A Good Day To Be A Dog Episode 4 Highlights
Armed with a yellow umbrella, Seo-won covered him and Hae-na and successfully evaded Chae-ah. However, the instant knight in shining armor, unfortunately, has abysmal driving skills. Fortunately, they were able to arrive on time and Seo-won was able to render a congratulatory song for the couple.
After the wedding, Seo-won got dragged by Chae-ah who said she had an urgent thing to do. Ever the kindhearted, he decides to drive her to Seoul since there will be no available bus. Celebrating inwardly, Chae-ah later realizes Seo-won is terrible on wheels.
She pushes her luck to have dinner with him but he politely declines discerning her lies. Bo-gyeom and Hae-na also had a quiet time at the beach as he shared his fascination with the moon’s gravitational pull that causes the water tides to move. Somehow, it holds a deeper meaning.
Meanwhile, Yu-na and Woo-taek meet Yul asserting he should keep Hae-na’s secret. In the process, they gave details about the curse.
Because of that, during a teacher-student session, Yul cutely questions his teacher and learns about the kiss that triggered the curse. He offers help so she can have a chance to kiss his uncle.
“Why is the curse so detailed?”
Forcing his uncle to sleep, Yul brings Hae-na to execute the curse-breaking plan. However, after the kiss, Hae-na did not transform. Theories are discussed by the sisters and even their mom scour the family’s records but could not find an answer.
Later, Hae-na and Seo-won had a chat about his fear of dogs. It was hinted that he had a bad experience when he was young with a vicious dog. He also opens up about how he cannot freely express his emotions.
Pondering how she can help Seo-won, Hae-na proposes to help him overcome his fear. They did it in baby steps with side commentaries from Haena about dog behaviors.
Slowly, Seo-won settled comfortably into the program Hae-na designed. While resting at a park though, a big dog escapes his leash heading to dog-magnet Hae-na and cynophobic Seo-won. Hae-na quickly moves and covers them with a jacket.

Let’s hope Woo-taek’s ideas take the spotlight on the problem of the sisters so they can try if mutual love is a necessary ingredient for the curse to be lifted.
On the bright side, we can see the romantic direction heads to that anyway.
There’s really a great chance that “love” is a key element that would unlock the mystery of the curse.

The way his story unfolds so far leans to a test of patience. Actually, the series as a whole is giving that vibe.
Along the way, viewers can anticipate more side stories and issues to be tackled in this drama.
This episode in particular shares a beautiful yet sad message about alienation. Seo-won’s confession of how he hopes he can express his emotions well.
It springs from his past trauma left unattended. Because of that, he became guarded.
Hopefully, his interaction with Hae-na provides a healing to his deeply entrenched pain.
