, Mr Jin is terrified of dogs. His apprehension derives from a bullying experience when he was younger. All of this is revealed in the two episodes that have already broadcast. We also witness where Hae Na's family curse began. There were flashbacks to the past, specifically to 1592, when the entire incident occurred. Mr Lee also mentions in one of his seminars that he wishes he could go back to that year and change history. In keeping with the show's lighthearted tone, we see Hae Na in awkward circumstances that are sure to make you laugh. Park Hae Na, Par Gyu Young's character, is like any other 20-something lady attempting to make her own way in life by dating and meeting new people. But that dreadful curse! She is bubbly and cheery, yet she is also determined. We watch Hae Na, like every female star in a romcom, getting herself into hilariously awkward situations all the time. Lee Hyun Woo's character Lee Bo Gyeom is the sort that you will like right away. The audience, like the students in the play, is bound to develop a crush on him soon (if they haven't already!) Jin Seo Woo, played by Cha Eun Woo, is a typical tsundere character. Why? Let's see what happens - 1. He is aloof. 2. He rarely expresses emotion. 3. Among all of his coworkers, he is only close to Bo Gyeom. 4. He never smiles. Hae Na even commented that Seo Woo's only smile was a small upturn of his lips. Such fantasy tales with a curse and a connection between the leads' ancestors are highly entertaining to see. It gives you much to ponder about, theorize about, and fawn over at the same time! The primary characters, supporting characters, and plot of the story are all introduced in the first two episodes. The new soundtrack and sound effects sprinkled throughout the drama contribute to the vitality of each moment. The one-hour length of each episode perfectly encapsulates the tale. A Good Day to Be a Dog is a fun approach to beat the mid-week blues.
