Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

I was broken hearted also at the way Jo Jo was so uncaring of the torment she put Sun oh through and still can’t understand why she chose the one she did other than she said he was warm and kind. Sun oh always loved and cared for her too and they seemed to have great chemistry! I guess the emotional drama created by others because of Sun oh’s status was too much for Jo Jo to deal with. I had hoped they could find their way back to each other, but Jo Jo didn’t even try and just kept running away from Sun oh. Furthermore, Sun oh was never given a clear reason her feelings changed for him, making it so hard for him to understand and have closure. It was a very disappointing ending to me.

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.

I Don't Know What I Was Expecting ... But ...

I honestly don't know what I was expecting in this second season. I didn't like the first one and the only reason why I got through this one is because I was in the middle of crocheting and didn't want to get up to rummage through my "Plan to Watch" list.

What is the story? I understand the title, but I don't understand the story. I was really hoping for more development and some closure leading into this second season and I still got absolutely nothing. The characters are dull, boring, and completely unrelatable. There is so much nothing, I wasn't at all surprised, let down, or even baffled by the end. It was just ... oh, ok? ... that's it ...

The acting was exactly the same as Season 1? Did they continuously film this or was there an actual gap? The acting is dry and forced. It's almost like they didn't even enjoy the character they are portraying.

The music is lackluster. Nothing memorable that makes me want to hesitate skipping to the next episode because I want to continue singing the theme.

There is no rewatch value ... literally none ...

Overall, I do still want to check out the webtoon to find out if there is some semblance of a plot. The drama does nothing in any way shape or form. I think this was the first drama that I was not cheering for a single character. I sighed a breath of pained relief when the final credits rolled.

WTF Jojo!!!

Ok so first of all, I really like the first Love Alarm. I thought that aside from the fact that the actors and the OST were incredible, the story was something else too. However, that impression was destroyed with Love Alarm 2... To begin with, I think Jojo was really selfish and never for once considered the feelings of Hye Young, Yook Jo and more importantly of Sun Oh. She never even thought how they felt and the only thing she cared about was her self. She was with Hye Young , but she never loved him truly. And that only hurt him. Also Yook Jo didn't deserve all that pain, just because Jojo couldn't decide who she loved.

BUT! The thing that I hated the most about Love Alarm 2 was the ending that Sun Oh faced. Sun Oh loved Jojo more than anyone, and even though he was never happy because of his family, he continued waiting for her. Because honestly, these two were really in love. And what did Jojo do? She tried to prove to herself that she loved Hye Young! And because she hurt Sun Oh so much and never returned to him, he tried to love Yook Jo. I believe that he was being sincere when he said that he would come everyday until, maybe one day, he rings her love alarm. But nobody can force someone to love someone they don't. But he tried to be happy...

Well, the OST was really nice, but the story was the worse thing for me. I feel like it was extremly forced. The ending was nothing special, more like stupid, and everything in the story destroyed Sun Oh. And honestly, I wouldn't watch it again. I don't feel like its worth it, and that's because the only thing I felt while watching the series, was pain for Sun Oh, and anger for Jojo...

An actually decent watch

I've binge watched the show from season 1 to season 2 in one go and for me it was clear from the beginning who she would end up with. She felt physically attracted by one (kinda problematic) guy, but on the long run started a family with someone more similar and stable. It's actually realistic. When she disappeared from the potentials I knew it was because she is 100% in love from that point, because she let go of her past and was sure now.
I wish they showed the creator more. Maybe they could make a spin-off with the new app for lie detection.
Overall it wasn't as terrible as I've expected because of the ratings. It's nice to see a k-drama where the protagonist changes her love interests over the course of time, instead of the "virgin that marries the first love" cliché. I also like shows that think over the impact of the technology on our lives and it's evolution in history.

