Call It Love

Sometimes I crave for something overwrought and dreary and this series has been doing it for me. It requires deep character analysis as you aren't watching it for the plot but for the character development that's why it isn't for everyone if you like dramas that have defining stance just skip it .

I'm really loving the chemistry between the main leads, it's developing well not too fast paced and not to cringy. I love as this drama brings out the ordinary details in life and teases out each of the characters motives , and thought process, it's like I'm developing with the characters, seeing their struggles and making decisions with them. But it's also far from perfect there are some fill ins that the writer probably stuffed in a place or two maybe as the drama begins to unfold it would all come to place. So,if you aren't into slice of life dramas or character driven dramas don't watch this it isn't for you, don't go watching it and giving it a bad rating just skip it and save yourself the stress.

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.

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.

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..

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.
