Love Alarm Season 2 (2021)

What a let down!

You’re obviously here because of that terrible cliffhanger a while ago. (To me, it felt that the first season ended quite abruptly, I honestly thought the producers gave up and that should have been my clue for season 2.)
Anyway, you will watch it no matter what I tell you.

But fair warning:
Little or no character development, with a few exceptions. The majority of these young people have no assertion, as if they have given up on life and depend on the love alarm - unless that’s the morale of the story.
Spineless and eternally pain enduring characters which is a non sensical approach, given that all of them fight for their education/work/peace of mind and do quite well no matter the background they grew up in…. It makes everyone quite unrelatable in that sense.

Then, the choices some characters make are more realistic in the end (but NOT at all coherent with their character).
Personally, I did not want to emerge in reality by watching this drama, rather than escape it. So make of that what you will.
4/10

it's not what you've been waiting for

Well, let's start with the fact that I was completely disappointed with the second season.Why? The reasons are simple so let me put it this way: From the beginning showing Kim Jojo's great love for Hye-Yeong was artificial.Completely pushing Sun-Oh aside,no reaction to his feelings from Kim Jojo as if she showed that she totally doesn't care what he's been going through emotionally for 4 years. Most of the scenes were dedicated to Hye-Yeoung and Sun-Oh was like just a background extra.They didn't give him an interesting plot thread,there were no twists and turns,his role was dating a person he doesn't love and flattening his actions as a model which was a very easy thing to do because he did it in the first season too.he worst part is that he's been very emotionally distraught and crying all season, and it's no wonder since he's been treated like a person who means nothing by his ex-friend and Kim Jojo's love. I'm really disappointed in how Hye-Yeong treated Sun-Oh where in the first season you could see them supporting each other like brothers and it was so wonderful and touching at times.And in the second season for Hye-Yeong Sun-Oh ceased to exist.Even though Kim-Jojo was hiding the truth about the shield and the spear the whole time he forgave her after Duk-gu's words to the app creator. Very strange and even more so saying at the end of Kim-Jojo to Su-Oh goodbye as if there was nothing between them then why was the story building throughout the first season?!!!Not even shed a tear it was a huge blow to Sun-Oh.The only thing I can praise is Sun-Oh's mother character who seemed warm and showed that she was able to show love to her son and be understanding.At the end when there is a record of Kim-Jojo's feelings there was no record at all of the day when his alarm went off from her.So she didn't love him at all?!!! The second season as I watched it didn't have the magic and sweet moments as if I was watching a different series.The ending was the worst forcing Sun-Oh to a person he doesn't love that maybe his alarm activates on her and a very predictable ending for Kim-JoJo with Hye-Yeong for the whole scope of the episodes you could infer that it would be like that in the trailer they manipulated us and it was very much that it could be different.The biggest disappointment I was to experience.

:(

Can i be honest. I was very disappointed about season 2. Makes me think what even was the point of season 1? they should of either left season 1 as it was and changed the ending to not being a cliffhanger. Season 2 was very confusing and frustrating suddenly shes dating the dude who would stalk her all the time , still dated him even tho she had no feelings for him which makes me feel bad for Hye Yeong she was literally playing with this dudes heart honestly Hye Yeong should be with someone who actually loves him i can't help but feel that she forced herself to like Hye Yeong because she already dumped Sun Oh and Sun Oh is in a new relationship. Don't even get me started on how much she played with Sun Oh feelings as well. Season 1 they were perfectly fine together. Near the end of season 1 they split ways all because she decides to get a shield so that her love alarm wouldn't go off she was a afraid to lose him? why? they were perfectly happy and Sun Oh didn't do anything to make her think that they wouldn't last Sun Oh really loved her and she loved him so why did she do this to herself? and break Sun Oh and her heart and relationship , also making matters worse she didn't even tell Sun Oh the reason why she broke up with him until season 2 which is what like a few YEARS later?? Also the fact that Sun Oh still loved her after all these years even when she dumped him without a reason and left , you can tell by this that Sun Oh must of really loved her. Now onto season 2 ugh i don't even wanna talk about season 2. Season 2.. Sun Oh meets Jojo after these years and what does jojo do? run away again like she did before. Sun Oh chased after her. Sun Oh asks Jojo the reason why she dumped him and FINALLY she tells him the truth Sun Oh confesses he still loves her and Jojo runs away AGAIN. They meet somewhere and Sun Oh kisses Jojo and says something like "im going to believe what ur eyes say". Also Jojo doesn't avoid the kiss. Which makes us think that she still had feelings for him but would keep denying it that she loves Sun Oh. This obviously makes Sun Oh upset and confused just as i felt lmao. Anyway at this point she runs away while Sun Oh is left standing there in the rain crying.. then like idk weeks or a month later? shes dating Hye Yeong. This season was a Roller Coaster for sure it was all over the place. Sun Oh and Jojo should of been together in the end. Most of the viewers wanted Sun Oh and Jojo to be together as well. Also id like to point out that this is MY OPINION everyone has a right to have an opinion. I wanted to share my honest review. not everyone will agree with me obviously and that's fine , like i said everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Nothing will change my mind about this show so i'm will stick to my opinion thank you.

