First of all, let me say this - one episode every two weeks is a sure fire way to get me to wait to binge. I am not there yet, I love the leads here, just sayin'. I really needed the "Previously on AGDTBAD....." part to remember where we ended eons ago.

Seo Won driving the car for the first time was riotous. Yul is adorable. I hope he plays a bigger part in the story going forward. As gorgeous as CEW is, and this is prolly not going to be a popular opinion, watching him is almost like watching a model striking poses than an actor acting

Operation Sleeping Beauty Kiss was hilarious if unsuccessful. I'm glad the team had the foresight to pack a change of clothes, underwear included. Having this trio of eager helpers is going to make Hae-na's quest to end the curse even more fun. I feel like we don’t often see realistic yet loving sibling relationships on dramas, and Hae-na and Yoo-ra capture that perfectly.

Poor Seo-won really struggles setting boundaries with the SFL, but he's so disinterested in her that her presence doesn't bother me except that it takes away screen time from better characters. Also, you’d hope Hae-na would realize after the "How to look cool while driving" how much Seo-won's trying to make a good impression on her.

Once again, their sweet consideration of each other -- the coat "house" and her soothing voice 🥰 -- takes all the cakes. Not sure what to think of Bo-gyeom’s tiger alter ego or foreboding predictions, but I hope we don’t get too much angst in this cute show.

This episode was fun to watch as Seowon put so much effort in trying to be cool while driving even though he's a novice driver, driving on the expressway for the first time and Yul telling Haena to get out of the car! All of the actors were great and love the relationship between Seowon & Yul and Haena & her sister! Downside is there is a baseball game again next week so we won't be able to see episode 5 until 2 weeks from now. MBC really messed up on te scheduling for this drama, once a week was painful but canceling an episode due to a baseball is such a pain!

Thanks @unit for the weecap.
The nephew brings comedy gold every episode; his phone call telling her to save herself and leave the car and then sitting on his uncle to block her escape from the room, were this week’s highlights. I loved the gang going all in on the operation with their outfits to get the kiss sorted.

I know it’s supposed to be funny new learners not knowing how to drive on multi lane carriage ways or how to take exits but surely a decent driving instructor would cover all that before the test these days.

Let’s hope this is the last of the breaks in transmission.

Even though she says she hasn't changed who her crush is, we can all see that she was way more excited to spend time with Seowon than she was about going with Bogyeom to see that very romantic-looking sunset at the beach; she really is the only one that hasn't noticed, huh?
Although I hate the schedule right now, I love the fact that I can rewatch this drama over and over and I still laugh and giggle with each scene. It's really turning into my comfort drama, the whole cast is great, the coloring and the music, everything is perfect, ugh i love it so much, please MBC give me more episodes !!!!

I didn't understand why they didn't recruit Yul before. So I'm happy they finally did it. The curse was clear : he must kiss her in her dog form, not the opposite, so the result of their mission was obvious (as well as how fake was the dog 😅).

For the episode, it wasn't very entertaining. They didn't spend so much time together at the wedding (did she take the gift?), the holding hand scene was cute but the parking wasn't that far from the entrance of the building.

I really like the sisters together. Yoo-Ra is sincerely worried for her sister and cares about her.

At least, there is no doubts about their feelings. They just need to say it to each other!

I just start this show smiling and the smile never leaves. It’s not anything special, but still enjoyable. Wish CEW would move his face more. Show me some wrinkles. I know he probably makes more money being a commercial model, and his face needs to stay perfect, but it makes for very little depth in his character. But I guess I’m not watching this for depth. I have My Dearest for that.

This week episode is really hilarious and comforting I really love a man who have some flaws, that makes him human.
The umbrella, the dress and now the jacket are yellow, why yellow?

I love all atmosphere, warming word, funny situation:)) I enjoyed this show 😊😊can’t wait to watch ep 5

i literally SCREAMED when they brought up the school trip!!! I was praying so that hard it'll make it to the adaptation AND IT DID OHMYGOD I cant WAIT for the pure chaos!

Aside from that, it just occurred to me how perfect the casting is for our main leads (excluding woo-taek, he wasn't a part of the webtoon so I don't know his purpose here) and gyu-young is embodying Hae-na really well.

To be honest this show was not very high on my list of dramas to watch. It has turned out to be very entertaining and a much needed bit of escapism.

The FL is awesome in this role, the dog scenes leave me in stitches and her band of co conspirators is hilarious. My only niggle is that the ML is coming across a bit robotic. I’m wondering how much of that is Cha Eun Woo trying to embrace the character’s aloofness or a need to improve his acting skills.

