K-drama Review: Call It Love (2023)

This review contains spoilers.

I love how Korea keeps coming up with these shows that are about two lonely people who develop a quiet, gentle love. My Mister, My Liberation Notes, and Because This is my First Life are what come to mind. A recent entry is Disney+'s Call It Love, about two people who meet because of an act of revenge but end up falling in love.

Woojoo (Lee Sung Kyung) and her siblings get kicked out of their home by their father's mistress after he dies. Woojoo, dubbed "crazy" by her siblings, finds out that the mistress sold their house and gave the money to her son, Dongjin (Kim Young Kwang), the CEO of a young event planning company. She applies there as a part-time employee to destroy Dongjin's life, but learns that he's a gentle soul who has lost the will to fight for himself. She starts caring for him, then gradually, they fall in love.

What I like about their story is that, although it started with lies, every interaction between them was sincere. Woojoo's words are abrasive but she is honest and caring in her own way. Dongjin is often quiet and chooses his words, but whatever he says is earnest. They spend time together, often in silence, but that's what makes their connection deeper. They are together in their loneliness and end up bringing each other comfort.

Although part of me did feel like Woojoo's and her family's lives revolved too much on the consequences of what their father did, I liked how they all learned to heal and take responsibility of their own future. Overall, Call It Love is all about forgiveness, of choosing love. Even for Dongjin, who learns to forgive his ex who cheated on him and left him, and his mother, a constant toxic presence in his life.

In a way, it is also about choosing yourself. Woojoo, who initially had no dreams for herself and cared only about what she wanted for her siblings, finds a job that she's passionate about doing. Dongjin, who used to just go through the motions of life, ends up leaving the company to do what he feels alive doing.

Oftentimes, I found myself wanting to screenshot scenes from this show because it captures loneliness so beautifully. It also doesn't hurt that Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Kwang are both beautiful, tall people who have immense chemistry and bring depth to the characters.

If you ever come across this show, make sure to check it out. Prepare yourself for tears, though.

i watched about 20 kdramas this past month and the top 5 are

number one : The Glory

anyone who watched this will tell you that this is one of the best shows they've watched, the plot is just the absolute best it just kept getting better with each episode, the writers were just on fire the entire time from ep 1 to 8 the dialog was written perfectly.

The Cast. the cast was perfect, could not have chosen better people to play the characters, whoever casted them deserves a medal THE GUY WHO PLAYED HA DO YEONG (yeonjins husband)

also Song HyeKyo !?!?! she killed it ive seen her act mostly in romcoms and this was very different and she nailed it

Lee DoHyun !!?!?! i thought he'd play a chill character OH BOY WAS I WRONG

anyway ill type out the rest later im going to go take a nap

Hand placements during make out scenes are very important.

They make me feel things

The subtle slip of the thumb around the throat.

Hands on the mouth

And the "what do I do with my hands"
