because it’s so obvious, it feels like a red herring, which is why i think the special cello player that eungeol’s brother liked is eunyu’s best friend who recently committed suicide. also, several times already, we’ve seen eunyu about to hang herself and stop because eungeol has given her a reason to keep living. if eunyu had that same support from eungeol’s brother in the present day, why did feel totally abandoned by everyone there and want to end her life?

what if the 'special' cello player that eungyeol's brother didn't want to break up with isn't eunyu? what if it was her best friend who recently committed suicide?

Definitely 3, maybe 1. The daughter did say that her mom's first love was written by AI because her description was so all over the place which makes 3 the most likely to make up a cool first love. But Sekyeong knew that Cheongah liked Yi Chan and it was very taboo at the time so being besties was the next option. She did personally invite Cheongah to the show and wrote her a letter after she moved asking for Cheongah to write her back in the US which she did with no one else. Plus they've made a big deal about Sekyeong's daughter being cool with gay relationships which paves the way for her mom coming out to her when they get back to 2023.

This is my first drama with him and after 2 episodes I think he's doing fine. In fact, I'm even slightly impressed with his microexpressions.

I love how honest he is with her about being jealous of Taemin and that she's grown on him. He's being bratty about it but it's also sincere. And that little smile when he gets off the phone with her, he's so pleased with himself.

"Ever since he was little, Tae Ho has only ever seen Tae Min looking absolutely perfect. The perfectly rational and poker-faced Tae Min has always been impossible to read, but his walls come down around Hyo Shim—and after seeing that, [Tae Ho] became curious about Hyo Shim as a person. Starting from Episode 6, which airs today, you’ll be able to see the process of this curiosity of Tae Ho’s transforming into [romantic] interest. As Ha Jun mentioned during the press conference, Tae Ho’s hidden cute side will make a grand appearance. You can safely look forward to it.” ~ From the production team - Soompi [https://www.soompi.com/article/1619636wpp/uee-and-ha-jun-get-close-at-the-gym-in-live-your-own-life]

Ooh! "Tae Ho’s hidden cute side". Yes, please.

*long sigh* That is crazy. At least the drought is ending.

I'm with you. This fantasy romance show chucked the fantasy out the window halfway through (the reincarnation plotline doesn't count) and gave up on explaining anything while trying to distract us with a very cute romance.

Do I think that we the audience can make up our own very good theories on how the magic worked? Yes.

Did the show give us any real answers? No, and they shrugged the magic off like they couldn't be bothered and were annoyed that we wanted answers to the questions they raised. I was all in on the potential of this story but was very disappointed due to the lack of follow through on anything but the romance.

ETA: Also, for my curse theory - I think it ended because Shinyu died temporarily and therefore the curse was fulfilled or broken. But the show did not confirm this or any other theory.

I'm so excited we get two whole episodes this weekend!

Unfortunately, this show just gave up on the magic halfway through but Shinyu miraculously recovered from his incurable disease with zero explanation and basically a shrug from the characters.

I've felt this whole time that Jaekyung is good and was just playing the villains these last few eps. Especially with the reveal that Hongjo recorded her confrontation with Nayeon, it gives me hope that Jaekyung is doing the same.

Yup, that proposal scene. While this show doled out a few answers along the way, it seems they are saving 90% of them for the finale tomorrow, especially regarding the magic. *sigh* I will say this: Nayeon has been caught in major lies at least 3 times so far. She is completely two-faced and can't be trusted.

This is a show with black magic that forces people to do things against their will. In Ep5 look at the bloodied wood signs and then rewatch the proposal scene very closely to see what Nayeon said when she grabbed Shinyu's hand. *wink*

Viki has only episode 3 airing on October 18th. So it will be only once a week after the first week.

Will likely start airing November 17 since it is taking over the My Dearest 2 timeslot.

my speculation: nayeon put a curse on shinyu during her proposal to force him to stay with her which is why he has a very hard time being able to break free from her. watch the beginning of ep5 again: bloodied wood signs > shinyu: "what's wrong with me?" > flashback to proposal scene where nayeon holds shinyu's hand and tells him she's "not ready to let him go"

According to MBC's official Twitter, A Good Day To Be A Dog will air both Episode 1 and 2 back-to-back on October 11. It's unclear if this will continue for future broadcasts.

Yes, and it would be so good for Hyoshim to have sister-in-laws on her side. They definitely will all be great friends.

Jaekyung specifically recruited Shinyu to join their government office to fight Haum construction and other corrupt companies. It was almost like Jaekyung was testing Shinyu's response to make sure Shinyu would still be on his side against Haum (and ultimately the mayor). I definitely think Jaekyung is playing along to gather evidence against the mayor and Haum.

Jaekyung called himself an otter and really is all of the below...

The otter symbolizes friendship, peace, kindness and family. The otter is also social and mischievous and a symbol of grace, empathy, happiness and never-ending curiosity. [from Spirits of the West Coast Art Gallery]
