Good Morning-Call: Guddo môningu kôru

Stumbled across this show and just finished season 2. I was quickly hooked even though I had never watched a Japanese show, let alone a Japanese high school romance.The actress that plays Nao is simply incredible, she can portray every emotion possible in a believable way. The chemistry between Nao and Uehara is obvious, and their slow developing romance is at just the right pace. I loved seeing the nuances of Japanese culture ( the bowing, the apologies, the conservative treatment of sex, the obsession with Food !)

few shows go from hysterical LOL scenes to making me tear up really hoping for a season 3

Wow o wow. After "Descendants of the Sun" I was looking for another romance. And I was not disappointed. I have watched it twice already.

First of all Nao (the actress) is an incredible actress, and she is only 18, she plays all emotions really well and does comedy body humor really well too.

The writing is surprisingly deep and complex. It is taken from a Manga series so maybe thats why.

I just want to comment on some who said that it is misogynist. I don't think it is. Let me tell you how I see it: He: He comes from that background so has closed himself off from the world. To his credit even if all fawn over him, he just ignores them and just does his own thing and doesn't want people bothering him She: she is such an extrovert, loved by many, and it took somoeone like her to draw him out. He is so closed emotionally and through the series she brings him out.

So I don't see it as misogynst.

I cant recommend it high enough

Have watched Season 1 & 2, and am completely, unashamedly, hooked!It is one of the most enjoyable rom coms that I've watched. I know it's adapted from a Manga story but it is well written and going on my teenage experiences, even though I never went to uni, the depiction of teenage angst and insecurities is very close to what was mine. The actress casting for Nao was well judged, she plays it very well as I identified myself with her when I was eighteen, and the fact that I met my husband at that age. Enjoyed it so much that I've watched season 1 4-5 times so I've got to know and understand the characters better, all played very well. As season 2 was only 10 episodes, am hoping there will be a season 3. Season 2 was a bit more of a emotional roller-coaster as the characters evolve from teenagers into adults, well that is if there is a season 3. Am still laughing at the comic situations, better than some of the other south east Asian romcoms. I'm sure I've read on another site, the author did a trilogy, so keeping fingers crossed. Nice to see some Japanese culture, although I identify there is a lot of American influences. My husband has visited Japan several times and found their sense of humour very close to the British.

It's cute, but it got boring half ways through the first season. I'm not familiar with the Japanease culture, custom, and behavioral expectations for both males and females, but I hated how insecure all the female characters were. And man the lack of communication between characters is frustrating. Like please just tell him/her how you feel and get to the point. I really just stopped caring for the characters, especially the main female lead... I wanted to see her woman up, but as the episodes dragged on it was becoming clear that she wasn't going to. Overall, the cast was great, many cute and funny screens, and lots of female insecurities... and don't forget big male egos.

Honestly a genius endeavor into the romantic minds of the modern Japanese teenager, struck with such worries as boys, girls, boob size and ramen. Never has such a gripping story-line been written and the fact that it comes from the far east just leaves me baffled, Hollywood has been truly put to shame. With interconnecting plots tackling many issues which leaves the audience witness to the members of the cast being pushed to their absolute limits in some enthralling scenes of true romantic dilemma, while at other times showing the true pros of friendship, which move the plot forward, whilst simultaneously teaching us all a little something about ourselves. 10/10 loved every second which I spent watching this amazing journey into the next generation of cinema.
