is this season even in anyway connected to s1?
speechless at just how bad S2 was. The story did absolutely NOTHING to convince me jojo was in love with hye yeong. Are we supposed to just forget everything that happened in S1 with sunoh ?? On top of that it was totally boring. They could have leaned more into the crime storylines or the slight dystopian future element of love alarm, instead it was 6 episodes of jojo saying no words and people staring at each other. . I am so so disappointed because s1 was one of my fave dramas. what a load of tosh. Even if it ended with jojo and sun oh together,I would still have to stay it was boring.Was this review helpful to you?
Could have been a 9/10 with better casting
the female characters were super interesting and the actors played their roles well. both are very talented. the male actors though, leave a bit to be desired. they’re all a bit flat in their acting so I didn’t feel for them as much as I did the female characters/ actors.the story is really good and I kept watching because of all the twists that held my interest - and all of them made sense for the storyline!
Better casting on the male leads would have improved this drama greatly.

All women over 18 need to watch this
Before I begin I want to make one thing clear: Anyone saying ‘if the roles were reversed’ and judging the drama and script on that, are absolutely assuming that men and women are perceived equally when it comes to sex and that women experience sexual pleasure and romantic intimacy in EXACTLY the same way as men do. We do not have that pleasure unfortunately and as a woman in my late 20s I stand by this and my experience. This review is based on this lens.Amazing drama, especially for women. Even those with sexual experience will learn something from this. Most important of all is self worth and understanding sexual desire is normal. This drama has reminded me that the uneven playing field doesn’t matter and I don’t need to settle, I (and everyone) deserve to feel everything to the fullest. Intimacy, pleasure and happiness. It’s amazing to see this represented so beautifully on screen. I hope many women watch this and understand the lessons it’s teaching us.

0 out of 10 if i could - DO NOT WATCB
Will contain spoilerswow, what started out as a super cute and trope heavy drama turned into a disaster.
At the beginning I was head over heels for this drama and the leads romance. I’m a sucker for a trope and hey, even a dab of toxicity, but this storyline ruined it all.
Like everyone else, the first 10 or so episodes were exciting for me. Then the bombshell drops that not only did the male lead know about her before they ‘met’ in the show, he FAKED her cancer diagnosis, their bone marrow match and her recovery all to manipulate her into marrying him.
There was ZERO chance of this drama coming back to life for me after then. Then the male lead kept her hostage in their house for two days with guards???
ugh, the whole thing was destroyed at this point. The second male lead is so lovely so I thought maybe with such a catastrophic twist in the storyline that he would actually be the person she picks but after another episode i realised it wasn’t going to happen and looked up spoilers. She goes back to the horrible male lead.
Waste of any time and energy. Just UGH.

zero chemistry leads
I so wanted to love this drama. There are so many things about it that I love!The plot line is something I enjoy; a regular, slow/paced romance and a lead couple who communicate and don’t let silly things get between them. The gaming element is fun too.
Unfortunately the acting leaves much to be desired. The ML is fine, I would probably enjoy him in a better written show.
The FL is stiff and heavily heavily dubbed, which can be uncomfortable to watch as the dubbing isn’t synced very well. At the beginning I liked her, but as she interacts more with other actors her stiffness becomes very obvious.
The more the two leads interact, the less I’m convinced of any interest between them. I like a story that starts off strongly with the leads falling for each other but it’s soooo badly written, I simply cannot believe or understand how they come to like each other. The actors also have NO CHEMISTRY!
Really, I don’t blame the FL for the poor overall quality of the show. The writing is horrible and production made a lot of decisions with the finish on the show that make it more cartoonish than dramas should be (aka the dubbing).
The terrible writing made it impossible to like any supporting characters.
One trope that I despise is a group of men gathering around the FL like her protectors just because their friend is dating her. it’s so unrealistic and I wish we could drop it and show normal friendships/ interactions between a couples friends.
unfortunately I’ve had to drop halfway through, but I’d love recommendations for a similar storyline that is executed a lot better!
