My family has a secret.

Someone once said,

"There's no such thing as a bad dog."

Yu Na.

So I can never kiss anyone?

However, there's such a thing as a bad curse.

(Year 2020)

Hae Na!

Hae Na.

- Come on, Hae Na. - Hey, hurry.

Hey guys.

Ta-Da.

Hae Na, happy one-year anniversary.

- Gosh, I'm so jealous. - Thanks, babe.

Hey. You two should move in together now that she passed the exam.

- Oh, my. - Congratulations, Hae Na.

- My gosh. - It's a lip-shaped cake.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations, guys.

We're the only couple having their 1st kiss on their 1st anniversary.

What? "Kiss?"

Oh, no. What should I do?

This time,

it looks like it'll be hard to get out of this.

- All right. - Let's party it up.

- Hey, look. - What's going on?

- My gosh. Look at that. - Who did that?

Babe, I'm sorry!

Just like that, another relationship came to an end.

- Hey, wait up. - Hi, cutie!

(Year 2023)

- Hi. - Hi.

Hello.

- Let's go. - Ms. Han.

- Hello. - Yes, hi.

- Hey, I'm telling you. - Stop it.

Hey, I've got big news.

Jun Woo is getting married.

Hey, Hae Na is in this chat too.

- I know. - Hae Na. You're okay, right?

- Of course, I'm okay... - Hey, why wouldn't she be okay?

(Jung Sun Bin)

Hae Na, I'm saying this out of concern.

Will you stay single forever and grow old alone?

What can she do? She has ridiculously high standards.

- It's not that... - Anyway, who's the bride?

She looks familiar for some reason.

Who's up for a drink this evening?

Sorry, I'm going to the movies with my boyfriend tonight.

- Today is my one-year anniversary. - I'm getting this today.

Sorry, I've got plans for this evening too.

Traitors.

Hi, guys.

(Episode 1)

Hello.

- Hello. - Good morning, Mr. Lee.

He's so hot.

Hi, girls.

Why? What is it?

Today is our first day as a couple.

Today is the 24th.

What? Shall I show you the calendar?

Go back to your classroom!

- Ta-Da! - Is that for him?

- Hey, let's ask. - What do you think?

- Isn't this so cool? - Show me.

(Teacher Seo Won)

- Come on. - Hi, guys.

- Where? I can't even see it. - Isn't it so nice?

- I thought this was it. - There's nothing.

- Hey, I got this too. - You bought a perfume?

- What? - Hey, that's nuts.

- But this is... - It's the same thing.

- Hey, show me. - Let me see.

- I thought... - It's not there?

- I can't even see it. - Isn't it so pretty?

Guys, do you see this?

You guys are...

breaking my heart.

Well done.

We have those application forms...

for the volunteer opportunities at school.

Many of you haven't submitted your applications.

Collecting cell phones, sorting recyclables,

taking care of the blackboards. There are still many vacancies.

I'm doing my best...

to help you guys so your student records can look nicer,

so hurry up and apply.

While I'm still talking to you nicely.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Han, stop worrying about our student records.

Shouldn't you worry about improving your appearance first?

I'm all dolled up today.

I'm talking about BUKC.

You need to date, or you won't stop.

What is "BUKC?"

It stands for "Breaking up kissing couples."

Ms. Han. Seriously, why do you do that?

Hey!

Is it because you're jealous?

The one who feels jealous is the loser.

Ms. Han, cheer up.

Hey.

Yes, wish me luck!

I'll take attendance.

- Min A. - Yes.

- Hyo Jin. - Yes.

Hey, BUKC.

Don't call me like that, please.

Why must you break up all the couples that are kissing?

Just leave them be.

It's disgraceful.

I've never done it, but they do it at school.

"Disgraceful?"

Or is it because you're just jealous?

- What? - You told me...

that you wanted to date, but you were an anti-kisser.

You said men always dumped you the moment you told them...

you were an anti-kisser.

