Alarme do Amor 2 (2021)

Foi uma porcaria

O desenvolvimento da história na primeira temporada foi bom até, sendo que, a segunda temporada chegou e acabou com tudo. Primeiramente, muitos buracos na história por exemplo: Oque a família da Jojo devia a sua tia ? E oque eles fizeram para ela os odiarem tanto ? Outro exemplo : Oque aconteceu com a última cena da segunda temporada? Não contou oque aconteceu. Já na trama senti que a porta se obrigou a gostar do menino da bicicleta, já que ela jogou a lança nele pelo app apenas para se sentir confortável na situação. Problematizaram o Sunoh botando ele como se fosse uma pessoa tóxica e mal amada e no final ele se sentiu meio que obrigado a terminar com a coadjuvante. Não sinto que é um drama bom, pois investiram bastante um casal ( Sunoh e Jojo ) para no final ela ficar com o menino que não tinha atitude é que não demonstrou o seus sentimentos por ela na primeira temporada. Enfim, essa temporada foi um surto coletivo. Para mim esse drama acabou no 4 episódio da primeira temporada antes do acidente da Jojo e do Sunoh. Se forem se iludir e passar raiva e ódio assistam é bom para isso pq pra amar n eh n.

O que mais me marcou

Lindo demais a lição no final, ela ter escolhido pelos próprios sentimentos, e não esperar pelo app. "E então pela primeira vez eu disse à ele que gostava dele" que frase marcante! Jojo decidiu isso, escolheu demonstrar seus sentimentos. Não foi o app q fez espontaneamente, mas sim ela. O escudo bloqueou o app dela de fazer o loveAlarm de quem ela gostava tocar, com a lança ela conseguiu ter essa liberdade de escolher demonstrar ou não seus sentimentos. Ela ter feito porque quis foi tudo, ela queria demonstrar o que sentia ao Hye❤. Ela ter se libertado de seu passado foi o melhor acontecimento. Hye um cara paciente, super compreensivo, se importava em como ela se sentiria, nota 10, Suno se reconciliando aos poucos com sua mãe, e dando oportunidade pra um novo amor foi muito lindo. Me prendeu demais essa história, AMEI👏❤

Uma segunda temporada diferente

Senti que essa temporada foi um tanto solta. Primeiro que não mostra o que realmente aconteceu após aquele último episódio da primeira temporada, segundo que senti falta de mostrarem mais o envolvimento dos personagens. O casal tinha um total de 0 química. A segunda temporada foi muito diferente, esperava que fosse um pouco mais adulta porque os personagens já são todos adultos. E sobre aquele cara do mundo ressoante? Achei desnecessário.

Sou team Sunoh e apesar do que fizeram nessa temporada, gostei do final que deram a ele. Ele finalmente está ao lado de alguém que gosta muito dele, e ele enfim vai seguir adiante e superar.

Kim jojo foi mais uma vez confusa, mais uma vez ela não entendia os próprios sentimentos e não foi sincera. Poderiam ter trabalhado mais no amadurecimento da Jojo, porém deixaram ela naquela personagem sem graça e chata.

Quanto ao Hyeyeong... Esse personagem mereceu o final que teve. Ele acaba ficando com a garota que ele tanto gostava e finalmente foi correspondido por ela. Gostei de terem mantido a amizade entre ele e o Sunoh.

Realmente uma porcaria ?

eu assisti a primeira temporada em dois dias, chorei horrores, amei a história, as interações, a série estava perfeita! quando vi que tinha segunda temporada fiquei logo ansiosa, mas MEU DEUS DO CEU o que fizeram com essa série devia ser crime!! essa segunda temporada não tem pé nem cabeça, a história ficou completamente insossa! chamar de porcaria ainda é ser gentil.
Eu realmente peguei ranço da prota, essa garota é muito burra 🤡
Não conheço uma pessoa que tenha achado boa, mas se você é uma dessas pessoas por favor reassiste pq não é possível.

O desenvolvimento mais lixo que eu já vi!!!

