okay honeybuns, let's talk about the ending
OMFG let me explain all of my thoughts while watching this.During the first couple of episodes I could not stop swearing at my screen because I was so pissed that she was with Hye-yeong. I actually cried watching her with him. Like sun-oh literally didn't do anything to deserve this. Anyway I was literally dying. Also, there's a lot of false clues in the beginning that she'll end up with sun-oh, like when her love alarm thing disappeared from hye-yeong's screen. So, since I was on team sun-oh, I'm sorry to say but there's a lot of heart ache and suffering to endure if you're rooting for him.
Don't kill me but I actually think the ending made sense. I mean when you think about it, sun-oh and jojo are both people who need to receive love. Meanwhile, hye-yeong and yuk-jo are both people who give love. If sun-oh and jojo really ended up together I don't think they would be all that happy since they're both receivers, I think? so that thought kinda made me calm down and think that it really was the best for them....
Now imma compare the seasons
Hands down, I think that season one was better. It has a stronger storyline and is more exciting. Season two almost felt like I was reading/looking through someone's photo book. It also ends the same way that it started, so I felt like I just watched a whole bunch of nothing. You could watch all six episodes in a row like I did, and almost think nothing of it. Also, season one made more sense. Like season two was shorter, but I feel like they didn't explain at all what happened to Duk Goo and what the heck he's been doing all these years.
I guess the ending was more satisfying than season one?? I mean I liked the way they explained why jojo's possibility of liking hye-yeong disappeared. Essentially, all the questions about the main characters are all answered in the end. But what about characters like Duk Goo, Gul Mi and sun-oh's family? I would've liked to see what happened to them as well, even though they aren't main characters.
I can't really remember the music in season one, but I really liked the music in season two.
Season two was deeper when it came to emotions. It had a lot of scenes/shots that needed thinking or could be interpreted to what the watchers thought, I liked that aspect of season two. It refers to season one quite a lot, which I also liked, since I watched season one a while ago and cannot remember everything.
anyway it's worth watching, but it's not the best.
BUT TEAM SUN-OH GOT ROBBED. He didn't have that many scenes and the story was mainly about jojo and hye-yeong. like pleasssseeee where are all the good scenes and shots????

Contains heavy spoilers!
I think I get it...It was a sea of emotions. I wasn't a bit happy when it ended. The second season is surely *dark* in one word.
I have to say I did resent Jojo for being inconsiderate to Sun-oh. She never settled the tie between them properly. A "mianhe" doesn't cut it in my book yet, I can't blame her... Why? Because what I get is this story was mostly about perseverance.
Sun-oh could have fought for her but he didn't. Yes, he never stopped loving her but obviously he needed to act, take responsibility. Simply, do something.
Hye-yeong did. He was there no matter what. He helped. He didn't sit still and give up.
Yeok-ju too, she didn't give up on him till the end. There is a line between being clingy and hopeful. She did well in her own way.
And JoJo... she didn't give up on her life. Jeju story was so moving, the backbone of it was so strong.
What I liked the most is the way she found herself healing her childhood trauma. Hugging that little girl, telling her "it's okay." really made it worth.
But....
Can I get over how my ship was ruined ? No T.T
Minus is ; the last scenes about her love alarm... it felt off. They didn't need to convince us she did like Hye-yeong. Sun-oh coming back to Yeok-ju felt like he was looking for a band-aid. I just hoped for a better future for him rather than leading by his mother's example.
Dear writers I know it is about JoJo but don't you think this is unjust to a character like Sun-oh?
I will always remember my ship <3 JoJo - Sun-oh <3

A TOTAL SCAM OF LOVE ALARM SEASON 1
LOVE ALARM 2 IS LIKE A SCAM. THEY CHANGED THE WHOLE PLOT WHICH WAS VERY GOOD TO SOME SHITY PLOT IN SEASON 2 LIKE HOW CAN YOU CHANGE THE WHOLE STORY OR PLOT OR DEVELOPMENT. THEY MADE IT LOOK LIKE FL DID NOT LOVE THE SECOND ML BUT STILL CHOOSE HIM TO MAKE IT LOOK SHE WANTED TO PROVE SOMETHING NOT BECAUSE OF LOVE. I BELIEVE THAT THE DIRECTOR AND SCRIPT WRITER MUST BE DRUNK OR HAD TAKEN DRUGS WHILE MAKING THIS SEASON. I MEAN HOW CAN YOU MAKE A DRAMA WHICH WAS SO GOOD IN SEASON 1 MAKE SO BAD LIKE SHIT REALLY. THE ACTING RATING IS BECAUSE OF THE ML (SON-OH) OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE 3.1 RATING IS THE MINIMUM OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE 0 FOR SURE.