I told you. I can do anything and everything except for a kiss.

That sounds even weirder.

Just say no to everything.

Why are you so against kissing?

Don't tell me you've really never kissed anyone.

For real?

Do you have some kind of disease?

Disease?

Uncle, I got a perfect score!

Sure, it's a disease.

What is it?

Come on. What is it?

Gosh, I don't know. Oh, no!

- Are you all right? - Yes, I'm fine.

Is your hand okay?

That obnoxious jerk.

Why do you hate Mr. Jin so much?

He's kind of cold, but he's handsome.

He's very popular with the kids.

I don't hate him.

He's the one who hates me.

Why?

Hey! Bring it back!

That was so cool.

- Oh, my. - Oh, my.

Hello, ladies.

- Oh. Hello, Mr. Lee. - Hello.

That's right. We're all going out...

for drinks later. You'll come too, right?

- Of course, I should be there. - All right.

- You said you had plans... - Yes, I should be there.

We don't go out together often.

Great.

That's right.

We're going to have a barbecue, so eat light at lunch. Okay?

My gosh. He's so sweet.

He's the reason I come to work.

Good for you.

That you have a reason for coming to work.

When will they get here?

They'll be here soon.

There you are. Hello.

My gosh. He's so handsome.

Is Ms. Yoon not here yet?

Oh, she said she had to take care of something.

She'll meet us here.

You must be hungry. Let's go inside.

Clearly, she lied.

I'm sure she's busy putting on makeup now.

My gosh.

Oh, my. This place is like paradise.

Hey, you're so adorable.

Why are you guys all here?

How cute.

Do you like dogs too?

Of course, I do. They're so cute, you know.

You're cuter.

Yes, that's it.

Hey, let's go.

Let's watch them for just a little longer.

My gosh. They're so cute.

Oh. Mr. Jin, did you hurt your hand earlier?

I'll wait inside.

Gosh, that obnoxious jerk.

It's all cooked now.

Here, handsome teachers. Good job today.

Eat up.

Sorry I'm a little late.

It looks so good.

Calm down. You're on edge because you're hungry.

How come no one's drinking?

Oh, here.

As young fellow teachers,

we should hang out like this often...

and go on trips together too.

Yes, I'd love that.

My goodness.

It's lonely to be stuck at home after work.

Right?

I don't feel lonely.

Oh, I see. Mr. Jin, you're like a coy cat.

This is my baby. You look like my baby.

Don't you agree?

Is this your cat?

What a pretty cat.

I guess you like cats too.

Yes, I do. But I like dogs more.

It's because...

dogs are sweet. You know?

Like him.

Good boy.

You're such a good boy.

Right?

One, two.

That was so impressive. My gosh!

Hold on. I need to use the restroom.

- My gosh. - Ms. Yoon is so cool.

That was really cool. Ms. Yoon is so cool.

(Shocking news, guys.)

Shocking news, guys.

Jun Woo is marrying Doo Na.

(Oh, no. Hae Na, are you all right?)

Your best friend is marrying your first love.

(Friends, Let's Get Together)

These rats.

Goodness.

Ms. Han, are you upset about something?

No.

Mr. Lee. You don't have a girlfriend, do you?

What do you think? Take a guess.

If I had a girlfriend, I'd be with her now.

When I'm seeing someone, I go all in.

Then what's your type?

I don't really have a type.

Come on. You must have a type.

I just like...

I tend to fall for women who like me first.

I hate playing games.

I like women who are straightforward. "I like you."

"Do you want to go out with me?"

I like it when they ask me out first.

- I have to answer this call. - Okay.

Wait, Seo Won! It's cold outside. Take this.

He hates it when things are complicated.

Keep it simple. Just go for it.

Go for it?

Ms. Han.

Do you know what I like more than dogs?

It's you.

Really?

So...

ask me out first.

Go for it.

Mr. Lee.

Mr. Lee.

Ms. Han.

