The first season was good. But...
“If you go by what everyone says about this drama, I wouldn't have watched it. Its story is captivating and throughout the narrative, the characters develop in perfect synchrony. The love triangle that exists, made me ask several times who Jo Jo would be with. But my dorameira heart screamed louder, and for sure, I liked the couple Jo Jo and Sun-Oh better.I would like to add in this analysis that there were indeed moments when I wanted to put Sun-Oh in a pot, because he is so human and a typical character who respects women, in addition to his way of enduring and waiting for Jo Jo's summer love ( this really is cliché!).
In principle, another character that brought a very good analysis was Jo Jo herself, with her game of coldness and fear of giving her heart to Son-Oh.
Another factor that I have to detail is the use of the application for the purpose of finding 'who loves you' (fictional), which is the main mechanism for the story to revolve, but which, in a way, showed its development and despite everything I liked it . Furthermore, it itself provides a warning and raises questions for the public, such as: - every media or digital world -
"how far does your mind go within technology?" or "Are we influenced by all kinds of data/apps?"
Kisses, bye-bye!!

Enfim, vou vou procurar sempre fazer as resenhas, e é isso aí.
Eu comecei a assistir bem interessada na sinopse e porque amo a Kim So Hyun né, eu tento acompanhar tudo o que ela faz, muito embora este não seja o primeiro drama dela que precisei me arrastar pra assistir tudo.
Honestamente, não entendo o sucesso de Love Alarm, foi de fato um drama superestimado. A premissa é até que interessante sim, e abre espaço pra uma série de abordagens importantes que correm solta em nossos tempos atuais, como sobre o quão rasos e vazios andam nossos relacionamentos, seja de amizade, família, romance, o que for. Agora, em especial relações amorosas, a série nos faz refletir mais profundamente. Além disso está o questionamento sobre o quanto o mundo e a sociedade dão importância às aparências, coisas superficiais. O quanto um mundo de fama e glamour é capaz de, literalmente, criar uma hierarquia entre pessoas que merecem ser amadas e as que não merecem (porque, afinal, não conquistaram nada na vida). Enfim, essas coisas pesam bem em nossas reflexões durante o drama.
Contudo, esse é o único ponto que considero positivo. O resto achei uma soma de coisas chatas, clichês e arrastadas. Não vi carisma nos protagonistas. Parece que se preocuparam demais em deixar suas problemáticas mais aparentes, que se esqueceram do carisma, da coisa boa de se mostrar em cada um. Quase não vemos isso. E quando tentam mostrar um pouco, já não cabe o contexto, é numa hora onde mostrar isso se torna cansativo, como se estivessem apenas enrolando o drama, o famoso enchendo linguiça.
Quadrado amoroso que fala também né, super clichê. Mas ok, poderia ser um clichê bom, mas não é. Você revira os olhos algumas vezes e inclusive (foi o meu caso) é possível que você se pegue avançando algumas cenas.
Até que o drama consegue ser gostosinho na primeira parte, um clichê gostosinho e tal. Mas na segunda parte a coisa cai de um jeito bem arrastado mesmo. Você termina de assistir só por birra, e por querer saber alguns desfechos né, mas fora isso a vontade de passar pro próximo drama quentinho da sua lista é muito maior.
Eu recomendo e não recomendo, não sei. Tem uma premissa e reflexão boas, mas um enredo bem fraco, então é aquilo, né, quem quiser que arrisque. Se você tiver algo aparentemente bem melhor pra assistir, então deixe este aqui pra próxima, sério. É isso.

Difícil?
Eu acho que a cultura da Coreia cria jovens fracos emocionalmente, entendam que não é uma crítica destrutiva, quero fazer uma comparação à minha própria vida, onde me sentindo sozinha, totalmente largada, apesar de ter família, precisei ser forte até meu último fio de cabelo e na época, exatamente como a Jojo eu não era ninguém e tive alguém financeiramente bem, bonito, era realmente muita areia pro meu caminhão, mas que se dane, pensei, nem que eu carregue balde por balde a areia era minha, ele me escolheu, ele sabia o que eu vivia, e ainda assim decidiu ficar comigo. Joguei pro alto tudo, a família dele era contra, eu não era "suficiente" para ele me diziam, ele "merecia" coisa melhor. Mas isso foi a nossa força, nos unimos mais, era um pelo outro, com pais narcisistas, juntos saímos de tudo isso, não foi nada fácil, mas já estávamos até o pescoço de lama, o que era dar um mergulho? Aqui no Brasil o número de órfãos de pais vivos é tanto quanto na Coreia, mas nosso instinto de sobrevivência nasce com a gente, você já sai da barriga da tua mãe sabendo que o mundo vai te socar até você aprender a ser gente, na marra. Então Jojo foi covarde, quando ela teve Sun Oh do lado dela, e tenho certeza, que ele iria ao fim do mundo por ela, mas ela escolheu se vitimizar. Vitimismo, a pior posição para um ser humano, vamos dizer que é ponto final da autoestima.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
O dorama mais odiado pela dramaland, e com razão!!
