Good Morning Call (2016)

This was so hard to watch....

This is the first J-drama that I watched and it was very hard to watch. I had to force myself not to drop it atleast once per episode because the Japanese cultural norms for romantic relationships tend to be so sexist, and easily seen in the male lead character, and even the female lead character. In the first 6 episodes, I hadn't seen the male lead character cook or clean once, the female lead character overly apologies, even when she isn't in the wrong. Additionally, she's obedient to the male lead, and even her male best friend. After watching this, I can sense why romance is dead in Japan.

This is drama is a little similar to Boys Over Flow/Meteor Garden/F-4 in the sense that the school has 3 hot guys whom the female students swoons over, and one female student who isn't caught up in the hype.

I'm not going to drop this drama yet because I want to know what's going to happen with the female lead and the guy who work at the Ramen restaurant.

I dropped it.

Oh wow hmmmmm well i do love me a japanese romance however where on earth was it ,an how come it took her male best friend forever to say he liked her i mean you had a dude who aint even spent time with her confessing his love,do where were u mate.
Nao and uehara did not go together at all i mean scrap the fact that shes irritating as hell and he might aswell be made of ice wheres the chemistry lol she had more chemistry with her girlfriend for petes sake.
I kept cringing every time nao assumed something like firstly that he really liked her to begin with and that he did anything but anyone but his own benefit i mean come on girl,wheres your pride at .
So glad her friend and the guy they hang with got together it was so obvious he liked her it was kinda sweet not to mentionmade watching somewhatbearable,actually felt like the only good part in the episodes that i watched.
What is with this yuri bird ,mate aint u suppose to be married and and adult whats with you dumping your drama on nao,your getting a divorce ok and that has what to do with uehara love ,move on let the dude attempt to find love😔even if it is with s girl who does not seem to have no common sense at all.😒🙄

Cringe

First title ever to go on my "dropped" list.

I watch J Drama as a fun way to study Japanese.
I thought the level would be ok, but the actors are speaking super fast, and mostly shouting, mumbling or whining so I could barely understand a thing.

However the real reason I'm dropping this show is that it makes me cringe every time the school girls are shrieking at the sight of the popular boys.

The feminist in my middle-aged man body can just not take it. I guess the show is aimed at pre-teen girls, but if I knew any, I would forbid them to watch it. It might be supposed to be funny and light-hearted, but I think it's an insult to the intelligence and dignity of school girls around the world. Or maybe not...