Yes, it's me.

Ms. Han, are you all right? You seem quite drunk.

No, I'm not drunk at all.

I have something to tell you.

Earlier, you mentioned...

that you like...

to keep things simple...

and that you tend...

to fall for women who like you first.

You also said earlier...

that you like women who can tell you their feelings honestly.

What I want to tell you is...

I like you, Mr. Lee.

Yes. I'm sure Mr. Lee can embrace a woman like me.

Ms. Han.

Oh, he can talk while kissing?

Are you all right?

Mr. Jin, what are you doing here?

Sorry?

Mr. Jin, your lips...

Why are you wearing this jacket?

Oh, no.

Gosh, I'm so sorry!

Ms. Han.

Ms. Han!

Hey, your purse!

Where is Ms. Han going?

I wonder if...

I think her parents are very strict.

She has a curfew.

Doesn't she just live with her older sister?

I only have a minute left.

When I kiss a man,

I turn into a dog...

because of that darn curse.

Darn it.

Oh, no. What do I do?

Hae Na, don't I look good today?

No, Uncle.

I look better than your dad, right?

No.

You're so playful.

I'm leaving now.

Okay. Have a good day.

My uncle looked perfectly normal...

when he left after saying goodbye in the morning.

Uncle, I got a perfect score!

But he came back as a dog.

Why do you have a mutt?

He's not a mutt.

He's my uncle.

Is his name Uncle?

Uncle. Give me your paw.

Don't annoy our uncle.

He's really our uncle.

Come on. Stop lying.

She's not lying.

My mom told me that our family turned into dogs...

when they were kissed.

Then do you turn into a dog when you're kissed?

Yes.

I'll believe you if you show me.

What?

You didn't turn into a dog.

I'll turn into a dog in a minute.

Mom! It didn't happen.

What didn't happen?

I didn't turn into a dog when I kissed him.

What?

This stop is Hyunseo Station.

It's the last train departing from Hyunseo Station.

(Security system active)

When we see stray dogs on the street,

we always check them out.

Zero,

zero,

seven.

Bang.

Han Yu Na?

What?

Didn't you learn your lesson last time? This again?

Who was it this time?

Who did you kiss, Yu Na?

- What about me? - You startled me.

You... It wasn't you?

That's not you?

Who's this?

That's Hae Na's shoe.

Are you Hae Na?

What is this, Hae Na?

- I can't believe this! - What's going on?

What is this?

What happened? What is it?

What's she saying?

How would I? She can't talk.

She's just barking right now.

What am I going to do now?

Okay. Be quiet.

When she wakes up, she'll be completely naked.

When is she going to turn back?

At 6am.

Then she will turn into a dog at midnight.

For how long?

For 100 days.

If she can't break the curse by then,

she'll live her life as a dog for the rest of her life.

Like your uncle?

She managed to fall asleep despite everything.

You've never been a dog before, right?

Of course, not.

It's such a hassle.

Her body size shrank to a tenth of what it used to be.

But the world hasn't changed.

So to her, the world has gotten ten times bigger.

Then she'll only have to pay a tenth of her original food bill.

Good for her.

No.

Hae Na can break the curse just like you did before.

It's not that easy.

I wonder why your family ended up with such a curse. Seriously.

When your descendants find love and are kissed,

they will take a form that is no longer human.

They must prove the sincerity of their oh-so-precious affection...

to turn back into human again.

My curse will be passed down from generation to generation.

Your family will not be able to escape from my curse.

Are you all right?

What?

What's wrong?

(Letter of Resignation)

A letter of resignation?

Have you gone mad?

I can't work at the school now.

I'd rather die than go back there.

Why not? What happened?

Tell me what happened.

I must have been under some kind of spell.

I was certain it was Mr. Lee.

What are you talking about?

Yu Na.

I must have been under some spell.

That must have been it.

I was definitely under a spell.

- I was under a spell. - You're scaring me.

Let me get this straight.

