Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

Totally disappointed.

How can they just do that. The whole series was just jojo and hye yeong. Why did she not consider sunho feelings. I don’t know I just hate this second season. Sunho deserved way better then what he got. Jojo stole a happy smile and that smile can’t come back. Ahhh this script was not at only that good. It was like the actor were forced to act on the screen. I started the series in the thought that at last she would be with sunho but no she didn’t. Ahhhh too damn sad abt this season 2. It can be way to better but no they didn’t wanted it to be. I am covert disappointed with this season. Never watching it again.

one of the worst endings I’ve ever seen ...

Let me start off by saying, I knew who Jojo was going end up with but, I didn’t think it would be portrayed this badly, so let’s get to it:

In the first season, we the audience are trying to figure out who Jojo likes, it’s very clear in s1 she has feelings for Sun oh, but in s2, those feelings are nowhere to be found, except when both of them are standing together and apparently some sparks fly (but to hell with that because she or the writers don’t see them ...) in s1 she left Sun oh in the dark, literally, she just f— left him with no explanation why, and then in s2 we’re expected to be happy for her when she finally gets together with Hye young, let me also make it clear I have nothing against him as a character, but in all honestly, she had better chemistry with Sun oh and the fact the writers threw his character under the bus, being in the backseat for pretty much the whole damn drama, made me so upset ... but not as upset as both these attractive guys actually seeing something in Jojo, because apparently toward the end of the show, she didn’t just create a shield around Sun oh, oh nooooo, GET THIS EVERYBODY ...

SHE CREATED A SPEAR AROUND HYE YOUNG ...

So throughout s1 & 2 she wasn’t just screwing over Sun oh’s feelings, but the feelings of Hye young, the second guy who actually gave a damn about her, she didn’t give two sh— about ... With all this in mind, you want to know my first thought by the end of the show? Why the hell did these two fight over a someone manipulative like her? Y’all, I would’ve left her ass and said “you don’t know what the hell you want.” Throughout both seasons she was leading BOTH the ML’s on and we’re supposed to be happy for her in the end? Wanna know a satisfactory ending for me? They both dumped her and got together with other people ... I still can’t believe I (we) had to two years for this result because the second season was just ... terrible ... As much as I love Kim So Hyun, this is probably the first FL role I absolutely hated her in ... Another unsatisfactory part about this show: the happy ending was one sided, and that stuff gets to me like no other, if one ML is happy, the other definitely can’t be happy ... Crappy writing at its finest right here.

For more brief technical film parts of this review: cinematography / lighting was great, pacing was fine, screenplay / storyline sucked, directing was fine, OST was bearable, but for the most part, s2 doesn’t have much to offer.

If people ask me why I hate love triangles, and why I won’t watch another drama with love triangle in it? I’ll mention this drama and True Beauty ... nuff said.

Don't be mad people. The whole story makes sense.

If you only focused on the story and not the actors' chemistry, you'd get it. Hye-yeong loved Jojo ever since, even when he hasn't downloaded love alarm yet. The only flaw he had was lack of confidence, so he chose to love her secretly. On contrary to Sun-oh, he was very straight forward. Remember from season 1, Since light travels faster than sound, the thunder is heard after the lightning, Sun-oh and Jojo kissed out of curiosity and not because they were in love, though it eventually evolved to it. It all happened so fast. Meanwhile Hye-yeong had to accept it all and be patient and still continued to love Jojo in the dark. Also Hye-yeong admitted to Jojo that he's old fashioned, hence his love for antique gadgets because he always believe in the old way /tradition in loving somebody without love alarm. When Jojo finally saw all that from Hye-yeong, how can she not like him back? ❤️❤️❤️

Just no

First of all the second season was so good I watched it 6 times I thought sun oh and jojo were gonna get they’re happy ending as they spent so much time together as a couple in season 1 but wtf was season 2 sun oh and gul mi were really the only good thing about it

First of all wtf was the quality it was so white it was not pleasing to watch cause it was so bright

Second where was sun ohs happy ending as he was the one who deserved it more than anyone he suffered to much in season 1 and 2 and they had the audacity to not give him a happy ending like wtf was that I swear I’m so mad I can really throw a chair. Sun oh only got pain after pain jojo left him hyeyoung left him his parents don’t care for him. And they made him end up with yuk jo who he doesn’t love clearly he cares for her but doesn’t love her

Third jojo what a pice of trash like her actor did a great job acting but jojo her character made me mad she’s so worthless If there was an option where jojo died in the story I would click it she doesn’t deserve any of them she wasn’t an enjoyable character worst female lead along with the girl from itaewon class

