The idea could have been nice, but it was ruined in more and more ways
Before watching a drama, I usually do some research and try to figure out if I will enjoy the story or if it is worth my time. This is to say that the story (8 episodes in Love Alarm and 8 episodes in Love Alarm 2) wasn't that bad, however imaginative, but it was ruined by some script choices and above all by an ending that made little sense and was not very pleasant. The kind of ending that leaves you thinking "the they did it on purpose to show that they are different and don't do things like everyone else"Was this review helpful to you?

A very cute and fresh story
If you're looking for a nice drama, without any pressure and without those often over-constructed twists, 'Once Upon a Small Town' is the show for you. The number of episodes and duration are reduced compared to usual dramas, but the story is not affected.Sometimes some scenes can be a little over the top and it's curious to have a police officer who seems to do everything except the police officer, but this helps the script to create gimmicks and new stories.
Joy and Choo Young Woo are very nice together. Joy's character in particular is very sweet and positive, and her smile lights up the series

A very sweet and positive drama, featuring lovely actors
The story's premise — a girl who must pretend to be a robot — is a nice one and provides the right amount of gimmicks and enjoyable moments.The actors were all really good. Chae Soo Bin stands out for her funny and touching portrayal of two different characters, which allows her to use several registers and demonstrate her incredible talent. Kim Min Kyu is also good, even if the script relegates him to a character with fewer expressions and facets.
Special mention goes to... episode 27, which features flashbacks of the most significant events to clear up any misunderstanding and connect the past and present together with a lovely vision of the future.

10 years have passed, but it is still a fresh drama, that is absolutely worth seeing
The topic is more relevant than ever: the way journalists tell the news, always having the truth at heart and not ratings and the spectacularization of events, especially the saddest ones.The only criticism that could be made is the expedient at the basis of the story, i.e. stating that one person in forthy-tree cannot lie since every lie causes hiccups... Anyone of us knows more than 43 people and none of them have continuous hiccups, so the claim seems a bit extreme, or at least the statistical numbers a bit excessive for a story that wants to talk about reality. Despite this premise, the whole drama is told in a fairly realistic and believable way.
Both actors impressed me greatly. Lee Jong Suk is always a safe bet, but this time I found Park Shin Hye particularly good and full of expressiveness. She not only looked stunning, but she also did a fantastic job as an actress, defying a lot of the criticism she has faced in the past.
Special mention goes to... the best first NON-kiss in dramas, as well as one of the sweetest goodbyes between Main Lead and Female Lead
Second special mention goes to... the scenes between grandfather and Dal Po in episode 4. Very touching and full of humanity
