is this season even in anyway connected to s1?
speechless at just how bad S2 was. The story did absolutely NOTHING to convince me jojo was in love with hye yeong. Are we supposed to just forget everything that happened in S1 with sunoh ?? On top of that it was totally boring. They could have leaned more into the crime storylines or the slight dystopian future element of love alarm, instead it was 6 episodes of jojo saying no words and people staring at each other. . I am so so disappointed because s1 was one of my fave dramas. what a load of tosh. Even if it ended with jojo and sun oh together,I would still have to stay it was boring.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Messy but pretty to look at
Aesthetically this was different from the first season for sure, but it was still pretty to look at despite the different style, and the sketches were reminiscent of It's Okay to Not Be Okay.The story was a real mess though, in terms of romance, the traumatic backstory, and the social commentary. It just felt like there was zero continuity with the first season. They completely dropped the ball on Jojo's backstory when it was such a big part of her trauma and decision-making.
Big questions around Love Alarm were about the role of technology in modern romance, privacy, the pressure of being perfect on social media, imposter syndrome, etc. and I had been really excited for it to delve deeper into a society so reliant on it, but they never really did. A lot of characters and plots weren't explained well and everything just felt all over the place.
Instead, the drama focused so much on a love triangle that wasn't really there to begin with, starting this season. The characters had little to no character development and were kind of brushed to the side, with a sprinkle of backstory here or there.

An Unwanted Sequel
233rd Review of Love Alarm 2 tells a lot about how this show has impacted many, mostly disappointment. Lot has been said already; here are my two thoughts.One, What could have be completed in just two more episodes of season 1 had been dragged out for about 2 years (Even my tastes of kdrama has changed.) and 6 episode (really?) . That's what many kdramas do, adding a time jump and voila, a decent closure. But no, Love alarm, the very un-kdrama-ish kdrama, somehow tries something new: season format. And the result is obvious.
Two, if it weren't for Cheon Duk Goo, I would have totally abandoned this. CDG's closure was a mediocre but it was probably the only decent thing season 2 could offer. As for others, even 5 years time jump doesn't seem to mature these characters. They are still stuck in their sorrows of their own making. But somehow a couple of events make them grow up. Nah, I couldn't buy that.

My cuppa tea
I love it when Kdrama gets rational (aside from the super-advanced technology) and not just emotional. Guess there's a reason why they have it in 2 seasons - to which I like both. Didn't expect to see that much character developments in such short episodes so I was pleasantly surprised. It's probably the ending that I want and the ending that actually makes sense - though some might actually dislike this. I just finished all 6 episodes in one sitting and I'm about to sacrifice sleep and rewatch it to pick up on the details I'm missing.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Quite unnecessary
What bothered me about this season wasn't that she ended up with the second lead, but that there was so many unnecessary parts to this season.There was a murderer for some reason that was used as a vehicle to let Jojo come to terms with her past and her true feelings for Hye-yeong. However, I believe she could have figured it out with there being a murderer inspired by her drawings.
Sun-oh's endgame relationship was not needed as it seemed like they just wanted him to end up with somebody so the viewers would be satisfied but it was rushed and awkward.
The inclusion of Hye-yeong's father being in prison was also unnecessary and didn't add anything to the plot whatsoever.
Overall the only reason for the second season was to find out who Jojo decides was the best option for her which would not have been enough for a whole season so they added in whatever they wanted

Messy but enjoyable.
In all honesty, the first season was definitely much better than this season. Season 2 was annoyingly full of wallowing, and miscommunication. Everything would've been sorted IF THEY JUST TALKED. Nothing was being said, Jojo was still indecisive and confused, and couldn't get a word out without being interrupted. smh nothing has really changed for her since the first season.I don't really get what warrants this drama to receive its excessively low ratings - perhaps people didn't like the fact that Son-Oh didn't get the girl? I'm glad he didn't. I read a lot of reviews before writing mine, and seems like i'm in the minority in liking who she ended up with. It was REALLY evident who she loved from the very beginning. We can see how JJ looked at Hye young, the way she missed him and the way she always thought of him whenever anything happened etc- THE SIGNS WERE ALL THERE. Seeing Jojo come to realisation with this was quite satisfying and godamn was I really happy. HY is a total angel from beginning till end.
Ok now Sun Oh, I can't be the only one that found him slightly annoying right? People saying Jojo played with his feelings and strung him along. No, not really imo, she broke up with him 4 years ago. He latched onto this girl for 4 years, demanding an explanation at every chance he would get, whilst stringing ANOTHER girl along. like COME ONNN. I admit he deserved an explanation, (again, lack of communication) but being pushy and rude for 4 years, just coz you're bitter you didn't get jojo?? Poor boy was crying and wallowing for jojo for 4 years straight until the last 10 mins where he's suddenly ok - lol the writers did him dirty.
i know many people really wanted SO to end up with JJ, but i don't think that should be the reason why this season is so disliked. I admit, it was slow at times and really annoying but the maturity in this season was refreshing and realistic. All characters had their flaws- but that's life. You won't always be sure of what you want, feelings change, you get confused and sometimes you need reassurance- AND THAT'S OK. you live and you learn. You learn to trust yourself.
ps. what's actually messy is this review lol
pps. i'm glad the love alarm app doesn't exist in real life.

"It was not that I didn't love you, you were just to heavy"
I've never been this happy with a sequel or a series-ending in my entire k-drama life, it was perfect and they finished all of the stories beautifully! 10/10They perfectly satesfied every stories ending, Kim Jojo's past, all of the final relationships (even the losing loveintrest's one). I can not immagine a better ending or a better conclustion to this story! Cried multiple times!
I love how she faces her past alone, without the need of a man guiding her, but that she can still have support when she herself got to get over and face her past.
I finished the entire series on the day which it was released, and do not regret a thing, might rewatch asap.

Utterly disappointing
I was so excited to watch the second season but this is just sad.The kdrama fan in me died upon watching this.
On one unique perspective, it does have a different storyline and she chose the first season's second lead. All the guy's effort were worth it and he won the girl. It's an unlikely happy ending for the female lead and this season's male lead.
But why do I feel so empty, so unsatisfied? Like all of the excitement, I have were flushed through the toilet.
Poor Hwang Sun Oh. He was just pushed aside.

What a let down!
You’re obviously here because of that terrible cliffhanger a while ago. (To me, it felt that the first season ended quite abruptly, I honestly thought the producers gave up and that should have been my clue for season 2.)Anyway, you will watch it no matter what I tell you.
But fair warning:
Little or no character development, with a few exceptions. The majority of these young people have no assertion, as if they have given up on life and depend on the love alarm - unless that’s the morale of the story.
Spineless and eternally pain enduring characters which is a non sensical approach, given that all of them fight for their education/work/peace of mind and do quite well no matter the background they grew up in…. It makes everyone quite unrelatable in that sense.
Then, the choices some characters make are more realistic in the end (but NOT at all coherent with their character).
Personally, I did not want to emerge in reality by watching this drama, rather than escape it. So make of that what you will.
4/10
