Good Morning-Call: Guddo môningu kôru

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.

'Good Morning Call' is a hugely enjoyable, heartfelt Japanese romance. After watching the first episode I was immediately hooked. I have never watched a Japanese series before so I was on edge at first, but after the first episode I wanted to binge watch the whole series to the current episode, so that's what I did in the space of 3 days. The actors play the parts of traditional Japanese students perfectly whilst adding an edgy twist to their personalities, well Uehara does anyway. 'Good Morning Call' shows us two people who come together after being scammed in a way which is humorous yet serious. They portray the diversity between the two main characters, Nao and Uehara, perfectly. If you want an easy to watch, heartfelt romance watch this Netflix series. They are still coming out with episodes so watch it now or wait till they finish the season so you can binge watch it all!

A hugely enjoyable series depicting the trails and tribulations of a slow burning romance between two Japanese high school students. I started watching it on a whim and was not disappointed. This series is addicting. The two main leads have sparkling chemistry, I found myself immediately drawn to them. Their characters are opposites in every sense of the word, but boy, do they work well together. There's also a perfect blend of witty, upbeat humor mixed with tear inducing emotional turmoil (had me reaching for tissues on a number of occasions!) Although not a 'grand' drama in its scale, it does extremely well with immersing the viewer with interconnecting plot lines, engaging characters and strong dialogue. 10/10 it's a definitely a must-see!

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

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.
