I actually watched this drama two times, and it really gave me more perspective on it. The first time around, I was a diehard Sun Oh x Jojo watcher. The second time, I became a Hyeyeong x Jojo watcher. I realized how frustrating the whole situation is and how unfair Jojo was to both guys. Her unwillingness to open up and bad decisions led to the unfortunate outcome of their relationship. I understand that she had gone through some tough stuff, but that should mean she should allow herself to lean on someone who actually cared about her. Also, I loved Sun Oh's and Hyeyeong's bromance, but Sun Oh actually made terrible decisions himself. He broke the bro code and got mad at Hyeyeong for going after Jojo at the end. But the best part of this drama had nothing to do with the leads, but more about the side stories. How unfair it is to not be able to control your feelings or dial it down. How it must feel to have the person you like tell you to stop liking them. How it must be to never have someone ring your love alarm. This show dives deeper into this concept and shows how the idea of a love alarm affects the rest of society. Overall, this is a meaningful watch if you can get past how much the leads will frustrate you (except Hyeyeong deserves everything).