I am very disappointed

I am very disappointed. It's so unfair why let Sun Oh take the lead in ss1 and push him to second place in ss2. He's like the 3rd person between Jojo and Hye Yonh's story ?? Losing herself and chasing after Jojo and ready to abandon literally everything for anything. He got crushed for 2 seasons so it's not fair .
The four characters are very ignorant of their own feelings. It's so frustrating watching this season. I will treat it as if this season never happened
You don't get the point. Hye Yeong deserves it, why? Because they try normal dating ways and don't rely on love alarms (apps). We can say other than Sun Oh deserves it but Yuk Jo is there for him

Regretting this

I want to rate 0 but I think that's too extreme. Thus I settle for 1. I was anticipating this for 2 years only to see sun oh getting hurt over and over again. I'm disappointed. Super unhappy with the ending. I'm dropping this. Just gonna pretend this series never exist.

Some might be happy with the ending but not me. I hate this series so bad now, I regret liking the first one. I can't believe I wait for 2 years for nothing. I don't understand why do I even bother watching this series in the first place. Sun oh and jojo chemistry is too good, but this 2nd season destroys it. They should just end the series at that cliffhanger in the first season. Its wayyy better than this. I don't recommend you watching this second season. In fact, if you have not start watching the first season, don't even bother watching it. The ending is so bad. With all my heart, I hate it. Thank you.

WHAT THE F*$K WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE, I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAITED TWO YEARS FOR THIS!

"If you can't be with the one you love, be with the one that is nice to you." That is basically what S2 of Love Alarm was about. I have no idea what everyone else is talking about, but Jojo should not have been in a romantic relationship of any kind until she unpacked the trauma she endured from her parents suicide and from the mistreatment of her aunt and cousin. The drama didn't even pick up where it left off for one, for two Jojo broke up with Sunho because she felt she was cursed, so why did she enter a relationship with Hye-Yeong?

Also, this whole "Jojo liked Hye-Yeong all along", is complete nonsense because she didn't even know he existed until she started dating Sunho nor that he had feelings for her until the very end of S1. Also this whole, "Hye-Yeong has loved and been there for Jojo all along", UM NO HE LITERALLY WASN'T SUNHO WAS, HYE-YEONG WAS A COWARD WHO DIDN'T EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS AND THEN WHEN HE DID, IT WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS BESTFRIEND, IT WAS UNDERHANDED AND DIRTY! He knew how much Sunho loved Jojo, Sunho asked him repeatedly if he had feelings for her, and Hyeong DENIED IT EACH AND EVERY TIME! He's the worst kind of friend! AND IT IS FITTING BECAUSE HYE- YEONG LOOKS LIKE THE WEASEL THAT HE IS!

But I digress, moving on... Three, Duk-Ju and his partnership with the CEO/ Face of the company was not properly explained nor did it make sense why Love Alarm would not comply with the police in order to catch a literal serial killer.

Four, speaking of serial killers, the homicide/ group suicides were not discussed enough, actually it was barely discussed at all. Neither was Jojo's parents suicide/ homicide attempt. Five, the chemistry between Jojo and Hye-Yeong is still giving brother/ sister/ bestie vibes, not lover vibes, those "I love yous" sounded more like "I care for you", which is sweet but it's very different. And if she's over Sunho then why is she still so emotional over him every time she sees him? If it's really her choice not to love him then why still rely on the APP still? Both Jojo and Hye-Yeong relied on the APP to tell them their feelings just as much as Sunho did, yet Sunho is the only one that was honest about it.

Six, Duk-Ju and Jojo's heinous cousin, that story line also made no sense and neither did the sudden dynamic flip between Jojo's aunt and cousin. Seven, I don't understand why Jojo still lived with them when it's clear, she could have afforded her own space and how she claimed that she wouldn't run anymore yet, she was still running away from her problems and chose the safe choice which is Hye-Yeong, who she again, should not have been with in the first place (romantically), if she felt she was so undeserving and cursed.

So it's ok to potentially kill or ruin Hye-Yeong's life but not Sunho? Doesn't that kind of drill in the fact of who she actually loves and wants to be with but is just to cowardly to be with? I think it does. Eight and final point. S2 was a complete, nonsensical waste of time. Truthfully, all Jojo did was settle which made Sunho settle and to me that is far worse, dragging two innocent people into toxicity because you're too cowardly to fight for the life you want with the one you truly love.

Love Alarm S2 was a complete joke. I sincerely hope this is some type of dumb alternative ending or a dream sequence and that it gets renewed for a S3. Even if she does end up again with Hye-Yeong in the end, make it make sense. Make it be endearing and not like Hye-Yeong is some afterthought, second choice, safe choice, stand in and the same goes for Sunho's rebound. Because both deserve better than that. This season was heinous, I heard the webtoon ended the same, which for some reason upsets me even more. - Dassit.

