first kdrama
love alarm was my very first kdrama and as a new kdrama watcher, it was entertaining. the storyline seemed interesting when i saw the trailer, so that's why i watched it. there are far better kdrama's out there though and most of the ep's are a bit boring to watch. to be honest: the characters were not really sparkling with personality, but somehow i kept watching. i think it was because i didn't know what i had to expect for a kdrama. my conclusion is that it was fine, but it's definitely a kdrama for beginners.Was this review helpful to you?
For me, it is hard to see this drama in a serious light because I find myself struggling seeing the two main leads with their acting. They are both so awkward on the screen. I did finished the drama but I root more on Hye Yeong. I don't know if he is the second male lead or not since the season was not yet released.
The storyline is a bit too 'teenager' for my taste but I'm looking forward to the next season and see if I could relate since they would venture after the schooling part.

OST FTW
It's weird how overall empty this season felt given that it spanned eight hours. Like, nothing much happened. She met a guy, started dating him, they broke up, she kinda got together with the other guy.However, I was engrossed and thoroughly invested throughout. None of the episodes felt boring and long, which is often the case when stories don't have much going on. But I was hooked.
I especially loved all the autumnal colors. Gold and red leaves everywhere. Aesthetically gorgeous. And the music matched the tone of the show very well, too. Very mellow, chill songs.

Girl what is this-
I've actually watched both of the seasons but I thought why don't I post it on the first season cuz mhm...SPOILERS
PS; somethings i talk about are like in the series so if you're somoene who just wants spoiler this isn't the perfect place since i talk criss cross (from plot to plot).
they're so many times i've just been sitting there and trying to figure out why? Just why? Almost everything they do is just questionable!! Like okay not everything goes as you want but let me tell you something, this girl Kim Jojo is so frustrating!! She never said the actual truth why that she put on the shield after just eavesdropping on ONE CONVO!! I find her way too sensitive and everytime that she has a chance to say the truth or tell Sun-Oh WHY the fck she 'lost' feelings! Both of them, no, ALL of them have had zero changes in behaviour! Jojo doesn't care or is too ShYy or whatever it is to tell the damn truth to Sun-Oh so that he can get over his first love?? And the fact she just goes to his bestfriend like the AUDACITYYYY.
Okay fine they presented justice for second leads, but what's the point of second leads if they turn out to be first leads after all? I'm not mad at the fact that okay, maybe she actually felt something for Hye-yeong ( the bestfriend of sun-oh) because she didnt use her love alarm thingy to show the 10m radius thing but still. Also that new gf of Sun-oh got me BOILING i'm not done with Jojo, but both of them are pathetic in there own way. You can see it's clearly one sided love especially at the end with their hugging scene wiht Sun-oh tryna force a smile. But ALL of this wouldnt have happened if Jojo didn't put the shield on. And I refuse to believe that she bought a new phone and still it didnt undo the shield, its like the creator REALLY didn't want her to undo it. ( i mean i guess my guy). Even him the creator self couldnt undo it. What shitty programming.
Let's not even talk about the cousin of Jojo, maybe idioticness runs somewhere in the family because Gul-mi is just the worse vers. of Jojo. The fact that even at the end she didnt feel anything for the poor guy. And cherised the fact that it was made for HER. Girly only looks at looks and not at heart. I do like the actress for her duality.
Also small point before i end cuz i'm getting an HEAD-ACHE.
The timing of the end plot doesnt really work out. Unless he 1st episode was close to senior year. But then still. Dude, how long you been crushing on the girl and haven't talked to ANY relatives of your main crush?? You that slow?? How did NO person at all ever question "are we sure this maker of Love Alarm isn't anyone else?" As sure as I know Reporters are nosy and dramatic asf sometimes. Also with that talent and money didn't any of his parents know? was it a Brother brother thing?
ALSOO at a certai point, you can see at the ned of the episode that the creator of Love ALarm literally jump of the balcony...i thought he was dead? Like the what ifs are so big!
Anyway time to stop maybe i'm talking nonsense now.

i liked the story it was a new idea and brillant . i even downloaded love alarm because this serie. i was so obsessed and watched the whole serie in a day but unfortunatelly the last 3 episodes were so bad to the point that i though to change the rate to lower.anyhow, i think the second saison she will find a wy to delete the shielder and go back to her ex.thus,overall drama is good.this is the first time that i write a review and i did it because i like the drama regarless of the bad ending or what i could call "the catastrofy scenario".