You thought you had kissed your sweet Korean history teacher,

but it turned out you kissed that obnoxious jerk math teacher?

Because they switched jackets?

Then how did you manage to pass your teacher certification exam?

This wasn't on the teacher certification exam.

What do you think?

Does the dress scream atonement?

Are you going to a funeral?

Why did it have to be Mr. Jin?

He's the teacher I feel the most uncomfortable around.

Anyway, you fulfilled your long-cherished desire.

What?

You had your 1st kiss at the age of 28.

Congratulations.

That wasn't a proper kiss.

His lips and my lips just happened...

to meet.

No.

That's not the right way to put it.

Wasn't that sexual harassment?

You had physical contact without his consent.

I'm a piece of trash.

Gosh. Just go to school now.

Mr. Jin is at school.

Hey, come to your senses.

You do realize that...

you become a dog every night if you don't break the curse?

Darn it.

Hey.

Dab some of this on and get to school...

What are you doing?

Hey, get out of there.

I won't go to school.

No, go to school.

No, I can't!

Darn it, you little brat!

Go to school!

Why didn't you wait for me?

- What did I do? - I told you to wait up.

(Teacher's Office)

Hello.

Good morning.

Your bag.

I brought it for you.

I'm off to do the morning assembly.

- Thanks for doing this. - Sure.

- Ms. Yoon. - What?

Can we talk for a bit?

Did you get home okay last night?

Yes.

About yesterday...

Yes, of course. It's a secret.

Anyone can make mistakes when they're drunk.

Right.

It really was a mistake.

There were no emotions behind it.

It was really, truly, just a mistake.

Of course.

But it was totally a kiss...

Okay. I won't say any more.

Seo Won told me...

not to say anything.

Really?

Yes.

Seo Won may be the quiet type,

but he really is a great guy.

Anyway, I think it would be best...

for you to apologize to Seo Won.

He seemed pretty startled.

Yes.

I should do that.

Of course, I should.

He looks like a statue.

How can a person look like that?

That was a nice approach,

but I think you veered off from this point.

Watch.

There. Understand?

- Yes. - Okay.

(Don't slam the door.)

Hey.

- Did you see Mr. Jin's face? - I did.

Seriously, he just keeps getting more handsome by the day.

I mean, you think,

"He can't get any more handsome than today."

but then, he just gets more handsome the next day.

He just looks the same every day.

He's better than the average lecturer.

I know, right?

He's popular with the kids,

and he's friends with Mr. Lee too.

So, why doesn't he seem to like me?

Is your hand okay?

Since you head home in the same direction as Ms. Han,

you should go together.

I feel a bit uncomfortable around her.

What? Why?

He said he felt uncomfortable around me,

so I've been avoiding him.

Why him of all people?

I'm sorry.

No matter how I think about it, I can't even...

Anyway, I'm really grateful that you kept it a secret.

Honestly, I didn't know you were such a generous person.

Are you sure you're sorry?

I'm sorry.

It was really a mistake.

I know.

You mistook me for Mr. Lee Bo Gyeom.

Yes, how did you know?

How could I not know in that situation?

So why on earth were you wearing Mr. Lee's coat?

Do I have to answer that question?

I'm sorry.

Anyway,

it's fine. It's not a grave sin or anything.

Let's just act like it never happened.

Thank you.

Let's forget about it all.

Excuse me, Mr. Jin.

By any chance,

do you like dogs?

The only way to break this darned curse.

Woo Taek.

It's okay.

It's to kiss the other person while I'm in dog form.

Yu Na.

I must kiss this man again today.

This time, as a dog.

Why are you asking me that all of a sudden?

Well, it's just that I like dogs, so I was wondering...

if you did too.

But why are you getting mad at me?

When did I do that?

Right now.

No, I'm not mad.

Mr. Jin.

As an apology,

- I will treat you to dinner. - What?

Hey! Stop!

Come here!

That's Ms. Han.

