Alarme do Amor 2 (2021)

( • ө • )♡ I loved it. The final Couple was my Favourite (´∩｡• ᵕ •｡∩`) ♡.

I love all the leads to be honest, and I often found that HJ was always more mature than both JJ and SO, He just never knew how to be as honest about his feeling like SO. SO is such an interesting character in general, because he was always so honest about how he felt abut JJ and HY, so it was heart breaking to see his his pain in season 1. ( • ө • )♡

Season 2 was so much better than season 1 as it kept me utterly hooked, and the growth each and every character including JJ's cousin and Aunt, had was beautiful. Season 2 also showed the major wounds both HY and So had due to their families and it was so beautifully portrayed. I almost cried when I found out the reason why HY always smiled in the mirror.
Now lets talk about the secondary plot lines. T be honest, they were not all that interesting, I barely even remember anything to do with JJ's friend. Also, the creepy stalker's story was just plain weird. However my favourite side story was that showing the cousins growth, because I think the writer kept her full of flaws and didn't water down her personality like they do to many feisty female characters in dramas. She grew enough to understand JJ and not bully her, while also caring about her mom's life as well, which was sweet.

Back to the Main couple. I was very happy with the ending as both characters helped each other grow and was their for support, and at the end I can't say anyone was lonely. My favourite side character was definitely Duk gu, he is genuinely such a sweet heart and I also loved Gul Mi too . ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ

Not THAT bad

The bad reviews about this drama is about, and ONLY about, the endgame of it. I just know it. People are mad the girl didn’t end up with the guy they expected her to do...

We need to talk about it. Seeing the comments in this section, it just feels like Hyeyeong is a bad villain or did something so horrible that he didn’t deserve her, actually he deserves her the most (in my opinion). I’m obviously team Hyeyeong & I’m really satisfied with the ending, we need to realize how the writer did a revolution for this drama, letting the female lead not ending up with the first male lead is not easy & the proof of it are the bad reviews this season is getting.

Love Alarm is a famous drama & when I knew that the second male lead got the girl, I was honestly shocked, I didn’t expect it to happen even if I hoped for it. I have major second male leads syndrome, I had it in a lot of dramas like True Beauty, Start Up or School 2015... I didn’t expect for the man I was rooting for to be the endgame in this drama, it was so obvious for me that Sunoh would get her.

Basically, I’m just saying that Jojo & Sunoh not ending together isn’t a big deal. They were dating in their highschool days but time passes, guys... We are not always sticking on our first love for life. Yes, our first love will always be memorable but first love doesn’t mean the last. The characters are happy now & it’s the essential thing, Jojo & Sunoh have to move on anyway.

Hyeyeong & Yukjo are good characters and I think that people should STOP being so dramatic over a SHOW & fictional characters.

Talking about dramatic people, some Sunoh stans should stop judging Hyeyeong’s character by the actor’s looks. They’re both really pretty & talented, please stop & grow up.

I wanted jojo and sun-oh to end together,waited for season 2 for more than a year and got this ending,its my first time writing a review for any drama,i love k-drama there were many dramas in which i was a bit sad when my favourite couple did not end together but this was the worst.The director took a year to make season 2 he should have known what everyone wanted.I hope that it would have ended without only season 1 at least we could have thought that jojo and sun-oh ended together,i should have not hoped a lot from season 2.In the end the happiest thing i watched during the show was yuk-jo and sun-oh.They were main lead for me

Very disappointed

I was waiting for this season after watching it’s first season which I really loved. But what did I get after waiting for almost 2 years. Disappointment ! I felt the chemistry between jojo and sunho since the beginning of the first season and because of this I was eagerly waited for second season to be aired. But makers really make me hit on wall with a question mark. Guys, what did you do with this garbage storyline, made love alarm from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the ocean. Please don’t watch season 2 if you don’t want to disappoint yourself and don’t want to waste your time.

Two wasted years of waiting. Thanks, worst webtoon ever!

Season 1 wasn’t like a masterpiece but I was drawn to it because of curiosity about Jojo and Suno’s star crossed relationship. Her reason for breaking up with him literally made no sense but whatever, she’s young...and season 2 shows me she’s still stupid lol

Whoever was the decision maker on this season must not have seen season 1 or doesn’t know how to make good television. I wouldn’t put this show on your resume.

