Uma segunda temporada diferente
Senti que essa temporada foi um tanto solta. Primeiro que não mostra o que realmente aconteceu após aquele último episódio da primeira temporada, segundo que senti falta de mostrarem mais o envolvimento dos personagens. O casal tinha um total de 0 química. A segunda temporada foi muito diferente, esperava que fosse um pouco mais adulta porque os personagens já são todos adultos. E sobre aquele cara do mundo ressoante? Achei desnecessário.Sou team Sunoh e apesar do que fizeram nessa temporada, gostei do final que deram a ele. Ele finalmente está ao lado de alguém que gosta muito dele, e ele enfim vai seguir adiante e superar.
Kim jojo foi mais uma vez confusa, mais uma vez ela não entendia os próprios sentimentos e não foi sincera. Poderiam ter trabalhado mais no amadurecimento da Jojo, porém deixaram ela naquela personagem sem graça e chata.
Quanto ao Hyeyeong... Esse personagem mereceu o final que teve. Ele acaba ficando com a garota que ele tanto gostava e finalmente foi correspondido por ela. Gostei de terem mantido a amizade entre ele e o Sunoh.

Would you like a real Love Alarm app?
I will give my honest opinions about the series having watched and wait for 2 seasons. Quality wise, I believe Season 1 had better cinematographic effects + it felt easier to watch while Season 2 made used of more visual cues & was a more serious tone? Also, it didn't help that it took 2 years for the next Season to be launched and I felt kind of disconnected from the first season already.While watching Season 1, I was Team Hyeyoung, but of course we can deny the chemistry Jojo shared with Sunoh. However, I just wished that they provided more explanations to justify the relationships and actions of the leads. Just some points I would like to point out which I felt awkward:
- so why did Jojo left Sunoh in the first place ? why did she install the shield for him?
- did i miss something, because it's suddenly Gul-mi & aunt were suddenly caring for her?
- so Jojo ended up with Hyeyoung alr since start of S2? How?
- what's Dukgu back story + Brian Cho involvement --> i get some ending cues from this, but was hoping for more explanations
- so Sunoh just suddenly goes for Yukjo now?
Regardless of the loop holes, I believe it was realistic for Jojo to end up with Hyeyoung and here's how I intepreted.
If the notion was right, at the end of S2, Dukgu mentioned that people becoming increasingly reliant on this app that may not actually be true representation of their heart? It is actually evident, since Hyeyoung was the true inspiration of Love Alarm app? He loved Jojo secretly, even before the presence of the app, Probably it mimicked Dukgu's inner feelings of loving, but without a courage to confess, which was why the app was created. In S1, i actually felt awkward for Sunoh & Jojo to fall so quickly for each other, but I won't say it is entirely wrong. It just felt like the relationship blossomed purely because they complete opposites + Sunoh was direct and straightforward and of course ringing her alarm. However, Jojo was self-conscious and insecure of course due to her childhood trauma. She has fear of loving someone, because it also meant sharing insecurities with the other person + possible abandonment. Probably more so it didn't help that Sunoh was of a higher status, which made her wanted to hide herself more and of course doubt herself whether she deserved such feelings. Its also proabbly why she wanted a shield as she didn't want to get hurt. Hyeyoung on the other end, was patient and was willing to wait. He didn't place pressure on Jojo with his feelings. He placed Jojo's feelings & well-being before anyone's and made her realize she is a person worthy of love. He was also the person who taught Jojo what love was and that feelings itself makes one stronger and not vulnerable. Which was also the reason why Jojo had wanted to remove the shield later on.
If you think about it, Jojo had feelings for both people. However, it's probably Hyeyoung who made her want to be a better person. Sunoh on the other hand loved her, but made her more insecure since she was already struggling with her self-issues. Ultimately, it made as it seems that the app itself had made people forgot how to love themselves first, before loving someone else. It was also because of this app that people are having less control of their feelings and volatition. I just felt that maybe all these were not well-portrayed through out season 2, which was why viewers are left confused. It would have been better if more explanations had been made on Jojo's actions/decisions. In all, I am just happy Jojo and Hyeyoung finally found each other with/without the app :)

This show is just pointless.
This is such a shame.. the story has such high potential, yet it falls flat on every single front. I was so angry with the first season, yet I kept going hoping it would improve.It does not. It gets more insufferable as each episode goes on. I haven't watched a drama where I hated every single main character, yet this one has done it flawlessly. None of these characters are likeable in one way or another.
I haven't read the webtoon, but it feels like this show was written with 0 direction and it makes absolutely no sense sometimes. From characters randomly changing their personality, to the utterly ridiculous yet predictable twists, this should be a hard avoid to anybody who isn't a toddler.
This is an embarrassing mess. To see such potential wasted on this utter trash is heartbreaking.