It’s just a sweet and simple story and the leads are endearing. I like all the characters so far.
The show suffers due to one episode a week format and also next episode airs in 14 days said Viki. Ouch.
I am rooting for the second leads too. They make such a great team.
The sisters are sweet together. I love how she keeps brushing her hair in anticipation for her turning to dog. Lol.
CEW can loosen up a little. I have seen him do better. It’s hard to believe he is a school teacher though. He just looks like a student!

Awww this episode was sweet. It is cute that she is starting to like him and trying her best not to use him as well. Such a sweet show, it is too bad it is only once a week.

Where can I get a shadow like Bo-gyeom’s? That thing is pretty legit.

I continue to find this fun and cute, and that’s really all I need from it. I like that Seo-won is shown to be so competent in so many areas, but also a little socially clueless and bad at other things. I love the relationship between the sisters, and the one they have with their childhood friend. I like that we’re getting hints of who Bo-gyeom might really be, and that they are keeping his mysterious interactions occasional, so that they don’t become annoying.

I really liked Bo-gyeom’s conversation with Hae-na. It’s starting to set up his motivation a little, though the drama isn’t making it super clear in which direction (yet). Would you want to be pushed and pulled by something that you’re barely aware of? It makes the whole story seem fated but at the same time arbitrary, and I’m really enjoying how they are introducing that idea.

I was worried that I was going to end up feeling like there was something missing from this drama, because that’s how I felt about 19th Life and I hadn’t even read that webtoon at the time, but I’m having a great time with this. Yul continues to be a gem, and my favorite moments are the times when all of our characters reassure each other that they are not as weird as they think.

It's a cute drama and I enjoy it, but I don't love it and don't find myself impatient for the next episode. Yet.

After a long wait and a long re-introduction, the series gets to the crux of matter: the curse is not that simple. Hae-na is learning that it is harder to lift than the fear of confessing your feelings to your crush. We also learn from Yu-Na’s dating history that this happens with every new beau . . . and sometimes takes bribery to get a dog kiss. I do find Yu-Na and Woo-Taek are the perfect support team as they try to plan counter-measures to help Hae-Na. I also liked Dog Ma (pun intended) is the librarian of knowledge but both daughters are afraid of her bite. I do wonder if the curse can be permanently lifted or does one have to go through a nightly routine even if one is married.

I thought the wedding arc was the least compelling part of the episode. Adding anxiety driving to Seo-Won’s plate seemed like overload - - an unnecessary attribute. If it was a way to push women away from him, it did not work.

Hae-Na is having genuine feelings for Seo-Won and they are becoming mutual. Bo-Gyeom’s dark monologue on the beach continues to foreshadow his mission to break a part the couple by any means. I don’t think it is jealousy at this point - - - I think it could be their past life romance is what caused the curse - - - and a revival of it in present day could make it worse (perhaps deadly). Again, I don't like this trope in this kind of rom-com.

Park Gyu-Young is really pouring on the Aegyo with cute displays of affection often expressed through a cute voice, changes to speech, facial expressions, or gestures. This is a real big trend recently with Han Ji Min and Park Eun-Bin acting very cute, too in their current shows.

I still love this drama but I'm starting to find Cha Eun-woo too lacking. Especially after rereading the corresponding manhwa chapters (see my fanwall for more on this)

@unit, thanks for the recap !

Bo-gyeom’s true form as revealed by his shadow on the beach: he is a tiger! 🐯

Uh oh, another curse influenced by a member of the Felidae family !

Oh, one more thing, as a psychologist: exposure is going to be the most effective treatment for specific phobia! The only thing is you want the person to stay in the situation for 30 min to allow habituation to occur, and you also don't want to give the person a countdown to when will be over (that reinforces the idea that the anxiety is intolerable and encourages "white knuckling"). Hae-na seemed to be doing more graded exposure with having him in front of a dog in a window, which is very smart.

This show is such a feel-good happy pill, I'm only sad MBC has totally destroyed its scheduling. But Haena and Seowon are cute as pie together, and I love the slow but steady progress in their relationship. He has always liked her, but now he's starting to trust her too, while she is falling for him yet having no idea what's going on. Meanwhile, Yuna, Wootaek, and Yul are bringing the laughs.

Gyuyoung is always great, but I thought Eunwoo did a lovely job with the vulnerability mixed with awe for Haena at the end there. I can't wait for episode 5 (airing in roughly three years), since we'll finally confront the bullying storyline and probably bring up more of his past.

This show is way too cute and heartwarming for its atrocious airing schedule, shame on you, MBC!

