Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

Worst kdrama ever

This is what happens when Netflix gets involved. It revolves around money and their need to make a season 2 out of it. It was so slow paced and boring that I had to skip the endless flashbacks, slow motions and scene cuts the whole time. There is no character development and they skip over important parts pretty quickly, but drag out the unnecessary parts where the characters walk in slow motion. Also, all characters except for the one who’s getting nothing out of it, seem to be bad people. These characters are far from realistic.

The only reason I kept watching was because of Sun Oh’s good looks. I hate it and I don’t want to watch Netflix Original kdrama’s again.

I'm speechless

It's the worst kdrama I've ever seen. It's heart breaking, my waiting for 2years gone waste. Hate the story and end of this drama. Worst ending. So guys it's better not to watch this drama it really can break your heart. I hate jojo's character the most cause she ruined everything I really hate her. Why director didn't think about our feelings, expectations. Everyone wanted to see jojo and sun oh together but at the end sun oh got hurt. They didn't placed the end well. He also loved jojo and it was jojo's fault to leave him and why he suffered this much why jojo didn't give him a chance if she didn't ruin everything then it would be a happy ending

So lame

It shouldn't have ended so badly, I didn't watch last 10 (ten) minutes of the last episode because I was so over the storyline. Why does a review have to be so long? Anyways, it was so, so bad. I thought things would get resolved in second season and it would be a happy ending. Which kind of did happen. Everyone who's curious should check out for themselves if you're confused by my review. I guess I still don't have 500 (five hundred) characters. Will this be enough now? Omg, what else do I write, I don't want to spoil things for people, just wanted to voice my displeasure over what happened, this isn't why I stayed up all night?

Wasted opportunity...

I get why everyone is so upset with the show and how it all turned out but I still think that there are things that should be appreciated and people seem to miss that fact... (So I really felt the urge to write a review for the first time)

I watched this show in a marathon yesterday and I didn't get bored. That for me means that the story is catchy and that itself is a great thing in kdrama. I personally loved the atmosphere, cherry blossoms, red and yellow ... the scenery, and the work with a camera made the drama look like a high-quality drama. It is overall darker than season 1 but I honestly didn't mind that much.
So now the highlights in the cast. Many people were disappointed that Hye Yong didn't get enough screen time, well he got more than what I expected in the second season! So if you are team Hye Yong you should watch it. I honestly fell in love with Jung Ga Rams acting and I will be waiting to see him again in another drama. The next character that grew on me is Gul Mi. I think she made big progress from being a school bitch to a more responsible and appreciatable person.

Another thing that caught my eye is how writers tried to put reality into the story as well, like how people who like each other don't need to stay that way forever, that people can change. Also, I'm glad that they tried to avoid some cliches (- Gul Mi and Dok Gu for example don't end up together like in a fairy tale). There were some wise words that made me think too. The story itself is good.
And the most important thing... Have you ever seen a kdrama in which the second male lead doesn't end up being the second male lead at the end? I have never seen a thing like that and the writers have my respect for that decision because that really blew my mind! I have never expected it to turn that way ... BUT

A the same time (this morning when I got over the fact that my boy won) I realized how messed up this thing is and how they could have done a much better job when they kept us waiting for 2 BLOODY YEARS!

I will keep it short because many reviews basically already said what I had to say.
First thing, I am a Hye Yong stan but for the whole time, I felt so sorry for Sun Oh. They made him look like a wreck. He got only a little screentime, much less than he deserved. Also how he ended up was literary sad, he seemed forced into a relationship that didn't work for already a really long time, and in my opinion, he didn't look happy at all!
The story is a mess. Not only they didn't explain what happened at the end of season 1 it looks like a whole different show. And also what the hell was the thing with Hye Yong's dad I still don't get it and it is not the only one. Jojo looks pathetic and I just can't sympathize with her at all. I really pity her friend at the school. And the last thing WTF was the whole Brian Choi thing and what actually happened to Dok Gu?! These are the main things that really angered me and there is more.

