The ten quotes from Call It Love are listed below:
“True lonely people are the ones who can’t even say they’re lonely.”
“It may seem to you that people hold themselves back because they’re stupid. But there’s people who really try not to say everything that’s on their minds because if they do, they have to watch the other person get hurt, which is far worse than them holding it in.”
“I was worried. Everyday, I would think about dying. Each time, I drank. And I thought, ‘I’ll just die.’ But if I really died, I was afraid that people would gossip about what happened. I wished for the ground to cave in so I could just vanish.”
“In the end, you’ll be stuck remembering you did something truly horrible like that for the rest of your life. So much for revenge. It’s more like digging your own grave.”
“Anytime I thought life was unfair, I’d read the stories of other people and find scenarios that are a lot worse than mine. Strangely, somehow that helped me feel a lot better and I felt like I could move on.”
“You know you can tell a lot about someone through the look in their eyes. I can tell you won’t go down.”
“We pretend like we don’t notice things about each other and just let it go. It became a habit at some point, so we don’t have deep conversations.”
“There was a poet who once said the following: That if you wanna understand if you wanna forgive, and if you wanna love someone, you should observe how they look from the back for a long while. That if you do just that, you don’t have to unnecessarily try to understand, forgive, or love them because their lonely shadow will have made you cry without you even knowing.”
"Your pain was probably greater. And it wasn't that you were rotten but that you didn't know any better."
"I wondered how everyone else walked forward when I always felt like I was walking backward. I was because I had so much hate in me. Once I let that go, I finally realized."
"I couldn't hate you because the love you gave me was so much bigger than the pain you gave me."
In recent news, Kim Young-kwang was reportedly confirmed for the upcoming dramas Mission 2: Possible, Eun Soo Good Day, and others. Meanwhile, Lee Sung-kyung was confirmed to appear in the forthcoming series The Good Man alongside Lee Dong-wook.