I found no continuity in history, I feel like I was watching different dramas

I wait 2 years for this and I really feel that I waste my time, I feel I watched two different dramas.

I was team Sun Oh but watching the drama from a more objective and mature point, I still being unsatisfied.

I think they left a lot of things unfinished like what happened in the update event?
I would have liked to see that Jugko thought when she saw Sun Oh makes sound Jojo's alarm and also I would like to see how Jojo and Hye Yeong start dating.
I don't understand why Dukgu faked his death and it was also unclear to me who was leading the Antilove Alarm movement or what happened to it...

Honestly I feel disappointed, I don't like it and I also think it was really boring.

In the whole drama I saw Jojo running and hiding, she never explain to Sun Oh why she broke up with him and she also can't be honest with Hye Yeong, first the shield and then the spear, both ways to hide and lie.
I felt that the relationship between Jojo and Hye Yeong was forced, I suppose by the fact that I didn't know how it was that she decided to start a relationship with he.

For Sun Oh and Yukjo they both had a very unfair ending, Yukjo deserved someone who really loved her and not someone who only stayed with her because the person he really loves didn't choose him.
Why he would love her overnight if even in four years he didn't do it?

I would have liked to see that Sun Oh will really outperform Jojo, that he will manage to heal his wounds, perhaps fix his problems at home, really fall in love, etc.
For this season his appearances were minimal and in all I saw him suffering.

I only would like to see Jojo being honest and brave, I don't know why people say that she grows in this season because I think she still being very inmature.

I know that the ending is attached to the webtoon but if it were to, I would have preferred that from the beginning they would do it that way. in the first season Sun Oh has so much prominence that even there are those who did not even know Hye Yeong's name and only placed him as "Sun Oh's friend" not really like a main character.

I have nothing against Hye Yeong but I honestly had very high expectations and I expected much more from this season, I also feel that Hye Yeong deserves more.

Love Alarm 2 felt so rushed.

First of all, what happened in the final scene of the first season? We will never know!
With that being said, i can resume Love Alarm 2 in one word: rushed. The end was understandable, they did a good job showing why Jojo choosed Hyeyoung over Sunoh, and because of that i didn't get more frustrated.
But talking about Sunoh, it really makes me sad the fact that Jojo never gave him a proper explanation of why she installed the shield - even when he asked for an explanation - Jojo's reasons were never explained to him and i have the feel that in this case it'll be so hard for him to get over his feelings for Jojo. On other hand, Hyeyoung was a really nice character but they failed to show him as a interesting person... if you look back he don't have any other interest, it's just Kim Jojo, i thought that with the whole situation of his father Hyeyoung would show a more interesting side of himself... but no!
The scene of Jojo and Sunoh letting each other go was the most beautiful and memorable to me, it gives a big feeling of nostalgia and made me realize that in real life not every first love stay together forever...
For me, the script was really poor taking into account the character were adults and not teenagers anymore. Some things would be more acceptable if the dialogues were better.
I think things in this season could have been better. It was bittersweet ending.

terribly executed

terrible. 0/10. giving it a six in my rating list just because sun oh wouldn’t want me to rate him lower than that and i love him too much. anything else: hated it.
the lights? what the fuck was up with that, director-nim.
the plotholes? smol boy comes wandering around after five years of minding his own business and instead of giving solutions he creates more problems. also where did he come from. where did he go. did he create the spear for the giggles, because that was the most useless tool i've ever seen.
the male main character? most boring, flat acting i've ever seen. at least you can actually tell apart emotions with sun oh.
kim flipping jojo? yeas dear go ahead and realize you've been a terrible main character and then proceed to do NOTHING to fix that. talk about character development there. poorly executed if you ask me.
this was a drama about choices; let me tell you, those were the most boring and terrible choices i've ever seen. breaking the boy's heart for nothing? bad choice. using the shild? bad choice. not contacting CDG to get your shield removed and instead using the dumb spear tool? terrible choice.
the reasons behind the whole thing were also ridiculous. "oh yeah you disappeared from his potentials when you kissed sun oh bc you were in lOvE with hye young." what shitty explanation is that. at least make it believable.
all in all i'm going to pretend like this whole show did not happen. wasted two years of my life waiting for it only to find out i hate it, after all.

Disappointment

After waiting almost 2 years, I expected the story to continue on that cliffhanger. Okay, they didn’t. Not a big deal because we’ll probably get some flashbacks showing how they got to where they are right? Nope. We get thrust into this relationship between Jojo and Hyeyoung, and it’s not that I don’t like the pairing, it’s just never fully explained why she won’t go back to Sunoh even though she clearly loves him. Even their break up in season 1 was fine because we knew that she loved him enough to eventually choose him. I get the point that it’s to show that she has a choice. I’m always like, they always go for the jerk that mistreats them why not the nice guy. I think this story would have made more sense if from the beginning it showed that she had that passion for Hyeyoung. Instead, we get 6 episodes where it seems she’s trying to force herself to fall in love. I dunno, coulda been better written.
