A DISAPPOINTMENT! Don’t watch it!
I have never wrote a review before but this time I had to because I was BEYOND DISAPPOINTED!!!! THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A BAD AND A SAD ENDING! I have always respected sad endings from kdramas but this is very bad. The people behind this drama never respected the fans’ votes and opinions who waited for two years for seasons 2. They were all good actors but Kim So-Hyun(jojo) and Jung Ga-Ram(Hye-young) didn’t have any chemistry at all. Even the shortest screen time of So-Hyun and Song Kang (Sun-O) had better chemistry. I can’t believe I waited for two years for this ending. The story doesn’t even deserve a 0.5.Was this review helpful to you?
Breaking Stereotypes
Wow, this is what we call an Ending! I really love the twist! How it shoes the difference of love. Hoping to see more of this type of kdramas!
Feel bad for Sun-oh but he has Yuk-jo who is very patient and understanding too. Hoping they could definitely get their own happy ending.
The ending scene gives me all the chills! Knowing Jojo already love Hyeyoung since the start of Season 2 makes my heart swell! I really cried that both of them seem to be very happy and contented. Their relationship is healthy af ಥ‿ಥ

I wanted jojo and sun-oh to end together,waited for season 2 for more than a year and got this ending,its my first time writing a review for any drama,i love k-drama there were many dramas in which i was a bit sad when my favourite couple did not end together but this was the worst.The director took a year to make season 2 he should have known what everyone wanted.I hope that it would have ended without only season 1 at least we could have thought that jojo and sun-oh ended together,i should have not hoped a lot from season 2.In the end the happiest thing i watched during the show was yuk-jo and sun-oh.They were main lead for meWas this review helpful to you?

Disappointed, bored and angry - Don’t watch season 2
Waited so long for the second season and now i feel cheated. Angry at the character development and the plot. Disappointed that she ended up with HyeYeong and the whole shield and spear thing. The whole season 2 is about SunOh being whiny, forced chemistry between Jojo and HyeYeong and Jojo being a heartless, indecisive b****. The last episode is produced solely to justify Jojo’s behaviour for being a b**** for the whole of season 2. It makes me hate Jojo. The whole feel of season 2 is depressing and unatural (forced). I skipped a bit here and there because it was boring, fed up with the excuses, anticlimactic drama and forced chemistry.. Not too sure if I skipped too much but the only mouth to mouth kiss in season 2 is between Sunoh and Jojo. LIke honestly how can they expect us to root for the newly established couple with that sort of script?? There is no continuity from season 1 to season 2. All of the feels, excitement and chemistry of Sunoh and Jojo was flushed down the toilet and season 2 is drowning in moppy, unnecessary, anticlimactic drama.Pros:
English Dub
Gulmi’s parts are more interesting.

Not your typical plot
I kind of liked the story plot, it just wasn’t to my taste. I feel like it’s a very compelling show I guess not the ending or way I would have liked it to go. I was hoping I didn’t wait such a long time to see that ending 😩 in the first season I was in love with how the story went and the love between sun oh and Kim jojo, I hadn’t expect such a big change in plot or to go another way. The plot could have dealt more in this second season with their overall relationship rather than try to sum it all up at once and then move on. Or even that they made a better ending for park before she deserved it. I do think it’s a very reasonable story line and it would make sense, I was just hoping for a fairy tale ending.Was this review helpful to you?

I can't believe they made us wait two years for a sequel that was so bland and boring.
I can't believe they made us wait two years for a sequel that was so bland and boring. The dialogue felt forced a lot of the time, and while there were cheesy scenes on season 1, season 2 was... something else... The scene on the canteen made me cringe so hard.I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of the 3 characters. Hye Young is boring and his personality is basically "I like Jojo". Jo Jo is supposed to be more of an adult and focuses so much on that app when having hurt her ex s.o's feelings and her own shoul've made her already realize that she doesn't have to rely on an app. The scenes between Hye Young and Jo Jo bored me to death. Sun Oh never learned that he should stop screaming and throwing tantrums, even though I guess I can give him a pass because I, too, would be frustrated by not understanding why Jo Jo acted the way she did in their past and now.

