It's been over two years since I first watched this show, and it remains one of my favorite shows I've ever watched. It was the first drama I tried and I fell in love straight away. I thought the initial set-up— Uehara and Nao being tricked into renting the same apartment and thus being forced to live together— was campy and funny, and it set up for some great humor as the show went on. The situation was just absurd enough to be funny, but handled very well throughout the story.

I liked Nao a lot as a main character, though sometimes her passiveness and her lack of communication frustrated me. Still, as a teenage girl entering into her first relationship, it was realistic and I was always on her side. And even though Uehara wasn't my favorite of her potential love interests, he was a really good character to follow. I enjoyed him more and more as we got to know him and his own life situation over the course of the series.

I liked Nao's friends a lot, as well! Marina was funny as hell, and Mitchan was sweet and funny. Their relationship was a cute side plot.

I did end up liking both of the secondary love interests more than the main love interest. I especially loved Daichi— that scene where he hugged Nao in the rain grabbed me by the heart and made me almost cry! I wanted her to just be with him so badly. Issei was also a really great love interest, and I appreciated how different he was from both Uehara and Daichi. It would have been really easy to make him a Daichi 2.0, but he stood on his own and would have been well-suited for Nao, I think.

I have such fond memories from watching this show. Specifically, coming home late at night from work and thinking, "At least I have time to watch Good Morning Call before bed!!" It was truly a bright spot in my daily life as I watched, and I will definitely be watching again.