Unpopular Opinion - I liked it!
Despite the very low overall rating of Love Alarm 2 currently - I personally really enjoyed it, and easily prefer it over the first season of Love Alarm. I like how Love Alarm 2 gives off more mature vibes, which I think was definitely needed in order for the story to progress. I would also like to point out that the OST is surprisingly sublime, meaning I will be listening to it on repeat, starting today!It wasn't perfect, for example I did find some scenes quite cringe or irrelevant as they didn't really progress the story that much but overall it didn't hinder my positive experience on an overall scale that much.
While I do prefer Love Alarm 2 - I don't think there should be a Love Alarm 3 now. I'm only mentioning this because I feel like a Love Alarm 3 will happen - we shall see if my feeling becomes more than a 'feeling'!

In desperate need of closure
Disclaimer: This review is coming from someone who knows nothing about the webtoon, haven't watched the teasers for S2 AT ALL (as to not give me a hints as to how it'll end), also no idea about the change of directors (which I just read about recently) and other supplementary data about the series.I have been reading comments that some of you guys already knew from the beginning that HY ends up with JJ but as someone who knew nothing about the webtoon, I was disappointed with the ending.
I'm happy with the fact that the girl ended up with the good guy after all, but the process leading up to this ending just doesn't sit well with me.
I mean I'm satisfied HY ending up with JJ but the fact that she had to install that shield so that he can break it off with SO and not giving him any CLEAR explanations (until the end at that!) was a big meh for me.
I rewatched S1 before watching S2 and it just doesn't add up for me. The fact that JJ installed the shield so that she can break it off with SO and just leaving him there, always coming back to her asking for explanations as to why she broke up with him in the first place is just SO FRUSTRATING.
Like girl, how hard was it for you to just tell him that you did this for him yada yada so that he can understand. I know this is directed for the writers of the series but I just expected them (the characters) to be all mature knowing that they're not in high school anymore - I wished this was handled differently.
S1 was all butterflies and rainbows - diving in just lightly into the complicated love stories of the characters but S2 had a really different vibe - it was a feeble attempt to handle the complicated relationships in a mature.
I try not to be biased toward SO but from the fact that his character was introduced in S1E1 and the build up towards the end of S1 - I really expected him to somehow get the girl.
But hey come S2E1, and I got the small hint that he won't end up with Jojo but I accepted and understood it as the series progressed but I was praying & hoping for closure, at the least, for SO but sadly - they didn't give it to him *sigh

More than I expected and more than welcomed
This was a perfect conclusion to another surprisingly good Netflix Kdrama. The Sci-Fi genre tag got me interested in this drama in the beginning, and then the first season's finale had me invested in what was going to happen next for this alternative universe that was heavily influenced and indebted to an app called Love Alarm.What I appreciate more than anything is the conclusion and logic making sense until the very end of the show. It was completely rewarding to stick with the show until the end of the second season finale. I'm glad the series is short because it feels like it makes the story better. No excess airtime to waste time and put in red herrings, or smoking guns in the series that takes away from the plot and character's development.
From the outside, the drama seems average. Average cliche stories and character stereotypes with repeated plotlines that we've all seen before. I wasn't expecting much when jumping into it. I just wanted to know how much of an impact will an alternative universe with an invasive but innovative app called Love Alarm will have? The impact was major.
First and foremost, the drama isn't a Romantic Comedy, Coming-Of-Age, or Love Triangle with an emotionally constipated chaebol and the 'nice guy' who is just a friend. This drama is Science Fiction in a way that overshadows the other genres of this drama. It was during the season finale of season one that I first realized that this drama's only important and constant main character is the app: Love Alarm. This drama is about Love Alarm and how it affects society and the individuals that reside within.
There's a time jump in the story and a well-done one at that. It jumps forwards and later reveals important and crucial details that happened in the time jump. The cinematography was perfect, as well as the music and acting from the small cast. These otherwise flat and one-dimensional, trope-like characters were able to showcase deeper and complex emotions and experiences in a considerable amount of time. Worth a standing ovation in my opinion. Everyone has a just end that made sense for their characters' decisions and development. I particularly like the fact that the son and mom of the horrible husband and father politician have a.....mutual understanding and concern for each other despite the trauma and pain they went through in the past together and separately.
There was growth and healing in the drama. A journey of self-identity crisis, self-discovery, and self-love that was missing in a world monitored by an app. The main female, JoJo was able to make peace with herself and heal from her Survivor's Guilt that she carried with her since she was a young girl. A tear-worthy moment at the 2nd season finale in Jeju. It was beautiful and I cried I admit. I think anyone would too after the positive message that was relayed to her by Duk-gu, the founder of the app. I like what he said in the end, that he doesn't regret making the app despite the fact that he didn't directly benefit from it as he hoped. He was glad it worked out for others. However, he realized that too many people were depending too much on an app and not their own instincts and feelings. What I got from that was the idea to always seek out companionship and connection in person as well and not just through algorithms suggested through an app. There's always room for error in science because science is man-made and humans make mistakes. Get to know yourself, love yourself, and trust yourself.
I think the great message that I took away from this drama is related to the Sci-Fi genre of the app Love Alarm making decisions for humans that humans can never be able to calculate through science. Love isn't an exact science, just like any area of science isn't exact. Humans are too complicated and complex to be conveniently computed and researched into data.
I'm always down for Sci-Fi dramas and this was a great but wonderful surprise and I would love to see more of this Netflix! You hear me?!?!? Make it happen!