I wrote this review because although this drama is not the best it has its highlights and I honestly quite enjoyed watching it!
I just feel that with what they had they could have done a real masterpiece... This all is just my opinion!!!


(I'm not English speaku master so if you find some mistakes I'm sorry)

Never felt pain like this

I have never felt more frustrated and annoyed with a Kdrama before, I literally have an assignment due in 2 days, which I have barely started FYI, but I chose to watch Love Alarm instead, BIG F****** MISTAKE. I waited 2 years for season 2, only to find out that Jojo doesn't even end up with Sun-oh, are you kidding me????? The two people who were literally made for each other and had the most chemistry didn't end up together? And you wanna know how I found out??? I googled it. because when I got halfway through episode 4 something felt off to me so I gave in and googled, only to find out that the ending is complete BS. I really wanna sue Netflix for this emotional trauma. I may sound like I'm exaggerating, but oh my god if you saw the look on Sun-ohs face, I felt so bad for that poor puppy, he suffered the entire two seasons, his friend literally stole the love of his life and his dad is the worlds biggest prick. And to be honest, Fricking Hye-Yeong was a shit friend, as soon as he saw Jojo again he jumped at the opportunity to go after her, despite what had happened between her and Sun-oh. Hye-Yeong's character felt forced and honestly he was so boring, and what was the need to bring his dad into the picture, it just felt like they were trying to make the storyline interesting which did not work at all. I haven't even finished the drama, I can't bring myself to finishing it because I know that all I will feel is anger and disappointment. I didn't like Sun-ohs girlfriend either, like grow a damn backbone and go after a guy that will return your feelings. And as much as I liked Jojo, she pissed me off too but let's not get into that.
This drama was toxic in a way, it was kind of teaching us that it's okay to be with someone who doesn't feel the same as you, which honestly isn't healthy at all, that type of pain isn't worth it. You should be with someone who loves you for you and doesn't inflict any emotional or physical pain on you.
Rant over I guess, probs gonna cry myself to sleep.

Why I liked this season of Love Alarm and why you should hear me out

Guys, I know most of you are mad but hear me out!
To me, this season made sense. It was not as aesthetically beautiful as season 1 was (honestly, season 1's beauty was the reason I watched this drama ) nor it was as engaging. But I genuinely liked it.
Let me tell you all this, we all fell for Song Kang and not Sun Oh (if you did fall for Sun Oh then please get some help) Sun Oh was madly in love with Jojo, to a point where he was possessive and he was obsessed with her. He got frustrated when she didn't reply to his texts and he always clung to her like some leech. The first episode of season 1 made me really not like Sun Oh (I watched the first season only a few days ago and I thought I was ready to make Sun Oh my next kdrama boyfriend because of the hype he got from people saying that he's the sweetest ) I didn't have any prior info about this show so my opinion is really unbiased. But Hye yeong was too sweet. He didn't do much and practically gave up when he found out that Jojo likes Sun Oh and I respect that about him, because Jojo already liked Sun Oh so he didn't try to change her feelings or anything (not to mention that he still remained good friends with Sun oh and told him to be there for Jojo) Here's the thing : Sun Oh wanted Jojo to be happy with him but Hye Yeong wanted Jojo to be happy. It didn't matter if the person who made Jojo happy was him, Sun Oh or someone else). In season 2, Sun Oh becomes this obsessive ex, he went wherever Jojo went and demanded for an answer. Honestly, I do agree that the reason that Jojo dumped Sun oh was extremely dumb. They were in a relationship so they should've talked about it (they must've done that) but Jojo decided to become a dumb bitch and didn't explain herself and I really wished she did. Although I do feel bad for Sun Oh but I like how they didn't stick to the "first love" bullshit. It happens so often in kdramas (and all dramas honestly) when in reality, it hardly comes true. I was also a bit upset about the ending, not because Sun Oh and Jojo don't end up together but because Song Kang and So Hyun have great chemistry when the other actor and So Hyun don't have that much. They look cute but chemistry? Nope.
Trust me, if I were Jojo, I would've picked Hye Yeong any day because I've been in a similar situation like this. The guy may love you a lot but is he any good for you? Let's be honest, who would you choose? A guy who loves you to death but he's possessive and literally so fucking obsessed with you that he doesn't even leave you alone or a guy who loves you, respects that fact that you like someone else and still waits for you without genuinely wanting his feelings to be reciprocated? If you choose the former, trust me you really really need some help because possessive behaviours and stuff like that shouldn't ever be romanticised even when the person is smokin hot and is madly in love with you. It just shouldn't.
Many of you would hate me for writing this but with time, you all will realise it.
PS: I gave this season an eight out of ten because of its acting, music, some really beautiful shots. Not because of the ending or the poor writing.