Tinha tudo para ser bom, mas não foi bem executado. A ideia em si é bem diferente de todos os doramas que vemos, temos questões de tecnologia, relações amorosas e saúde mental, mas por algum motivo tudo deu errado. A história é bem "madura", pelo fato de que temos conflitos reais e personagens que erram e não são perfeitos, mas parece que a ideia original foi jogada fora e no último momento mudaram toda a trajetória do dorama. Nem consegui ver a segunda temporada de tanto desgosto porque simplesmente fizeram uma história totalmente diferente do que eles mostram e desenvolvem na primeira. Me fez passar muita raiva principalmente pela protagonista ser tão confusa, e todos os outros personagens serem tão revoltados com tudo. Simplesmente não vale a pena gastar seu tempo assistindo uma atrocidade dessa.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
drama escolar
primeiro drama que assisti no início da pandemia. na época achei muito bom, diferente das séries ocidentais, mas agora com mais bagagem vejo que não era tão bom assim, relacionamento abusivo da parte dele, família tóxica e a JoJo sempre passiva sem conseguir se defender dos abusos que sofria. a ideia do aplicativo de namoro é bem legal, pena que nessa primeira parte não foi tão desenvolvida assim, só na segunda parte que algumas dúvidas foram respondidas. meu maior ranço é da prima da JoJo, que menina insuportável.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Bom, mas poderia ser bem melhor
Love Alarm é um drama com uma história diferente de outros dramas escolares, ele inclui um pouco de mistério em algumas partes da história, o que faz o espectador ficar com uma expectativa sobre Love Alarm, mas, assim como eu, a grande maioria se decepciona.Como já havia dito, ele tem uma história realmente boa e diferenciada, mas, não é muito bem desenvolvida na história, outro ponto que não gostei foi que os personagens não evoluem, não amadurecem entre uma temporada e outra, eles seguem imaturos, e por isso que a grande maioria do público não gosta do final do drama, por ele não ter desenvolvido bem os personagens e a história.
Mesmo assim, Love Alarm não é um drama péssimo como muitos falam, ele fala de várias coisas importantes, como a história por trás de cada personagem, principalmente a Kim Jojo.

COMO QUE ESSA ATROCIDADE TEM NOTA 7???
sério, eu entendo que love alarm foi criado pra nos questionarmos sobre o quão vazio andam hoje em dia relações, seja com amigos, familiares, namorados/as, noivos/as, e assim vai. porém, a construção é extremamente.... nada agradável....só de pensar que esse dorama teve uma segunda temporada já que eles tinham que resolver tramas como a do sunho x jojo e a do hyeyoung x jojo, nada contra os atores, a atuação foi ótima até porém a quimica que NUNCA FOI DESENVOLVIDA CORRETAMENTE ENTRE HYEYOUNG E JOJO. juro, que casal sem química nenhuma e sem relação nenhuma.
a jojo é uma personagem confusa, não de misteriosa e tals mas sim que ela não sabe o que faz, ela só quis ficar com o hyeyoung pras pira dela la sendo que não há NENHUMA relação entre eles. pra ser sincera ela tinha que ficar um pouco sozinha já que ela poderia pensar mais se ela realmente gostava do hyeyoung ou do sunho pq acredito que o sunho foi mal desenvolvido pra ficar com a prota.
só isso msm, pq não é possivel que isso tenha uma nota maior do que 6

Fora que a atuação da Kim So Hyun é impecável. Acompanho ela praticamente desde que comecei nos k-dramas, e ainda amo como ela se encaixa em todos os personagens que performa.

