Song Kang is my only reason to watch this drama.
I just posted a "review" of sorts under Season 2 so it only makes sense that I leave something here too. Not going to say much honestly. The story isn't my kind of thing and none of the characters are actually truly likable in my honest opinion. The only thing I feel for Jojo and Sunho is pity and nothing else. Hyeyeong... it's better I don't say anything about him.Since I watched this in 2024, I don't know what the hype around this show was when it first aired and I'll never know it. But having seen how season 1 is still more popular than season 2, even if I don't like this show I'm going to rewatch it. And because I like season 2 even less than season 1, I'm not going to contribute to it's viewership on Netflix. My only reason to rewatch season 1: 1) Song Kang 2) it's more popular than season 2
Lmao I'm too petty 😂😂

My first kdrama.
To be honest, this show was a bit boring and slow. It maintained an underwhelming feel to it the entire time and the plot seemed to lack a strong direction and progression. I actually found myself watching it in 1.5x speed at a certain point because I just wanted to complete the show for the sake of not leaving things unfinished. And even when I watched at that speed, I sometimes had to double check if it was still fast forwarding lol.The cinematography is quite satisfying. They maintain a dream-like color scheme and lighting that makes the sets and characters feel very classy and chic. It's obviously unrealistic, but it achieves a romantic and emotional atmosphere. The actors and actresses were also solid. I thought their performances were done well enough.

Waste of time
This k drama is one of the worst kdramas I've ever watched. This show has no proper storyline. Kim soo hyun cries a lot. She cheated on her boyfriend by kissing the ml and acted like a victim. Even, the ml's character is super boring😑.So, a short summary is that don't waste your time on this useless and brainless show

What a disappointment...
After the episode where they both had the motorcycle accident, I was confused...They cut off their relationship without explanation, which made me look for what the story would be like next and I was disappointed...
I won't continue watching this K-Drama and I won't set my eyes on Season 2.... #disappointment
I don't understand how they broke their relationship, the development of each character could have been so good and could have grabbed the fans...
They could have developed his character, who was kind of destroyed by his parents, based on the love he felt for her...
They could have developed her character based on the difficulties she overcomes with her family...
There was so much to pick up on in the story, it could have been perfect and full of drama and love!

Bruh
Honestly one of the worst kdramas I have ever laid my eyes upon. Quite frankly, I barely remember it because that’s how bad it is. The one time I trust the internet and this is what happens. If you missed out on this drama when it came out and are willing to watch it now well I hate to blow your bubble but don’t even think about it. I mean, ofc you can you don’t have to listen to me you can do whatever you want but I’m just tryna save the time that you’re going to waste and ur eyeballs. I remember finishing season 1 thinking that was it until season 2 came out not long after. If ur curious to know what happened in season two well don’t be cause I didn’t even watch it. If your curious to know what happened in season one well don’t be cause I forgot that shi already. At the end of the day you can do whatever you want but don’t say I didn’t warn u.Was this review helpful to you?
Fanfic Junk!
Oh dear! How could a full production team, crew and cast members be this damn oblivious to what they're making! The drama was the apotheosis of human failure, an insidious plague upon the landscape of television, a wretched abomination birthed from the depths of creative bankruptcy and soulless commercialism, a festering wound that infects the very essence of storytelling with its repulsive presence. Its premise was a nauseating blend of techno-narcissism and romantic idiocy, an affront to the intelligence of any sentient being unfortunate enough to bear witness to its abomination, a grotesque mutation of what once passed for entertainment. Characters were grotesque caricatures of humanity, mere vessels for the perpetuation of vapid romantic fantasies and insipid melodrama and their interactions were a cacophony of soulless platitudes and contrived emotional manipulation, each scene got progressively worse than the last. The writing was an insult to the very concept of coherent narrative structure, a labyrinth of a garbled mess and mind numbingly banal dialogue that defies comprehension. In fact, this drama wasn't just bad television, it was an abomination of the highest order, a blight upon the collective consciousness of humanity and the very fabric of reality itself that must be expunged from existence with extreme prejudice. Anyone who dares to defend this abhorrent monstrosity deserves nothing less than eternal damnation, condemned to spend eternity in the deepest, darkest depths of cinematic purgatory, tormented by the ceaseless repetition of its insipid drivel until the end of time itself. Anyway, it could've been worse, I guess.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring and Dissapointed
I am So very much dissapointed. And the story was excruciatingly Boring. I couldn't even force myself to finish the whole series of 2 seasons. And WHY two seasons?! It is too long and oh my word the plot holes! It would have been better if the series was just a handful of episodes that was well thought out. It is the first time in my life since starting to watch KDramas, that I didn't like ANY of the characters in a Series. The three main leads were stiff, uninteresting and emotionless for the most part. I just couldn't get invested or interested in their characters. The female main lead was painful and frustrating to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Don’t expect any kind of happy ending
Plot is already indicated so I’ll skip that.What I like is the portrayal of the actors. Can say that any one of them, even the support role artists did a great job with their role.
I like that the series touched (a tiny bit) about LGBTQ
I like the locations chosen to shoot this series.
The plot didn’t grab my interest.
The never ending hurdles that the female lead went through is about 75% of the series. My experience is that when viewers see too much problems and hurdles, it starts being boring instead of feeling empathy. Writers should have considered this. I fast forwarded most cuz I got tired of it.
The only thing supposedly that’s positive in her life is her boyfriend that then she ruined herself.
Another man could have been a good source of support for her and the story didn’t even give it a descent chance.
Personally, writers can be blamed for the negative reception for this series that could have had a good rating.
I watched this first season and the ending left me frustrated. There’s many things that were not even explained. There’s a season 2 that I haven’t seen that could possibly explain most of the things left unexplained in season 1.