Primeiro de tudo: A HISTÓRIA É CHEIA DE BURACO.
A primeira temporada conseguiui prender um pouco a atenção do pobre telespectador, que infeliz, espera que a história se desenvolver com mais calma na segunda temporada. OK, esperamos por 2 anos (isso mesmo, 2 ANOS!) a nova temporada em busca de respostas de cenas e detalhes mal resolvidos, porém, em vão. Nunca soubemos porque a tia da Jojo não gostava dela e o que a mãe da Jojo devia à tia. Simplesmente abandonaram o barco em relação e desenvolver esse enredo.
Segundo: Os dois pretendentes eram um pior do que o outro. Mas vão falar "ah mas o Sunoh gostava de verdade dela, só tava com receio de correr atrás dela depois de tudo o que aconteceu, a mãe dele não apoiava os dois pipipipopopo" Mentira que se ele quisesse ele ia atrás dela sim (referências: Boys Over Flowers, Jardim de Meteoros). E o Hyeyeong é simplesmente sem sal nenhum. Não vou nem apelar pro quesito beleza porque sabemos que isso é pessoal, mas a personalidade dele é totalmente seca e ele não tem química nenhum com a Jojo. Tudo bem ser tímido, mas esse não era o caso.
Terceiro: que final horroroso foi esse???

I am upset about how Jojo never considered Sunoh's feelings.

First of all, let me say that I never really write reviews, but this time I got so baffled I had to.

The story evolved around 3 characters where one(Sunoh) got completely walked over because he wanted to get his happiness back, second(Jojo) stayed as messy as ever, not even bothering about how her actions would affect Sunoh. And third(Hyeyeong) got the girl just because he somehow became a certain option but we don't know why it was never made clear why Jojo couldn't choose Sunoh anymore when she swore that she'd never love anyone more than him. Yet she kept running away from him, not even trying to give him an explanation. She just pierced his heart with her words and left. I really wanted her to become more mature as the years passed, but she stayed as a victim and never came out of that state
And above all the "Love Alarm". The app remained in their daily lives even after everything.
If we think that this whole drama was about not trusting an app for choosing a loved one but our own hearts, then why did JJ go to such lengths to get the "spear"?! The application was not destroyed, nor ever used by main leads. They still relayed on the app and who rang whose alarm Although that couldn't be trusted. As Sunoh's mother said her husband still rings her alarm even tho he's cheating on her. Or we could think that this drama was about the pain of unfulfilled first love and moving on but they failed to deliver that message.

Furthermore, I knew SO & JJ had no chance(it kinda become more clear when teasers came out), I hoped they'd clear out their misunderstandings as grown-ups should. but oh boy.
I am upset about what they did to the characters and how they pushed Sunoh away. He had so much potential to emerge from a broken teen to an accomplished adult, to grow and learn self-love, but writers ruined his character. They destroyed him and then gave him a "happy ending" I'm sorry what?! he isn't even being himself around Yukjoo. He had to heal first and then get back with her. However, at least she treats him right, and really loves him so I hope she'll make him happier.
Jojo never returned the smile she stole from Sunoh. She made him cry and walked away after saying "I'm sorry" but never solving for what.

Despite being painful as hell, I really loved the last meeting scene of JJ & SO. That scene carried so much pain and nostalgia, their thoughts of what it could've been or what will never be. I wish she told him the truth behind everything right there, the entire dialogue they shared lacked honesty, and that meeting had to make them let go of each other. (mostly SO) but of course, the writers had to make Sunoh accept the confusion instead without any clarifications.

On the other hand, Gulmi had more character development than I expected, watching her chasing hearts was rather entertaining. even tho she was faking it she was learning to treat others better. (hopefully)
I don't know why nobody said anything about Dukgu, his appearance was rather short.

I must admit actors did a great job portraying their characters with what was given to them. The cinematography was wonderful, the scenes were shot beautifully, and the brightness was a bit off but it was still fine.

Edit: For those who think I disliked the ending because JJxHY was endgame let me tell you that it's not like that. Since I knew that would be the ending from a long time ago. My main concern was what they'd do to characters and how they'd end up developing them. what would happen to the love alarm & if they'd stopped using it?
JJ returning a smile to Sunoh didn't imply her dating him. All I meant was for her to give him any clue of what happened because at least he deserved it. The best she could do for a person that still makes her emotional was to give him proper answers, so he could move on. That would be a humane thing to do. (from my point of view obviously)
My (and the majority of comments) main complaint here is still the execution of characters and not giving them decent conclusions.
SO basically became the wasted character for the convenience of a writer to write the JJxHY arc, he was used as a plot device for the ending. he was portrayed as a pitiful person who tried to hold on to what made him happy in season one and in season 2 they still continued using him as just that.
the writers didn't even bother to give him proper closure at the end of the season, we see him still holding on to his feelings, but right before it ends he lets go. The writers were so bet on pulling that "it's all fine" card that they somehow thought that ending him up with someone he doesn't even love (for now) was a solid idea.

