Love Alarm (좋아하면 울리는)
"Love Alarm" is a Korean drama and it’s ideal for anyone who likes to watch shows with technology, good looking cast members and a lot of romance. This is one of those shows that you can easily fall into binge-watching, so I've warned you in advance that it can be addictive. It has just the right amount of realism, science fiction and fantasy to be somewhat believable, and highly entertaining.
Based on the webtoon by Chon Kye-young, Love Alarm tells the story of three young people who come of age when the world changing app called Love Alarm is released. The app, if turned on, allows users to know who within a 10 meter radius has romantic feelings for them. Because the app is synced with the user's heart, there's no way to lie, which causes some trouble when two childhood friends - model Hwang Sun-oh (Song Kang) and his housekeeper's son Lee Hye-yeong (Jung Ga-ram) - both fall for the same girl, Kim Jojo (Kim So-hyun).
Actually "Love Alarm" is unique for Netflix. It’s their very first Korean original series and it’s offered in a variety of languages. If you’re an English speaker you can watch it English or it’s cool to watch it in Korean and use the option for English subtitles. Each episode of the show lasts for an hour and there are eight per season. The show focuses upon the app that gives the series its name. Actually there you can appreciate the fact that you can visit the "Love Alarm" attractions if you’re ever in Seoul. That’s how popular the series has become. The characters in "Love Alarm" will move you to the point of feeling intense emotions.
I'm not going to give away any secrets here, but this is one of the things that fans of the series love. It’s riveting and addictive and you can’t wait to get to the next episode so you can find out. "Love Alarm" is a very different kind of series and if you’re into Korean drama, this may be right up your alley. If you’re looking for something new to fill the void left by the hiatus of your favorite television series, and you like what you’ve heard about "Love Alarm" so far, these are the reasons why you might want to give it a shot.
P.s. I'm in Team Hwang Sun-oh!!! ^-^