Una historia con una vista madura...
Me gusto que reflejan dos tipos de amor diferentes, en la primera temporada podemos ver un amor juvenil, en el cual muchas veces sabemos que no llega a pasar de la escuela... y en este segunda temporada vemos como crece un amor mas maduro, el cual se basa en el soporte que se dan ambas partes, independientemente de con quien se quedara, pudimos ver madurar a los personajes y a la protagonista superar sus traumas y ver el amor propio---------Posible spoiler-----------
No creo que Sunho terminara infeliz, ya que se ve como madura, y ve que su mama empieza ha hacer un esfuerzo, eso sin decir que el empieza a esforzarse por Yokjo, quien es su novia

Failed to surpass Love Alarm 1
Let's start with the positive. I liked the ending because I'm happy with whom she ended up with. The acting was good and the music was excellent.Now the the downside, the script for the season 2 was average. It was obvious they didn't have enough material for s2, i spent a lot of time skipping through staring into space and walking aimlessly on the streets scenes. These scenes made this season quite dragging and boring, they were obviously fillers and there was a LOT of them *sigh*.
I probably would not watch this again. I wasm't impressed like in s1. I dont't hate it but I don't love it either.

IT COULD'VE BEEN MUCH BETTER.
Season 2 was a little better than the first in some ways, but it still wasn't great. I would have liked her to end up with Sun-oh, not Hye-young. They looked much better together, although there was more chemistry and love between Jojo and Hye-young. Overall it was good, but not great, and the acting wasn't the best. I'm not talking about the actors who took part in this project in general, I'm talking about their acting in this series. It could be much, much better. Another thing I didn't like was that, both during the first season and the second, you always had the question "why?" printed in the mind. Jojo and Sun-oh could be happy together, but it wasn't to be. They made my heart beat faster than she and Hye-young did.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Song Kang is not enough.
I watched 2nd Season few days ago to let me sometime to think about it and write constructive without any personal feelings. And I'm dissapointed. I have to set 1.5 , because the story was so boring. I don't really know why the distance between 1st and 2nd is so big, but I have information to the directors - pretty Song Kang is not enough. To be honest, the fact that I watched it until the end is due to my love for Kim So Hyun's work, which I am a fan of. If it were different actress, the show was be "dropped" after the first episode.I also have problem with crying. They all the time crying and nothing more. In some scenes I thought to myself: "Wait, wait, wait, why are you crying? Are u not too touchy?".
But....it doesn't just have negative sides, scenery and music are very good, which really fit to the drama and characters. I also think the acting was nice. Hopefully we will get a third season which will be alternate and BETTER. If not, then my advice to the actors - don't do that shit anymore. It is a pity to waste your abilities.

expresado su inconformidad con el final
“Cómo lo he dicho en varias publicaciones.El problema no es que no se haya quedado con Sun-Oh EL PROBLEMA ES QUE NO LE DIERON UN FINAL BONITO LO UNICO QUE HICIERON FUE ENFOCARSE EN LOS PROBLEMAS DE JOJO Y HYE YEON, y Sun-Oh y Yukjo solo estaban de relleno, si tanto querían enfocarse en ellos pues no me hubieran puesto a Sun-Oh y Yukjo ahí, aparte de que se ve muy forzado el final entre Sun-Oh y Yukjo”
¿Porqué no me gusto el final de love alarm? Independientemente con quien se quedará Jojo necesitaba necesitaba darse amor propio, superar sus traumas y empezar de cero y Sunho necesitaba tiempo para superar todo, sanar sus heridas y ahi a comenzar de nuevo, el final que me dieron de sunho me dio tanta pena tanto por las dos partes ambos están heridos y no merecían ese final, merecían algo mejor.
pudieron darnos un mejor final con un mensaje muy bueno, pero no nos dieron un final todo choto y forzado.
