Call It Love

The cast was good. The storyline was good but it was too slow paced. The main actors were too depressed all the time and the so many unnecessary scenes were dragged for too long. I skipped a lot of scenes to finish the show faster. The personality of the lead actress was so annoying for almost the entire show, I liked her only in a few scenes in the last 2 episodes. Her character wasn't endearing. I liked the story so much but the whole atmosphere was depressing, it could have been done in a better way. The relationship between the main couple was dry. The last scene was my favorite because the characters were more energetic and happy.

It was a good start to the season of Call it love, good story line and easy to follow. Didn't drag, actors gave a great performance but... I felt depressed watching it and wondered why. Basically both the main actors are depressed all the time. I'm not sure why others said it was a feel good, happiness is feel good. I thought perhaps it may improve as the story line was great so kept watching in the hope the story line would take a turn. By episode 8 I started to skip bits just to see the ending and a few parts I wanted to. Sorry, just being honest but the whole thing just leaves you feeling depressed, the story had no hope, just something positive to look forward to. You feel depressed for the actors lives not improving, depressed because of all the unhappiness. It left me a little disappointed actually. I rated it 6, lower than others. Would have been nice to just see some happy bright times and I would have watched all of it then.

When you ruin such a handsome man like Kim Young-kwang (Han Dong-jin) with an unacceptable hairstyle,then you're committing a crime.

As an idea, it was a great story, but the script brought the viewer to the brink of depression.. The main couple with the endless silences, the depressing characters, the meaningless conversations, created a claustrophobic feeling..We've seen them hundreds of times at a table eating like two lifeless bodies, with no chemistry or spark in their eyes..The absolute emptiness.. The main male actor with the endless lonely walks,the messages "to his beloved" on the mobile without emotion, and the same boring style.. The main female actress Lee Sung-kyung (Sim Woo-joo)cold, rude, empathetic, insulting, snob.

I don't think a man with such behavior could have fallen in love with her.

We didn't see a couple in love, but two separate personalities with bad experiences. We didn't see elegance (the main female actress in the eternal teenage clothes) or beautiful moments of love and tenderness..Only at the end did we see some spontaneity for a few seconds, but it's not enough.

16 episodes that could have ended in 8 because the same things were repeated.. The only thing that was perfect was the music. Intense, with high quality.. I saw it because I believed in some change that never came.. Only for the efforts of the actors to endure such depression, my rating is 5..

I read some reviews complaining about slow and boring this show is. If you are looking for a fast paced show/storyline this is not for you. This love story is the slowest of burns. And I didn't even mind that.

The main characters have so much chemistry I was eagerly awaiting their scenes together. The acting was so well, one of the main points I like this series so much.

Just finished the final episode and I would have loved a few episodes more with my main characters (the secondary characters sometimes got a bit too much screentime for my taste (i.e the older sister). But I will take what I can get.

Watching this entire series was very challenging. At times I wanted to bang my head from frustration. There were so many unnecessary filler scenes that made the series uncomfortably long. Like just watching the characters walk down the street and hearing their footsteps, or stare at a campfire and even a virtual one on screen. I tried to fast forward at times but of course when I did, I would miss the one line they actually spoke. I understand the culture in that it is unnecessary to speak to avoid a conflict or hurt the other persons feelings. That is very common in all Asian dramas, but this particular drama takes it to the extreme. In the west we believe communication is key to a successful relationship. If you don't tell me what you feel or want, how can I understand/satisfy you. It's amazing any of their relationships work. All in all, it is a good love story, and the characters performed well. However, be prepared to practice a lot of patience.
