Closure for Love Alarm that can feel confusing but also right at the same time
Hi, this is my first review, so hopefully everything feels okay to read. I'm doing it spoiler free and posting a comment that contains my full thoughts with spoilers.
Love Alarm Season 1 was the first K/Asian Drama i ever watched so it has a special place to me.
-Story
Although the story can be a bit confusing at times (mainly ep6 for me), the overall plot gives closure on the open-ended ending of season 1 for all the characters whether it is in the way you hoped or not. One concept this Drama plays with a lot is keeping you on your toes guessing who she will end up with in the end.
I feel like for the best viewer experience you should be watching this straight after finishing season 1. Unlike most other people who have been waiting for 2 years pondering on what would actually happen.
-Acting/Cast
The actors for the 2 male leads were great and definitely felt like the same old as season 1. I did feel that the female lead (Kim So Hyun/Kim Jo Jo) did give a slight different vibe, but that could be atoned to her character maturing.
Other notables are Gul Mi and Duk Goo, especially Duk Goo his visuals have gone up a ton.
Overall acting was great and I think everyone portrayed their roles in a good way.
-Music
The OST from what I could tell was mostly reused and had 1 or 2 new songs in there if I'm not wrong.
I Loved the OST and even ended up on my Top Songs 2019 on Spotify.
-Cinematography
Nothing notable and not bad either. Just what you would expect from a good film crew but nothing standout.
-Would I recommend this Drama?
Yes if you watched Season 2 no matter what your expectations are, closure is good, rather this than the open end of Season 1. The story keeps you on your toes and makes you wonder who she will end up with which is a big part of this drama as people were pondering over this for 2 years already and kept on doing it for most of these 6 episodes. The Music is great, the actors did their part.
-Rewatch Value
Would I rewatch this? No, I always saw rewatch value in season 1, but now having also watched season 2 there is nothing inside me that tells me that I would want to rewatch this.
It gets a 7 /10 from me as I liked it, but it had a lot more room to perhaps at least be 8 episodes to give the side characters some more developed stories.
