Love Alarm Season 2

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

First of all I for one loved the ending and the progression of the
plot. Although the story line was CHOPPY at times and we enevr got the full story behind what happened with Deok GU.

I freaked out when I found out that the concept of Love Alarm was inspired by Hyeoung and Jojo omgggg
So may of you are angry that Jojo ultimately picked Hyeoung LMAOO and are bashing him and calling him boring. When did being decent and kind be boring and bland? Yall must be teens.

There are many reasons why Hyeoung and Joho are the endgame:
1. Hyeoung was never forceful or aggressive to Jojo. Yes JJ was annoying at times, But you forget she had some deep childhood trauma which naturally makes her vulnerable, insecure, and scared. She needed someone there as a support system. Hyeoyoung was literally her boulder and stayed by her side selflessly without demanding anything in return.
2. 2. Hyeoung was extremely mindful and cared about Jojo’s feelings. He never only thought about only his feelings.
3. He never pressured her
4. He didn’t want to reveal his trauma to her because he didn’t want to burden her since she has her own trauma. He was so thoughtful.
Y'all call Hyeyoung a loser for suppressing his feelings at first and letting Sunho confess to her first. LISTEN. His father is a murderer. Bc of this he felt that he needed to be EXTRA CAREFUL and paint this always nice image of himself so that people don't assume that he's only a murderer's child. HE wanted to amicable bc he felt that's what he deserved and that he needed to prove how good he was. so people don't make that association. He felt the need to overcompensate always.

And y'all calling him weak? UM he literally denied his lying, murderer, father parole. THAT TAKES A LOT OF STRENGTH AND COURAGE TO LET GO OF SOMEONE LIKE THAT SO STFU. Especially your father.

Jojo did Sunho dirty by not properly explaining herself to him. BUT let’s not act like Sunho is the total victim in this love triangle. He literally kissed JJ twice despite knowing she had a boyfriend. The second time he kissed her despite knowing his best friend was dating her. Why y’all romanticizing his homewrecker behavior? Is it bc he’s hot? JJ even revealed how when he kissed her, all she thought of was Hyeyoung at that time yikes.

Second, goddamn he’s aggressive and reckless. I understand he felt hurt but storming in her class like that and making such a scene was so disrespectful and childish tf? How does this scene NOT make him look selfish. Hyeyoung literally called him out for his selfish ass and that was SO satisfying. He basically told Sunoh yeah you lover her hard man but wtf you know she has anxiety and you put her in such a tough spot. YOU SEE???!! Hyeyoung ALWAYS considering JJ’s feelings first.

I think the reason why most people are mad is bc most of the viewers are highschoolers or teens. Sunoh and JJ’s chemistry is great no doubt but that attraction and love at first sigh didn’t sustain them. They grew up and had their own demons.

Hyeyoung and Jojo’s lovestory was dynamic it built up. It was HEALTHY. NON TOXIC.
FYI for everyone saying JJ didn’t love Hyeyoung. UHHHH embarrassing. Have you seen the ending???? How many times her love alarm COULD have rang when she was with Hyeyoung.

Yall make nice, attentive men look so boring. I wonder what would of happened if the casting switched. Hyeyoung is SOOOOOO ATTRACTIVE. Sunoh is gorgeous as well. But they each have their own charms. Trust me when you grow up and pass the highschool phase, a man like Hyeyoung will be a dream. Please watch this with an open mind and understand Jojo’s story and choices. Don’t senselessly give the drama bad review just bc she chose the nice guy for once.

TBH my other fave character was Yook JO. SHE WAS SO SWEET OMG I LOVE HER. SunOh can't let her go either damn. IDK maybe if there is a season 3 , we may see their relationship progress and buildbeautifully :') Overall IM SO HAPPY THAT MY OTP FINALLY MADE IT.

Watch Netflix The One instead

Watch superior The One instead. Similar concept but void of typical drama limitations.

Netflix was pushing Love Alarm on me so I watched S1 before the S2 drop and got bored. FL is annoying, classic drama Mary Sue - overachieving orphan/poor girl that the hottest, richest guy in school inexplicably falls in love with even though she's supremely obnoxious and totally average (the actress lack of chin is distracting). I don't know why this girl is such a big star (I see she's in that River show that had a recast scandal recently).

ML is a classic drama Gary Stu - rich, unhappy with mommy/daddy issues, super hot so everyone falls in love with him (cue ridiculous scenes of girls swooning). But at least Song Kang earns his star status unlike FL. See I bothered to learn his name, I didn't bother with hers.

Love triangle is a drag and one can see from miles away how the story would end (read: not how it should which is ML and 2d ML getting together since their bromance is the only thing that really works).

Underwhelming, predictable, forgettable and dull.

