It was nowhere near as bad as people made it sound

Unpopular opinion here: I enjoyed Love Alarm 2. I rarely do reviews for popular shows but I see no reviews expressing the same opinions as me. Before I started watching the second season I already knew who the endgame was because of countless spoilers on the internet, but I still wanted to experience the story for myself. And, boy, am I glad I did! Despite everyone saying that they didn't like the show, I binged it as fast as possible because I found it so interesting.

Storywise, I thought the continuation was brilliant. I don't understand why people disliked it so much. I got a little confused at first because it kind of just skipped what happened at the end of season one. But I was so invested in the story from the very second I started. Even though I rooted for the other couple, I did not mind this at all and ended up falling for them anyway.

This is where it might get hard to express my opinions without spoiling the ending, but I will seriously try my best not to ruin the endgame. A lot of people are angry at Jojo this season. A lot of the time, I found it unnecessary. People were mad at her for starting a relationship with Hye-yeong at the beginning of the show instead of with Sun-oh. Of course, Sun-oh went through difficult times, which also made me as a viewer sympathize a lot with him. And of course, he deserves happiness. But he was quite selfish; he didn't care about Jojo's or Hye-yeong's feelings at certain moments, all he wanted was Jojo for himself. However, I understand what emotions can do to a person. Sun-oh and Jojo loved each other very dearly in high school, but Sun-oh was hanging on too much to how they used to be. Of course, Jojo definitely should've been more honest with Sun-oh, but most people who disliked the show blame her for being honest with her feelings about the two male leads. Was she supposed to lie to herself to make someone else happy?

Overall I liked the show. It was enjoyable and the plot was great. Don't let too many negative reviews shield you from watching. If you saw season one and enjoyed it, of course, you should watch season 2.