Why is she...

She must have something to say.

Please let me do that.

- It's fine. - Come on.

I just feel so uncomfortable about this.

There's no need to feel that way.

Well...

My guilt...

My conscience...

It hurts so much.

I'm sorry.

Why did she ask about dogs out of the blue?

Mr. Jin.

Are you going out with Ms. Han?

What?

I mean, I saw you guys talking very affectionately.

I was just wondering.

Did that seem affectionate to you?

Well, in a way?

Please throw that out for me.

Hey.

Hey!

(Crab King)

Did she mean crabs...

and not dogs?

Let's see how you're doing.

Just one second.

Good job.

- Be careful. - It's okay.

There we go.

- Good. - Push it in.

Dong Chul.

Let's go home. Let's go to my house, okay?

This is so upsetting.

It's okay.

Don't cry.

His BUN, creatinine, and other kidney tests look bad.

He will need to get dialysis.

But we can't operate on his brain tumour...

because he's too old.

How much longer...

will my uncle be able to live?

Don't worry too much.

Some dogs live for six months...

after being given a life expectancy of one month.

So you better lift the curse soon.

Didn't you see Mom crying her eyes out?

First, you should set up a date with that guy...

and ply him with drinks until midnight.

Once he's wasted,

you can kiss him in your dog form, and it's over.

That's easier said than done.

Just set up a date to meet him.

If your plan fails, we'll be there to help you.

Yes, someone should help.

"We?"

Woo Taek,

you know what?

After lifting my curse,

whenever I feel upset,

I want to bite people.

Do you want me to bite you?

Gosh, fine.

I'm going to go to my room.

- Okay. - Okay.

Good night.

Don't worry too much.

She'll be able to lift the curse soon.

Woo Taek.

Do you want to...

do something with me?

What?

Did you discuss this with her ahead of time?

I know she's family, but she still has portrait rights.

Can you move her face a little to the left?

Gosh. I think she'll get mad.

This will all be a memory once her curse is lifted.

Okay.

My goodness.

Isn't she so cute? Look.

I know she's your sister, but...

- She is pretty cute. - Right?

I can't butter anyone up for the life of me.

Hello.

What are you doing?

Goodness. There was just so much dust on your desk.

It's not good for your lungs. Aren't I right?

I was just worried about your health.

I'll take care of my own health.

Of course, you should.

How's your diet?

Do you want me to treat you to some meat?

Some meat and soju?

We really don't click.

But I should still try.

(Bathroom Rules)

Do you not hear your dry hands asking for help?

Sorry?

When you're feeling dry, don't you think some alcohol...

will make your life a lot more shiny?

I don't like humidity.

Then you must hate the rainy season.

What do you think of discussing ways to prepare for the humidity?

Grilled intestines and soju?

That's it for today.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Aren't the students so disobedient?

When you're stressed, pigs' feet and soju are the best.

You're eating like a bird.

When you don't have an appetite, chicken feet and soju are the best.

This is humiliating.

Why is she down in the dumps again?

I'm free tonight.

My gosh.

The operation is happening tonight.

At last.

Mr. Song Woo Taek,

it's today.

Excuse me.

Can we get two bottles of soju?

Room temperature, not cold, please.

I'll pass on the alcohol.

Sorry?

How could you not have soju with stir-fried chicken?

It's a must.

- But still... - But still,

you should because it's a "must."

Then I'll just have a glass of beer.

Excuse me, can we get a bottle of beer...

and the soju bottles?

Beer tastes softer when it's mixed with soju.

I know the perfect ratio. Do you want to see?

I'm okay.

I get drunk too fast when I drink soju.

I need to take this call.

Sure, go ahead.

You have to make him completely drunk...

to the point of him not being able to differentiate...

whether he's dreaming or not...

when the dog who kisses him turns into a human.

Got that?

Even the man who told me he loved me a million times...

treated me like a monster...

when I turned into a dog in front of him.