Couldn’t stop watching cause the acting and chemistry were perfect. Music was nice. The story was interesting but I don’t understand why she had to breakup with him instead of sharing her fears and working thru them. Also why was her past a problem for her present? The end left me frustrated. Sun oh and Jojo were just going to live a life with someone else even if their hearts weren’t into it? Oh and didn’t the developer commit suicide? I am so confused! Hahaha! I just get too invested! I wish there was a second season with a more conclusive ending. Was this review helpful to you?

I love Love Alarm watched like 12 times but I just don’t understand why is it so hard for Jojo to want to be with Sun oh again she admits it was her fault for breaking up and she will never love anyone that way again so whyyyyyyy won’t she just be with him he obviously loves her! What exactly was her reason for breaking up with him because he wasn’t answering his phone ? Lee hye young knew what he was doing he wants the pity party but no Sun oh ask and continued to ask if he liked her and in the end he was kind of breaking friend code all the way and being selfish he knew Jojo loves Sun oh so why he being so messy?

the show is either giving you main lead syndrome or second lead syndrome
This show love alarm is a good show, i can't wait for season 2 because kim jojo needs to end up with hwang sun-oh. The show leaves you with a really big cliffhanger. The show is about an app they show you if you like a person. the other male lead in the show is Lee Hye‑young he likes jojo thru highschool but doesn't say anything to her and is bestfriends with hwang sun-oh, sun-oh if famous and when he came back to korea he sees jojo and falls in love jojo eventually also falls in love and they date but jojo is scared for her feelings after an accident happens she breaks up with sun-oh and he is broken. a few years happen and jojo pases by sun-oh and Hye‑yeong. Hye‑Yeong sees her passing by and tries to find her after not talking for years, he finally gets to talk to her. Hye‑yeong confesses to jojo by ringing her love alarm. she meets sun-oh and his girlfriend and they have the app love alarm opened and we see jojo has 1 person that likes her around her ( aka sun-oh ) then Hye‑yeong comes running in and we seek now jojo has 2 people around her that likes her. THAT'S HOW THE STORY ENDS!!!!!!. we don't know what on sun-oh phone. but something that we know is that she still secretly still has feelings for him, we also don't know what shows up on Hye‑yeong phone, and we don't know if she actually has feelings but something we can guess is that she likes him we don't know if its romantically or more like friends.Was this review helpful to you?

As soon as i watched the trailer this drama grasped my attention. I finished it in a day and was satisfied. The story has romance and besides having a cliche (ish) romance deals with real matters such as the people dying in the park because they felt alone. This drama is one of my favorites and i would recommend it. Especially since it will actually have another season coming. My only complaint was it leaving me on a cliffhanger.Sorry if i made any grammar/spelling mistakes ^^^
Please do not come at me if you disagree with what im saying, this is my opinion. ^^^
Thank you <3

really exciting and interesting storyline that can make it hard to stop watching once you start. The characters are lovable and easy to get attached to, as they have much background.... one that actually made me cry. The male lead actor is adorable another level. Definitely worth watching, just hoping for a season 2 soon cause its too good but too short i finished it all in one day and its too much for my heart to bear T__T

Not sure yet...
Undecided whether I understand the story, maybe a short Series for this story was its shortfall or the unexplained events led to the confusion.I loved the new concept of the story, it was creative. I was really looking forward to watch the story.
It really started off well, the paste of the story development was good.
I also did like the acting of the cast, it was good. The special effects and music of the love alarm was nice and cute.
Heading down the middle of the story until the end, I got lost in the story, not sure I understand what is going on, like the story got tangled at some point and could not be undone.
Anyways, I was so excited about seeing a new concept in the story, and loved the fact that it was a short series.
However, it did not deliver on how the story went and I am not a big fan of open ending where you have to guess on how it would end. Maybe if there is a second season on the works, it would give more balance to the story. As is now, the story seems like unfinished.
Overall, it was a good series, but it could have been great if it was a finished story, or if there is another season on the way.
Rewatch value maybe.
