Alarme do Amor 2 (2021)

Regretting this

I want to rate 0 but I think that's too extreme. Thus I settle for 1. I was anticipating this for 2 years only to see sun oh getting hurt over and over again. I'm disappointed. Super unhappy with the ending. I'm dropping this. Just gonna pretend this series never exist.

Some might be happy with the ending but not me. I hate this series so bad now, I regret liking the first one. I can't believe I wait for 2 years for nothing. I don't understand why do I even bother watching this series in the first place. Sun oh and jojo chemistry is too good, but this 2nd season destroys it. They should just end the series at that cliffhanger in the first season. Its wayyy better than this. I don't recommend you watching this second season. In fact, if you have not start watching the first season, don't even bother watching it. The ending is so bad. With all my heart, I hate it. Thank you.

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.

I found no continuity in history, I feel like I was watching different dramas

I wait 2 years for this and I really feel that I waste my time, I feel I watched two different dramas.

I was team Sun Oh but watching the drama from a more objective and mature point, I still being unsatisfied.

I think they left a lot of things unfinished like what happened in the update event?
I would have liked to see that Jugko thought when she saw Sun Oh makes sound Jojo's alarm and also I would like to see how Jojo and Hye Yeong start dating.
I don't understand why Dukgu faked his death and it was also unclear to me who was leading the Antilove Alarm movement or what happened to it...

Honestly I feel disappointed, I don't like it and I also think it was really boring.

In the whole drama I saw Jojo running and hiding, she never explain to Sun Oh why she broke up with him and she also can't be honest with Hye Yeong, first the shield and then the spear, both ways to hide and lie.
I felt that the relationship between Jojo and Hye Yeong was forced, I suppose by the fact that I didn't know how it was that she decided to start a relationship with he.

For Sun Oh and Yukjo they both had a very unfair ending, Yukjo deserved someone who really loved her and not someone who only stayed with her because the person he really loves didn't choose him.
Why he would love her overnight if even in four years he didn't do it?

I would have liked to see that Sun Oh will really outperform Jojo, that he will manage to heal his wounds, perhaps fix his problems at home, really fall in love, etc.
For this season his appearances were minimal and in all I saw him suffering.

I only would like to see Jojo being honest and brave, I don't know why people say that she grows in this season because I think she still being very inmature.

I know that the ending is attached to the webtoon but if it were to, I would have preferred that from the beginning they would do it that way. in the first season Sun Oh has so much prominence that even there are those who did not even know Hye Yeong's name and only placed him as "Sun Oh's friend" not really like a main character.

I have nothing against Hye Yeong but I honestly had very high expectations and I expected much more from this season, I also feel that Hye Yeong deserves more.

Love Alarm 2 felt so rushed.

First of all, what happened in the final scene of the first season? We will never know!
With that being said, i can resume Love Alarm 2 in one word: rushed. The end was understandable, they did a good job showing why Jojo choosed Hyeyoung over Sunoh, and because of that i didn't get more frustrated.
But talking about Sunoh, it really makes me sad the fact that Jojo never gave him a proper explanation of why she installed the shield - even when he asked for an explanation - Jojo's reasons were never explained to him and i have the feel that in this case it'll be so hard for him to get over his feelings for Jojo. On other hand, Hyeyoung was a really nice character but they failed to show him as a interesting person... if you look back he don't have any other interest, it's just Kim Jojo, i thought that with the whole situation of his father Hyeyoung would show a more interesting side of himself... but no!
The scene of Jojo and Sunoh letting each other go was the most beautiful and memorable to me, it gives a big feeling of nostalgia and made me realize that in real life not every first love stay together forever...
For me, the script was really poor taking into account the character were adults and not teenagers anymore. Some things would be more acceptable if the dialogues were better.
I think things in this season could have been better. It was bittersweet ending.