The only reason why I watched this till the end is Song Kang who is one of my fav actors. He keeps getting better and better, turning into a prominent actor. Can't wait to see his upcoming projects.
As for If I recommend this or not, watch it if you can deal with heartbreak. Season 2 has a whole different vibe from Season 1.

Felt like a different drama

From the first time i saw the trailer, I was scared that it would be too different from the first season. The whole feel of the drama felt forced, not just the storyline but also the shots and pacing. Because of the change of directors, the season felt like a whole different drama compared to the first. While the first season had more of this lighthearted, comic feel to it, this season had a more serious, adult vibe. At first, I thought this would be appropriate since this is where they mature but it lost some of the dramas charm. Even though the first had this lighthearted vibe, it didn't take away from the seriousness of situations. This season made the maturity and seriousness feel forced.

The setting are also all different than the previous season which made it further feel like youre watching a whole different drama. The school, the houses, the convience store. Like, they had to change the CU to a 7-Eleven. Even though it had 2 episodes less than the previos, the pacing made it feel longer. And the OSTs was forgettable, unlike the first.

Eventhough I dont agree with the ending, i didnt like that the relationships weren't developed that much and it made me not sympathize with Jojo unlike the previous season. The drama didn't solve Jojo's real problem: running away. From the very start, when things get hard, she runs. She said that she put on the sheild to "protect" Sunoh, at first sure, i can see that, but when Sunoh found out about it, "all she can think about was Hyeyoung". Like, girl, you gave this guy that was so in love with you, hell for 4 years, and now he knows about it, you can't even think about how you've hurt him. She didn't give Sunoh the proper apology that he deserves. She said she loved him, but she loved herself more, leading to both their suffering. And with all this, unresolved problems, she runs to Hyeyoung. It felt like just because he's Hyeyoung, she should end up with him.

With all this, I think the story and especially the direction the director chose in filming this season is really disappointing. I think even if the story turn out the same but had the same style, or even the same colour palette of the first season, I would have enjoyed it more because it would connect; but from the first episode, I already knew this wasn't the same drama I waited for. I felt like it wasted the 2 years I waited for this drama. It made me hate Jojo and made me feel bad for Hyeyoung and Sunoh. I'll just pretend this season never happened.

Disappointment

I would describe this show as a big disappointment; I did not have high expectations for this show. The bar was low, and somehow the show manages to go lower than that. As someone who watches a lot of Netflix shows, this is at the bottom of the list. Everything was flipped here; the way Netflix executed this show was horrible. In the first season, we all can agree that Sun Oh had a lot of screen time and Hye Young did not. However, here is the opposite I wouldn't even consider Sun Oh a main character when he had minimum screen time. I went from liking Jo Jo's character to hating her. The whole "spear" situation was just wrong. She goes from installing a shield to using the "spear" to ring Hye Young's love alarm.. and they want us to think that she is sincere and is a way to show Hye Young that she loves him? No, it was stupid and idiotic; why couldn't she be honest for once in her life. I was so happy when it came crumbling down when Hye Young found out. She deserves no one! They tried to make Sun Oh into a villain when we all know we all feel pity for him, at least give him a good ending him crying all the time is not going to give closure to his character. This was poorly developed and horrible written. The only reason why I kept watching it was for the developer's storyline and because Jo Jo's cousin, she was the only interesting character on the show besides the developer(s) and Hye young. Hye Young was a sweetheart, but he deserves better than Jo Jo. I want to say that I am neutral in the whole love triangle situation, but Netflix did a horrible job. First, they make a majority of the viewers in season one like Sun Oh, and with little information about Hye young, expected people to like his character be happy that Jo Jo ended up with him... NO. The ending was no better than season one's ending. Jo Jo was the villain in her own story; she created all the problems herself.

Okay. I'm being honest with you. I keep waiting this drama for almost a 2 years. I guess it's not only me right? I'm so excited whenever I heard that love alarm 2 will be air soonest! So I keep my self ready for another best drama. So I expected it will went well like yes it does, but idk if just for me.. but for me it's just OK, u know what I mean.

Let's focus on the quality. Idk if it just me or what? The lightings and the brightness is too much. It's so hard to watch because of the brightness unlike in season 1.

It feels like I watched a different drama. The whole vibes is too much different than the first one. I like the first one especially the sweetness touched of the whole drama is still in there ( romance between sunoh and jojo) but after watching the season 2 it feels like I am watching a different drama with more mature vibes. It's so serious and I can't even finish a episodes without skipping some parts.