Confusing & Weird Happiness ~,~

I loved this season too but at the last 2 episode I was crying a river. ~,~
The main thing is I was crying a lot and ofc I was afraid about the ending..because I had reasons why I was crying like a baby with confused feelings..
⚠️No.1: I was upset a bit about Joo never considered Sunoh feelings, but at the same I was happy because everyone at the end was happy and they opened a new chapter in their life..
⚠️No2: I was full of hope about Sunoh and JoJo love story, but they just say goodbye to each other..
⚠️No3: I was happy to JoJo and Hye Young love story.
⚠️No4: I dreamed of Gulmi and Dokgu's love story, but they didn't come together. ㅜ.ㅜ
and more.. By the way the happy ending was totally happy ending I mean everyone was ending their old stories and everyone opened a new chapter in their life. So yeah it was kinda a good happy ending for everyone.
So yeah I loved the ending scene. It was such a beautiful thing. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧
Also all of the music was amazing like always and it makes the series more emotional, so yeaaaaah I din't regret to start the Love Alarm Season 2. (∪ ◡ ∪)

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.

Everyone's Wrong

Listen, I don't care what ya'll say. This drama was beautiful. When I watch a drama, most of the time the main comments are all talking about the second lead and how he's perfect, for example True Beauty. Most of the comments on that show were talking about how Han Seojun deserved better. Well, all my second lead fans, this is a drama where the second lead literally got the girl in the end. I'm gonna be honest. The shows that always get the highest ratings are never my favorite. It's the shows like these that always get my attention in the end, thoughtful and patient shows that paint a natural and realistic image of love like this show. Lee He Yeong is compassionate and supportive to the end. He never forces his feelings on her like Sun Oh. Sun Oh throughout the series is nothing, but a big jerk. Within the first episode of the first season, he goes after the girl his best friend likes, he gives up Jojo to the boyfriend she was clearly hiding from and uncomfortable with (He Yeong would never do that), and kisses her without getting her consent when she clearly doesn't want to. In season 2, this show reveals its true colors and it made me love it so more. It showed that having a healthy basis for companionship can be a great place to start a love story, that giving each other time and space is more important than rushing in and feeling overwhelmed by emotions all at once. They never fight, they're not toxic and also, why does Jojo have to think about a guy she broke up with's feelings. She clearly doesn't want to be in a relationship with him and Sun Oh keeps pressuring her. That is some creepy ass behavior. Still, He Yeong is still they're despite everything supporting her and allowing her to be comfortable with him. The acting feels pretty natural as well and Kim So Hyun plays a pretty good damaged girl. I truly do hate the guy who plays Sun Oh now which just shows how good his acting is as well. The music is good as well and deserves some praise. It hits a nice balance between emotive and popular. All in all, I would and am rewatching this drama again.

This season saved the series for me, the acting, directing, and all-around felt good although it was a touch rushed. You'll see fangirls mostly crying about the epilogue of the love story and throw some random 'critics' but it sincerely felt right to me, the last kdrama I watched was nevertheless and it's the same actor surprisingly. Such a good actor, he actually made me dislike him in both shows, lmao. Hopefully, the other show I mentioned will have another season and take the exact same route. The ending was just as it should be and I'm happy about that. Its so easing when good relatable guys get the win, it kind of gives you hope. Good watch.

A Hit or a Miss!

First of all, I would like to mention that the story of the second season would either be a hit or a miss for most people.

I usually avoid writing reviews as there are many already for this drama but since I really liked the story of this second season and there were mostly negative reviews I felt strongly to write it.

The second Season of Love Alarm portrays a highly sophisticated and mature theme, unlike the first season. As already mentioned in many reviews this could be a result of a change of directors but since I watched both seasons in one setting I did not feel that was the case and felt it natural as part of the time gap of the drama and that the characters are now older and mature.

The most realistic and nostalgic drama that I ever watched

I understand that most of the views may be form teenagers, so I understand most of the frustration. But I mean it when I say that this drama is beautifully and sincerely made. The ending is so so real. And I thank to all the production for giving us this drama, as it is.

The story is strong and for some people it may be boring, but life is as boring as it is. We don't always know what to do or what to think about our feelings or others. Life is about choices and situations. And so it was for Jojo.

I'm really happy to watched this drama and I hope everybody can understand this story beyond the pretty faces.

Love,
Mariana.

The drama isn't about who Jojo end up with, but how the choice is hers and not based unseen force

I've never written a review of a drama before, but after skimming some of the comments and other reviews I decided to just go for it.

While I understand how the second season may come as a disappointment or be confusing for some people, I have to say that I actually really liked it. I was looking forward to watching it for more than a year, but when it dropped I was swarmed in work and projects, so I ended up binging it yesterday. In the lights of that, I must say how difficult it was processing everything.

While I certainly didn't expect such ending or development, I must say that it makes perfect sense to me. The love triangle usually is such a boring, overused trope, but what I loved here was how Jojo had to work through her feelings first and not only her but Sun-oh, too. They proved something I rarely see in Asian dramas - that just love is not always enough. Hye Young is maybe the most consistent character - going through so much just to be with Jojo. What I did found unrealistic though was how easily and fast was held the conversation between Jojo and Sun Oh.

In my opinion the drama wasn't so much about who Jojo would end up with, but how the choice is purely ours and based on respect and consistency not on some unseen force (be it even a love alarm).

One of the most admirable things about the drama is the character development (while remaining some consistency of character) of Gul Mi (Jojo's cousin) and Jung Mi Mi (Sun's mother). In that aspect I definitely wish there was more plot and story. Really wish there was more to the story line of Duk Goo.
