Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

An actually decent watch

I've binge watched the show from season 1 to season 2 in one go and for me it was clear from the beginning who she would end up with. She felt physically attracted by one (kinda problematic) guy, but on the long run started a family with someone more similar and stable. It's actually realistic. When she disappeared from the potentials I knew it was because she is 100% in love from that point, because she let go of her past and was sure now.
I wish they showed the creator more. Maybe they could make a spin-off with the new app for lie detection.
Overall it wasn't as terrible as I've expected because of the ratings. It's nice to see a k-drama where the protagonist changes her love interests over the course of time, instead of the "virgin that marries the first love" cliché. I also like shows that think over the impact of the technology on our lives and it's evolution in history.

IN LOVE WITH BOTH MALE LEADS

So after season 1 I didnt know what I should expect, but i was for sure waiting for season 2. I still dont know who is the second lead in this story, but I think for once in Kdramas we dont have the same kind of love triangle, because i was never sure who she will end up with. I would be happy no matter who she had chose because i think both of them were great characters after all. All the main character annoyed me at times but i think all of them were written like that so we could watch them develop themselves as the show was going.
I did get kinda bored after 6 episodes but no so bored that i wouldnt finish it. I think i was more sad that i would have to say goodbye because Love Alarm was the first Kdrama i ever watched.
It is an okay Kdrama and quite different from the other of its kind.

Utter disappointment

I was screaming to JoJo not to choose hyeyeoung..Jojo is such a bad character she cares for no one..
frst she dumped one boy at highschool for sunoh
then she dumped sunoh for hyeyeoung &
I'm sure she'll be dumping hyeyeoung in future for someone better... I feel so frustrated about her character.. she is such a pathetic and weak character.... Can't even figure out why she dumped sunoh 👎 she said she loved him the most and at the end married another man🤦 i hate her character... Really disappointed... I advice not to watch this drama at all coz if you watch 1st season then you'll have a tendancy to watch 2nd which sure will make you regret..!

A very good drama

Love Alarm in general is very original and a great story. The actors do a wonderful job, and the writing is very well done. There are twists and turns and nothing is too obvious.

Love Alarm Season 2 is not a stand-alone drama. You must have season one fresh in your memory for it to make any sense. You need to remember the little things. I see it as the rest of season one, not a 2nd season.

I believe the low ratings are due to people not knowing or clearly remembering the story. I watched the first season one and a half years ago. I just watched Season 2 Ep 1 and was so lost. After rewatching all eight episodes of season one, it changed everything! Season 2 Ep. 1 seemed like I hadn't watched that episode yet - it made complete sense. The repeat viewing was worth the time.

Another possible reason for low ratings is that the two male leads were competing for the female lead until the very end. 50% of viewers were probably soooo upset that their favorite man didn't win, that they weren't able to forgive the writers. They soothed their wounded hearts by giving low ratings.

...
Where should I begin? Well this season was a mess not only this season but also the first one. To many questions weren’t answered in season two e.g why Jojo left Sun Oh?
I think the bad thing about this drama isn’t that she ended up with Hye Young but the way she ended up with him. It just doesn’t make really sense. Yook Jo was such a good girlfriend even though the ending seemed kinda forced. Overall the episodes were a little bit boring and the crime scenes could have made so much sense but they just put it in and then forget about them and made a creepy stalker like ?!? I really liked the color scheme of the drama.

But can we talk about Brian Cheon aka Ki Do Hoon he is soo handsome 🤭

OST were okay nothing special
I really liked the CGI it was really good
Actingwise it was really good but unfortunately not the story

Was it worth to wait 1.5 years for the 2nd season? No. Would I rewatch it probably not.

Sorry for mistakes^^

I really had my hopes high for this one...

Love Alarm season really got me hyped up and after waiting for almost 2 years I really was expecting a bit more... I'm not sure if it was because I have set my expectations too high or what but I expected a bit more.

First thing first, at the end of S1 we saw the FL running towards the SH and the HK saw them then it ended at that. We didn't even know what happened next? Like hello writers, if you left us with a cliff hanger like that for 2 years I think we do deserve a some kind of closure???

Also, I never really understood why the FL had this urge to always lie. I know she was traumatized by her experience before but it really wasn't explained well why she thinks that people around her would always suffer? From what I saw, she was really being selfish. Her actions towards both the ML and SML were not really justified even at the end. It was really messy.

LASTLY HOW THE HELL DID CDG SURVIVE THAT FREAKING FALL??????? IF YOU LOOK BACK DURING S1, IT LOOKED LIKE HE FELL FROM THE 20TH-30TH FLOOR OF A BUILDING???? HOW THE HECK ARE YOU STILL ALIVE???? AND WHY DID HIS BROTHER ACT LIKE THAT???? I mean I know they had different views on things but was that really that important that you had to turn your back from your brother????

I wish the characters had more depth in them. There were only 3 characters overall whom I saw grew and developed over the epsidoes. Suho, Gul Mi's mom, and Suho's mom. Aside from that, after you know years they all pretty much stayed the same way they did during their highschool years.

