Not Good Enough
The second season of the Korean Drama " Love Alarm " takes things from where the first season left off, years after the events that lead to the main couple splitting up. This season doesn't have the advantage of the school genre that always adds some innocence and freshness to the plot. It actually doesn't have a plot, as the story focuses on JoJo and her struggle to accept herself and her feelings. The whole drama about her art, her past life, and the shield was sloppily handled and the family drama was overlooked. The side characters were also boring.One thing that this drama had going for it, at least, was the strong performances from the cast, especially from the leading lady. The twist with the romance was original too. However, the whole drama feels strange compared to the first season, like it's not its sequel. Rather, it's boring and rushed.
So, overall, 4 out of 10.

The disappointment was unbearable.
I was so excited for the release of this series after such a long wait, for us diehard Love Alarm fans I wish I had researched the reviews before watching, I realized it had a total different direction when they jumped shipped straight into another time period and theme the first episode, I wouldn't recommend this train wrecked the storyline is a waste, my suggestion would be to stop at Love Alarm and pretend like Love Alarm 2 was never released. I'm so disappointed I can't properly express my true feelings. Just beware it's not the same.Was this review helpful to you?
Trash
Waited 2 years just to be disappointed!!!I regretted waiting for the season and I also regretted recommending this dram to my friends!
Worst KDrama ending!!! Don't watch it guys, super waste of time.
Season 2 is badly written!!! Deserves to be trashed.
Kim Jojo and Hye young, doesnt have chemistry, I never liked it, watching their sweet moments feels like forced, I didn't even smile or even felt a tingling feeling of love. They look good together as friends, but a couple? nah!
Writers and director wasted everyone's time! They built up sun-ho and jojo in season one, they have a great chemistry only to ruin everything in season 2. Had I known this will be the ending, I wouldn't have watched it all together and save myself from pain and disappointment.
Love alarm is one of my top 5 kdrama so I'm really angry that season 2 is so bad, it's now the the bottom of my list!

Honestly we didn't need this 2nd season...
I waited for 2 years and just to be disappointed. So much. Yes, it should just end on the 1st season. And this 2nd season shouldn't really exist if we're just gonna get some disappointed anticlimax storyline.Right from the start, the vibes of the drama already different from the 1st season. It's more gloomy and mellow even though the background is totally spring time! I know that they're older in this season, so they made this season look more serious and mature. But still, is it right to made them always crying or get in rain every time they have problem?
The plotline is so slow and I also feel like the conversation in this 2nd season is limited. They barely have conversation to each other and it's kinda made me bored while watched. And sorry to say, It made me skipped some part, especially with the background OST which made it more gloomy with some ballad songs. It's just useless scene to watch. The drama's whole vibes already gloomy, you didn't need to remind us in every scene. It's totally crush my expectation...
Yes, I did have some expectation. That Jojo will clear up the misunderstanding with Sun Oh, or at least talking decently. But meh... They're barely talking about why they have to break up, with Sun Oh only shouting angry and Jojo cried herself out. Argh... I already hate that from the start. I thought that it will get better after some episodes, but nope.
Jojo's character is just so self blaming, and I really can't stand that for the whole drama. I thought she will find some solace with Sun Oh by healing each other in the end, but none. Also Sun Oh's character in the end just accept everything without really try anything. Hye Yeong's past suddenly come out which just didn't get more impact for the drama. The outburst from character's old scars are usually the climax of the drama, but I didn't really got that in here. Hoft...
If they really want to make Jojo and Hye Yeong together in the end, they didn't need to prolonged until few years later just for her to finally realized that she's like Hye Yeong in the 2nd season. They're already together in the end of 1st season, so what needed is she explained herself to Sun Oh why she had to used the shield and break up with him in the end of season 1. Then the end of the story. We didn't need this 2nd season.
The only character who consistent in this drama is only Gul Mi. She's still didn't like Duk Gu till the end, even though she's know that he's the developer of JoAlarm hahaha And I still can't relate with the storyline that use gadget or technology on their love affair. It's just doesn't make sense. If the moral story of this drama is to show that people shouldn't too depend on their gadget to show their love, the writer really didn't success I guess...
I don't know what else to rant about this 2nd season. I just feel sooooo angry and disappointed with the storyline, and I watched it till the end just to try made better judgement. And for Song Kang too. Poor him... The story really just wasted the actors's acting quality. The cast is great but the story just meh...

