I think we are so used to fast-paced dramas with lots of exaggerated acting (not a criticism btw, I love it as well), that such dramas as Call it love may feel slow or boring to some, but it's honestly so refreshing every once in a while to see something so calm and understated. The acting was impeccable, and it felt like I was watching real people being themselves, rather than characters. Love it, although it's a bit sad especially towards the middle and part of the end.
idk why the hell the writers just decided to ruin the drama in the last episodes. Suddenly, ML is a different character, a doormat. He's apologizing left and right, even to people who wronged him or even commited crimes against him and FL. Even the actor became stiff, maybe even he realizes they took all the spice from his character. Really disappointed because I was genuinely enjoying this drama so much, even when the ML was a jerk because it was funny. I enjoyed the part where the leads were enemies a lot. I also was genuinely squealing as the romance was starting to unfold. Now I don't think I'm willing to finish it, even though I have just 3 quarters of the last episode left.
I definetly agree with you. Hui Seong's story felt less like a proper plotline and more like the writers wanting to include a forced message about different and unconventional relationships, but it just felt off. I don't get what they even want me to think? "Open relationships are fine and harmless?" but they showed everything that can go wrong: a child with an unknown father, friends misunderstanding, jealousy from the other girl... it was really confusing.
And I had the same thoughts about the ending. I didn't understand why she had to break up with him for a second time. when she found out he was lying to her and got mad, that made sense. But after a tough time where he was as present and loving as a real husband would be, she decides "Yeah no I don't want to be happy"? The forced breakup trope needs to die and never be brought back.
My stupid ass thought the older brother was Kiho and was shipping him so hard with the Mokha, so when it was revealed that the younger brother was Kiho, I had to take a break from the drama to recover from my accidental second lead syndrome :')