Say that I love you to the person you love.
Just started the new one. It’s got a whole different vibe to the first one with even better graphics but hate the dubbed American English accents. I’m watching on Netflix. I prefer the Korean with subtitles. Can’t get my head around the changes yet. Jojo is still so beautiful. The visuals still outstanding, beautiful spring blossoms this time trees just filled with gorgeous blooms and bending branches. Dramatic contrast of the two seasons. Love Alarms computer graphics , magnificent and appropriate for the drama.There is a lot of symbolism in this drama. We all go through a dark tunnel to come into the light.
That Hwang Sun Oh is just so selfish and arrogant. I forgot about persist and annoying. Please Jojo don’t fall for him, but what’s the odds. Don’t we always fall for the bad boy. Oh! I’m going to.
Just think if we really did rely on a “Love Alarm” in our lives and never actually express how we literally feel.
Lee Hye Young is her rock of true love and friendship. Why can’t she love him. So sad! Why do we make those same mistakes.
Then there are her predictions on her blog “The Ringing World.” Whatever she writes in it seems to come true. How is this happening. I’ve forgotten who knows she is the author.
Stephen McCarty from the South China Morning Post opined that "Love Alarm is not only an innocent love story but also deals with data protection, gay rights, the extreme consequences of heartache, and smartphone invasion.
It is a very clever statement of the world today.
They didn’t know her true story. Cheon Duk Goo was the that understood her the most. He knew sadness and heart ache
I loved Kim So Hyun as a child actor and she has gone from strength to strength. She embraced her childhood memories and sorted herself out

BIGGEST Disappointment EVER
Like many other watchers, I've been waiting for this for over a year. I was literally so excited when I heard about the release of season 2. Then I saw the trailer. Honestly, I still had hope after the trailer. I was hoping that maybe she would finally understand her feelings and choose Sun Oh. she is still as slow-witted as ever in S2.She not once tried to understand how Sun Oh was feeling. He was heartbroken for 4 years because JoJo decided to use the stupid shield. He didn't deserve that heartbreak, and his feelings for her were so genuine. I started crying so many times because of how SunOh was treated... Sun Oh had barely any screen time, and he was supposed to ba a main character.
Honestly, the producers just couldn't read the mood, could they? They KNEW we wanted JoJoxSunOh but decided to crush our hopes. Waste of time. SunOh didn't even have a decent ending. Hyeyoung and Jojo's relationship was fake and forced. Where is the chemistry between them?
JoJo still had feelings for SunOh......
I thought Season 1 was disappointing, this was on a WHOLE another level of bad.

very disappointed with season 2
very disappointed with season 2it seems absurd to me how it ended plus season 2 had no relevance, no emotion transmitted, the end I do not say ... you mean that if someone loves us and we do not love him should we accept only because he loves us? absurd
I was looking forward to this new season, I really liked the first season but it didn't make any sense, nothing concrete, nothing connected.plus everyone was left with a water person who doesn't love her and I don't understand why ?? this is love? to sit next to a person you don't love and suffer in silence? Is that what the film wants to teach us?

No smile at all
The thing that sucks the most in this drama is .....IN SEASON 1 SUN OH SAYS JOJO IS PRETTY when jojo is taking about scenery
but in season 2 they used hye young to say that part . I mean how can they do that.....
and I still dont understand why the hell did jojo break up with sun oh....
and ost is good and only one out of all and you dont get to listen it until last episode....
and the drama is a bit forced and characters deserve more
and it would be nice if they stopped sad scenes of sun oh and used sun oh and uk ju[ or something i dont remember sun oh girlfriend's name]

Good concept, but disappointing overall.
I found the concept of the 'Love Alarm' to be quite interesting, yet the character personalities were so frustrating at times that I would just stop watching. Jo Jo (Kim So Hyun) is specially troublesome as the story revolves around her not knowing who is best, and viewer is stuck watching the same questionable decisions over and over. Sun Oh (Song Kang) is equally if not more frustrating as his character is a whining child who forces his presence upon people. The saving grace of this trio is Hye Young (Jung Ga Ram) who plays the 'good guy', and is the only main character that I can relate with. The story engulfs these three main characters, with the story rarely moving to the support characters, that I wish were focused on more.For me the soundtrack makes or breaks whether I'll finish watching a drama. There are a couple of tracks that are quite good, but one especially continues to give me chills; good chills. 'In my little mind' by Hodge and its placement within scenes really sung true with me re-enforcing the characters emotions and trust within themselves. The other tracks include quirky background instrumentals and tranquil singles, pretty standard.
Would I recommend this to anyone? Probably not, it's not for everyone.
Would I watch this again? Probably not.
Would I listen to the soundtrack? Yes, there a few gems that I listen to now and again.