But you're dealing with...

an awkward and uncomfortable coworker.

You need to make sure he doesn't find out.

More.

More.

Cheers.

Sure.

I'm getting drunk.

She'll transform at midnight. Why are we already going?

You don't have anything better to do anyway.

If you have a problem with it, get yourself a girlfriend.

Do you think I can't?

Well...

I can make a rough guess...

as to why you kept trying to meet me.

Sorry?

Since I'm close with Bo Gyeom,

didn't you want to ask me to act as a middleman?

Yes, that's right. A middleman.

But I'm not sure if I'll be able to do a good job.

I'm pretty clumsy.

Come on.

You don't need to be good.

All you have to do is stay right there.

If you just stay put,

I'll do the rest.

By the way,

why do you hate me?

Why would I hate you?

My point exactly. Why do you hate me?

What did I do wrong?

I've never hated you.

Don't make me laugh.

I keep a disappointment notebook inside my heart.

I remember everything.

During our break last year on April 20,

when all the teachers pitched in to buy snacks...

Darn it. We didn't buy blood sausages.

You disappeared in a flash.

Did you wear an invisibility cloak or what?

Do you remember or not?

I remember.

Also, on Ms. Cheon's birthday last year,

when we went to buy a cake together...

I heard the mango cake is good,

but Ms. Cheon likes matcha.

But that one looks good too.

What should we do?

Do you remember or not?

I remember.

See?

So...

Why on earth do you hate me?

Why do you feel uncomfortable around me?

It's because whenever I'm with you...

There's something like that.

Something like what?

Anyway, it's true that I avoided you because I felt uncomfortable,

but it's not because I don't like you.

I'm sorry if I made you misunderstand.

What do you mean by that?

And I think you misunderstood something about me too.

I like them too.

What?

That animal.

Really?

They're tasty.

Sorry?

They're good steamed...

and in stews.

The stews are good.

Is he picking a fight with me?

Do they not sell soup here?

You have five minutes left. Get out of there.

Gosh. I need to step out for a second. Please excuse me.

Where are...

Mr. Jin, I'm in the alley by the restaurant.

Do you think you can step out for a second?

There is a really cute...

Excuse me, can we get a bottle of soju?

What?

What?

(Ms. Han)

Should I call Bo Gyeom?

Calling Bo Gyeom.

What?

My gosh.

Gosh. I can't get used to this alter ego.

I need to end this "Dog-erella" life as soon as possible.

Ms. Han.

Ms. Han!

Ms. Han.

Ms. Han.

Hey there.

How cute.

Then it'll be over.

Ms. Han.

What? "Dogs" are tasty?

That obnoxious jerk.

I won't have to deal with him once I lift the curse.

Gosh. I can't see.

Aren't I cute?

I'm cute, aren't I?

All right. Now, let's get straight to it.

What?

Don't come close.

What's wrong with him?

Did he see a ghost or something?

What? I don't see anything.

Hold on. It wasn't a ghost.

He's afraid of dogs?

Come on. No way.

That can't be it. Please.

Wait, he's really afraid of me.

No, I'm completely doomed.

Okay. Focus.

This won't be on the test, but let's review.

First,

when I kiss a person of the opposite sex,

I turn into a dog within a minute.

Second,

I stay a dog from 12am to 6am every night.

Third,

if I can't lift the curse within 100 days,

I'll remain a dog for the rest of my life.

Lastly, number four, this is the most important.

How can the curse be lifted?

Yes, that's right.

Fourth, in the form of a dog,

kiss the same person again.

Does everyone understand now?

If you have any questions, leave them on the discussion board.

That's it for today's class.

(A Good Day To Be A Dog)

I heard Ms. Han suddenly disappeared last night.

Did something happen?

Did she see me?

I'm sure you'll be fine on your own.

You kissed him on accident,

so you offered to treat him to a meal,

but you left without paying.

- In his perspective, you're... - A dine-and-dasher.
