Super Disappointed
Waited almost two years for the sequel and now that I have seen it, definitely not worth the wait! I had to force myself to keep watching because i was kind of hoping there will be some redeeming factor to it. I honestly think that Jojo made the safe choice with Hye young which is sad because there's really no character progress there. I feel so bad for Sun oh. I guess he's better off without Jojo he deserves so much better. Second season is Meh... will not recommend it. If you haven't seen it and you're rooting for Sun-oh then just stick with Season 1.Was this review helpful to you?

Such a Disappointment
The props department must have gone through LOTS of fake tears. Such a long, drawn-out, sad, downer six episodes (which could have been condensed into just two). Story line just didn't make sense. Really a depressing Season 2 - 90% of the time someone is crying. P.S. Who goes to run a marathon without any prior training.....such a stupid segment for JoJo to 'find' herself! Do Not Recommend wasting six hours watching Love Alarm 2. P.S. By the end of the series, I REALLY didn't like characters, including Jojo.Was this review helpful to you?

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.

Disappointed - wish I didn't watch it
So much disappointment in this drama. I've been looking for season 2 for so long, but I wish I didn't watch it. Just a waste of time.Well season 1 was wayy better. When she was with Sun Oh they were so happy, and their chemistry was so sweet and good. But when she was with Hye Young ,all their parts was always dark. Like she's trying to force herself to love him just bcuz he's good with her. Without the shield she will still be with Sun Oh. Let's be honest. If she truly loved Hye Young, she would've never let Sun Oh kissed her.

My cuppa tea
I love it when Kdrama gets rational (aside from the super-advanced technology) and not just emotional. Guess there's a reason why they have it in 2 seasons - to which I like both. Didn't expect to see that much character developments in such short episodes so I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably the ending that I want and the ending that actually makes sense - though some might actually dislike this. I just finished all 6 episodes in one sitting and I'm about to sacrifice sleep and rewatch it to pick up on the details I'm missing.Was this review helpful to you?

is this season even in anyway connected to s1?
speechless at just how bad S2 was. The story did absolutely NOTHING to convince me jojo was in love with hye yeong. Are we supposed to just forget everything that happened in S1 with sunoh ?? On top of that it was totally boring. They could have leaned more into the crime storylines or the slight dystopian future element of love alarm, instead it was 6 episodes of jojo saying no words and people staring at each other. . I am so so disappointed because s1 was one of my fave dramas. what a load of tosh. Even if it ended with jojo and sun oh together,I would still have to stay it was boring.Was this review helpful to you?

If you think JoJo and sun oh are going to get a happy ending drop it if you don't want to be heart brokenJoJo played with two best friends trempled with both of their feelings.

Breaking Stereotypes
Wow, this is what we call an Ending! I really love the twist! How it shoes the difference of love. Hoping to see more of this type of kdramas!
Feel bad for Sun-oh but he has Yuk-jo who is very patient and understanding too. Hoping they could definitely get their own happy ending.
The ending scene gives me all the chills! Knowing Jojo already love Hyeyoung since the start of Season 2 makes my heart swell! I really cried that both of them seem to be very happy and contented. Their relationship is healthy af ಥ‿ಥ

Messy but enjoyable.
In all honesty, the first season was definitely much better than this season. Season 2 was annoyingly full of wallowing, and miscommunication. Everything would've been sorted IF THEY JUST TALKED. Nothing was being said, Jojo was still indecisive and confused, and couldn't get a word out without being interrupted. smh nothing has really changed for her since the first season.I don't really get what warrants this drama to receive its excessively low ratings - perhaps people didn't like the fact that Son-Oh didn't get the girl? I'm glad he didn't. I read a lot of reviews before writing mine, and seems like i'm in the minority in liking who she ended up with. It was REALLY evident who she loved from the very beginning. We can see how JJ looked at Hye young, the way she missed him and the way she always thought of him whenever anything happened etc- THE SIGNS WERE ALL THERE. Seeing Jojo come to realisation with this was quite satisfying and godamn was I really happy. HY is a total angel from beginning till end.
Ok now Sun Oh, I can't be the only one that found him slightly annoying right? People saying Jojo played with his feelings and strung him along. No, not really imo, she broke up with him 4 years ago. He latched onto this girl for 4 years, demanding an explanation at every chance he would get, whilst stringing ANOTHER girl along. like COME ONNN. I admit he deserved an explanation, (again, lack of communication) but being pushy and rude for 4 years, just coz you're bitter you didn't get jojo?? Poor boy was crying and wallowing for jojo for 4 years straight until the last 10 mins where he's suddenly ok - lol the writers did him dirty.
i know many people really wanted SO to end up with JJ, but i don't think that should be the reason why this season is so disliked. I admit, it was slow at times and really annoying but the maturity in this season was refreshing and realistic. All characters had their flaws- but that's life. You won't always be sure of what you want, feelings change, you get confused and sometimes you need reassurance- AND THAT'S OK. you live and you learn. You learn to trust yourself.
ps. what's actually messy is this review lol
pps. i'm glad the love alarm app doesn't exist in real life.