SW keeps being endearing. What to wear pre-date montage, awww! Cool driving lessons, bwahaha! Nightmarish imagination of how their dog phobia treatment meetings would look like, omg! Poor guy, he's trying SO HARD yet the object of his super obvious affection remains totally clueless. And not just about HIS crush, but her own rapidly growing feelings as well. Which I find somewhat unrealistic - she was shown in love before, what's with this naive "is this a heart attack?" nonsense, girl? Fine, he's not her type, we've been informed, but to actually dismiss the possibility just because of that? When all signs are there in huge neon caps letters? Hmmm. Guess thick-skulled in romance trait inevitably comes with being a kdrama FL. I did rofl when she told him her convoluted reasoning of why she wants to heal his phobia - to his smitten brain that totally sounded like "I want to spend more time with you" tho, so stupidly sweet))) See, drama misunderstandings can be non-frustrating too! Too bad it doesn't happen often... And I hope we are NOT in for a long angst when he KNOWS and probably thinks all her actions were curse-driven, when it's not only that anymore. History teacher being all cryptic for no reason is already enough. Sand shadow CGI was pretty tho. Tiger, hmm. Another semi-retired mountain god?

SFL is such a waste of screentime, honestly - character is awful, actress is NOT doing even a passable job either... Can't we do away with her completely? I'd rather we focus on good parts instead - OTP going on non-date dates, YR and WT being a dynamic duo (just date already!), Yul being super nice and helpful for a teenager and so on.

Curse-lifting kiss having a consent rule caught me off-guard, but it makes sense, I guess. Still, HN should keep this going - I mean, kissing SW with doggie ears on, pretty sure this will wonderfully stimulate him to overcome his dog fear^^ Can't help but wonder how he'd react if that DID work and boy woke up not to a horror of puppy smooching him, but his crush doing so. Naked. In his very bed in the middle of the night. Someone should write a fanfic about it...

P.S. Whoa, it's been a while since I've seen a drama ML getting red hot jealous and NOT making a scene as result.

You're right @unit: that final scene was sooooooo good - but we need more from your face, CEW! HN's response to the charging dog was utterly swoon-worthy - understanding, compassion, comradeship, protection in one swift jacket throw. We need the worshipping-an-angel-and-then-some expression on SW - and it did not materialise. Sigh.

It took me awhile to reconcile myself to AGDTBAD being what it is, but I've finally come around. The trick, for me, was to class it among C-dramas, not K-dramas. C-drama rom-coms tend to be entirely brainless. You're supposed to not put any mental effort into the premise, just enjoy it for what it is.

It's cute. Female lead is doing pretty good job but ML is bit wooden. I don't find scheduling an issue because it does not have a factor that makes it addictive. It's sweet ,pleasant and thats enough.

Thanks for summing up the episode so well @unit! This show has so much potential but for some reason I am only standing at the edge of mindless, romantic giddyness but I haven't crossed the threshold.

Things I loved this episode:

Yul begging Hae-na to escape that car if she loves her life (too hilarious)
Seo-won learning to look cool driving for Hae-na (too adorable)
Hae-na using her jacket to make a home to protect Seo-won ( too endearing)
Yul is now part of the team on a mission to get that kiss (too sweet)
Seo-won and Hae-na holding hands, and generally getting close to each other (too heart fluttering)

But just as I start to get on my giddy romantic high other things about the show drag me down:

After a two week wait, I felt cheated that one third of the show was a recap of the previous episode. I wanted more new content.

The lighting choices are distracting. I know the intent is make it feel romantic but it takes away from moment. In the previous episode I ignored the lights going magenta suddenly as our leads connected at the bus stop. This episode, no matter how hard I tried to enjoy Seo-won's singing, I kept getting distracted by the wall sconces short-circuiting ...I mean twinkling.

Like others said, I need some more emotion out of Seo-won. More wistfulness and longing when he gazes at Hae-na. But to his credit, I did feel his terror as that dog ran to him in the park.

Finally, another two week wait to see another episode! They are ruining the momentum.

Overall I like the show though. Will keep watching it because I feel like it has all the fixings to take me on happy, cotton candy-sweet high

I am loving this show. Both the leads are adorable with awesome chemistry. The dog is the cutest and I am in love with Seowon. He is such a cutie. Eunwoo is playing this character so well.

The way Seowon changes expression from smiley happy to fear in a seconds during the end of episode. Good job Eunwoo.

It's interesting reading other people's comments. I enjoyed this episode and am still really loving the drama but somehow I didn't enjoy ep 4 as much as eps 1 - 3. Maybe the car stuff was a bit childish for me, and I'm getting slightly sick of the ML's rabbit in the headlights look. I would like to see more of the confident ML, e.g. when he protected the FL against the bullying students.

I've decided to add this drama to my currently watching list, and it's a charming riot so far.