What a waste of time. It’s like they look at the list of things that most people like and do the complete opposite, for fun(???). Safe yourself and DO NOT WATCH!!

Bad ending

The ending was. Atrocious it was horrible it was one of the worst endings I’ve ever seen I’d rather watch cheese in a trap over and over again till I die then we watch love alarm season two. I’d rather have to see some of the worst K dramas in history then re-watch love alarm season two because Love alarm season two ending was so bad I demand a new season a season where the ending becomes better or season we’re all everyone gets what they want. I was so excited to watch season two but left as soon as the first episode I wasted my hours waiting for days I mean stayed up for 10 horribly maybe for some people did it and horribly but for me and most of the fan I feel as though and horribly for all of us

Love Alarm as a whole lacks any development. This season, just continues with adults relying on an app to tell their feelings (DO BETTER). And the transition into the second season completely disregards what happened in the previous episode. That tension for it to never be recalled again. Tsk tsk.  

The acting was alright. Though this is not a show to show the potential of their good acting. The characters are so one dimensional, it's hard to root for them. I felt personality coming more out of my left toe than any of the characters combined.

This is the show that you want to shut your brain off too and watch your typical girl with no parents who is miraculously loved by a boy with daddy issues and a nice boy who's just trying his best.

EXCEPT THAT NICE BOY WINS HAHAHAYAH

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO HYEYOUNG MY MAN.

What a win. I'm taking that dub.

No smile at all

The thing that sucks the most in this drama is .....
IN SEASON 1 SUN OH SAYS JOJO IS PRETTY when jojo is taking about scenery
but in season 2 they used hye young to say that part . I mean how can they do that.....
and I still dont understand why the hell did jojo break up with sun oh....
and ost is good and only one out of all and you dont get to listen it until last episode....
and the drama is a bit forced and characters deserve more
and it would be nice if they stopped sad scenes of sun oh and used sun oh and uk ju[ or something i dont remember sun oh girlfriend's name]

Good concept, but disappointing overall.

I found the concept of the 'Love Alarm' to be quite interesting, yet the character personalities were so frustrating at times that I would just stop watching. Jo Jo (Kim So Hyun) is specially troublesome as the story revolves around her not knowing who is best, and viewer is stuck watching the same questionable decisions over and over. Sun Oh (Song Kang) is equally if not more frustrating as his character is a whining child who forces his presence upon people. The saving grace of this trio is Hye Young (Jung Ga Ram) who plays the 'good guy', and is the only main character that I can relate with. The story engulfs these three main characters, with the story rarely moving to the support characters, that I wish were focused on more.

For me the soundtrack makes or breaks whether I'll finish watching a drama. There are a couple of tracks that are quite good, but one especially continues to give me chills; good chills. 'In my little mind' by Hodge and its placement within scenes really sung true with me re-enforcing the characters emotions and trust within themselves. The other tracks include quirky background instrumentals and tranquil singles, pretty standard.

Would I recommend this to anyone? Probably not, it's not for everyone.
Would I watch this again? Probably not.
Would I listen to the soundtrack? Yes, there a few gems that I listen to now and again.

Love Alarm Season 2 - A Missed Opportunity

Love Alarm Season 2 had the potential to build on the intriguing concept introduced in the first season but ultimately falls short in delivering a compelling narrative. It's puzzling why there even is a second season, as it struggles to live up to the promise of its originality.

One of the most significant disappointments with this season is the plot, which feels bland and unoriginal. It often seems like the writers are attempting to take the story in an exciting direction, but they consistently fail to execute it effectively. The potential for a fresh and innovative take on modern romance is there, but the execution leaves much to be desired. Viewers are left wanting more substance and depth in the storyline.

Character development is another area where Love Alarm Season 2 falters. The characters remain disappointingly one-dimensional, and their motivations and personalities fail to evolve in a meaningful way. For a series that relies on its characters to drive the emotional core, this lack of depth is a letdown. Viewers find it challenging to empathize or connect with the characters when they are so underdeveloped.

