Chun Ji-hye is a Korean novelist and screenwriter known for moving confidently between romance, fantasy, historical fiction, and thriller. In My Puppy Boy, she combines absurd romantic comedy with a supernatural mystery and detailed observations of pet behavior, reflecting her own long-standing affection for dogs. The novel’s episodic structure and highly visual scenes were shaped by her screenwriting instincts and later translated naturally into webtoon form. Beneath the playful premise, Chun uses the human-animal transformation to explore loneliness, recognition, autonomy, waiting, and unconditional affection, demonstrating her ability to build emotional depth inside an accessible commercial concept.
