Alarme do Amor 2 (2021)

SERIOUSLY???

I have been waiting for Season 2 and all I get was that??
Honestly, I didn't really felt like finishing Season 1. At first, I was like, what in the world is this? The plot is a little bit cliche but the content of the story isn't. It took me about 5 attempts to finally move on from Episode 2 of Season 1 but as the story progressed, I became invested in the episode. I sincerely loved it! The ending left me hanging and so as disappointed as I was for not being able to move on to the next episode, because -- really, I learned to love Jojo and Sun-Oh, and Hye-Yong. I loved where the plot was heading and towards the end of Episode 8 I was reallllly invested and could not wait for Sun-Oh to get back with JOJO but what the heck??

Season 2 was sooo dry and the storyline was so bland. If the director, writer, or whoever f*up the story, wanted it to be different they could have just made at least a tiny bit of justice to Sun-Oh and Jojo's romance!!

I think I can understand what the writer is trying to say about the story.

The shield, the complete switch of love interests but the heck to this!!
I'm outraged. 😡😡😡

We hopped to kdrama's because we want to separate ourselves from the reality and feel all giddy and just forget about how unfair life can be most of the time.

No matter how cliche things are, my heart will never get enough of scenes like Season 1. Forget Season 2!! I will never watch it again!

DISSAPOINTMENT

Hiii, I have never really written reviews but after watching Love Alarm S2 I really feel the need to.
For the acting the potrayal of emotions were top-notch, but the storyline really made me feel uneasy.
It is not about the fact that she ended up with Hye-yeong, but the fact that she DID NOT EVEN HAVE GENUINE FEELINGS FOR HIM FOR ALMOST THE WHOLE SHOW.
When I watched S1, tbh I was still not very happy with Jojo's character, but I still did connect with her at some point, but S2 was just not it, it was almost like playing with two guys. If she loved Sun-Oh she should have been with him or not anyone else, staying with Hye-Yeong just made it worse.
It was very cowardly of her to run away from the one she loves not once but TWICE.
They really need to do Sun-Oh some REAL justice as he was a genuine guy who knew who wanted and loved Jojo without any conditions and not toxic or rude.
We all knew that the one he really loved was Jojo, they might have showed that he ended up with his ex, but its not that easy to suddenly get over someone you really love.
But the show did show each of their happy endings, but its just me who is not satisfied with it.
No hate towards the cast, they did a terrific job!!

Honestly would have gotten a 0 if it weren't for this.

I am not surprised at how this turned out. I actually marked it in my "Not Interested" list because I didn't enjoy the first season at all but then got pressured to watch it anyways.


Firstly, the story was very questionable. It feels the screenwriters decided to pave the way for a new story without more character development. I get that season 1 had most of the character development, but if you want to re-use the character development from season 1, you have to stay consistent with your plot in season 2. At this point, it just felt like they were trying to appease the general public with the way they set season 2 because we all know who Jojo really liked. If you didn't watch season 1, you would know that the public was rooting for HyeYoung (me included). However the thing that comes with second leads is that they are sometimes better off without winning the girl's heart (e.g. My First First Love 1 and 2 being the exact epitome of this series). If they stuck with Sun-Oh, then this drama might have had more popularity. Now, public opinion is basically this: "You can't just change the first season's male lead into the second lead in the second season." Also, one thing thing that was probably the film maker's worst fail was spacing season 1 and season 2 too far apart. It may be just because of COVID delays, but by the time I watched season 2 (which I binged on March 14 2021) I already forgot all of the character's names and who they were except Guk Do and Gul Mi.

As for the cast and characters, it wasn't half-bad. Let's just say I was very confused at Kim So Hyun's acting. I couldn't get the emotions she was trying to convey. It might be because I had the first season imprinted into my brain, though. Song Kang's acting was actually quite good this time. I could feel the emotion behind his character, though I still think SunOh the character was too crazy and abusive with the Jojo situation. As for the whole "Brian Chun" situation, I just felt like that was uncessecaryy. **As what my title probably click-baited you to read, the only thing that saved this was Sun-Oh and Yuk Joo's relationship. I fell WAY too hard for Yuk-joo. She was just such a pure and innocent soul. She's the only character that made my heart act up.

Overall, I would NOT RECCOMEND.

In need of Season 3

I can't help but write a review for this.
Waited for almost a year and this is the ending I received?

Firstly, I expected that Season 1's ending will link to Season 2's starting, from the presentation part. Unfortunately, no one knows what happened after that scene. Season 2 jumped straight to Jojo and Hyeyoung being together? I am so confused.... I was really still hoping that there will be a chance for Sunoh and Jojo to get back together :(

I feel that Jojo is really selfish in her decisions. Getting together with Hyeyoung (Sunoh's used to be best friend) when Sunoh was still upset over the fact that Jojo did not ring his alarm in Season 1. The fact that she used a shield to hide her feelings. If the shield did not exist, they will probably still be in love. Sunoh still rings her alarm... and if Hyeyoung did not persist to chase after her, Jojo will probably still ring Sunoh's alarm. Sun oh really loves Jojo though...... :( Did Jojo choose Hyeyoung because Yuk-Jo was with Sun oh?

