This movie is so underrated! It's truly a hidden gem

Good Morning Call may present itself as a cute J-drama, but it's nothing short of a cringe-worthy mess. The main female lead is portrayed as a helpless, brainless child whose only skills seem to be cooking, cleaning, and cheering up the male lead. Meanwhile, the male lead, the supposed "cool guy," is nothing more than a disrespectful asshole who treats women like garbage. It's infuriating to watch such toxic behavior being glorified, especially in a high school setting where it's excused and even admired by peers. This show not only perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes but also romanticizes a deeply unhealthy relationship dynamic. Save yourself the headache and skip this one. (God I even got a headache writing this review, that's how fucking bad it is)

She's so beautiful! Her skin is flawless for her age..I really believed she was in her early 30s

tysm!

ikr I just found out

Oh thanks! Do you know where you can watch it?

Only took them 8 years

watch at your own discretion though...this should be in the horror genre lmao

kisskh

RIGHT!! her facial expressions are 😙🤌

what happened to this film?

i've been waiting so long to watch it ughhh

she really showed her acting abilities in the glory part 2 and parasite. idk why they didn't give her more roles in 2023 :(

Girly the other person was trying to say that park ji hoon's acting is good and that he's handsome. In no way were they talking negatively about him. Did you misunderstand this person and accuse them of being someone else because of their similar username to queenie23? And it's true that the story plot and direction of this drama is bad, so park ji hoon can't shine in it.

Yess! I'm so excited, I hope this drama does his acting justice

I was so excited for this drama because it has Park Ji Hoon in it...but it's such a letdown 😭 His agency needs to pick better dramas for him so he can shine again like in WHC1.

Honestly lol in the manga Kou never manipulated Futaba

Yes, you're right. It's upsetting that he kissed Futaba and then shortly after abandoned her for Narumi. He's definitely sorting out his feelings and wasn't ready to commit. I think more than anything he needs help. But I still believe his intention wasn't to manipulate Futaba. Kou believes he NEEDS to help Narumi. Kou's unresolved trauma and Narumi's presence is what is holding him back. Hopefully he takes responsibility for his actions in the next episodes and realizes just how much he hurt Futaba.

While it's understandable to feel frustrated with Kou's behavior, especially in his treatment of Futaba, I think there's more to it. Firstly, it's important to recognize that Kou's behavior stems from unresolved trauma and guilt over his mother's death. His reluctance to engage in romantic relationships, including with Futaba, is rooted in his belief that he is somehow responsible for his mother's passing. This deep-seated guilt and self-blame have led him to distance himself from others, including pushing away Futaba, whom he cares deeply for. And yes, this was supposedly resolved in S1 but I still believe this feeling of his is still apparent in S2. Additionally, Kou's interactions with Narumi may indeed be influenced by his own trauma. While it's true that Narumi's presence exacerbates Kou's struggles, it's important to understand that Kou's desire to help her stems from a place of empathy. As someone who has experienced similar pain and loss, Kou sees himself reflected in Narumi and feels compelled to offer support. And, Kou's actions towards Futaba cannot simply be reduced to manipulation or selfishness. His decision to distance himself from her is, in part, a misguided attempt to protect her from his own emotional baggage. While it may seem like he is preventing Futaba from moving on with Touma, try to recognize that Kou's intentions, albeit flawed, stem from a desire to also shield Futaba from heartbreak and pain. It should be noted that Touma basically coerced Futuba into a relationship with him. Touma knew that Futuba likes Kou but still approached her and "came to her rescue" when it was convenient for him. He decided to get involved with two people in love. Ultimately, while Kou's behavior may be frustrating at times, I believe we should approach his character with empathy and understanding. Rather than condemning him as solely selfish or manipulative, it's important to acknowledge the complexities of his trauma and the ways in which it influences his actions. Kou is a deeply flawed but sympathetic character who is grappling with his own demons, and he deserves compassion and support rather than harsh judgment.

Mhm I agree. I just find it odd lol