IN LOVE WITH BOTH MALE LEADS

So after season 1 I didnt know what I should expect, but i was for sure waiting for season 2. I still dont know who is the second lead in this story, but I think for once in Kdramas we dont have the same kind of love triangle, because i was never sure who she will end up with. I would be happy no matter who she had chose because i think both of them were great characters after all. All the main character annoyed me at times but i think all of them were written like that so we could watch them develop themselves as the show was going.
I did get kinda bored after 6 episodes but no so bored that i wouldnt finish it. I think i was more sad that i would have to say goodbye because Love Alarm was the first Kdrama i ever watched.
It is an okay Kdrama and quite different from the other of its kind.

Utter disappointment

I was screaming to JoJo not to choose hyeyeoung..Jojo is such a bad character she cares for no one..
frst she dumped one boy at highschool for sunoh
then she dumped sunoh for hyeyeoung &
I'm sure she'll be dumping hyeyeoung in future for someone better... I feel so frustrated about her character.. she is such a pathetic and weak character.... Can't even figure out why she dumped sunoh 👎 she said she loved him the most and at the end married another man🤦 i hate her character... Really disappointed... I advice not to watch this drama at all coz if you watch 1st season then you'll have a tendancy to watch 2nd which sure will make you regret..!

A very good drama

Love Alarm in general is very original and a great story. The actors do a wonderful job, and the writing is very well done. There are twists and turns and nothing is too obvious.

Love Alarm Season 2 is not a stand-alone drama. You must have season one fresh in your memory for it to make any sense. You need to remember the little things. I see it as the rest of season one, not a 2nd season.

I believe the low ratings are due to people not knowing or clearly remembering the story. I watched the first season one and a half years ago. I just watched Season 2 Ep 1 and was so lost. After rewatching all eight episodes of season one, it changed everything! Season 2 Ep. 1 seemed like I hadn't watched that episode yet - it made complete sense. The repeat viewing was worth the time.

Another possible reason for low ratings is that the two male leads were competing for the female lead until the very end. 50% of viewers were probably soooo upset that their favorite man didn't win, that they weren't able to forgive the writers. They soothed their wounded hearts by giving low ratings.

...
Where should I begin? Well this season was a mess not only this season but also the first one. To many questions weren’t answered in season two e.g why Jojo left Sun Oh?
I think the bad thing about this drama isn’t that she ended up with Hye Young but the way she ended up with him. It just doesn’t make really sense. Yook Jo was such a good girlfriend even though the ending seemed kinda forced. Overall the episodes were a little bit boring and the crime scenes could have made so much sense but they just put it in and then forget about them and made a creepy stalker like ?!? I really liked the color scheme of the drama.

But can we talk about Brian Cheon aka Ki Do Hoon he is soo handsome 🤭

OST were okay nothing special
I really liked the CGI it was really good
Actingwise it was really good but unfortunately not the story

Was it worth to wait 1.5 years for the 2nd season? No. Would I rewatch it probably not.

Sorry for mistakes^^

I really had my hopes high for this one...

Love Alarm season really got me hyped up and after waiting for almost 2 years I really was expecting a bit more... I'm not sure if it was because I have set my expectations too high or what but I expected a bit more.

First thing first, at the end of S1 we saw the FL running towards the SH and the HK saw them then it ended at that. We didn't even know what happened next? Like hello writers, if you left us with a cliff hanger like that for 2 years I think we do deserve a some kind of closure???

Also, I never really understood why the FL had this urge to always lie. I know she was traumatized by her experience before but it really wasn't explained well why she thinks that people around her would always suffer? From what I saw, she was really being selfish. Her actions towards both the ML and SML were not really justified even at the end. It was really messy.

LASTLY HOW THE HELL DID CDG SURVIVE THAT FREAKING FALL??????? IF YOU LOOK BACK DURING S1, IT LOOKED LIKE HE FELL FROM THE 20TH-30TH FLOOR OF A BUILDING???? HOW THE HECK ARE YOU STILL ALIVE???? AND WHY DID HIS BROTHER ACT LIKE THAT???? I mean I know they had different views on things but was that really that important that you had to turn your back from your brother????