Forth hyeyoung made me angry at the end he left sun oh then goes back to him like excuse me. Also his dad being in jail was so fucking random like they never mentioned it at all

Fifth gul mi was honestly enjoyable this season I laughed at her scene I regret saying jojo was better than her like never mind gul mi was better also her mom I liked how she wanted her mom to love her life again

Ok now for the love triangle how tf did she pick him they did talk in season one till ep 6 she liked sun oh the whole season then all of a sudden she’s dating hyeyoung and likes him it doesn’t add up sun oh was the only good thing bout this drama and gul mi and duk gu

Also wtf was that kiss at the end i feel like I can kiss my pillow better when I was 5

Like when jojo and sun oh kissed it was with passion but when hyeyoung and jojo kissed it was so bad

Overall i only like sun oh I’m grateful I found out about song kang though I’m waiting for his new drama navillera and sweet him season 2 and his next drama

Uninstall App

The title was the same, the actors were the same, the plot concept was the same, I mean even the writers and director were the same, but did they even watch Love Alarm Season 1? Like did they at least rewatch it before proceeding with making Season 2, like the rest of us did?!

I don’t know what this was. The theme was sad, the characters were sad, the OST was sad, the ending was “happy” but felt sad.

The only character I liked: the Aunt/mom who did a 180 and showed major character development from season 1, she was like a whole new person and it was awesome!

The only relationship I liked: Jojo’s best friend and leather jacket guy, you two write all the notes in that journal. I’ll watch that for 6 hours instead.

These 3 characters: Jojo, Sun-Oh, and Jojo’s cousin are THE most selfish characters. POV: you’re the main character and it shows!!

It was cringey at times, I mean Jojo literally said, after possibly learning DukGu might/might not have committed suicide, “I’m afraid I’ll never be able to get rid of the shield” like whattt, that’s why you’re sad?

It gets better though, apparently Jojo forgot she was dating some other dude when she first met SunOh and thinks she was really in love with HyeYeong all along? Who came up with that reasoning? I’m done.

If this is true then why did she ring SunOh’s love alarm in the first place? Lapse of judgment? Temporary memory loss?? Got sucked into his beauty for a moment? (Okay that last one might be possible, I mean who doesn’t have a collection of oppas). Then love alarm isn’t love, it’s lust alarm. I mean we even see when people quickly change their “love” in the app to someone else.

Okay I’m just ranting now. Overall I think the plot concept is a good one. However, Love Alarm 2.0 was a fake app. It looked like Love Alarm 1, acted like Love Alarm 1, but in the end was just masquerading, I saw right through that, can’t fool me.

Love Alarm 2.0 update had too many bugs in it for me.

*uninstalls app*

I should have just left Season 1 on read!!

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.