The unrealistic nature of the drama is yet another flaw that hinders the overall viewing experience. While some suspension of disbelief is expected in any romantic drama, Love Alarm Season 2 often pushes the boundaries of plausibility. The technology behind the Love Alarm app, initially an exciting concept, becomes increasingly convoluted and hard to believe, detracting from the story's authenticity.

In conclusion, Love Alarm Season 2 is a missed opportunity that fails to capitalize on its initial potential. While the premise of the show is intriguing, the lackluster plot, underdeveloped characters, and an unrealistic narrative make it difficult to invest in the series. It's regrettable that a show with such a unique concept falls short in delivering a compelling and immersive storyline. Viewers looking for a well-crafted romantic drama may want to consider other options.

A story that had so much potential but was wasted due to poor writing

I stole Sun-Oh’s smile away from him.. just so I wouldn't feel any pain - Jojo

The above quote pretty much sums up my feelings and the show as a whole. The cinematography is not good at all compared to Season 1 and the plot is just a worse version of the love triangle that was developed in Season 1. We got no proper closure or anywhere near a good apology or explanation. We had the wrong ship sail. Don't even get me started on her use of the spear. So cowardly and something only Jojo would do. That one scene between Jojo and Brian in Episode 5 summed up everything about Jojo.

You used the shield to prevent Sun-Oh's Love Alarm from ringing and you used the spear to ring Hye Young's Love Alarm. You lie for your convenience. - Brian

No truer words have ever been said in this show. Well maybe that Gulmi quote, but that's neither here nor there.

Nothing went right this season. Not even the side stories. After the SunJo ship failed to sail we should've spent less time on the love triangle and spent the time to actually develop the romance between HyeJo and YukOh. The ending felt super unsatisfying just due to very minimal development in the two relationships. We didn't even get to see Jojo's full journey on her path of reconciling with the past and healing. We got to see the end result in the final half of Episode 6 but it just isn't as emotional as it could have been. The same thing goes for the very last scene showing us viewers the times when Jojo rang Hye Young's Love Alarm unconsciously. It just didn't hold that much weight due to the relationship feeling forced from lack of development. But I've got to give credit where credit is due as those scenes were beautiful. Just doesn't hold too much weight as they could've held if we had good writing.

Going back to the point on the development of the relationships. This is one reason I wished we had the normal 8 episodes. To delve more into the relationships so that scenes stated earlier could hold more weight. I mean come on, YukOh was pretty damn cute not gonna lie. That final scene between the two of them was so heartbreaking and wholesome. I just want Sun Oh to be happy and Yuk Jo as well. I've grown to love this ship more after the writers decided to completely ruin my SunJo ship. Lastly, for my final remarks on this show, we really did need more scenes dedicated to the building of HyeJo for it to have anywhere near as much meaning, weight, or satisfaction that SunJo had.

Oh yeah, one more thing I would like to add that I just came to realize. Remember how in Start-Up the writers made Do San explicitly say that he has changed instead of actually showing it on screen? Yeah, that same exact thing happened here. When you force a character to say something that you can't convince the audience through said character's actions you know you are doing something. I want to actually see Jojo fall for Hye Young through their interactions and I want to see development. I don't want to hear not only her but Love Alarm through Duk Gu to tell me that it was her own volition to choose Hye Young.

While on the argument between choosing what your heart tells you and what a program tells you, I am glad that Netflix found a way to insert it into this drama with the right answer to the argument. What I'm mad about though was the execution in which the argument was inserted. One it was done super late into the final episode and two there are a lot more nuances to the argument than Netflix lets on. Yes, it may have been her own true volition, but behind every volition, there is a motive. We may never know what her motive was behind choosing Hye Young (outside of what the writers tell us through dialogue) so can we really make the case that she followed her heart? Not really. She may have done because she truly did love Hye Young or maybe she was just continuing to run away from her feelings.

Overall just not worth my time and left a bad taste in my mouth. Still can't believe we waited 2 years for this mess. Sigh.

To end this review, let me sign off with one of the truest quotes ever said by a side character that I hated for most of the show.

Jojo doesn’t do anything, but she has two guys taking turns ringing her Love Alarm here and then - Gulmi
