Good Morning Call, well, the first season was the one which I really enjoyed. Even though I'm not too keen on Japanese dramas, but I was really anticipating on watching this. I was frustrated when I found out that it came out only on Netflix Japan. And now, after a long road and months of waiting, I finally binge-watched it when it showed up on my Netflix account.
Right of the bat, it's definitely not one of my must-see dramas or something that was really enjoyable. I kind of felt obligated to finish it because I've admired the first season a lot. The biggest problem might be that the plot is just too similar to Itazura na Kiss, literally. There are so many non-coincidental similarities in both of the second seasons of these two dramas. And I'm such a huge fan of the Mischievous Kiss franchise, I felt betrayed that Good Morning Call was a rip-off of the original series. I do see some positive things in this series though. For example, the main male lead Uehara had a better attitude in this season, it made me enjoy his character a bit more. Well, Yoshikawa's character was kind of unbelievable, seemed unreal to me. To add, I though the cinematography had improved a lot in this season too! You could see that the budget was higher to draw more people in. 
But overall, with many negative and small positive things, I still rated this an 7* because it was fun and the story seems timeless. I only recommend watching season 1 if you haven't seen this series yet. Season 2 was a waste of precious time in my opinion.