I've never watched a drama where I didn't like any of the characters but Love Alarm managed to accomplish that.The entire cast is full of characters that just isn't realist and there will be many times where you will ask, "Why?"
The main female protagonist, Kim Jojo, is one of the most idiotic characters I've ever met. She follows a guy down the alley just because he "has something to say." If this was the real world, she'd have been raped right then and there. She makes poor choices (when you watch it you'll understand which ones) and she never gives a clear explanation as to why she did it. The drama never explains why Jojo decides to go down this route and why she isn't fixing it. The drama plays it off and later on shows that she actually regrets it. Now, I understand why she regrets it and that she wants to undo it, but I don't understand why she isn't even trying to FIX it. She can easily explain her situation and I'm pretty sure everyone will believe her, but she doesn't even attempt it. There are so many plotholes and so many questions that the drama doesn't bother to explain or answer. Maybe because they left it all for season 2 but at the moment it's not released yet so the director cannot expect us to just accept it as it is.
One of the characters I hate more than Jojo is Sun Oh. The drama plays him off as romantic and cool, but he's actually really creepy. His character is childish and selfish and thinks the world revolves around him. Not once did he stop and think about how his best friend or anyone else around him except for the girl.
*SPOILER BELOW*
Hye Young makes it pretty clear that he like Kim Jojo. Although he never outright told Sun oh that he likes Jojo, Sun Oh already knows at this point. And you know what Sun Oh does when he finds out his best friend like this girl?
HE CHASES AFTER HER.
THIS BOI. What is going on in his head? "Hmmm. my best friend, who has always been there for me and supports me, likes this girl and she is his first crush. I should encourage him and let him have the chance to confess first because, after all, he liked her first. But, you know what, because I'm just the shelfish jerk I am, I'll go out there are whisk Jojo away and kiss her right after my best friend tells me he likes her. Brilliant!"
And you know what Hye Young does? NOTHING. FOOKING NOTHING. OMFG. And both of them made a pact and told each other to confess to Jojo at the same time. This way, it's fair to both of them.
BUT NO. N O.
FUCKING SUN OH, LIKE THE BITCH HE IS, DECIDES, "HEY, NOT ONLY DID I KISSMY BEST FRIEND'S CRUSH, I'LL ALSO CONFESS TO HER FIRST EVEN THOUGH I JUST PROMISED HIM WE'LL DO IT TOGETHER."
BITCH WHERE.
BITCH WHO.
I'M PISSED FOR HYE YOUNG.
And after Sun Oh and Jojo breaks up, Sun Oh doesn't let Hye Young go after Jojo. Like bro, it's his life. Just because you broke up with her doesn't mean he has to obey your every command.
And why does Hye Young still like Jojo? Dude, she rejected you like 10 times. Give up.
AND OMIGOD, DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON FUCKING GUL MI.
SHE'S EVEN MORE SELFISH THAN SUN OH.
How is it Jojo's fault that her parents tried to kill her? Why in the world did Gul Mi come to the conclusion that it's Jojo's fault that her parents are broke? And why doesn't Jojo just fight back? Maybe it's because she doesn't want to get kicked out, but still. She should've spoken up about it.
And she thinks that everyone else is beneath her when she herself hasn't gone anywhere in life. She didn't just screw up her life and her cousin's, she also bullies a guy into committing suicide.
You would think at this point she would feel bad, but no. She continues and takes out three million won from Jojo.
And another thing, why is everyone saying Jojo is such a pretty name? No, please stop. Jojo is an anime and forever will be an anime to me.
So, in conclusion, this drama is just plain stupid and frustrating. I could barely finish an episode without getting mad at a character. I wouldn't recommend this drama unless you really like getting frustrated.

An “ Alarm” Ahead For Terrible Screenwriting ...
Screenwriters Lee Ah Yeon and Seo Bo Ra evidently adapted this from the webtoon for their eponymous contemporary drama “ Love Alarm” centralising upon the same premise of high school student Jo Jo ( Kim So Hyun) and her love triangle with “popular student ” Hwang Sun Oh ( Song Kang) and his “ kind-hearted best friend” Lee Hye Yeong ( Jung Ga Ram), in a world determining love through one app.