I mourn what this could have been
Honestly this is just a story filled with constant despair and stupid teenagers being put into situations where they shouldn’t be, as much as I want to absolutely despise this series with all of my being there's something in me that I can't fully hate this. This had the potential to be something amazing and I will always mourn the fact that we lost what could have been one of the best dystopian world romances, It honestly started off like that but as it went on I guess they decided to just take the route of a boring romance that took the safe route. With the people killing themselves because no one around them rung their alarm could’ve made for the best route of the story, in the end the problem of the app wasn’t really solved for anyone else besides the main character since she decided to not listen to the app and follow what her head wanted instead of her heart. Which is understandable considering her background, which is one of the main reasons as to why I don’t completely hate Jojo. She comes from a very broken and traumatic background so it's no surprise that she would take that safe route, which I feel is something that a lot of people refuse to see about her and just want to hate her for leaving Sun oh. Speaking of him, in terms of the main storyline and disregarding Jojos trauma for a minute I feel bad for Sun Oh the most in the situation. Just for the fact that Jojo was the first person that he was able to open his heart up to and love fully, but his model or actor career I can’t even remember made him not be able to stick with her and caused her and him more pain in the end. I hope he truly did love Yookjo in the end and didn’t just choose her because he basically had too, which sucks for both parties involved at the end of the day. But hey, at least Hye yeong got the girl in the end am I right fellasWas this review helpful to you?
The idea could have been nice, but it was ruined in more and more ways
Before watching a drama, I usually do some research and try to figure out if I will enjoy the story or if it is worth my time. This is to say that the story (8 episodes in Love Alarm and 8 episodes in Love Alarm 2) wasn't that bad, however imaginative, but it was ruined by some script choices and above all by an ending that made little sense and was not very pleasant. The kind of ending that leaves you thinking "the they did it on purpose to show that they are different and don't do things like everyone else"Was this review helpful to you?

não é um dos melhores
esse final é ruim, vale a pena assistir só pra passar o tempo ou dizer que ja assistiu, não é um dos melhores doramas mas gosto da ideia do aplicativo de pessoas que gostam de você.a unica coisa que salva o dorama é o song kang que vamos concordar ele atua bem e é bonito né amores, pioooor na primeira cena do primeiro beijo deles FOI O BEIJO MAIS SEM GRAÇA DA VIDA e ele tem uma audacia horrível forçou a mana lá a beijar, unica cena que me da um tick, mas enfim eu não odeio mas tambem não amo.

first kdrama
love alarm was my very first kdrama and as a new kdrama watcher, it was entertaining. the storyline seemed interesting when i saw the trailer, so that's why i watched it. there are far better kdrama's out there though and most of the ep's are a bit boring to watch. to be honest: the characters were not really sparkling with personality, but somehow i kept watching. i think it was because i didn't know what i had to expect for a kdrama. my conclusion is that it was fine, but it's definitely a kdrama for beginners.Was this review helpful to you?
