So I just want to start off by saying I didn't hate this melodrama but I am disappointed. I agree that there was a lot of unnecessary scenes and not enough romance between Nan Sheng (Qiao Man) and He Ping. I also found the ending to be nonsensical, after regaining her memories how could Nan Sheng be so cold and unforgiving towards He Ping yet be so forgiving towards Hansen who essentially kidnapped her and lied to her about her identity and didn't even try to find her family, as well as Qiao Feng who essentially used Nan Sheng to replace her own dead sister, how in the entire world could Nan Sheng feel comfortable going anywhere with that psycho? Did she not care at all how He Ping and his mother felt? I understand her feelings towards Shen completely because how dare you act all buddy buddy and like everything is normal after you killed my daddy and only come clean when you thought I was dead and as for Ah Li, she should've been to prison so many times like it was all so unrealistic and it shouldn't of taken till the very end to regain her memories that's not even reasonable. Barcelona and all the flashbacks absolutely meaningless, Luo Chen another psychopath, I honestly thought he was going to be the one to solve the mystery but he was just useless and annoying I didn't get his deal at all. I liked this drama because it kept me interested but it was rather frustrating, I would like a S2 solely for the purpose of rewriting a better story that makes sense because there's no way a man who I don't know (Hansen) can tell me "Oh yeah I actually found you long ago but I was so infatuated with you that I didn't even bother to try to find your family or friends, instead I wanted to wear you down so you'd marry me, I don't care if you ever loved me", and me being like "Oh ok, let's go back to Barcelona." Meanwhile the love of my life and my mother who have mourned me and my father for years I leave them without a word? Who would do that? That makes no sense and then in the end He Ping goes to Barcelona to see her and they have a silent conversation with their eyes and she thinks "He Ping, I missed you." Girl what??? So a S2 is definitely in order or a remake of this drama because it was good but also extremely awful. I don't blame the actors they could only do so much with this script, I wish I could've taken part in writing the adaptation of the book, it would've certainly turned out better than this.

WHAT THE F*$K WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE, I CAN'T BELIEVE I WAITED TWO YEARS FOR THIS!
"If you can't be with the one you love, be with the one that is nice to you." That is basically what S2 of Love Alarm was about. I have no idea what everyone else is talking about, but Jojo should not have been in a romantic relationship of any kind until she unpacked the trauma she endured from her parents suicide and from the mistreatment of her aunt and cousin. The drama didn't even pick up where it left off for one, for two Jojo broke up with Sunho because she felt she was cursed, so why did she enter a relationship with Hye-Yeong?Also, this whole "Jojo liked Hye-Yeong all along", is complete nonsense because she didn't even know he existed until she started dating Sunho nor that he had feelings for her until the very end of S1. Also this whole, "Hye-Yeong has loved and been there for Jojo all along", UM NO HE LITERALLY WASN'T SUNHO WAS, HYE-YEONG WAS A COWARD WHO DIDN'T EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS AND THEN WHEN HE DID, IT WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS BESTFRIEND, IT WAS UNDERHANDED AND DIRTY! He knew how much Sunho loved Jojo, Sunho asked him repeatedly if he had feelings for her, and Hyeong DENIED IT EACH AND EVERY TIME! He's the worst kind of friend! AND IT IS FITTING BECAUSE HYE- YEONG LOOKS LIKE THE WEASEL THAT HE IS!
But I digress, moving on... Three, Duk-Ju and his partnership with the CEO/ Face of the company was not properly explained nor did it make sense why Love Alarm would not comply with the police in order to catch a literal serial killer.
Four, speaking of serial killers, the homicide/ group suicides were not discussed enough, actually it was barely discussed at all. Neither was Jojo's parents suicide/ homicide attempt. Five, the chemistry between Jojo and Hye-Yeong is still giving brother/ sister/ bestie vibes, not lover vibes, those "I love yous" sounded more like "I care for you", which is sweet but it's very different. And if she's over Sunho then why is she still so emotional over him every time she sees him? If it's really her choice not to love him then why still rely on the APP still? Both Jojo and Hye-Yeong relied on the APP to tell them their feelings just as much as Sunho did, yet Sunho is the only one that was honest about it.
Six, Duk-Ju and Jojo's heinous cousin, that story line also made no sense and neither did the sudden dynamic flip between Jojo's aunt and cousin. Seven, I don't understand why Jojo still lived with them when it's clear, she could have afforded her own space and how she claimed that she wouldn't run anymore yet, she was still running away from her problems and chose the safe choice which is Hye-Yeong, who she again, should not have been with in the first place (romantically), if she felt she was so undeserving and cursed.
So it's ok to potentially kill or ruin Hye-Yeong's life but not Sunho? Doesn't that kind of drill in the fact of who she actually loves and wants to be with but is just to cowardly to be with? I think it does. Eight and final point. S2 was a complete, nonsensical waste of time. Truthfully, all Jojo did was settle which made Sunho settle and to me that is far worse, dragging two innocent people into toxicity because you're too cowardly to fight for the life you want with the one you truly love.
Love Alarm S2 was a complete joke. I sincerely hope this is some type of dumb alternative ending or a dream sequence and that it gets renewed for a S3. Even if she does end up again with Hye-Yeong in the end, make it make sense. Make it be endearing and not like Hye-Yeong is some afterthought, second choice, safe choice, stand in and the same goes for Sunho's rebound. Because both deserve better than that. This season was heinous, I heard the webtoon ended the same, which for some reason upsets me even more. - Dassit.

S2 PLEASE!
I love J Dramas and this J Drama is IT! The acting, the actors, the music, the characters, the story! I love it all! This J Drama is completely refreshing, it's not taking itself too serious and the chemistry between the two leads is cohesive and undeniable, I LOVE Shanai Marriage Honey! It so deserves a S2! Make it an anime too! It's so good, I love that it's not so complex, the build up isn't dragged out, the intimate scenes are tastefully done yet erotic, I am truly enjoying this series! Thank you Irozuku for subbing in ENG as I continue to learn the language, I am super grateful to everyone that takes time out of their day to sub episodes for those of us, whose first language is English, it means a lot! I see they added another episode and extended the completion date, so a total of 8 episodes is what we will be getting, but I wouldn't mind if it was 12! :)Esta resenha foi útil para você?