Jojo's Growth Above All Else

I'm seeing way too many 1 and 2-star reviews of the second season just because people are upset at the endgame, which is totally unfair. The second season allowed Jojo to find her own happiness and make the choice to love and to be open. Hye Young's patience and understanding was rewarded, and Yuk Jo provided the comfort and safe space Sunoh needed.

If I have a critique, it's actually that nothing came of the anti-love alarm movement and the app wasn't dismantled. But Jojo herself grew out of dependence on it and learned to trust her love without it, so that's good enough for me.

Terrible

Ok so not going to lie but i skipped to the very end just to see who see ends up with, and was highly disappointed to see it was not SO. Anyways i went back and started watching from the beginning. I hated how they showed SO in this one. Anyways i highly recommend you don't watch it. I was so excited for this drama, and then they gave me this.
ok so apparently this needs to be 500 characters so im just gonna keep on wirting till this allows me to submit. fbadfjbdfubdfjbdfb fhfha efh ufha fu e uheu huf hu euf euh e h h ef i hi u ho i o o ii i i i i ii ii hy y h hu hu hiuy gyvy vi ugh 8 h iuh u h g h k jk xdfe efgf dfs df sdgv fvf v sdfv cv xd fs rf adg f fg f gfg a dfsdfadf f hrge a s c vrht h s

Cute but kinda dumb

Along with everyone else who watched Love Alarm in 2019, I was looking forward to season 2 so much. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't LOVE season 1, but I thought it was interesting and it definitely grabbed my attention.

There are many thing's that went wrong with season two. I shall proceed to list a few, but I don't want to spoil so I will be very vague.

1. Too Short - I feel like this is an obvious one considering there are only 6 episodes.

2. Underdeveloped Characters - Just when I thought we were gonna get some juicy background on someone, they left us hanging. There were new characters introduced, but I still can't comprehend their relevance to the storyline.

3. Acting - Okay, please don't come for my head. THEY'RE CUTE, I KNOW! But you have to admit, the acting is a little bit on the overly dramatic side from time to time.

4. Climax - I don't know... what the climax was? Where was it? When?

5. Effects - Only good effect was the rain. That's it.

Don’t focus on who Jojo ends up with, focus on the overall message of the story

I absolutely loved Love Alarm 2, I know many people are mad because Jojo didn’t end up with Sun Oh and because of that they hate on the drama but they are missing the important point here, SunOh was her first love but because of her past and her scars she broke up with him and then Jojo met Hye Yeong and she was given a new chance at love, because of him Jojo learn to not run away from her problems anymore and be honest with her feelings, she was given a new hope and a chance to be happy again, and that’s the beauty of the drama, Jojo was able to overcame her hurtful past with HyeYeong at her side and the two are adorable. The drama also offered a realistic approach to relationships and emphasize the importance of not validating your feelings through and app but through yourself, remember the drama repeated multiple times that Jojo chose HyeYeong by her OWN volition, so please stop the hate and enjoy the drama by watching the story through a new perspective. The story is beautiful and makes sense :)
