Good Morning Call

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!

'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!

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

Based on the Japanese Manga of the same name,'Good Morning Call' revolves around the slow bubbling romance between protagonists, Nao and Uehara, who, through a series of hilarious predicaments, are forced to become flatmates. What is truly remarkable about this little drama series is it's ability to balance lighthearted, rather animated humour with poignant teenage angst. The two leading characters are simply great together and although they clash at times, their gentle love story is captivating in both it's charm and innocence. Each episode manages feel fresh and equally compelling as the last as new plot lines are constantly introduced, masterfully weaving in character growth too, as the series progresses. If you are looking for a cheerful romantic comedy with a boatload of heart, 'Good Morning Call' is surely a must!

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
