Good Morning Call

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.

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

'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!

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.

I think I enjoyed this show way more than I probably should have. Timid Yoshikawa Nao gets caught in a housing scam and has to share an apartment with Uehara Hisashi, the most popular boy in school. Japanese shenanigans ensue. This show was so well written, so funny, and so adorable, it made me nostalgic of the time I lived in Japan and Korea. The plots are somewhat typical of what you would find in a teenage girl drama, but somehow, I found myself sucked in. Highly entertaining. The on-screen chemistry between the two leads and that among the supporting cast is phenomenal! Each and every character made me care about them, whether I liked or disliked them, I actually cared about their presence. None of them felt like throw-away characters, adding to the story in some way. I would recommend this show to my friends, and would not be the least bit embarrassed in doing so.