I skipped most of parts and I almost drop this season 2 while watching a few minutes of episode. It's clearly most of people who waited this season 2 want jojo to be end up with sun oh because of their iressistible chemistry and the fact that sun oh don'y deserves to be hur like this. The trailer scammed us and build us a high hopes that she will end up with sun oh but in the end... I think they should end it up in season 1.

The bad rating really isn’t about the endgame

PROBABLY SPOILER ALERT!


I dont even know where to start. At first I felt sad we were getting only 6 ep, but I couldnt wait for it to end.
It was the most tiring, slow-paced, boring season ever. I have watched season 1 probably over 5 times. It was my first kdrama and that’s why I was so invested. For someone to wait for almost two years and checking every month to see if there was an update, this was a let down. The bad rating is not because of the endgame, trust me.

Let me just start by saying that the characters were all completely different (in a negative way). We knew none of them really. There was no character development. Sunoh was pretty much non-existent (like how can you give the most important character so little screentime while he was the one that made almost everyone watch and like this show). Jojo was the most toxic, indecisive FL I have ever seen. How can you still be like that at that age? She was only hurting everyone around her for no apparent reason. She had no characteristics and no evolvement. No goals, no dreams- nothing. She was never studying, never caring for her friend (seriously what was the purpose of putting her in the show?) or anyone around her. Yet she always felt like everyone around her was hurting her. Instead of wanting a boyfriend (I think her having 3 bfs in a kdrama is a record), she should’ve just let the brothers alone to avoid their friendship to break. She just toyed with them. They did Sunoh so dirty, both Jojo and Heyyoung.

Heyyoung grew up with him and let a girl come inbetween them. Yes, maybe he liked her first but that never means he should’ve had her from the beginning. He worked with her for years and she never, ever knew him, never cared for him. That says enough about him. He was a very passive person. When Sunoh wanted to communicate about where they went wrong as friends (because Sunoh really did care), he just had the audacity to completely disregard him and just walk away without saying anything. That was wayy worse than what Sunoh did to him (even though in s1 Sunoh was like “Jojo is not an object, let her choose”). They both broke the bro-code. Heyyoung was the most boring character ever. When characters are silent and shy, they usually have an inner quirky-ness. Heyyoung had nothing. I still dont know what Heyyoung was doing at his internship or what he wanted to become in life. Just like Jojo; no dreams, no goals- nothing. His only obsession in life was someone he loved for over four years without knowing a single thing about that person and having never really talked with her (seriously, what did he like about her again?!).

Sunoh on the other hand was the only normal character (plus Gul-mi, never thought I would say this). He was trying to communicate to understand what was going on and what happened. He wanted to give Jojo all his love when he never even had love from his closed ones. He was never a rich brat. I never understood why people thought he was a bad person. There was not one bad thing about him. He was always there for others without judging them. He never cared about his money or fame and even did good causes. He was not a toxic character nor was he the unhealthy factor in his relationship with Jojo. Even with Yukju he was straighforward and she knew everything about what he did and didn’t feel. Throughout the series I kept thinking of how Jojo did not deserve him and how Yukju was a sweet girl. I wish instead of making him go through so much pain, they should’ve just focused on his relationship with Yukju. I am sure more people would’ve liked the show then. The scenes with his parents were really confusing and the whole production felt rushed. In s1 everything looked more real and thought-out, now we didn’t even see one single worker of his mother next to her.

There was literally no plot, no plot development. Romance consisted of them just walking each other home and texting if they have eaten. They were so boring. Jojo was just a pathetic character and I don’t get how no one left her in her life without dying. Jojo and Heyyoung both lacked the skill of communication and communication is key. That was a major red flag. Also how she did the same FAULT again when using the spear for Heyyoung. Like you used the shield and regretted it and now you use the spear? No wonder he had left. I was glad he did to prove a point.

I never thought I would’ve said this but the only one I really liked in this show was Gul-Mi. Such a funny, insane but still sane girl she was. I was glad that Duk Gu hadn’t died and she got her karma.

Duk Gu was annoying to me about how Jojo would’ve rang Heyyoungs love alarm regardless. Because there was no reason for her to like Heyyoung. There was nothing that he had that Sunoh didn’t have. It was all about timing. She breaks up with Sunoh because of her past issues but four years later she still has those issues and no character development, yet suddenly gives Heyyoung a chance. Why? Why not Sunoh? Because suddenly Heyyoung came to the damsel in distress. She would’ve liked anyone at that point.

