Bitter sweet

First I want to add a disclaimer. I was team Sun Oh and I was very very disappointed that Jojo went to Hyeyeong. But before I started watching season two, I decided to put my feelings aside and now I will tell you my objective opinion (well okay opinions are never totally objective) about the series.

First of all, I gave the drama in overall a 7. This is because some parts were too fast for me and some parts too slow. It felt like Jojo was suddenly in love with Hyeyeong while she still had lingering feelings for Sun oh (at least it seemed like this). Some parts were too slow for me, like around episode three it felt too slow. While episode six went by very quickly because it contained a lot of information about the story and characters.

Second thing, I really liked the part of the brothers. Gok Doo as the developer of love alarm one and the brother who made love alarm two. And I loved the lesson at the end. Something along the lines of: You shouldn't let people rely on technological innovations and decide for people whom they should and will love. To me it's still a little unclear what happened to Gok Doo in the meantime and it's sad that we'll never know the exact reason why he was in the hospital.

Third thing.. (AND THIS IS MY BIASED OPINION) I feel like.. Sun Oh was a a dream to Jojo like he was the first person to be there for her and the first person to give her heart flutterings. Sun Oh gave her real feelings of being in love. Yet, I feel like she went for Hyeyeong because he was more reliable (in her opinion). Not someone that would make her feel as in love with butterflies in her stomach like with Sun Oh, but someone she can rely on and feel safe with. And.. I don't know how I feel about this. She looks less in love but more relaxed.

Last but not least, I really loved how the story ended for everyone. Everyone has an ending they deserved. The niece, gumi or something, got lowkey dissed by Dok Goo. Dok Goo decided to work on new things again. Sun Oh wants to move on and had sort of closure on why Jojo treated him like shit. Hyeyeong got his love and Jojo let go of her past and realised that she was a victim of her parents and she decided to move on and be happy. The aunt of Jojo decided to look for happiness with her hiking group. All in all, a fairly good ending for everyone.

Honestly, the series is good and the idea is fresh. I was just fixed on team Sun Oh for like two years. If the two seasons were released immediately after each other, then I might've understood why she went for Hyeyeong. But even though I did enjoy season two, it was just disappointing for my ship. Sun Oh went through so much because of Jojo's egoism and her fear. I do understand her actions but I can't lie I'm not disappointed.

I give this season a 7/10 based on the fact that some things are not explained well and some of the slow scenes.

Ps. I did really like the ending scene with the dates on which her alarm went off. (For the people who already watched love alarm season two, you will understand)