LOSS OF TIME

I don’t even know where to start. At first I felt sad (and frustrated AFTER WAITING FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS – this is not a James Cameron production!) we were getting only 6 episodes, but when I saw it couldn’t wait for it to end. I wish I just had only looked how it ended up instead and not watch this at all. HOW CAN I UNSEE SOMETHING?
It was the most tiring, slow-paced, boring season ever. I have watched season 1 probably over 5 times. It was my first k-drama and that’s why I was so invested. For someone to wait for almost two years and checking every month to see if there was an update, this was a letdown.
Let me just start by saying that the characters were all completely different (in a negative way). We knew none of them really. There was no character development. Sunoh was pretty much non-existent (like how can you give the most important character so little screen time while he was the one that made almost everyone watch and like this show?). They knew what they were doing from the start. They knew from season 1, that they needed the views for next season if HYxJOJO would be the endgame, so they took advantage of Song Kang’s image and SunOHxJOJO love story, so in S2 they really pretended it had never existed.
JOJO was the most toxic, indecisive FL I have ever seen. How can you still be like that at that age? Is she 10 yo? She was only hurting everyone around her for no apparent reason. She had no characteristics and no evolvement. No goals, no dreams, nothing. She was never studying, never caring for her friend (seriously what was the purpose of putting her in the show?) or anyone around her. Yet she always felt like everyone around her was hurting her. Instead of wanting a boyfriend (I think her having 3 bf’s in a k-drama is a record), she should’ve just let the brothers alone to avoid their friendship to break. She just toyed with them. They did Sunoh so dirty, both Jojo and Heyyoung.
Heyyoung grew up with him and let a girl come in between them. Yes, maybe he liked her first but that never means he should’ve had her from the beginning. He worked with her FOR YEARS and she never, ever knew him, never cared for him – how people can come up with the idea of, BuT hE LikEd HeR fIrSt! SHE DID NOT EVEN KNOW HIM AFTER YEARS LOL. That says enough about him. He was a very passive person. When Sunoh wanted to communicate about where they went wrong as friends (because Sunoh REALLY did care), he just had the audacity to completely disregard him and just walk away without saying anything. That was WAY worse than what Sunoh did to him (even though in s1 Sunoh was like “Jojo is not an object, let her choose”).
They both broke the bro-code. Heyyoung was the most boring character ever. When characters are silent and shy, they usually have an inner quirky-ness. Heyyoung had nothing. I still don’t know what Heyyoung was doing at his internship or what he wanted to become in life. Just like Jojo; no dreams, no goals- nothing. His only obsession in life was someone he “loved” for over four years without knowing a single thing about that person and having never really talked with her (seriously, what did he like about her again?!).
Sunoh on the other hand was the only normal character (plus Gul-mi, never thought I would say this). He was trying to communicate to understand what was going on and what happened. He wanted to give Jojo all his love when he never even had love from his closed ones. He was never a rich brat. I never understood why people thought he was a bad person. There was not one bad thing about him. He was always there for others without judging them. He never cared about his money or fame and even did good causes. He was not a toxic character nor was he the unhealthy factor in his relationship with Jojo. Even with Yukju he was straighforward and she knew everything about what he did and didn’t feel. Throughout the series I kept thinking of how Jojo did not deserve him and how Yukju was a sweet girl. The scenes with his parents were really confusing and the whole production felt rushed. In S1 everything looked more real and thought-out, now we didn’t even see one single worker of his mother next to her. Did the new director and writer watch S1? I don’t think so. They should be FIRED.
There was literally no plot, no plot development. Romance consisted of them just walking each other home and texting if they have eaten. They were so boring. Jojo was just a pathetic character and I don’t get how no one left her in her life without dying. Jojo and Heyyoung both lacked the skill of communication and communication is key. That was a major red flag. Also, how she did the same FAULT again when using the spear for Heyyoung. Like you used the shield and regretted it and now you use the spear? No wonder he had left. Not to add, HY did not even know about the shield, like ever?
I never thought I would’ve said this but the only one I really liked in this show was Gul-Mi. Such a funny, insane but still sane girl she was. I was glad that Duk Gu hadn’t died and she got her karma.
Duk Gu was annoying to me about how Jojo would’ve rang Heyyoungs love alarm regardless. Because there was no reason for her to like Heyyoung. There was nothing that he had that Sunoh didn’t have. It was all about timing. She breaks up with Sunoh because of her past issues (EVEN AFTER SEASON 2, I don’t understand why) but four years later she still has those issues and no character development, yet suddenly gives Heyyoung a chance. Why? Why not Sunoh? Because suddenly Heyyoung came to the damsel in distress. She would’ve liked anyone at that point.
ALSO, where was the whole Anti-Love alarm group? Why put that in the drama in s1 only to never go back to it in s2? That would’ve made it more realistic and interesting. We all were waiting for that. As I said, they seem two different dramas that not even the characters resemble from one season to the other. Also, almost forgot about that. It’s proven that they knew what they were doing from the start as Sunoh magically was converted from main lead on S1, to second lead on S2.
The saddest scene were I broke down was when Sunoh and Jojo met up for closure. It felt so forced and if it was just for Song Kang and Kim So Hyun they probably would’ve chosen JojoxSunoh. I felt like it was all about timing. It looked like a missed chance. Her saying that she would install the shield again if she went back was disrespecting Sunoh. She should’ve felt ashamed for causing him so much pain. I felt like Jojo would’ve liked anyone who came in front of her. If Sunoh would’ve stayed by her side regardless, I wonder what would’ve happened.
One really funny thing was the “plotwist” they decided to add, like wow! Let’s do it that way! PeOpLe WiLl Be ShOok! When Jojo disappears from HY’s love alarm when Sunoh kisses her. “They will think while watching the trailer that is because she realizes she loves Sunoh, but we will do it because she realizes she loves HY!” Like WOW! Yes! I am so SHOOK! OMG! Y’ALL ARE A GENIOUS! (eyeroll). Only think I thought was, you really REALLY missed this opportunity to capture the public, continue with what your 85% of the audience wants, enhance the ratings and the actors career even more (as if Song Kang needed that, he is already a BRILLIANT actor).
Nobody should feel sorry. Netflix knew what they were doing. We all warned them for not putting out a half-assed season. The fact that they also took away our Sunoh moments and made them Heyyoung’s (liking list etc) was so painful. The scenes were lacking, and a lot of things were left out or rushed (where the hell is the love alarm 2.0 event scene from S1?!). I won’t watch anything of this director and screenwriter again. I cannot believe how they passed this. Even my cat could write it better. There was not even one “wow” moment. I just feel pain for my wasted two years. Like really who did think that this was a good idea? LOL.
There is something that still don’t understand until this day, though. The author uploaded episodes only two days before the launch of S2. There she talks about the spear, which is in the k-drama. That means for sure the incompetent director and the author have talked. WHY, WHY THE AUTHOR found S2 a great idea to do? It should’ve stayed in the archives, for sure. WHATEVER, the new chapters of the webtoon now explain that Sun-ho was the person that has helped Jojo unlock the shield, for her to be with HY. Also, he took the spear and used it on his GF. He finally rings his GF alarm. After this happens, JOJO feels DEPRESSED and realizes her love for him. EXACTLY. THE AUTHOR is leading the story the right way, just as it could’ve ended if the people involved were more competent. It’s a way of her showing how bad they fucked up the series. When the webtoon finishes, if going the right way, will give the reason to the 85% of the audience – because yes, it’s the 85% and NETFLIX KNOWS about it thanks to the poll they did before S2 was ever recorded – and after launching it!. NETFLIX DOESN’T GIVE A SHIT at the moment as I have seen, but it normally takes about two months to give an outcome – they are seeing the bad reviews, the progressively decrease of ratings, and the comments as mine, which really make up the total audience for sure.
There is no way the bad in S2 can be mend in following the webtoon – but for sure in these two months, something has to be stated, seeing how this is going, as seeing how the author really is making sense to the story, a story with a less EMPTY HEADED Jojo, more REAL value to the story – because yes guys, don’t @ me if you were thinking of contradicting me, I don’t have the energy to discuss with people that find this story REAL, DeEp and WiTh MeSsAgE because clearly you haven’t been in Sun-ho’s shoes, or worse, you are either in a forced marriage or forced to love someone at 23 for whatever responsibility or lie you have told to yourself. Because “REAL MESSAGE” is force yourself in loving someone (both for Sun-hoxGF and JojoxHY)? Don’t get me started. OK I AM DONE, thanks for listening to my ted talk. Please again, don’t @ if you are thinking of discussing with non-sensical points, I am tired and won’t answer or even read it lol. Thank y’all <3

