Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

...
J’ai voulu donner une chance à « Love Alarm », malgré avoir entendu que beaucoup avaient été déçus par ce drama. Le début avait attisé mon intérêt, et j’ai dévoré les tout premiers épisodes, jusqu’à un certain moment, où tout change, et pas pour le mieux, bien au contraire. J’ai essayé de garder espoir, mais le personnage principal a commencé à me tomber sur les nerfs grâce à certaines actions, et tout ce que j’aimais dans ce drama s’est effrité, filant entre mes doigts comme du sable… ou des cendres. Malgré mon espoir d’aimer ce drama, malgré le talent des acteurs, qui est la seule chose qui remonte mon pointage final, avec le doux souvenir de ces premiers épisodes, je dois admettre que je rejoins le clan de ceux qui furent déçus par «Love Alarm». 😔

Un peu d'amertume mais cela reste tout de même sucré !

Where to start? I asked myself this question for many hours before writing on this virtual paper. This questioning element sums up the situation perfectly. It's hard to know where to start because one thing is for sure Love Alarm is a drama that will not leave anyone indifferent. This is the first time I changed my mind so much during a drama and where I was also dubious by the actions of some characters.

I was pleasantly surprised by this season 2 that I found more mature and healthy. We see that some characters have grown up. I think in particular of Jo Jo's aunt who is much more pleasant than the previous season. Or about Sun Oh's mother who seems to want to get closer to her son. For Gul Mi, I didn't see any big changes unfortunately... She remains a very unpleasant character without consistency. But let's come to the essential, our main characters.

Jo Jo hasn't really changed, she's still an indecisive young woman who lets a new childish and superfluous technology dictate her feelings, that she forgets what she really wants. Although she guesses it herself as the season progresses and she is an actress of her own free will a little late. I also found her a bit of a prude, too prude for a 24 year old... She is a character who lived the unthinkable and even if I felt her more human and closer to us during this season, I will not say that she was a favorite.

Hyeyong is definitely the protagonist who revealed himself during this season. In Love Alarm 1, he seemed to be self-effacing and inactive, which is clearly not the case here. His character is very pleasant, he is sweet, listening, charming and caring. The ideal boyfriend in itself. I am therefore delighted that he had the right to his share of happiness during this season. The actor also played this character very well, I remember having seen him in Mistress where he had captivated me. But, these are just my personal tastes.

Sun Oh is the most disappointing character of this season. Yet, WE adore him before. But in the end, I wonder if I was blinded by the beauty of Song Kang. In this season 2, he is cold, distant, self-centered and egoistic. But after what Jo Jo did to him, it can only be understandable. Song Kang embodied this character perfectly and I can't wait to see him again in a show where he will have the leading role this time.

Yook Jo is the character I disliked even more than Gul Mi. She plays the girlfriend of Sun Oh. "Why?" you may ask. "She's a cream. "She may be nice, but she is still superficial. This world of "m'as-tu-vu" bothers me a lot and she is part of this kind of individual that I hate above all in this world that surrounds us. These influencers who only judge by their appearance and go to VIP clubs to show themselves off. We saw this very clearly in the first season, even if they wanted to sweep it in this second season, some passages have well brought out this aspect of her personality. She clings to Sun Ho with all her strength that it is pitiful. Moreover, I did not understand this choice. You can see that he doesn't like her. I don't understand how someone can force himself to stay with a person he doesn't like and to whom his eyes have never turned in 4 years. If it's not the right one, the one that will make you forget about Kim Jo Jo, it doesn't matter, there will be another one somewhere else. Don't force yourself with her. It would have been better to have him finish alone so that he could lick his wounds.

In conclusion, Love Alarm is a series to see once, especially for its magnificent OST and direction. Some scenes are striking, especially the fantastic moment when Jo Jo activates her spear. Or for this metaphor (that I saw there) with the arrival of spring and this notion of renewal. They certainly didn't choose this season for nothing. I don't think, on the other hand, and contrary to what I could read, that the scriptwriter wanted to show that a first love doesn't last a lifetime. Otherwise, Hyeyong would not have ended up with our heroine who is also his first love. Instead, he says that if you make the effort to love someone who loves you and treats you kind, you will end up loving them. A vision of love that I do not share at all! But also for the message he wants to pass on to the young generations. New technologies are not everything. See beyond, think for yourself. It will only do you good. Nevertheless, there is only one thing that bothered me a lot. Kim Jo Jo could never get rid of her shield. Thanks to Duk Goo, she was able to see a glimpse of her history and how many times her love alarm would have gone off if she didn't have that shield. Although she will never know, the viewer gets to find out. Nevertheless, we only know when it was triggered in Hyeyong's presence, but we still don't know if it was activated when she was with Sun Oh. Because for my part, I think she still loves both of them...