Yuk-Jo...she is just too in love with Sun oh that she doesn't even care whether if Sunoh likes him back. and the drama ended with Sun oh wanting Yuk-Jo back? I think Sunoh is just too comfortable with Yukjo...poor girl, she should find someone better.

Hyeyoung should find someone better too...

Overall, I am so disappointed with this ending. I will still prefer Season 1 over 2 of course.... Can we have a Season 3 where Jojo broke up with Hyeyoung because she finally knows her real feelings (using Duk gu's in-progress application of the lie detector) towards Sun oh? :) Since Jojo installed the Shield to hide her real feelings towards Sun oh and she installed another to ring Hyeyoung's alarm on her own assumed feelings towards him. So probably Season 3 with an ending of Jojo and Sunoh, finally being able to get together? :DDDD or else, I am just gonna imagine it myself...

wtf jojo?

y'all this girl JoJo is the most selfish person on god. Sun Oh is another story for another day, but at least I can understand some things from his point of view. But Jojo? She makes so many choices that has left me confused and at times, violent.

I'm sure those who are watching S2 has already seen S1, so imagine this: You're finally in a relationship with the girl that you love. Things are going great, you both feel the same way. Then one day out of nowhere, she suddenly breaks up with you. No explanation whatsoever. Her feelings suddenly changes. Well that's Sun Oh's story.

All he deserved was a goddamn explanation that JoJo couldn't even provide. And even down to the very last moment, she was still selfish to the core and even used a spear to ring Hyeyoung's love alarm...wtf? Haven't you already went this route and learn that this is not the way to go? And she also didn't even have any plans to correct her ways until someone actually got in her face and told her she's being selfish. Sun Oh had to find out about the shield himself and Hyeyoung had to overhear it himself about the spear. Only until then did she take any actions.

And she only really did anything because she know she's about to lose Hyeyoung, and her last conversation with Sun Oh still left me feeling ill cause it's obvious she didn't give a single fuck about Sun Oh and only said what she said so she can go on her way and make up with Hyeyoung. After her "bye" she just yeeted. Like imagine waiting 4 years for that. And I also don't get it why she didn't just simply explain the shield situation to Hyeyoung. He would've understood her. This girl seems to have a knack for making shit 10x more complicated than it should be.

What I found amusing was her initial reaction to finding out Dukgu is dead. Instead of actually sympathizing, the first thing that pops up in her head is "I'm never going to be able to remove the shield." Like hello?!!! People are dying, Jojo!

Let's also not forget that she kissed Sun Oh when she was in a relationship and then kissed him again when she was in a different relationship. We love cheaters. So all in all, idk what Hyeyoung and Sun Oh ever saw in her.

Disappointed in the story

I normally do not write reviews for any dramas. But i was very disappointed with the second season. Jojo never took sunho feelings into consideration at all not one bit made no sense as to why she couldn't like him again when she told him that she would never love anyone as much as she loved him. I dunno how the second lead deserved her more didn't make any sense. Like they didn't really explain as to why she had to put the shield to begin with just cause she didn't want to get hurt but how did sunho hurt her in any way.

Either way I wouldn't rewatch this drama. Very dissatisfied

Regret of watching S2

Seriously, it's a rare when I was writing is review... I haven't watch the trailer and just watched the whole of season 2. I thought Jojo would ended up with Sun Oh because the chemistry was no joke, better than when she was with hye yeoung... JJ and SO looked natural together but when with HY, felt like being forced, it lack of chemistry. The story should not ended up like this. Duk Gu character development is somehow quite lack of something but Gul Mi is worthy to watch in this season but she can be develop more actually..

For those who are fan of Jojo and Sun Oh, better drop this season and just imagine the best ending of your own with Jojo and Sun Oh happily find their love back.

Watched this just bc I waited so long

I don't like dropping dramas, so that's why I watched this. I read MANY bad reviews and I'm adding this one to the list. The drama was well-performed, the cast was amazing, but damn the story was bland. I don't want to spoil it all, but you probably have better dramas in your to-watch list :'))

Also so many random things? Things left unexplained, evens out of the blue, as if they really did their best to fill 6 episodes? This all could've been conduced in a short 5 minutes episode tbh.

Season 1 was way better, season 2 more mature but not what I expected...

disappointment

I'm going to be very honest so if you really like this season then you might get offended. The whole season felt really forced. It's basically about making Sunoh the villian even though he was hurt the most by being left crying on the streets atleast 2 times by our lovely jojo. In season one I liked jojo because she was actually smart and even though she put that shield on I still somehow understood but during this season I just hated her more and more. Like I get that she went through a horrible trauma but that isn't an excuse to every mistake she's done. I personally don't see a chemistry between jojo and Hyeyeong it just feels forced. As expected Hyeyeong got hurt a lot too. She was bacially hurting them both at the same time and the drama was trying to make Sunoh the reason for her problems. The one character I liked the most was Gulmi. She has a great character and during the season I was always so excited to see her on screen away from the love triangle. Back to Sunoh..they did him dirty not only by the story line but also by the screen time. He was just sad or crying every time he was on the screen. Oh and his happy ending was not it. But I really did like the acting even though it didn't make sense. The OST is really nice too but other then that the whole season was just weird.