terribly executed

terrible. 0/10. giving it a six in my rating list just because sun oh wouldn’t want me to rate him lower than that and i love him too much. anything else: hated it.
the lights? what the fuck was up with that, director-nim.
the plotholes? smol boy comes wandering around after five years of minding his own business and instead of giving solutions he creates more problems. also where did he come from. where did he go. did he create the spear for the giggles, because that was the most useless tool i've ever seen.
the male main character? most boring, flat acting i've ever seen. at least you can actually tell apart emotions with sun oh.
kim flipping jojo? yeas dear go ahead and realize you've been a terrible main character and then proceed to do NOTHING to fix that. talk about character development there. poorly executed if you ask me.
this was a drama about choices; let me tell you, those were the most boring and terrible choices i've ever seen. breaking the boy's heart for nothing? bad choice. using the shild? bad choice. not contacting CDG to get your shield removed and instead using the dumb spear tool? terrible choice.
the reasons behind the whole thing were also ridiculous. "oh yeah you disappeared from his potentials when you kissed sun oh bc you were in lOvE with hye young." what shitty explanation is that. at least make it believable.
all in all i'm going to pretend like this whole show did not happen. wasted two years of my life waiting for it only to find out i hate it, after all.

Disappointment

After waiting almost 2 years, I expected the story to continue on that cliffhanger. Okay, they didn’t. Not a big deal because we’ll probably get some flashbacks showing how they got to where they are right? Nope. We get thrust into this relationship between Jojo and Hyeyoung, and it’s not that I don’t like the pairing, it’s just never fully explained why she won’t go back to Sunoh even though she clearly loves him. Even their break up in season 1 was fine because we knew that she loved him enough to eventually choose him. I get the point that it’s to show that she has a choice. I’m always like, they always go for the jerk that mistreats them why not the nice guy. I think this story would have made more sense if from the beginning it showed that she had that passion for Hyeyoung. Instead, we get 6 episodes where it seems she’s trying to force herself to fall in love. I dunno, coulda been better written.

Not worth my time

I was excited for this drama since the first season came out, but after watching it felt like a waste of time. If you shipped JoJo and Sunoh you shouldn’t watch it...
The acting and cast was good, but the storyline was not like most people expected or wanted. Most people wanted JoJo to end up with Sunoh, so why in the world did they choose to do the exact opposite?
It honestly didn’t even feel like they continued from season 1, but made a new drama with the same people... I feel like I just wasted six hours of my life that I could spend to watch a different k-drama that didn’t disappoint me

Love is a choice, not just hormones

I know some people were disappointed in the endgame of this drama. Most of them wanted a Jojo x SunOh reconciliation. But from season 1, I've always felt that being with SunOh was toxic to Jojo and Hyeyeong or even her original boyfriend will be a better match for her.

This is not really a spoiler because it all happened in S1 but you may skip this paragraph because I'm about to rant. What people don't seem to realize was that in S1, SunOh only approached Jojo because he wants to show Hyeyeong that he can get the girl his best friend was crushing on. He's a childish man who had almost everything handed to him in a platter. His mom is an actress, his dad a politician, a supposedly 'perfect' family. His only complaint is his mother does not love him. He looked to Hyeyeong to fill his need for affection. He can never support Jojo emotionally because he's so damaged and wants to keep affirming people's love for him. He was at first jealous of Jojo because she took Hyeyeong's attention from him. He was just testing how much Hyeyeong was willing to give up for him. Then he started an almost stalker behavior. If it was an average looking man, what he did would be scary not sweet. And he kissed her knowing she has a boyfriend? This guy's moral compass was very wrong. To top it off, he somehow made her feel pitiful when he paid for her lunch money and he made her a target of hate but was not able to protect her from his 'fans'. And he was so obsessively clingy, first to Hyeyeong then to Jojo. Okay, maybe Jojo was wrong by installing the shield but what ticks me is that he didn't even support her anymore once she stopped ringing his love alarm, he just felt sorry for himself.

