Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

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.

Very boring.

There was not much history because it was over in the first season, nothing has changed. There wasn’t much plot or things to happen, besides that every episode the Sun Oh character was crying, which made you not even cheer for the main couple, which was kind of boring (in my opinion), but they were even cute at times (no hate). Waste of time. I finished at full speed by accelerating. Very disappointing.

I think they wanted to convey the idea that love can be built with time and choice, I don't know if that can be true. I didn't even understand why she chose not to like Sun Oh anymore. But, I think that this idea may not always work.

I Never Actually Hated a Drama Until This One

I am so pained right now!!!!! I can't believe I wasted my time to get that horrible ending. This drama was badly written and the character development was so poor.

Okay, I lied all the time I said I wanted the girl to end up with the second lead. No, it didn't work.

As a firm member of Team Sun-oh, I was stupidly waiting for Jojo and Sun-oh to resolve their misunderstanding and have a happy ending. It's the only reason I watched until the very end. Otherwise, it was too painful to watch a heartbroken Sun-oh struggle to handle his emotions and get hopeful when he thought he had a chance. Oh my gaaaaash, I ended up hating Jojo for doing that to him.

This drama was just the worst things about love triangles in full brightness with absolutely no comic relief.

Was it necessarily needed

Love alarm season 1 I did not really like but decided to give season 2 a try but still left the same opinion.

With love alarm I love that it has a deeper meaning and can be very sociological, physiological... But that was all. The ratings I thought was to high on the first season.

Season 2 brings alight the some what love triangle, I did not think JoJo look at both sides, it made me annoyed since I did not read the webtoons so I still did not know who she would end up with and it would of disappointed me if she went with Sunho. So I guess it did get me in thinking, but it was 6 episode for that to happen.

I did not really think all the story lines (plots) were necessarily needed.

A completely different drama

Firstly, I would like to do a very quick recap; As it's probably already known, the story is revolving around a love triangle between two best friends (Sun oh and Hye young) and their classmate, Kim Jo jo.

The first season started off well with a very interesting and different kind of concept, that showed a very quick development of its own story between the two mains (Sun oh and Jo jo), and later with Hye young trying to win over the heart of a hopelessness girl.

With the arrival of the second season though Love Alarm felt like a completely different drama where, most of the time, had an unclear and confusing aspect. Its turning point happened when the screenwriter swiftly put aside Sun oh’s leading role, along with his feelings towards Jo jo, which felt like a regrettable decision that not only ruined the concept of the story but also the viewer’s patience.

With every chance Sun oh is shown on screen, it feels like the viewer is battling with him to understand all those upsetting feelings that are coming forth and with him not receiving any proper answers to his questions, there is no development around his character which leads to the thing I mentioned earlier – putting aside his leading role – and making him look like a clingy person that “begged” to be loved back.

The ending of the story becomes clear by episode 4 as you are left there – in front of the screen – asking yourself “where did this come from”. By the time you realize that there is no turning back to the decision-making, the screenwriter decides to finish this off by showing us how unnecessary the love triangle and its story was, from the beginning.

As it is probably already known, stories that include love triangles never end up in a good way and this drama here proved that it is no exception. The most frustrating part though is how it manages to turn a diverse story into a weak one that makes the viewer regret to even spent those 6 hours of their time while hoping that it would have followed a similar pace to the 1st season without making these last-minute "changes".

Not Good Enough

The second season of the Korean Drama " Love Alarm " takes things from where the first season left off, years after the events that lead to the main couple splitting up. This season doesn't have the advantage of the school genre that always adds some innocence and freshness to the plot. It actually doesn't have a plot, as the story focuses on JoJo and her struggle to accept herself and her feelings. The whole drama about her art, her past life, and the shield was sloppily handled and the family drama was overlooked. The side characters were also boring.

One thing that this drama had going for it, at least, was the strong performances from the cast, especially from the leading lady. The twist with the romance was original too. However, the whole drama feels strange compared to the first season, like it's not its sequel. Rather, it's boring and rushed.


So, overall, 4 out of 10.

wtf jojo?

y'all this girl JoJo is the most selfish person on god. Sun Oh is another story for another day, but at least I can understand some things from his point of view. But Jojo? She makes so many choices that has left me confused and at times, violent.

I'm sure those who are watching S2 has already seen S1, so imagine this: You're finally in a relationship with the girl that you love. Things are going great, you both feel the same way. Then one day out of nowhere, she suddenly breaks up with you. No explanation whatsoever. Her feelings suddenly changes. Well that's Sun Oh's story.

All he deserved was a goddamn explanation that JoJo couldn't even provide. And even down to the very last moment, she was still selfish to the core and even used a spear to ring Hyeyoung's love alarm...wtf? Haven't you already went this route and learn that this is not the way to go? And she also didn't even have any plans to correct her ways until someone actually got in her face and told her she's being selfish. Sun Oh had to find out about the shield himself and Hyeyoung had to overhear it himself about the spear. Only until then did she take any actions.

