Just as the headline suggests, I was wrong... Sure there were elements of a light and fluffy romance but what I was quite surprised about was how deep and much darker this drama showed to be. I would say I went into this with a pretty open mind as I tried to stay away from edits but some edits that I had seen had drawn me in and had, in turn, made me more curious about love alarm.
I already knew that only half of the show was released... Not sure I like this concept I'd rather have it all out in one go or at least on a consistent and regular schedule.

It would be easy to say that I was quite conflicted throughout and easily swayed. I couldn't figure out if I liked Sun Oh and I was really mad that he courted Jojo knowing Hyeyeong liked her, do you need him to say he doesn't like her to make yourself feel better about it? But I couldn't be too mad because I liked them together he was SO nice to her and it made all the difference with her pretty sad life. Then came the problems which I feel we whizzed past through (which I guess I'm thankful for the fact that we didn't have to deal with too much angst). Hyeyeong even mustered up his courage to court her and I was so happy. It's hard to say who I want her with. It would have made all the difference if he told her from the beginning or it was clear that he'd liked her even before Sun oh came along.

I really feel for her Sun oh's new partner too especially after the last episode. She's such a sweety as well :(

What I'm really curious about is Duk Oh :( I want a bit more on his story. It feels very plot holey. Also, who is the creator now? If not him.

If you guys have watched school 2015 (Kim So Hyun's in that as well), I had major flashbacks to that show whenever I saw how badly Jojo's cousin and aunty were treating her. Her ex-bestie was so mean to her as well, It really made me frustrated and feel for her. I can see her growing a backbone in this and that makes me happy :')

Doesn't Hyeyeong look like Kim Soo Hyun!!