ALSO, where was the whole Anti-Love alarm group? Why put that in the drama in s1 only to never go back to it in s2? That would’ve made it more realistic and interesting. We all were waiting for that.

The saddest scene were I broke down was when Sunoh and Jojo met up for closure. It felt so forced and if it was just for SK and KSY they probably would’ve chosen JojoxSunoh. I felt like it was all about timing. It looked like a missed chance. Her saying that she would install the shield again if she went back was disrespecting Sunoh. She should’ve felt ashamed for causing him so much pain. I felt like Jojo would’ve liked anyone who came in front of her. If Sunoh would’ve stayed by her side regardless, I wonder what would’ve happened.

But to be honest, I am glad she ended up with Heyyoung. Both passive and no chemistry but Sunoh deserved better so I am glad. He is way too precious to end up with a toxic person like Jojo. There was also zero reason for him to like Jojo. She was not worth it. I am sure the actors all think the same way and I am happy Jung Ga Ram is serving in the military cause he won’t get all the backlash now.

Nobody should feel sorry. Netflix knew what they were doing. We all warned them for not putting out a half-assed season. The fact that they also took away our Sunoh moments and made them Heyyoungs (liking list etc) was so painful. The scenes were lacking and a lot of things were left out or rushed (where the hell is the love alarm 2.0 event scene?!). I won’t watch anything of this director and screenwriter again. I cannot believe how they passed this. Even my cat could write it better. There was not even one “wow” moment. I just feel pain for my wasted two years.

Did Love Alarm Season 2 Ring Another “ Alarm” Bell For Bad Story-writing?

With a nearly two year gap between season 1 and 2, an additional director Kim Jin Woo onboard, anticipation from drama fans about the fate of Jo Jo ( Kim So Hyun)’s love life, and high expectations about the overall production value , it may surprise a lot of reviewers scrolling through some of the top reviews, how many fans have scored the drama with adequate ratings. Some of these comments tend to argue along the same ineffable and biased notions that it was a “ bad ending” and “ not as good as season 1”, however, how does the story actually play out through an objective criticism in terms of characterisation, coherency and storyline in season 2?

“ Love Alarm Season 2” picks itself up during the initial time-skip of season 1, with previously “ high school” characters now ensuing careers or studies; Jo Jo is a university major, her current “ complicated ” boyfriend Lee Hye Young ( Jung Ga Ram) works as a technician at JoAlarm ( the development company for “ Love Alarm”) and former flame Hwang Sun Oh ( Song Kang) is becoming a famous national model and endorser for the app, however, Jo Jo has been hiding a secret about her app that allowed her to cut off the signal in order to inhibit her true feelings from Hye Young and Sun Oh . With the desire to reveal her feelings again, Jo Jo decides to pursue the mysterious Brian Cheon in order to unlock this feature.

Before addressing anything about the show, it is probably most prominent to point out the confusing chronology at times within the opening of season 2, by not initially “ leaving” off from the cliffhanger of season 1. Although it is understandable that a wide gap between seasons could have left viewers a little cloudy upon events and thus starting on a different storyline wasn’t “ too illogical”, it was a little head-scratching that screenwriters Lee Ah Yeon and Lee Na Jung didn’t attempt to even address or explain this suddenly “ different” storyline from season 1’s ending. This naturally left a massive hole within story development, not least for our main trio and their previously poorly-tackled characterisation from the past season.


Kim So Hyun wasn’t entirely “ unwatchable ” within her role as Jo Jo, but her performance did feel a little lacklustre due to general line deliverances. In terms of Jo Jo’s character development, there were a couple of more notable traits for Jo Jo than her season 1 counterpart , by actually acting out upon her emotions rather than remaining “ obliviously unaware” as well as a fairly traumatic backstory. On the other hand, Jo Jo still failed from breaking her initial mould as the “ prosaic heroine” of the series due to the same ridiculously staid personality traits imposed onto the character by screenwriters Lee Ah Yeon and Lee Na Jung.

The most evident example of this being Jo Jo’s “ complicated” feelings between Hye-Yeong and Sun Oh, which whilst evidently used to “ heighten” the tension of Jo Jo’s love life, still seemed fairly cruel by Jo Jo’s similar indecisiveness as the first season at times, by not forthright addressing her affections rather than leading on both male leads in such an immature manner . ( This is advocated by a later plot development which proves Jo Jo’s true nature.)

