O.M.G.

As soon as Netflix had sent me a notification that there had supposedly been a new drama out called "Love Alarm" I clicked on it without even thinking 100% And let me just say that I made the best choice of that whole entire day. I spent the whole day and the next morning (because I didn't want to watch a short season so quickly since I already fell in love and didn't want to get hard broken) non stop. The whole story to me was very creative. Personally speaking I think some originally book stories that then turn into dramas usually turn out very great!

You probably already know what it is about it's really not difficult which is also another great part of the show. No part of the show made me replay 16 times because I didn't understand, it was point, blank, period.

I absolutely loved the connection with Kim Jojo ( love her name) and Sun Oh SO much! They looked so cute and Sun oh is just such a cutie! And the fact that they always sticked together and on episode 5 or 6 when Jojo went straight to him for protection, I absolutely loved that. Another thing is, the background info they had on Jojo was good too and all added up, no cover ups, slow paced, nada. It was truly the perfect timing for us to know her background.

Although I would write a whole biography on this book and place the show in a precious museum, there are some things where I as a viewer had to say were petty. These things were just more minor than really big it wasn't exactly the directors fault more just how the character itself was. I'm saying this because (spoiler I suppose is coming), Sun Oh's best friend had a crush on Jojo and Sun Oh never once hesitated with going for her. I mean he did fall in love with her right when she got back but his friend HAD liked her first... even though Hye Young took to long for a move lol.

Another flaw was Kim Jojo's ways. She ran away from a lot of her "problems" that wouldn't be problems if she hadn't over stressed herself with fear. I won't spoil this one but episode 6.... It still confuses me on why she did what she did and actually had me stop watching for 30 minutes to process her point at all. Even before she'd do stupid small things and say she could never explain or it was to "protect that other person". The female lead sometimes does that in dramas but I feel like in so many they Never explain how exactly it "protects" the other which I wish she, or her show, could have explained haha.

Thank you if you've made it through the end, or even skimmed :)
