This Korean romantic series that just arrived on Disney+ will win your heart

It’s not easy to meet one korean romantic series to achieve such a high score among the imdb Users, but considering all that it offers ‘Call It Love’, no wonder the first two episodes available on Disney+ have reached nothing less than an 8.3.

This series premiered yesterday on the platform, specifically in its Star adult section, and has already caused a sensation among fans of the Korean industry. Disney+ will release new episodes every Wednesday until complete the 16 one-hour chapters of which it is composed.

The official synopsis of this romantic melodrama reads as follows: “A young woman whose life was destroyed by her father’s lover decides to take revenge by attacking her son. However, as she gets to know him, the young woman falls in love with him and their revenge is complicated by mutual attraction”. Come on, a well-known narrative but to which ‘Call It Love’ adds some novelties that have won us over.

Shim Woo-joo (Lee Sung-kyung) and Han Dong-jin (Kim Young-kwang) are the leads of ‘Call It Love’. She plays a young woman angry with life because her father abandoned the family to go with another woman. This, in addition, was a friend of her mother and cWith the departure of the parent they have left the fourth question because they have taken all the family savings and valuables. A chore.

When 13 years pass, Woo-joo shows up at his father’s funeral with the intention of humiliating him and his widow, Heeja, but everything takes a turn for the worse when the attendees They tell her that she has decided to sell the house in which the young woman’s family lived for 20 years. The widow claims it as part of her legal inheritance and the girl is eaten by demons. To get revenge, she targets Heeja’s son, Han Dong-jin.

Woo-joo stops playing important and becomes determined to get revenge on Heeja, instead focusing on her son, Han Dong-jin, who she believes is just like the mother. But she will be puzzled realizing (tachááánnn!) that he is a sensitive man with a big heart.

There is a very important part in ‘Call It Love’ that you have to watch it for and that is the amazing work that has been done with the Photography. The director, Lee Kwang-young, defined the aesthetic of the Korean romantic series as “a reddish sunset.” and that is what they have tried to convey, colors in the range of cold pink to evoke melancholy and intimacy.

These colors, according to the filmmaker, should “express the emotions of the characters when interacting with the world around them” but she goes further because they end up differentiating ‘Call It Love’ from the rest of the series of its type and excite the viewer, who forgets revenge to focus on the heartbreaking drama behind it.
