Alarme do Amor 2 (2021)

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...

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.

Thoughtless

This is by far the worst Korean drama I've ever watched. What were they doing like i mean i was struggling to complete an episode. I was so appalled by that JJ character s1 was okay but s2 gosh i wish i had not watched. Ive wasted my precious time to watch this worst drama .They were throwing stuffs here and there Kim JoJo is by far the worst and hye yeong being so pathetic. Sun oh was just shedding tears always for a girl that left him for no apparent reason and was okay with ''bye'' and decides to try and move on. Wft everything was rushed and ending was also rushed jezzzzzzz i think I'll get sleepless nights for watching this nightmare of a drama.......

I'll not recommend for any Korean drama lover

It was just frustrating

This was an utter disappointed from beginning to end. We have waited for two years to receive a second season and this is what they came up with?

The story could have gone into such a nice direction since I believe the idea of "love alarm" was original and had potential. However, they did not make use of it enough, in my opinion. They could have driven the story further by removing the shield from KJJ and her having to face her feelings. The main plot they had was, like in every drama, no communication. If everybody would have just talked to each other, all issues would have been resolved. Even in the end it was disappointing that she never explained HSO why she installed the shield and why she broke up with him. We only get an "I'm sorry" and that is it. We get no closure because a lot of things are left unsaid. Not to forget that the story takes place over a couple of years and not a single character has changed. They all remain the same and stick to not talking it out with each other. That was very frustrating.

As already mentioned, I fairly enjoyed the first season and that is why I was excited to see the second one. Already at the beginning I was confused since we never really get to see the outcome of the ending of the first season. Additionally, I do not know why they focused on KJJ and HSO so much in the first season, only to let her be with LHY in the end. Personally, I did not really feel the chemistry between KJJ and LHY at all. The scenes of them together in the second season did not feel genuine and I only waited for things to go wrong. I would have wanted more interaction between KJJ and HSO but HSO was basically irrelevant in the second season. The only thing that he did was harass KJJ, scream at her and stalk her. (I still do not know why people romanticise these things...)

Other storylines were completely useless since it did not do anything for the plot. The story of HSO's family did not really change HSO or his actions. Further, the story of PGM and CDG was disappointing. All in all, I did not enjoy the side stories.

In conclusion, I think the second season had a great base with the first 8 episodes but they did not realise its full potential. It is a long, slow-pace story which only frustrates you. I do not know if they had issues with filming because of the pandemic or something else but the second season seemed rushed and not thought-through.

Lastly, some scenes were filmed in a weird way. I do not know why some scenes were filmed in that particular way. For example, when HSO talks to YJ after he drives her home we never see their faces. It was supposed to be an emotional scene but it was only filmed from afar. (?) Also sometimes half the screen was covered with furniture or a wall but then did not have a nice transition to the next scene. (?) I think one time they tried to immitate a famous scene when they used a mirror to film LHY but I believe that was the only thing they focused on regarding filming.

In my opinion, just watch the first season and leave this one out. It is better to have an open ending in season 1 than going through the painful process of watching season 2 and being frustrated in the end.

We got fooled people

I can't believe that I really watched this awful drama, no offense to anybody who worked for it but it didn't do any justice to the first season. Throughout the first season we got to see how much Jojo and Sun Oh love each other even if years have passed but in the second season the writers decided that no she didn't love him but she loved the Hye Young who had no self respect in the name of love. I felt that she pittied him the whole time and he didn't really loved her. They told us that she didn't really love Sun Oh when every time they were together you could see little hearts flying around them. Even if the love part, which is literally on the title but anyways, wasn't good they could reward us with doing a better job on the crime part but no we got a disappointment from there too.
The cast was good but it seemed that even they didn't feel the script. Everything else wasn't even average, but that may be slightly off because I am pissed with the script.
So that's not going on my rewatch list sorry.

Not what i expected

'Love alarm' season 2 was not what I expected. It was not as good as the first season. I personally liked season 1 better in terms of the story. I actually have mixed feelings abou this drama. I would personally not watch this drama again. As someone else commented, it felt forced. Jojo didn't even conider Sunoh's feelings which is very sad and disappointing.

“I stole Sunoh’s smile away from him.. just so I wouldn't feel any pain.” -Jojo

I actually cried almost every episode, but it was probably because I was very emotional lol.

