Good Morning Call is a Japanese drama based of the Manga created by Yue Takasuka. This had 17 episodes this aired back in 2016 and and then a season 2 called Good Morning Call College Campus which was 10 episodes (2017). This was on Netflix.
The story is about two high school teenager Nao (a girl) and Uehara(boy) that end up sharing an apartment. He is one of the top boys in the school that is smart, and good looking that all of the girls like, and she isn't as smart but she is very friendly and a bit ditzy. (She also smiles a lot). They have to learn to share the apartment, and end up having feelings for each other. They end up having one misunderstanding then another. Plus since they are in high school they are not allowed to be living together and have to keep it a secret from the school.
While watching this the story line sometime reminded me of Itsumi No kiss, but with that being said I enjoyed this drama it makes me want to track down the manga and read it to see if the characters are the same in the manga. While watching this I marathon-ed it, not that I didn't know what would happen next but I liked the characters especially some of the side characters. Sometimes I didn't know how Uehara actually felt but in the second season I think he had more of a personality.
I hadn't watched a Japanese drama in long time so I was happy to stumble on this one. There is one starting soon calleed Bungaku shojo that I may check out. It sounds interesting.
