Call It Love Episode 10 Recap
Call It Love episode 10 starts with Dong-jin getting the call about Woo-joo getting hurt. He rushes to the hospital and fumes when he sees Sung-man there. He looks defeated and doesn’t say anything, as Dong-jin just goes at him to beat him to a pulp. Thankfully, Sun-woo stops his friend from doing something bad at a hospital.
As Sun-woo implores Sung-man to end their stupid rivalry, Dong-jin and Woo-joo hold hands, and she apologises to him for everything. The two of them surprisingly joke around with each other, and he asks her to stop apologising because he is sick of the word. She immediately tells him that she is hungry, and the two of them go to the convenience store to get some food. In between, she asks him whether she can go get Ji-gu’s stuff, and he tells her that she can come to get the stuff anytime and that she doesn’t need to feel people out anymore.
Woo-joo is clearly smitten (and blushing!) as Dong-jin tells her that he will be waiting for her. On the other hand, Min-young realises that Dong-jin probably feels some sort of way for Woo-joo. The thought pushes her to start drinking again, but then he remembers Dong-jin’s words, which stops her in her tracks.
The next day at the office, the two continue to stare at each other shyly, and Dong-jin even asks her out to lunch. When Woo-joo asks to pay for it, there’s a visible spring in his step. When Director Kim comes to the office to speak to them, Dong-jin blows him off to have lunch with Woo-joo, not caring about him. At lunch, Woo-joo validates Dong-jin leaving the director sitting at the office and even suggests that they go out for a coffee and a walk afterwards.
At the coffee shop, Dong-jin prepares to go back to the office, but Woo-joo stops him and asks him to wait for another 1 hour. However, she reiterates that he should do what feels right and not force himself to get back at someone. If he really wants to go back, then he should. But if he feels like he needs to stay back, he should do that as well.
Back at the office, Dong-jin turns down Director Kim, and Sun-woo mentions how he seems to have changed somehow. Dong-jin looks like he thoroughly enjoys this new change as well.
The two meet up over the weekend, and Dong-jin asks Woo-joo over coffee whether she’d join him to go camping. A shy Woo-joo agrees to go with him and even agrees to stay the night. On the way to the camping ground, Dong-jin shares why he couldn’t go camping anymore after his breakup. When she asks him why he’s going now, he gives her a wistful look and tells her that he wants to go with her. The answer leaves her quite happy, although she tries to keep it inside.

at the campsite, after some initial conversation with Dae-hong, Dong-jin finally confronts his past as he cleans out his old tent with Woo-joo, and he looks so much happier. Even Dae-hong can see the noticeable change in him. Meanwhile, Hae-sung is betrayed by Su-ho after he tells his friend about her private medical diagnosis that she had to muster up the courage to say. Humiliated, she finds comfort with Jun.
Back at the campsite, Dong-jin opens up about his love for camping and invites Woo-joo to go to his favourite campsite with him. Woo-joo mentions that she doesn’t love camping just yet, but cheekily mentions that she’s been having fun till then. The two of them laugh together, very clearly falling in love.
Call It Love Episode 10 Ending
The next day, Hae-sung nurses her broken heart while Woo-joo comes back home. In the meantime, a frantic Ji-gu tries contacting his sisters but to no avail. As it turns out, their mother is already in Seoul and is presently trying to get into their old house, but her key doesn’t work. Ji-gu gets to her just in time and takes her to Jun’s pharmacy, where he tells her everything. The siblings can’t help but be absolutely scared out of their minds.
It’s a tearful reunion for the four of them, and Woo-joo gets out of the apartment when her mother starts to sob out of frustration. Meanwhile, Dong-jin finally puts the tent in his apartment away, feeling relieved for getting over his sadness and heartbreak, if only a little bit. He thanks Woo-joo for her help, who sobs alone away from everyone.
Call It Love Episode 10 Review
We love an episode where our cold principal characters go through some heavy stuff and show us their vulnerability and their ability to trust. Call It Love episode 10 is absolutely heartwarming because you see these people with huge burdens on their shoulders actually address their issues and process their situations to show genuine human emotions. It will touch your heart to see Dong-jin, Woo-joo, and Hae-sung open up about themselves and show their emotions instead of lashing out or becoming a doormat.
The different beats of the episode were truly sweet and sometimes heartbreaking, and that’s what we need for a show such as this. subtlety is great, but sometimes, the emotional range should be bigger and more pronounced.
Call It Love is streaming on Disney+ Hotstar.
