Call It Love (2023)

They are both slow burn romance dramas. Both dramas keep you on edge waiting to see what is going to happen next. The characters are relatable and intelligent. They are both modern stories and don’t follow a typical formula.

Life's difficulties can take a toll on anyone, and this romantic melodrama portrays the story of a man and woman who are deeply affected. Through their growing empathy and understanding for each other, they embark on a transformative journey filled with new emotions.

Sim Woo Joo's life takes a turn for the worse after her father's death, when she's forced out of her home by his mistress. Seeking revenge, she approaches Han Dong Jin, the son of her father's ex-lover. As she spends more time with him, she realizes that she's fallen in love. Han Dong Jin, a workaholic with a lonely life, finds his world turned upside down by Sim Woo Joo's arrival.

Mature themed but very different dramas
call it love has angst and is more melo
but the directing is similar and very slow paced with slow conversations

Same melancholic mood. In both shows it's portrayed how lonely and miserable the leads live/feel on a daily basis until they meet each other.

Just like the leads in call it love. The characters here are burdened by past too but for different reason. You will find roller coaster of emotions here too and this was underated drama of 2014.

If you like slow burn romance dramas, where characters has painful pasts and face challenges to overcome their misery then Call It love would an ideal choice for you. It is wonderfully written and directed in an extraordinary manner that will help you feel the pain of the main characters.

similar plot
goes to take revenge but fall in love with that person
both male lead are lonely
female lead is lonely too

While watching "Welcome to Samdalri", I was reminded of "Call it Love" because the male lead's father in Welcome to Samdalri was against his relationship with the female lead because of the grievance he had with the female lead's family while in Call it Love, the female lead's family was against her relationship because of the grievance they had with the male lead's family. So, in both dramas the main leads had to struggle through these family issues and heal to finally be together.
However, "Welcome to Samdalri" is lighter and more heartwarming, whereas "Call it Love" has a more serious tone.
So, if you enjoyed the healing aspects of "Welcome to Samdalri," you might find "Call it Love" enjoyable despite its more serious tone.

Slow paced and about leaving the past behind and looking for happiness. The FL is a damaged character which lives in the auto-pilot while dragged by family and political issues.

Although completely different genres and contexts, the dynamics between the leads are similar (slow burn, enemies to lovers). FMC in Call it Love and MMC in LoN both seem "unhinged" and cold hearted at the start. Both are also intent on their revenge above all else, but gradually open up their hearts to love. Both series are angsty in their own way, but relative to each other, I would recommend watching Call it Love after LoN as a comfort watch. Also, the male leads are those tragic, miserable type characters that audiences can't help but want to pity.

Although lovestruck in city is about forging stronger relationships which is similar to Call it love
