Additional Info.
"The title Lovely Dog was intentionally crafted, with the word ""dog"" included to emphasize the premise of the female protagonist turning into a dog. The author confirmed that this was not a typo, and in their review, revealed that the original title was intended to be She's Like a Dog before it was changed.
The drama adaptation introduces some differences from the original story. In the original, the protagonist transforms into a dog from 12 AM to 6 AM after a kiss. However, in the drama, the transformation begins within a minute after kissing and lasts until 6 AM. Additionally, while the original retains the rule that the curse can be lifted only by kissing the same person again, the drama adds a new condition: if the curse is not broken within 100 days, the character will remain a dog permanently.
The drama attracted significant attention due to its star-studded cast, featuring Cha Eun-woo, Park Gyu-young, and Lee Hyun-woo. Its blend of romance and fantasy struck a chord with viewers, earning widespread popularity.
