Love Is for the Dogs (2025) key art

Love Is for the Dogs (初恋DOGs) is a ten-episode TBS "Tuesday Drama" series, a Japan–South Korea co-production with CJ ENM based on the webtoon Dog-like Romance, that aired from July 1 to September 2, 2025. Kaya Kiyohara stars as Aiko Hanamura, a divorce lawyer whose dog falls for the dog belonging to veterinarian Kai Shirosaki (Ryo Narita) during a walk, reigniting a childhood connection between the two just as a wealthy Korean heir, Seo-ha (Na In-woo), complicates the reunion.

Watches

Oris Aquis Date

Worn by Kaya Kiyohara as Aiko Hanamura. Japanese drama-fashion site Arekiru identifies a pink-dial, silver-cased Oris Aquis Date as the watch Kaya Kiyohara wears as Aiko Hanamura in episode 1, during a dog-walking scene, and notes that the same design is also sold in other dial colors. Arekiru's own listing gives no reference number. A second, independent blog names the closest matching retail product as the 36.5 mm Aquis Date in "Brushed Pink Shell" mother-of-pearl, Ref. 01 733 7770 4158-07 8 18 05P, but offers it as a shopping recommendation rather than a frame-verified match, so no specific reference is confirmed for the on-screen watch.

Cartier Santos de Cartier Large

Worn by Na In-woo as Seo-ha. Arekiru identifies a gold Santos de Cartier on a black strap as Seo-ha's watch in episodes 1, 8 and the finale, episode 10, and links Cartier's product page for reference WGSA0019, the Large Model in rose gold on interchangeable leather straps; the square bezel with exposed screws is the visible cue. Because the link rather than the text carries the reference, the appearance is recorded at the Santos de Cartier Large level with WGSA0019 as Arekiru's closest match. Konta Watch Blog also identifies Seo-ha's watch as a Santos de Cartier but calls it the medium (MM) size, so the two sources agree on model and disagree on case size; the row records the Large Model that Arekiru's product link names and leaves the size open.

Cartier Baignoire (unidentified model)

Worn by Na In-woo as Seo-ha. Arekiru identifies a yellow-gold Cartier Baignoire, the maker's oval dress watch, on Seo-ha's wrist in episodes 4, 7 and 10, including the finale scene in which he telephones Shirosaki from inside a car. No reference or size is named, so the appearance stays at the unidentified-reference Baignoire page. The sighting rests on Arekiru alone. (Arekiru)

Piaget Polo Chronograph G0A49024

Worn by Na In-woo as Seo-ha. Arekiru identifies the steel watch with a green dial that Seo-ha wears in episodes 2, 3, 6 and 9, including the scene in which he telephones his father, as a Piaget Polo and links Piaget's product page for the green-dial steel Polo Chronograph, reference G0A49024, whose cushion-in-round bezel and integrated bracelet match the description. The reference is carried by Arekiru's product link rather than its text, and the sighting rests on Arekiru alone. (Arekiru)

Piaget Polo Date G0A47014

Worn by Na In-woo as Seo-ha. In episode 4 Arekiru records a different Piaget on Seo-ha, a black-dial steel Polo Date, and links Piaget's product page for reference G0A47014, the steel Polo Date with a horizontally guillochéd black dial. The reference comes from Arekiru's product link rather than its text, and the sighting rests on Arekiru alone. (Arekiru)

Luminox Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant

Worn by Riku Hagiwara as Kosuke Watanabe. Probable identification. Veterinary nurse Kosuke Watanabe wears a black-cased diver with a green dial and military-style details in episodes 1, 8 and 9. Arekiru identifies it as a Luminox Leatherback SEA Turtle without a reference; Konta Watch Blog names the 44 mm Leatherback SEA Turtle Giant XS.0337, the green-dial, orange-accented version on a black NATO-style strap, which matches the colours Arekiru describes, but neither source shows the case size or dial on screen.