By default, this drama should be a masterpiece; its source material and premise are fairly creative and original, the characters are intrinsically interesting and it has a top-notch cast as well. However, “ Love Alarm”’s biggest inconsistencies can be pinpointed to two focal areas; characterisation ( or the lack of it) and the lingering problems which arise through the existence of the alarm itself.
Perhaps the biggest elephant in the room to tackle is our main heroine Jo Jo. It is made pretty evident that Jo Jo actually has a lot of intriguing qualities as our main character; her circumstances growing up have been difficult, she’s struggled with trauma and she’s never been “ overly exposed” to the love alarm ( like the viewer) in the same way her fellow peers have .
Yet whilst Jo Jo has all the right qualities of being a relatable and well-written main character, her actual personality traits make her seem a fairly hollow “ Mary Sue”, rather than an actual flawed human being. She’s deemed as “ pretty, smart and popular” by her peers yet the two latter classifications were fairly flawed in terms of who Jo Jo is supposed to be as a character. Jo Jo being “ popular” isn’t an immediately ridiculous trope with the considered factors of her “ attractive” appearance and being book smart, but let’s be honest in considering that Jo Jo lives in a society still determined by trends as a form of social hierarchy .Even in an alternate society, this seemingly manifests to the idea of the app “ Love Alarm”, something Jo Jo prominently does not have. Whilst this in itself is of course not something Jo Jo would realistically be written out as suddenly “ not being popular” , it would still remain obvious even amongst Jo Jo’s social crowds that she isn’t up to date on certain trends and styles, something which was neither realistically raised or shown critically in the show at all.
Additionally, Despite Jo Jo’s seeming intelligence and her circumstances leading to at least some street smart personality traits , Jo Jo is a shockingly dim-witted character within putting herself in danger or helping to create numerous misunderstandings throughout the show. Of course this was supposed to intensify the “ drama” and make Jo Jo’s feelings more heightened for the two male leads, however, it seemed even if Jo Jo was more “ naive” of her actions than anything else, cruelly ignorant to lead on both Sun Oh and Hye Yeong, two individuals who clearly hold feelings for her, than create the amount of ridiculous dilemmas as she did in the drama. Whilst the drama wanted us to feel evident pity for Jo Jo in the season one finale, it was hard to truly feel attachment towards a character who had little to really offer in the first place.
Naturally this moves us onto the problems of our two main leads Sun Oh and Hye Yeong. Arguably, Sun Oh does have some more noticeable character traits than Jo Jo in the beginning of the series; he’s rich, and similarly popular , but acts out in his often “ stoic” manner because of his own inner psychological turmoil surrounding lacking parental love.
This in itself should have been something which drew Sun Oh and Jo Jo upon their similarities ; Jo Jo may not have parents whilst Sun Oh does, but they both lack that intrinsic parental love which most of their peers have had and thus struggle to find love in the same way. Yet as much as Sun Oh did have some interesting character qualities, he wasn’t given the chance to either grow or mature with his relationship with Jo Jo at all over the course of the series. In fact, Sun Oh is strikingly quite a selfish and fractious character who neither seems to actually reflect or learn from any of his mistakes even going as emotionally gaslight his best friend and
ruin his relationship with both Jo Jo and Hye Yeong rather than actually mature as an individual .
Arguably Hye-Yeong did have more likeable qualities out of Sun Oh as a love interest and Jo Jo as a main character; he often comes off as complacent, but at least this is actually made prominent as one of his flaws, which he learns to mature upon with his pursuit of Jo Jo - the girl he harbours a crush upon without the need of the app. On the other hand, what is undeniably annoying about Hye-Yeong as a character, is that he is often a little too forceful upon Jo Jo when she made her feelings evident at times in the show, and ironically too staid rather than sticking up for himself when Sun Oh began to emotionally gaslight him. Whilst Hye-Yeong had all the right qualities of being possibly one of the few well-written characters in the show, he often felt too irregular as a character; jumping from sudden growth to reversal in two seconds flat.
