"I'll hurt everyone around me so I won't be the only one who is hurting."
IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH THIS, JUST DON'T HURT YOUR FEELINGS, PASS THIS.WHY? That is going to be my only question for the writers of this season. I don't have the words to say how much of a disappointment this season was. Even though JoJo and SunOh didn't end up together, I am VERY disappointed how this ended.
So basically, she hurt everyone around her, because she was hurting and didn't know how to cope with her pain.
She played with their feelings,went back and forth between the guys just so she can hurt them,while she is hurting herself.
I just don't get it. Work on yourself first and when you are ready emotionally and mentally then try to find your other half.
The way they made me cry for SunOh at the end was too much. He will stay unhappy for some time but I really hope that he can move on and be happy and be with someone who deserves his love, warmth and respect. JoJo lost him trying to protect her own feelings. Never cared for his feelings and I just don't get it.
She will be happy but I know in the back of her mind there always be SunOh, because she knows what she has done to him.
This was a disappointment. Waiting two years for what? FOR WHAT?
Pass this. It's not worth it your time, tears and emotions.

Disappointed - wish I didn't watch it
So much disappointment in this drama. I've been looking for season 2 for so long, but I wish I didn't watch it. Just a waste of time.Well season 1 was wayy better. When she was with Sun Oh they were so happy, and their chemistry was so sweet and good. But when she was with Hye Young ,all their parts was always dark. Like she's trying to force herself to love him just bcuz he's good with her. Without the shield she will still be with Sun Oh. Let's be honest. If she truly loved Hye Young, she would've never let Sun Oh kissed her.

Was waiting for 2 years worth it?
The answer is no. I am disappointed. VERY!Ok, so I rarely write a review but I am fuming.
I was highly anticipating this drama. But no because it was simply messy and confusing. I don't even understand some scenes just because there was no context. I CAN SAY: SEASON 1 WAS BETTER. They really had to follow the webtoon. eh.
Why the ending got to be like that!? IT CRUSHED ME!! Like SUNHO DESERVED BETTER!!! I REALLY DIDN'T WANT KIM JOJO AND HYE YOUNG! Personally, I didn't see the romance between them. They just seemed like they pretended to be happy, they weren't honest and it was not it. Bruh.
The fact that Sun Ho liked her for all those years and kept on chasing her but all she did was turn him down just because 'she didn't like him' and saying that she likes Hye young. Why does she hide her feeling like that? grrr. THAT STUPID SHIELD! I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE CHOSE HYE YOUNG FOR HER SPEAR.
I AM JUST CRYING RN :'( My heart is broken.
Overall, the plot had no flow, it was kinda boring, short, not well developed, and very disappointing.

Super Disappointed
Waited almost two years for the sequel and now that I have seen it, definitely not worth the wait! I had to force myself to keep watching because i was kind of hoping there will be some redeeming factor to it. I honestly think that Jojo made the safe choice with Hye young which is sad because there's really no character progress there. I feel so bad for Sun oh. I guess he's better off without Jojo he deserves so much better. Second season is Meh... will not recommend it. If you haven't seen it and you're rooting for Sun-oh then just stick with Season 1.Was this review helpful to you?

is this season even in anyway connected to s1?
speechless at just how bad S2 was. The story did absolutely NOTHING to convince me jojo was in love with hye yeong. Are we supposed to just forget everything that happened in S1 with sunoh ?? On top of that it was totally boring. They could have leaned more into the crime storylines or the slight dystopian future element of love alarm, instead it was 6 episodes of jojo saying no words and people staring at each other. . I am so so disappointed because s1 was one of my fave dramas. what a load of tosh. Even if it ended with jojo and sun oh together,I would still have to stay it was boring.Was this review helpful to you?
Messy but pretty to look at
Aesthetically this was different from the first season for sure, but it was still pretty to look at despite the different style, and the sketches were reminiscent of It's Okay to Not Be Okay.The story was a real mess though, in terms of romance, the traumatic backstory, and the social commentary. It just felt like there was zero continuity with the first season. They completely dropped the ball on Jojo's backstory when it was such a big part of her trauma and decision-making.
Big questions around Love Alarm were about the role of technology in modern romance, privacy, the pressure of being perfect on social media, imposter syndrome, etc. and I had been really excited for it to delve deeper into a society so reliant on it, but they never really did. A lot of characters and plots weren't explained well and everything just felt all over the place.
Instead, the drama focused so much on a love triangle that wasn't really there to begin with, starting this season. The characters had little to no character development and were kind of brushed to the side, with a sprinkle of backstory here or there.