And she only really did anything because she know she's about to lose Hyeyoung, and her last conversation with Sun Oh still left me feeling ill cause it's obvious she didn't give a single fuck about Sun Oh and only said what she said so she can go on her way and make up with Hyeyoung. After her "bye" she just yeeted. Like imagine waiting 4 years for that. And I also don't get it why she didn't just simply explain the shield situation to Hyeyoung. He would've understood her. This girl seems to have a knack for making shit 10x more complicated than it should be.

What I found amusing was her initial reaction to finding out Dukgu is dead. Instead of actually sympathizing, the first thing that pops up in her head is "I'm never going to be able to remove the shield." Like hello?!!! People are dying, Jojo!

Let's also not forget that she kissed Sun Oh when she was in a relationship and then kissed him again when she was in a different relationship. We love cheaters. So all in all, idk what Hyeyoung and Sun Oh ever saw in her.

Trash

Waited 2 years just to be disappointed!!!
I regretted waiting for the season and I also regretted recommending this dram to my friends!
Worst KDrama ending!!! Don't watch it guys, super waste of time.
Season 2 is badly written!!! Deserves to be trashed.

Kim Jojo and Hye young, doesnt have chemistry, I never liked it, watching their sweet moments feels like forced, I didn't even smile or even felt a tingling feeling of love. They look good together as friends, but a couple? nah!

Writers and director wasted everyone's time! They built up sun-ho and jojo in season one, they have a great chemistry only to ruin everything in season 2. Had I known this will be the ending, I wouldn't have watched it all together and save myself from pain and disappointment.

Love alarm is one of my top 5 kdrama so I'm really angry that season 2 is so bad, it's now the the bottom of my list!

Total Disappointment Love Alarm 2

After so long waiting for this drama season 2 disappointment. What a depressing drama nothing like the 1st season. There was more crying then there was lines in this drama. Three characters that when to high school together and now did not know how to talk with each other. JoJo and Hye young care for each other but they could not talk with each other. Secrets were kept and Jojo did not communicate at all. She did a lot of crying but no talking. Sunoh had so much anger but took no time to find out what happen and acted like he would not think his parents had nothing to do with it. Other then the 6th episode that you get a little happiness and understanding of what is going on the second season fail terribly. The total 2nd season maid me mad, frustrated, annoyed, and depressed. Not what I wanted to watch. the music also made you even more depress. Bad script.

A moment of silence for what it could.ve been

I.m just coming out of a kdrama break and I stumbled yesterday upon LA2. Oh my god, I said, finally. Oh my god, I said a day later, this is terrible.
If you.re reading this and you.ve watched kdramas for a couple of years now (personally I started 9 years ago) I would like to comment on 2 things that I absolutely hate about what we.ve been offered these years>
-Kdramas have become less focused on actual good plots and that focus has been put on details like fashion, hairstyle, makeup (that are usually way overboard- I mean, I like it, but too much dude)
-Actors are like plastic- they can't act anymore and they look like babydolls. Girls are way too perfect (to the last hair strand) and guys are just as perfect and what is worse is that (at least in my opinion) they are too feminized.

What does this have to do with love alarm?
1. Not one of them is actually playing a role. Everything is resumed to staring into blank spaces looking dramatic af. Let's add some tears in the eyes while looking like we blanked out at math class and this is what this drama is made of.
2. I can't help but compare> do you remember I miss you? Where Kim So Hyun played as the young character played my Yoon Eun Hye. Do you remember HOW INTENSE EVERTHING WAS? Do you remember the first 4 episodes where she appeared most often? Are you telling me that looking sad is all that she can do? GOD! I'm so angry about this. And that was 9 years ago! What happened?
3. The guys- (I mean she is also a part of this but let's look at the guys for now)- they have no personality. They have nothing special about them. The badass what-his-name-was is basically a hot stalker by season 2 and the other one- he's only worth of pity. I don't know why the writers were so cruel to the characters, they are so superficial, there's nothing profound about them (and adding a sprinkle of family drama really does not do the trick).
4. No, really, take a minute to look at their acting- all we get is close-ups of them staring and that's all
5. Must not forget the plot: But is there even one? :)

Don't get me wrong, I love a good old casual kdrama but this is too much. I'd rather watch some Love-evil parents-amnesia-I don't love you-Oh I love you- kinda crap. But in that era, the actors tried to SHOW THOSE GODDAMN EMOTIONS. Chaotic and stupid as they were, they were more complexe.
This aesthetic shit that they are trying to give us is really not appealing. Give me real acting and aesthetics if you want. I'm not accepting less, it's 2021 already.