The story goes bad
From the last parts of S1, they'd been so unfair with Sun Oh, got hung in the air without closure and being the unchosen one as his friend prioritizes love over friendship. The story becomes so unfair for Sun Oh, so I was hoping that he will get justice in S2 but instead they destroyed his character even more. In reality, how the story goes with him is so depressing from his family problems to the way that he has always been left by important people in his life and forcing himself to love someone that he doesn't. His one and only friend chose love over him even knowing that the girl cause so much pain to him by the way she left him hanging was just so unfair. It sounds so wrong. The storyline is just nuts and has no sense at all.I don't have any issues with the acting. I think everyone portryed their role well.

Total Disappointment Love Alarm 2
After so long waiting for this drama season 2 disappointment. What a depressing drama nothing like the 1st season. There was more crying then there was lines in this drama. Three characters that when to high school together and now did not know how to talk with each other. JoJo and Hye young care for each other but they could not talk with each other. Secrets were kept and Jojo did not communicate at all. She did a lot of crying but no talking. Sunoh had so much anger but took no time to find out what happen and acted like he would not think his parents had nothing to do with it. Other then the 6th episode that you get a little happiness and understanding of what is going on the second season fail terribly. The total 2nd season maid me mad, frustrated, annoyed, and depressed. Not what I wanted to watch. the music also made you even more depress. Bad script.Was this review helpful to you?

A bit disappointed
I started watching because of Kim Sohyun, love her so much.The first season was great. The second felt like a complete different drama.
I still don’t understand why Jojo couldn’t be with Sunoh. It was never explained.
I get that Hyeheong was a nice guy and all, but their relationship felt so forced. Also, so weird that he went after his friend’s ex....
Sunoh’s end was a bit sad, in my opinion. Yukjo was nice but how sad is it to force yourself to like someone just because the person you love is with someone else?
On another note, what’s with the brightness?? I honestly thought my tv was crazy

Very disappointed
I was waiting for this season after watching it’s first season which I really loved. But what did I get after waiting for almost 2 years. Disappointment ! I felt the chemistry between jojo and sunho since the beginning of the first season and because of this I was eagerly waited for second season to be aired. But makers really make me hit on wall with a question mark. Guys, what did you do with this garbage storyline, made love alarm from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the ocean. Please don’t watch season 2 if you don’t want to disappoint yourself and don’t want to waste your time.Was this review helpful to you?

Two wasted years of waiting. Thanks, worst webtoon ever!
Season 1 wasn’t like a masterpiece but I was drawn to it because of curiosity about Jojo and Suno’s star crossed relationship. Her reason for breaking up with him literally made no sense but whatever, she’s young...and season 2 shows me she’s still stupid lolWhoever was the decision maker on this season must not have seen season 1 or doesn’t know how to make good television. I wouldn’t put this show on your resume.
What a waste of time. It’s like they look at the list of things that most people like and do the complete opposite, for fun(???). Safe yourself and DO NOT WATCH!!

Bad ending
The ending was. Atrocious it was horrible it was one of the worst endings I’ve ever seen I’d rather watch cheese in a trap over and over again till I die then we watch love alarm season two. I’d rather have to see some of the worst K dramas in history then re-watch love alarm season two because Love alarm season two ending was so bad I demand a new season a season where the ending becomes better or season we’re all everyone gets what they want. I was so excited to watch season two but left as soon as the first episode I wasted my hours waiting for days I mean stayed up for 10 horribly maybe for some people did it and horribly but for me and most of the fan I feel as though and horribly for all of usWas this review helpful to you?

Love Alarm as a whole lacks any development. This season, just continues with adults relying on an app to tell their feelings (DO BETTER). And the transition into the second season completely disregards what happened in the previous episode. That tension for it to never be recalled again. Tsk tsk. The acting was alright. Though this is not a show to show the potential of their good acting. The characters are so one dimensional, it's hard to root for them. I felt personality coming more out of my left toe than any of the characters combined.
This is the show that you want to shut your brain off too and watch your typical girl with no parents who is miraculously loved by a boy with daddy issues and a nice boy who's just trying his best.
EXCEPT THAT NICE BOY WINS HAHAHAYAH
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO HYEYOUNG MY MAN.
What a win. I'm taking that dub.