If you want the Jojo and Sunoh happy ending or you can't handle a heart break atleast 2 times in a row then don't bother watching it.

WHAT THE F*$K WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE, I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAITED TWO YEARS FOR THIS!

"If you can't be with the one you love, be with the one that is nice to you." That is basically what S2 of Love Alarm was about. I have no idea what everyone else is talking about, but Jojo should not have been in a romantic relationship of any kind until she unpacked the trauma she endured from her parents suicide and from the mistreatment of her aunt and cousin. The drama didn't even pick up where it left off for one, for two Jojo broke up with Sunho because she felt she was cursed, so why did she enter a relationship with Hye-Yeong?

Also, this whole "Jojo liked Hye-Yeong all along", is complete nonsense because she didn't even know he existed until she started dating Sunho nor that he had feelings for her until the very end of S1. Also this whole, "Hye-Yeong has loved and been there for Jojo all along", UM NO HE LITERALLY WASN'T SUNHO WAS, HYE-YEONG WAS A COWARD WHO DIDN'T EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS AND THEN WHEN HE DID, IT WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS BESTFRIEND, IT WAS UNDERHANDED AND DIRTY! He knew how much Sunho loved Jojo, Sunho asked him repeatedly if he had feelings for her, and Hyeong DENIED IT EACH AND EVERY TIME! He's the worst kind of friend! AND IT IS FITTING BECAUSE HYE- YEONG LOOKS LIKE THE WEASEL THAT HE IS!

But I digress, moving on... Three, Duk-Ju and his partnership with the CEO/ Face of the company was not properly explained nor did it make sense why Love Alarm would not comply with the police in order to catch a literal serial killer.

Four, speaking of serial killers, the homicide/ group suicides were not discussed enough, actually it was barely discussed at all. Neither was Jojo's parents suicide/ homicide attempt. Five, the chemistry between Jojo and Hye-Yeong is still giving brother/ sister/ bestie vibes, not lover vibes, those "I love yous" sounded more like "I care for you", which is sweet but it's very different. And if she's over Sunho then why is she still so emotional over him every time she sees him? If it's really her choice not to love him then why still rely on the APP still? Both Jojo and Hye-Yeong relied on the APP to tell them their feelings just as much as Sunho did, yet Sunho is the only one that was honest about it.

Six, Duk-Ju and Jojo's heinous cousin, that story line also made no sense and neither did the sudden dynamic flip between Jojo's aunt and cousin. Seven, I don't understand why Jojo still lived with them when it's clear, she could have afforded her own space and how she claimed that she wouldn't run anymore yet, she was still running away from her problems and chose the safe choice which is Hye-Yeong, who she again, should not have been with in the first place (romantically), if she felt she was so undeserving and cursed.

So it's ok to potentially kill or ruin Hye-Yeong's life but not Sunho? Doesn't that kind of drill in the fact of who she actually loves and wants to be with but is just to cowardly to be with? I think it does. Eight and final point. S2 was a complete, nonsensical waste of time. Truthfully, all Jojo did was settle which made Sunho settle and to me that is far worse, dragging two innocent people into toxicity because you're too cowardly to fight for the life you want with the one you truly love.

Love Alarm S2 was a complete joke. I sincerely hope this is some type of dumb alternative ending or a dream sequence and that it gets renewed for a S3. Even if she does end up again with Hye-Yeong in the end, make it make sense. Make it be endearing and not like Hye-Yeong is some afterthought, second choice, safe choice, stand in and the same goes for Sunho's rebound. Because both deserve better than that. This season was heinous, I heard the webtoon ended the same, which for some reason upsets me even more. - Dassit.

Fat load of shit dumped on Fans feeling

Keeping the story aside, Let's talk about their marketing method! From the starting of season 1 they used up sunho and jojo in almost every promotional video, trailer and teasers! hye young didn't get much screen time in any one them! but suddenly in season 2 they shifted focus towards hye young! like what the hell! were the makers duping fans or what! Love Alarm was the most popular web drama internationally and it was a Scam! it was only famous cause of the chemistry between Sunho and Jojo! and what? jojo ends up with hye young with no explanation of why he deserves her more! what about sunho? he kind of got played but who cares! according to writers he got a *HAPPY ENDING*.You call this shit a happy ending? Had they been neutral between both lead actors from the start,this kind of ending wouldn't have been that bad and viewers wouldn't have reacted so harshly! but all they did was just change the lead out of no where. they should stop saying that "it's based on webtoon" and change it to "straight away copy-pasted from a webtoon" . Utterly Disappointed with this drama! had been waiting for it since a year. Worst K-Drama Ever! Dont bother to watch it people as you will get confused more than jojo gets confused about who she loves!