As for the rest of the characters of the show, Love Alarm is a halcyon for your typical minor trope characters, yet perhaps one minor character who arguably had many intriguing characteristics was “ outcast” Cheon Duk Goo( Lee Jae Eung). Duk Goo plays an undeniable major role within the events of the series and realistically has a lot of inevitable flaws including his own lack of self-confidence. Nevertheless, it was berating even with the app, exactly what Duk Goo, possibly one of the few decent characters of the show, saw in Gul Mi ( Go Min Si); Jo Jo’s “ popular” and selfish cousin. Perhaps it is entirely wrong to attack Gul Mi per say as being entirely “ horrible” as she did have some noticeable problems from being spoilt by her mother, as well as pressurised due to her popularity to “ fit in” with her classmates and Duk Goo’s involvement as her “alarm” entirely threatened this from her point of view. On the other hand, it was still fairly hard to see Duk Goo learn from his mistakes as well as Gul Mi actually maturing from being a selfish schoolgirl , in addition to fundamental questions about how the app actually works .
These dilemmas include; how such an app would be legalised or not face backlash ( protests or negativity) openly, if the app can or has made “ errors” or faced glitches over more than one love alarm per person , why the presumed “app developer” hadn’t been approached by greater technology firms wishing to invest or purchase the app’s rights, as well as of course more upon the “ love alarm” for same-sex couples. Although the show briefly mentioned about the public shame of the love alarm in this scenario, it felt a little sugarcoated not to explain or develop into characters who have faced this. Finally, there’s the most evidential problem of how this app actually works.
The ideology of the app is undeniably artistic licensing; we’re not really supposed to “ understand” the actual methods of the app and we can presume certain theories towards how this actually functions. Nevertheless, there were several lingering questions which were naturally raised about the app’s existence in Love Alarm throughout the series.
So, this leaves us on the most obvious question. Is Love Alarm actually worth watching? Love Alarm undeniably has an intriguing story premise, high production value and a top-notch cast. On the other hand, Love Alarm is simply its own worst enemy when it comes to avoiding falling into tropes, badly-written characters and plot inconsistencies. With a second season on the horizon, it’s wrong to entirely draw out that the story won’t smooth over some of these issues, and there are certainly some interesting ideas going forwards. It’s probably fair to say that Love Alarm isn’t a “ dire” show and certainly something to watch if you’re fan of “ cute, romantic and fluffy” dramas. On the other hand, this show is a waste of time if you’re looking for actual investment in well-written main leads, a sensical storyline and realistic and deep critiques which should have been raised in a show tackling such ideas of technology intermingled with relationships .

I have a major bone to pick with this drama.The idea for this drama was eye-catching. An app that tells who who's in love with you if they're in a 10m radius? Sounds kind of sci-fi and would definitely be interesting in a high school setting. I'm a sucker for high school dramas so I thought this would be something new to try. Boy I could NOT have been more wrong...
First of all, the motives for Sunoh's actions were creepy; Jojo should NOT have followed him into an alley, and literally WHAT was up with him going to kiss her IMMEDIATELY after he realized Hyeyeong, his best friend, was in love with her?? Can you have a heart?? I understand you were raised differently and don't know how to act in those kinds of situations but god damn, LAY OFF. Sunoh acted like a baby throwing a tantrum through this whole show, it was downright IRRITATING.
Jojo was only mildly more bearable, but I didn't understand why Sunoh fell in love with her in the first place: there was nothing inherently special about her character because her entire character was based around her trauma; there was no other traits about her that were played up. Imagine only liking someone for their tragic backstory. I know she was like "oh I'm trying to be cheerful despite all that's happened" bitch WHERE you look MISERABLE ALL THE TIME. I became increasingly tired of her towards the end when it's very apparent she could have solved all of her problems just by telling Sunoh and Hyeyoung about the shield. I know there's going to be a season 2, but many of these issues could have already been solved if she had just come clean about her feelings in the first place, saving both her and Sunoh a world of pain.
Hyeyoung... this poor boy was really just trying his best but god damn... grow a backbone PLEASE. You KNOW you have a shitty best friend but you are not obligated to stand by him all the time because you are your own person with your own opinions and feelings. When we finally got that at the end when he was being honest with Jojo, it was like [gordan ramsay meme but it says"finally some good fucking CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT"]. Honest to god, FUCK JEONG SUN OH. It was more than right for him to leave the guy after standing by him even after he went after the girl he clearly loved. The moment he left that robot behind was the only fucking good character development.
Also a moment of silence for Hyeyoung's mom. She ain't dead, we just appreciate her for being a nice and kind mom.
Other than that, the casting was good despite the acting being sub par. Overall, would not give this drama another look. This is eight hours of my life I will not get back, but I guess it was good to see Jojo and Hyeyoung grow towards the end.
