The drama is written by Yue Takasuka, Keiko Kaname, Yuna Takasuka, Rieko Obayashi and Yu Kanda, and directed by Yo Kawahara and Takashi Fujio. Good Morning Call contains 17 episodes and 2 seasons, with season 1 containing 10 episodes and season 2 also known as Good Morning Call - Our Campus Days, containing 7 episodes.

Nao Yoshikawa stays behind to live by herself when her parents leave to inherit her grandpa's farm in the country. On the day she moves into her new apartment, she discovers that it was rented also to Hisashi Uehara, a cute, super-cool, popular guy from her school. Not only did their housing agency unexpectedly close down, the landlord of the apartment tells them that they had to pay more for their apartment than they had expected. With no money and no home to return to, Nao and Hishashi decide to live together as flatmates.

Both seasons are available to watch on Netflix, which is where I came across it. Good Morning Call was in fact my first Japanese drama, which you may find odd seen as I'm a fan of anime and manga. I was really excited back in 2017 when I received an email from Netflix telling me it had got a second season as I'd really enjoyed the first. I'm hoping that someday we get a third season as I love all the cast and the characters. While the story is your typical romance plot, I still couldn't get enough of the characters and felt myself getting conflicted on who I wanted it to all work out for. For me Good Morning Call had it all, romance, comedy, suspense and it had me feeling the emotions they were feeling meaning they were telling the story properly. I do hope it gets a 3rd season as I would love to see how their story would conclude, would it be a happy ending for all or would friendship outweigh feelings of love.