JOJO ENDS UP WITH HYEYEONG WTFFFF
OMG I WATCHED THE FIRST EPISODE AND IT WAS SO BORING SO I SKIPPED TO THE END AND JOJO ENDS UP WITH HYEYEONG WTH!!! Wtffffffff I was expecting sunoh to end up with her like sunoh still liked her and she only broke up with him because she didn’t want to hurt him. Like if your breaking up like that you can’t hurt him again when your older like did he own you in his past life or something?!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!! SUNOH SHOULDVE ENDED UP WITH HER AND NO OFFENCE AND NO HATE BUT HYEYEONG AND JOJO DOESNT EVEN MATCH IN MY OPINION AND HYEYEONG SHOULDNT EVEN TRY TO HIT ON JOJO LIKE WHY ARE YOU DATING YOUR BSF’S EX LIKE THATS CRAZY! YOU CANNOT ABSOLUTELY NOT DO THAT IM SO PISSED AT THIS!!!!!!! The director should’ve went with the majority like 70% of the people wanted sunoh to end up with JOJO!!! Everyone is crazy!!!!Was this review helpful to you?

Crying my eyes outtt
When I tell you I have waited half a year for this season just because I was so invested in Sun oh and JoJo I felt as if my heart was ripped out I love Hye yeong but there was simply no chemistry there to me and I am so disappointed I just felt as if this was a different drama same people situation I love the first season so much I cried for about an hour when I realized JoJo would not end up with Sub oh and Hye yeong deserves all love to but not with JoJo I feel as if his love for her was forced same for JoJo I really don’t want to finish watching this season because if I cried watching the first few minutes of the first episode I can only imagine what would happen watching it all but all love to the cast the season is just not what I was expecting!!Was this review helpful to you?

Disappointing
Season 2 is so disappointing. If you’re team Sun o, drop this drama rn. Could’ve been better honestly. After watching season 1 and getting spoiled by season 2, literally disappointed. I just noticed how bad the FL is. Cheated on her ex, dumping her boyfriend without even an explanation and starts dating her bf’s best friend. Hye yeong was hella weird too. Stalking Jojo, always watching her wherever she is, and walking behind her when they didn’t even interacted many times in season 1. They should’ve change the ending after seeings the fans loving Sun oh and Jojo together. Now they better expect bad reviews.Was this review helpful to you?

Season 1 was much better
It's kind of hard to continue watching this title since I have started to completely hate Sunoh and whenever I see him I get upset and almost the same thing happens to me with Gulmi. I still haven't finished it but I hope it ends good, Jojo picking Hyeyeong and the shield being removed so that he knows how she feels and all the thoughts of him having one-sided feelings disappear. If there's a third season I will probably not watch it though, maybe I will force myself to do it since I love Song kang and I want to support him in all of his roles but it's unlikely to happen.Was this review helpful to you?

great OST and photography.
I must say as first thing, that the OST and the photography of this drama are great!!I never liked Sun-Ho from the first moment, but he was sincere, so I couldn't hate him... Hye-Yeong is not very a good looking guy, but he had this charm that made me love him immediately.
Finally a drama that is not boring, that gives space to the second lead and specially... is realistic!
Not always your first love remains your lover for the rest of your life, things can change, feelings can change, people can change... finally a girl that changes!
I'm so bored of dramas where the girl ends up with her first love, those dramas are so predictable. During the watching I was always thinking... ok Sun-Ho will do something and she will change her mind, as always... but not this time!

The most irritating characters but it's a good drama
So I'm writing this for both season 1 and 2 sooo you might get spoiled like a lot. I actually thought this will be an OKAY kdrama so I watched it and wtf. Literally, ep.1 (season 1) was already problematic. (WELL FOR ME)Sun oh just decided to be a jerk and kiss his best friend's crush knowing that SHE IS HIS CRUSH... like wtf is wrong with him.
ORRR, maybe.... JUST MAYBE, he likes Jojo too. ><
I like the story of the love alarm app thing... but WHAT THE FAK just happened...
Jojo is the person who just chooses wrongly. Her choices are the absolute worst in my entire kdrama experience. She likes Sun oh. They got into an accident so NOW. She breaks up with him even if Sun oh doesn't blame her for what happened and smiles at her all the time. She even use something to block him (I won't tell you what something). THEN..
She says that she broke up with him so that she will not take away Sun oh's smile WTF. There is really something wrong with her... She will just take away his smile if she break up with him because he loves her >< ... SHE'S NOT FUKING THINKING...
YEeeeh....
Season 2 was okay... I GUESS....
Jojo is dumber in season 2 and now I just keep on saying why? to everything she does... :)))
YEAHHHH watch till the end to see what happened... WATCH THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK.
because you'll get irritated.
Just jam with the music ig.

What I feel, what is my choice, what actually I want to do, I really alone?
If we just watch the drama as unrealistic story ,just for entertainment then it is beautiful love story having little pain and regrets but unknowingly many people get hurt without any fault . The fault is unrequited love , love ia very beautiful feeling ,it is a feeling just to imagine that person give thousands of happiness and In return want nothing. Just to watch that person happy ,doing well and living well are enough but still somewhere in heart wants to live side with by that person .I really don't like the love alarm concept that believe on app but not believe in your heart as I prove that someone loves you but it is make on the basis of entertainment then whole drama I like it. Actually since starting I wanted her to ended up with him ,starting from the first season and she was actually ended up with him . So I am happy to see the ending.
Music as well as background songs were good.
Though it is slow but not at all boring .