An Unwanted Sequel
233rd Review of Love Alarm 2 tells a lot about how this show has impacted many, mostly disappointment. Lot has been said already; here are my two thoughts.One, What could have be completed in just two more episodes of season 1 had been dragged out for about 2 years (Even my tastes of kdrama has changed.) and 6 episode (really?) . That's what many kdramas do, adding a time jump and voila, a decent closure. But no, Love alarm, the very un-kdrama-ish kdrama, somehow tries something new: season format. And the result is obvious.
Two, if it weren't for Cheon Duk Goo, I would have totally abandoned this. CDG's closure was a mediocre but it was probably the only decent thing season 2 could offer. As for others, even 5 years time jump doesn't seem to mature these characters. They are still stuck in their sorrows of their own making. But somehow a couple of events make them grow up. Nah, I couldn't buy that.

My cuppa tea
I love it when Kdrama gets rational (aside from the super-advanced technology) and not just emotional. Guess there's a reason why they have it in 2 seasons - to which I like both. Didn't expect to see that much character developments in such short episodes so I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably the ending that I want and the ending that actually makes sense - though some might actually dislike this. I just finished all 6 episodes in one sitting and I'm about to sacrifice sleep and rewatch it to pick up on the details I'm missing.Was this review helpful to you?
"It was not that I didn't love you, you were just to heavy"
I've never been this happy with a sequel or a series-ending in my entire k-drama life, it was perfect and they finished all of the stories beautifully! 10/10They perfectly satesfied every stories ending, Kim Jojo's past, all of the final relationships (even the losing loveintrest's one). I can not immagine a better ending or a better conclustion to this story! Cried multiple times!
I love how she faces her past alone, without the need of a man guiding her, but that she can still have support when she herself got to get over and face her past.
I finished the entire series on the day which it was released, and do not regret a thing, might rewatch asap.

Messy but enjoyable.
In all honesty, the first season was definitely much better than this season. Season 2 was annoyingly full of wallowing, and miscommunication. Everything would've been sorted IF THEY JUST TALKED. Nothing was being said, Jojo was still indecisive and confused, and couldn't get a word out without being interrupted. smh nothing has really changed for her since the first season.I don't really get what warrants this drama to receive its excessively low ratings - perhaps people didn't like the fact that Son-Oh didn't get the girl? I'm glad he didn't. I read a lot of reviews before writing mine, and seems like i'm in the minority in liking who she ended up with. It was REALLY evident who she loved from the very beginning. We can see how JJ looked at Hye young, the way she missed him and the way she always thought of him whenever anything happened etc- THE SIGNS WERE ALL THERE. Seeing Jojo come to realisation with this was quite satisfying and godamn was I really happy. HY is a total angel from beginning till end.
Ok now Sun Oh, I can't be the only one that found him slightly annoying right? People saying Jojo played with his feelings and strung him along. No, not really imo, she broke up with him 4 years ago. He latched onto this girl for 4 years, demanding an explanation at every chance he would get, whilst stringing ANOTHER girl along. like COME ONNN. I admit he deserved an explanation, (again, lack of communication) but being pushy and rude for 4 years, just coz you're bitter you didn't get jojo?? Poor boy was crying and wallowing for jojo for 4 years straight until the last 10 mins where he's suddenly ok - lol the writers did him dirty.
i know many people really wanted SO to end up with JJ, but i don't think that should be the reason why this season is so disliked. I admit, it was slow at times and really annoying but the maturity in this season was refreshing and realistic. All characters had their flaws- but that's life. You won't always be sure of what you want, feelings change, you get confused and sometimes you need reassurance- AND THAT'S OK. you live and you learn. You learn to trust yourself.
ps. what's actually messy is this review lol
pps. i'm glad the love alarm app doesn't exist in real life.
