Korean Drama Call It Love is a painful romance
Story
After Woo Joo’s father passes away, his mistress kicks her and her siblings out of their home. So, Woo Joo hacks a plan to take revenge on her by approaching her son, Dong Jin, and ruining his company. However, she will start having feelings for him.
Korean Drama Call It Love is a slow-burn melodrama about family and revenge.
The drama has original cinematography that suits the story and makes it even more interesting.
The romance was, in addition, pretty intense. However, as the drama was moving toward its conclusion, it was clear that the love story was more about logging rather than a satisfying romance.
Still, the family drama made up for it. The siblings’ bond was the highlight of the drama, and their story was entertaining and fueled the series with emotions.
Characters