Jojo needed more time with herself before deciding who to date

This is actually my first review on a drama even though i have watched over a 100 Kdramas, Cdramas, Thai dramas etc. I felt i had to write this review mainly because i was highly disappointed with not just the ending but also the way the plot developed. I am team Sun-Oh but contrary to what people will think, this is not the main reason i disliked season 2.

To start it off, my first problem with the drama was the way in which they failed to connect season 1 with season 2.This is something i find common in Kdramas that get a season 2, the season 2s become a whole new drama on their own. Because they failed to connect season 1 and 2, i felt Jojo and Hye young's romance was not justified. How did they go from barely talking and interacting in season 1 to Hye young actively pursuing Jojo in season 2. She even goes to his apartment in episode 1 and sleeps over sometimes. This does not make sense to me.

Also a lot of people have been saying Jojo and Hye young's romance developed over the season but i don't see it because to me they seemed so awkward around each other. Whenever they would have actual conversations Hye young would begin rambling about things that it is obvious Jojo is only half listening to. This was not the case with her relationship with Sun Oh in season 1, they were both so invested in the relationship before it tragically ended. This also leads to my next point, Jojo never gave a reason for why and when she fell out of love with Sun Oh, if she even did. In season 1 she claimed she would love him forever but suddenly in season 2, she no longer loves him and only has feelings for Hye young.

Lastly, i got to episode 6 but i couldn't watch it to the end, i watched it up to the marathon scene before dropping it. Jojo's decisions just never felt justified. I think she needed some time not just a day or a week but some o more time to think about herself and who she truly loves irrespective of who has been waiting for her. Because the truth of the matter is that both boys have been waiting for her, one was just given the privilege of waiting beside her while the other was denied that privilege for "his own good" according to Jojo.

On a last last note, a lot of people have been saying Sun Oh is toxic because he got with a girl his best friend liked. I disagree with this totally. Sun Oh was wrong for kissing her while she was still in a relationship, no argument there, but he wasn't wrong in pursuing her even though Hye young liked her. Hye young made absolutely no moves to show Jojo he liked her in season 1, he never talked to her or did anything with her so why should Sun Oh back off. With the way season 1 was looking, Hye young was never going to make his feelings known simply because he didn't have the confidence. Sun Oh had the confidence and he went for it and there is nothing wrong in doing. As long as you are not dating or have plans to date, then he did nothing wrong in that aspect.

"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.