It is important to address this factor of immaturity, due to the evident age difference from different seasons often allowing a character to develop and mature as a consequence of their experiences. Instead, Jo Jo seemed to make the same mistakes as her past self by making ridiculously stupid decisions questioning how on earth she lived so long, let alone pass her exams to get into university. This is exemplified in an early scene of the series when she is working at the convenience store and hears a love alarm go off and her stalker’s uncomfortable actions towards her, Jo Jo’s first thought is to walk home by herself, talk to her stalker and then proceed to run away without thinking to call the police or at least her friend Mon Soon ( Bae Da Bin) in order to ensure the same thing doesn’t happen again. Whilst this scene was used to “ drive tension”, it did seem to gloss over the uglier possibility of what could have happened to Jo Jo as a consequence of her stupidity in reality as well as the more “ romanticised” tones of emotional and physical abuse appearing in the series.

This naturally draws us onto the biggest elephant in the room since season 1, the “continuously brooding” ( and “ preferred” love interest by many devoted fans of the series ) Sun Oh. Similar to his costar, Song Kang is a fairly good actor, however, his performance consisted mainly between stoic, constipated expressions and furious yelling for a major proportion of the series.

Arguably there were some better insights than season 1 into Sun Oh’s fairly estranged relationship with his mother Jung Mi Mi ( Song Sun Mi) and his unhappy family life, however, rather than screenwriters allowing this to gradually mature or allow Sun Oh to develop from his inferiority complex in season one, his personality is still written off as fractious, immature and egotistical within his portrayal in season 2 by often storming off, breaking things and hurting others in the procedure. In particular, this is seen through how Sun Oh interacts emotionlessly his “ girlfriend” Yook Jo ( Kim Shi Eun) and often manipulating her overt feelings towards him, as well as his interactions with Jo Jo.

With his unrequited love towards Jo Jo since high school becomes the main highlight of their “ possible pairing” for many fans and whilst it is understandable why Sun Oh felt anger or upset towards Jo Jo not replicating her feelings, it does not excuse some of his terrible actions towards our female lead. Sun Oh’s actions of publicly embarrassing Jo Jo in front or her classmates , kissing her without permission whilst she is respectfully dating Hye-Hyeong and then throwing another temper tantrum by flaring up in Hye Hyeong’s face without accepting or apologising for his mistakes , made him an incredibly difficult individual to truly romantically pair with Jo Jo by his lack of respect towards her feelings ( and his former best friend Hye Young).

This naturally draws us to the lovelorn Lee Hye Young, who viewers are made aware early on in the series that he is aware of Jo Jo’s ambiguous feelings towards him in their relationship , yet nevertheless does not force or implicate Jo Jo to give him an answer. Whilst Hye Young remained the most respectful towards Jo Jo as an individual and as a love interest, his obsequious beliefs that “ one day she will love me too” seemed a little questionable towards Hye-Young’s fairly hot pursuit of his own feelings towards Jo Jo in in season 1. Consequently, the introduced relationship between the two characters felt more “ obliged” in order to keep the “ storyline moving ”, than intricately complicated as it should have been with Jo Jo’s feelings. In addition to this, there still remained many unanswered questions towards how Hye-Young landed a job at the company as well as more realistic insight into his qualifications at work whilst presumably not in full-education.

Perhaps the one actual interesting element of the second season remained within the mysterious appearance of Brian Cheon ( Ki Do Hoon) who makes the characters ( most notably Jo Jo) wonder if he is actually their “ dead” classmate and seemingly former developer Duk Gu. Whilst this is an overarching storyline in parts of the episode, the ending result felt incredibly letdown and lacklustre by lacking development or screen time as well as wider development for second female lead Park Gul Mi( Go Min Si), rather than in favour of the heroine’s questionable romantic pairings.

As a consequence, the pacing of the show felt oddly imbalanced between moments of genuine interesting development, and dragging scenes of puppy dog eyes by Hye Young and Sun Oh towards Jo Jo from a distance creating many notable plot inconsistencies . The ending of the series was more a matter of opinion that particularly “ bad” or “ good”. Diehard fans who haven’t really acknowledged the direction of the plot, may feel disappointment, yet whilst still undeniably half-baked in comparison to the initial premise introduced in the show back in season 1, it was not an entirely “dire ending” for the show as well .

Ultimately, “ Love Alarm Season 2” did initiate more mature themes and backstories behind our characters, however, lacking character development, inconsistencies, a coherent and riveting plot line in a fictionalised reality and rushed development in parts, made the second season feel more like a surreal dream phase, than a coherent and complete finale for “ Love Alarm”.
