Cha Eun-woo and Park Gyu-young made some interesting revelations at the press meet of A Good Day to be a Dog in Seoul today, including whether they are scared of dogs in real life or not. Park Gyu-young revealed that her character has a crush on Lee Bo-kyum but has a romantic track with Jin Seo-won, as he is the antidote to her curse.

The Celebrity fame star revealed that the True Beauty actor is actually four years younger than her, despite their debuting in the same year. But despite their age difference, he brought in his unique charisma and amiability on set and to Jin Seo-won's character.

"He was present with reliable energy on set. He delivered bright energy while also holding the balance down firmly."

Parallely, Lee Hyun-woo and Park Gyu-young are of the same age, but professionally, he is much more senior than her. She confessed that she learned a lot from him, and he is a delight to work with.

As for her character, the Dali and Cocky Prince star shared that Han Hae-na is a much more vivacious person and has good energy and stamina.

Cha Eun-woo disclosed that he is about 70 percent similar to Jin Seo-won, and like his character, he is introverted and doesn't mingle with people easily. Furthermore, he shared that he often hears from people that he gives off a cold impression and thinks these are similar elements between him and his on-screen character.

When talking about their real-life relationship with dogs, both Cha Eun-woo and Park Gyu-young had starkly opposite views. The Sweet Home star confessed that she isn't close to dogs in real life, and the Love So Fine singer shared that he is not actually afraid of dogs in real life. In fact, he loves dogs, as his mother is raising a pet dog in their family home.

Lee Hyun-woo dished on his expectations of the viewership ratings goal by confessing that he hopes A Good Day to be a Dog clocks 8.5 percent viewership ratings. Cha Eun-woo and Park Gyu-young chimed in and revealed that they too hope their quirky romance drama garners 8 percent viewership ratings. They vowed that if the drama surpasses 8 percent viewership ratings, they will volunteer at a dog-friendly cafe or abandoned dog protection center.
