To all animal lovers out there, these are the K-dramas for us! The fantasy drama genre has become even more exciting by incorporating our favorite pets as main characters in the K-dramas we love.
“A Good Day To Be A Dog”
One of today’s most popular and talk about K-dramas is “A Good Day To Be A Dog,” a fantasy romantic comedy starring Cha Eun Woo, Park Gyu Young, and Lee Hyun Woo. The storyline revolves around a female lead who bears a generational family curse, transforming into a cute dog upon kissing someone. To break the curse, the person she kissed in human form must reciprocate the kiss while she’s in dog form, or she’ll remain a dog forever after 100 days! The catch? The person she kissed is afraid of dogs, adding a unique twist to their unfolding love story.
“Welcome“: K-Drama for Pet Lovers
Watching this drama brings to mind Kim Myung Soo and Shin Ye Eun’s “Welcome,” which also features a cat with the ability to transform into a human. In contrast to “A Good Day To Be A Dog,” the male lead in “Welcome” is a cat-turned-human. Both dramas are based on webtoons.
Kim Myung Soo is the perfect fit for the unique role of a cat experiencing life from a different perspective. His soft features complement the character well. Shin Ye Eun’s portrayal adds depth and chemistry to the story. It’s enjoyable to watch her character’s journey in understanding and connecting with the cat/human.

The emotional journey of characters in this cat-turned-human concept is a refreshing deviation from the norm, making it a heartwarming series for pet enthusiasts.