Oh well... I guess time to move on to a different drama.

Love Alarm's Long Awaited Sequel

I'm sorry but I honestly don't understand why people love Sun Oh so much. He's such an entitled prick. Jojo doesn't want to become close with him again, she constantly says no or walks away but does Sun Oh listen? NOPE. He constantly yells stuff at her YOU STILL LOVE ME, YOU LOVE ME. That's honestly not attractive at all and kind of a huge red flag. I know how Jojo suddenly dumped you and broke your heart wasn't fair and a really shitty too but that doesn't give him any right to behave like this.

Also, how dare he ask hye yeong how it comes that they aren't close anymore. I'm like bitch you started this by deliberately going after YOUR best friend's crush simply because you wanted to. And the way Sun Oh treats his current girlfriend is simply just horrible. Juk-Yo deserved so much more than she got. I did like him when he was in a relationship with Jojo & he treated her pretty right back then, but I'm honestly so happy that I was team hye yeong since season one.

Also, the stylist of jojo's character truly made her wear hideous things inb the first 2 episodes. The white on white outfits with a colourful jacket weren't the best choices. I truly want to throw away those damn awful white pants.

Song Kang is a great actor BUT OH MY FREAKING GOD I CANNOT STAND LITTLE WHINEYASS SUN OH. He's so freaking annoying, so fucking annoying. The worst person is still jojo's aunt undoubtedly.

CDG... *insert face palm* Did the writers really think we were that stupid? It obviously stands for Cheon Duk-Gu.

I truly wanted Sun Oh to die at one point because he bothered me that much. At one point he even stalked her when she kept walking away from him he still followed her, I'm like bit problematic much eh? And then the stalking didn't even end there.

I also don't understand why people say Jojo is indecisive when she literally always walked away from Sun Oh and never even thought about breaking up with Hye yeong. Honestly Hye yeong is such a precious baby and someone that I would actually love to date.

I gotta say I love Hye yeong and Jojo as a couple a lot more than Sun Oh × Jojo. Maybe I'm a little biased because of my utter dislike towards Song Kang's character or it's simply because Hye yeong is the best boyfriend ever and the better person. We'll probably never find an answer to that, we only know that I'm just 100% one soft bitch for Hye Hyeong.

I don't hate season 2 like some other people do but I do think it's not as good as the first season. I'm also baffled how they were able to make such an interesting concept (like the murders, the murders corresponding with jojo's comic, the anti-love alarm squad, that fake CEO, Duk-Gu faking his own death) into this quite boring 6 episode long final season. I blame it on the fact that the original writers of this show weren't involved with s2 & that 4 new people were hired instead. But it honestly wasn't that bad either.

I'm forever not getting the love that Sun Oh to this day receives; I truly wouldn't want a man like that as my significant other. HYE YEONG FOREVER. I love how my baby suddenly became the first lead instead of the second lead & how Sun oh went from first to second in this series.

Duk Gu was always so precious and cute but omg a new haircut and better clothes truly made him hot.

I kind of like jojo's niece too now. Yeah she's still spoiled but honestly she became kind of really charming.

I love how Jojo matured and became a better person. I liked how there were actually consequences of her hiding the truth constantly. She truly developed into a better person just as her niece did too. We love dem character development.

Okay, I got super emotional when adult and kid jojo met each other. Like damn that symbolism of how she didn't blame herself for her past trauma anymore & how she was able to give it a place. Beautiful.

Hye yeong exciting for her at the finishing line made me fucking emotional.

I don't know if I fully believe in the Yuk jo × sung oh pairing, but I'm really happy that my girl at least got some feelings reciprocated.

I'm happy with the ending & I thought the cinematography of this second season was fabulous but it ultimately didn't live up to what season 1 set up. I still did not think it was as bad as other people say it is. The transition between seasons were a bit chaotic though.

A wonderful drama with wonderful actors and a wonderful end.

Okay, so let me start by saying that I'm extremely happy with the ending. Not because I preferred HH but because everyone in the drama got the ending they deserved. Everyone ended their story in this drama in a peaceful way.

And now let's talk about HH and Sun-oh. Let me start with clearing that I am on HH side but absolutely not against sun-oh. As we all know HH had a crush on JoJo first and sun-oh knew about it, even tho HH declined it, sun-oh knew that HH was lying. And as we all saw in the first season HH really liked Kim JoJo but had to see his best friend with her every single day without saying anything about it. This literally broke my heart because he is such a calm and nice guy. Now don't get me wrong, I was happy for sun-oh too since he and Jojo seemed happy together.

Now this season started with JoJo and HH being a couple even though she couldn't ring his love alarm when he did. And he never said anything about it since he loved her so much and didn't want to make her uncomfortable. And I could see that she was happy with him and that their relationship was healthy and peaceful.

What made me not feel bad about sun-oh when Jojo "broke-up" with him or kind of cleared up things for him, is that he got mad about the fact that JoJo didn't ring his love alarm and that she wasn't being "honest". And what made me mad about this is that he couldn't accept that she didn't like him and kept yelling at her and saying "you like me!". Yes, I understand that he was confused about the whole story with the shield but still, that was quite weird to me.