Continue reading if you want to know who Jojo ended up with.
I really wanted Sun Ho and Jojo and upp together, but they didn't. I cried when she told Sunho that she liked his bestfriend. I mean, I waited for almost two years for nothing, literally. I feel really bad for Sunoh and I kind of knew that she would end up with Hye Young, but I still had my hopes. In webtoon, Jojo ended up with Hye Young, but I thought the drama would be different like what they did with "True beauty". Even though everyone got a happy ending, me as a team Sunho wished that they would end up together.

The positive thing was the cast. Both actors and actresses did a very good job, even though it's not their fault for how it ended.

But at least, Jojo and Hye Young got a happy ending...

Remember this is just my opinions!

No. Just no.

I do not usually write reviews but I must for this one. After watching Love alarm 2 years ago, love alarm 2 had always been my MOST awaited drama but I can’t believe the fact that now that I finally watched it, it was so trashy. (MY OPINION)
Characters:
Jojo: Omg I absolutely hated the fact that she was SO insensitive and inconsiderate towards Sun Oh’s feelings and what pissed me more was the fact that this ma'am just won’t give Sun Oh answers that he CLEARLY DESERVED. And the worst- she blamed HIM for the shield SHE installed, HERSELF.
Sun Oh: One of my favourite characters was Sun Oh’s character. He had crazy stage presence and when he cried, I cried too. Song Kang did an excellent job portraying Sun Oh. One thing I disliked about him was that even tho he knew himself that he was not over jojo, he kept leading on his girlfriend and gave her false hope.
Hyeyeong: I personally don’t hate him but nor do I like him. He was so inconsiderate towards Sun Oh. When sun oh expressed his feelings to his bestfriend, this man decides to just leave. Every time Sun Oh tried to initiate an actual conversation with him, he just decided to leave. But of course, JGR did a good job acting as HY.
Sun Oh’s “girlfriend”: I didn’t really notice her character. She didn’t have as much presence so she was unnoticeable to me.


Conclusion: I hated the plot. I hated the storyline. I hated everything about this season. I hated how they gave hope to sun oh and jojo’s relationship in season 1 and just ended it in season 2. And the worst part is that they did give hope to their relationship in season 2 but ended it again. Keeping in mind sun oh’s feelings, it was pretty shitty. But then I do love the cast including KSH, SK and JGR!

Annyeong (Goodbye) Sun-Oh

If you are a fan of sun oh and jojo don't watch since you will be heartbroken.
First season is so bad that it's incomplete., no closure to all the mystery , trauma and everything. everybody is waiting for the 2nd season and when i watch it. lol! it's just a waste of time. Jojo not being true to her feelings as if she just push herself to Hye-Young. no healing to all the trauma experiences of the character except for Cheon Duk Goo.
after watching it, instead of feeling good, i feel PAIN. lol! WORST story so far. in fairness with the actor and actress they did good.

Just wasted 6 hours of my life for nothing

I do not reccomend this drama at all, and can’t believe i waited 2 years just to get this and even no Sunoh endgame, don’t get me wrong i was really excited at first but after literally watching just the first episode I hated it and had to literally force myself to watch the rest of the season and it actually felt like an punishment. The actors were ofc talented as always, but the story and how the drama ended were absolute trash, sorry not sorry. Such a waste of potential this could’ve been a really good drama with potential but they just threw all the potential out of the window??

Team Sun-oh ??

Disappointed with season 2...hated it..story became pathetic n unrealistic...Miss that chemistry between jojo n Sun-oh...😭😭
Team Sun-oh always..❤️
So for me this became best to worst k drama I ever seen.... it's not cz of second lead...I don't feel any connection in between jojo n hyong..if he was the main lead why the hell they didn't give any storyline in season 1...why they played with fans emotions. Almost 80% fans wanted Sun-oh n jojo to be endgame.They wasted 2 yrs to make this crap ...They didn't give us proper explaination why jojo break up with Sun-oh at first place dude...wth ...if they want to break the stereotype about second lead...do it with proper way...we love Sun-oh so much...but director didn't bother about fans reviews..they just blindly follow webtoon...n it became crap dude..right now m angry, frustrated,sad, disappointed cz of thai series
