My introduction to asian drama's! And my first and last Japanese drama yet.. I gotta admit that I am a preferrer of Korean dramas but I have to give this show credit for drawing me in and introducing me to drama land. Story: As far as the story goes.. Forced live in situations are my absolute favourite story line so this was write up my alley. I also have a special spot for high school dramas as they tend not to get tooooo melodramatic. This show knows how to leave you at a cliffhanger.. It isn't possible to leave it at one episode.. You have to keep watching till you eyes can't keep open mainly due to curiosity. Another thing I'm a sucker for is when the on screen couple is an off screen couple.. It just gives you a whole other dynamic to think about while watching which I love. I loved the show a lot the first time but when I watched it a second time my opinion fell a lot which means thats its probably not a great show to rewatch. But I like that there wasn't much scheming and 'adults interfering' and it was just simple and sweet.. Characters: I have to shamefully admit that I am a huge sucker for the good girl turning the mean guy nice especially for her so I liked the way the story unfolded. There were times I felt Uehara was unnecessarily mean but Ii guess its the contrast in his personality that makes everything so sweet in the end. Nao was such a sweet and lovable girl that it was impossible not to feel for her. I must say though that there were points where she just seemed too slow and childish which irritated me a lot. Cant say I had any special love for the second leads.. I found Daichi to be to desperate and Issei was better but cmonnn she already has a guy and he is HAWWT. Special shout out to her cool mom and to her amazing friends.. Loved them! I needed to mention the last episode because dramas often tend to lag towards the end and end on an extremely underwhelming note but Good Morning Call most definitely did not. It actually almost brought tears to a generally dry eyed persons eyes.. Uehara was just so perfect and spoiler alert the secrets he had up his sleeve where just so heartwarmingly cute. Overall would definitely recommend it as a one time watch.. Especially if you're into J dramas!