Some people can't seem to find a reason why SunOh and Jojo broke up but it's very simple. Being with SunOh in HS only made her feel small. His fans kept saying she should just die. She felt unworthy to be alive all over again. Yes, he kept ringing her alarm, a telltale sign he still loves/wants her, but he never ever became someone she really needed, someone she can rely on to stand by her no matter what, someone who really respects her and her boundaries. What's funny is that in HS, SunOh kept saying it's Jojo's choice who will be with her and she is not a thing but became angry when the choice wasn't him.

So I think you can guess that I never really rooted for SunOh despite liking their cutesy dates and fluffy kisses. I liked the boyfriend better because even after they broke up, he still cared about Jojo. Hyeyeong was the best match for Jojo because he was emotionally stable and he doesn't even have the 'perfect' life. He has a 'criminal's son' tag for goodness sakes. But he was just always there for her when she needed him. Even when Jojo disappeared from people who might love him, he still rang her alarm 10 times.

Unlike with SunOh, Hyeyeong and Jojo's love may not be instant attraction from both sides. But it is a love that's built on respect and support, a love you want to keep. I really like what Jojo said to SunOh when he found out about the shield "You made me install the shield but Hyeyeong made me want to remove it". It was Hyeyeong who made her feel worthy of being alive.

Some says that it was not fair that SunOh settled for Yukjoo, but for me she was exactly what he needed. Someone who will constantly give him affection.

I couldn't give a perfect rating because I didn't like the other characters. I really couldn't relate to Gulmi, her mom, Brian and DukGu. They felt like plot devices, their characters were not really fleshed out. If it was only about the love triangle arc, I would have rated this 10/10. The underlying theme is love is a choice, choose to live, choose to love.

Completely pointless season

I have hundreds of complaints about this season but I don't have the energy to go into detail about everything so I just want to say it was so pointless to make this season if all the 4 leads would end up with their original relationships. Jojo and Hyeyeong had no romantic chemistry whatsoever, she always looked guilty around him and like she was with him just because he liked her and she didn't want to be lonely, other than actually loving him. It made no sense that she didn't stop Sunoh from kissing her if apparently she rang HY's alarm multiple times before that. The whole shield and spear was so stupid, annoyingly pointless and made no sense at all. The closure they gave Sunoh was so dumb too but at least he ended up with someone who actually loves him dearly and made him smile and try to become a better person. But still, he smiled only like 3 or 4 times through the whole show... Everything was so ridiculous, this season was literally unnecessary. The only storyline that actually mattered and was more interesting than whatever went on with the leads was Gulmi, I'm only not giving it 1 star because of her, but even her character can only make it go up as 2 stars.

It is not what you were waiting for.

Um well, I don’t have many good things to say about this show, I wasn’t really mad about who Jojo picked, I was more pissed about how they showed it. I was going into season 2 expecting a lot obviously because season 1 was great. But then when the trailer came out it felt different. I don’t know the vibe and how the characters were portrayed also the plot none of it felt proper. It was 6 episodes I don’t think that was enough for this show or even the plot. I hate how Jojo never had to explain one thing to anyone, she would just walk around and hurt both of them. In the end, Hye-Yeong getting her was obvious but why did she pick him. The plot, in general, was missing something and in the end, Sun-oh’s character was completely told off basically he had no part in it in the end. There was no development to him or to any of them in general. In the end, Jojo played them both and sometimes it felt that she was just going with Hye-Yeong because she felt bad. I wished the writers would have put a little bit more effort into why, WHY SHE WAS DOING EVERYTHING. AND THEN SUN-OH they tried to give him this PITY HAPPY ENDING, but in the end, his feelings weren’t resolved. I feel like I wasted 2 years waiting for this show and I only got Jojo explaining nothing to Sun-oh. AND THEN THE PLOT WITH THE MURDERER HUH WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT, IT WAS 6 EPISODES AND SOME OF IR JUST FELT USELESS. I am going, to be honest, and say that I just watched this for Sun-oh and every time this poor boy was hurt. I fucking cried with him, this show did nothing for him. I don’t recommend it if you are expecting it to be like season 1. I will give credit to the scene of this show the OST wasn’t the best but the scenes and camera angles made up for it yk.

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!!