I wish the characters had more depth in them. There were only 3 characters overall whom I saw grew and developed over the epsidoes. Suho, Gul Mi's mom, and Suho's mom. Aside from that, after you know years they all pretty much stayed the same way they did during their highschool years.

Oh well... I guess time to move on to a different drama.

Love Alarm's Long Awaited Sequel

I'm sorry but I honestly don't understand why people love Sun Oh so much. He's such an entitled prick. Jojo doesn't want to become close with him again, she constantly says no or walks away but does Sun Oh listen? NOPE. He constantly yells stuff at her YOU STILL LOVE ME, YOU LOVE ME. That's honestly not attractive at all and kind of a huge red flag. I know how Jojo suddenly dumped you and broke your heart wasn't fair and a really shitty too but that doesn't give him any right to behave like this.

Also, how dare he ask hye yeong how it comes that they aren't close anymore. I'm like bitch you started this by deliberately going after YOUR best friend's crush simply because you wanted to. And the way Sun Oh treats his current girlfriend is simply just horrible. Juk-Yo deserved so much more than she got. I did like him when he was in a relationship with Jojo & he treated her pretty right back then, but I'm honestly so happy that I was team hye yeong since season one.

Also, the stylist of jojo's character truly made her wear hideous things inb the first 2 episodes. The white on white outfits with a colourful jacket weren't the best choices. I truly want to throw away those damn awful white pants.

Song Kang is a great actor BUT OH MY FREAKING GOD I CANNOT STAND LITTLE WHINEYASS SUN OH. He's so freaking annoying, so fucking annoying. The worst person is still jojo's aunt undoubtedly.

CDG... *insert face palm* Did the writers really think we were that stupid? It obviously stands for Cheon Duk-Gu.

I truly wanted Sun Oh to die at one point because he bothered me that much. At one point he even stalked her when she kept walking away from him he still followed her, I'm like bit problematic much eh? And then the stalking didn't even end there.

I also don't understand why people say Jojo is indecisive when she literally always walked away from Sun Oh and never even thought about breaking up with Hye yeong. Honestly Hye yeong is such a precious baby and someone that I would actually love to date.

I gotta say I love Hye yeong and Jojo as a couple a lot more than Sun Oh × Jojo. Maybe I'm a little biased because of my utter dislike towards Song Kang's character or it's simply because Hye yeong is the best boyfriend ever and the better person. We'll probably never find an answer to that, we only know that I'm just 100% one soft bitch for Hye Hyeong.

I don't hate season 2 like some other people do but I do think it's not as good as the first season. I'm also baffled how they were able to make such an interesting concept (like the murders, the murders corresponding with jojo's comic, the anti-love alarm squad, that fake CEO, Duk-Gu faking his own death) into this quite boring 6 episode long final season. I blame it on the fact that the original writers of this show weren't involved with s2 & that 4 new people were hired instead. But it honestly wasn't that bad either.

I'm forever not getting the love that Sun Oh to this day receives; I truly wouldn't want a man like that as my significant other. HYE YEONG FOREVER. I love how my baby suddenly became the first lead instead of the second lead & how Sun oh went from first to second in this series.

Duk Gu was always so precious and cute but omg a new haircut and better clothes truly made him hot.

I kind of like jojo's niece too now. Yeah she's still spoiled but honestly she became kind of really charming.

I love how Jojo matured and became a better person. I liked how there were actually consequences of her hiding the truth constantly. She truly developed into a better person just as her niece did too. We love dem character development.

Okay, I got super emotional when adult and kid jojo met each other. Like damn that symbolism of how she didn't blame herself for her past trauma anymore & how she was able to give it a place. Beautiful.

Hye yeong exciting for her at the finishing line made me fucking emotional.

I don't know if I fully believe in the Yuk jo × sung oh pairing, but I'm really happy that my girl at least got some feelings reciprocated.

I'm happy with the ending & I thought the cinematography of this second season was fabulous but it ultimately didn't live up to what season 1 set up. I still did not think it was as bad as other people say it is. The transition between seasons were a bit chaotic though.