To be honest, in the beginning, I thought that the best ending would be if they all split and lived their own lives without each other. But when I started watching this season I could see how lonely and sad HH was, but how happy he was with Jojo and how hard he tried to not ruin their relationship. (Gurl I was CRYING rivers when he went out of prison and Jojo went to hug him and he started crying TT TT )

This review is quite messy, sorry TT. But to kind of summon all this review, I loved this season. I cried, laughed, and got mad while watching these wonderful 6 episodes. And to be honest I will probably end up rewatching this drama like 10 times. ^^

Everybody loves Sunoh...

... I can tell and I guess the ratings will be lower because of the ending.
I trully like Song Kang, who started at the drama "The liar ans his lover" and his acting was already relevant.
I guess people will be frustrated to see how Jojo runs towards HY everytime but let's be fair, the ending was really fine:
- Love is not just a simple feeling or crush, you have to act and choose, that's what Jojo did.
- Everyone grows: JJ by being honest, HY by being more determinate, SN by being more caring, JJ's cousin by being more serious.
- But they can not change that far.... JJ's cousin is still superficial, SN's mother though more caring, stays distant. There is not a great happy ending with reconciliation and hugs, it's more realistic and I like it that way.
- I like the fact that she returns to Jeju island ALONE to overcome her past. She has to accept herself above all. She is the most hurt in this story.
The three lead actors are great, but Song Kang I think, it's the most striking one. I can understand people's frustrations but really, season 2 is nice final.
The flaws in this show:
- Visual effects not really convincing comparing to season 1
- Lacks of explanations, for example, in the webtoon, JJ wrote a letter to HY and explains why she chooses him ( a very beautiful and romantic message), this element is lacking.
- Too much crying and whispers... gosh, all the casting were great, you can give more light moments, they are young!
But really, the whole drama is beautiful so don't be to harsh because you prefers Song Kang.

Worst storyline and character development ever!!!

Where to begin!!! I got past season 1 of this horrid series. This series should have never come on air for any reason whatsoever. This is the first time i have hated an entire cast of a series. Let's begin with the Kim Jojo our FL, a victim with a victim mentality that the writers never thought to grow her character, very flat no development whatsoever,no direction. Every thing about her character irks me nothing intrigues. Then there is Hye young, i mean i knew from the end of the first season that they would make him and JoJo the endgame but the progression to that was just flat. It was as if they just forced to individuals with prior basis together. Their pairing is the worst i have seen in years in drama industry!!! To be very honest i would have preferred her ending up with Sun-oh, together this pairing had more life to them and had the potential of being a stellar couple( forget his jerkish behaviours for a minute) yes i was actually rooting for him. He made moves even if they were borne from childish tendencies and a balance of pain and the need to escape his lack of loving home and where he found happiness. The writers trying to give him a so-called happy ending with yujoo was just downright horrible!!!
I mean come on!!!! This pair is so useless. They just ruined the entire script. I kept trying to get to the end of this horrid eyesore but i just couldn't, i had to stop just before the last episode because i saw no reason to continue watching this disaster!!
Do i recommend this horrid drama to anyone hell no!!! The only reason i even rated it a 5.0 is because of some of the supporting characters like sun oh's mom, gul-mi ( a character that actually developed) and sun-oh's portrayal of a rich broken boy who just wanted to fins happiness.

personally i know who's jojo gonna endup with before watching season 2 but still i'm heart broken. I like the ending even though jojo did not end up with the guy that i preferred.

Now let's talk about JOJO. Tbh, i dont like her since season 1 because hello, even though you have past, trauma etc you have no right to hurt or PLAY with someone feelings like that. It was selfish of her to do that, she hurts two people because of her selfishness :((

The ending of this season, did justice to sunoh. He deserves the world and he is too good for jojo. I like that they ended the relationship peacefully and she finally give him the answer that he's been looking for. Shout out to Hyukjo and Hyeyoung for being the selfless character especially Hyukjo! Now I know, that if we like someone we can wait for him or her for a vvv long time without wanting something in return. Just being with them is enough even tho it hurts.

The cinematography and production of this drama is *chef kisses*. I love it so much, satisfying to watch. The acting is just 100/10!

This is a different kdrama

I love this kdrama because was different , we can see different kind of loves , the young Love and how is passionate and selfish without looking who is who ,and the adults Love when you find a person who is the right for you and you have the same values, dreams and struggles. If some one dont likes how end up things in this drama just remember how selfish was Sun Oh, in first episode , when he knew before ever met her that his best friend love her, was a game for him in the begging to challenge him. Sun Oh was selfish and not a good friend, he have to pass a few stages in life to grow up and be more grounded. In the other hand Lee Hye when he finds out about Sun Oh and her he step back and has the patience to love her and be in his friend side, when the time comes Sun Oh doesn't do the same for him. My english is bad i hope to understand what i mean 😉
