Love Alarm Season 2

 "Love Alarm Season 2" is a 2021 series in Netflix which stars Kim So Hyun as Kim Jo-jo, Song Kang as Hwang Sun Oh and Jung Ga Ram as Lee Hye Young. It is about a society which is influenced by a mobile application called Love Alarm. The users of the application can find love because they are notified of the people who are attracted to them within  the 10 meter radius.  

   In Season 1, the female lead, Kim Jo-jo, befriended the developer of the application named Cheon Duk Gu who granted her wish to create a shield for her to hide her feelings. There were two classmates who liked her namely Hwang Sun Oh, a rich kid with a problematic family and Lee Hye Young, Sun Oh's childhood friend whose mother worked as a maid in Sun Oh's household. At that time, both Jo-jo and Sun Oh had feelings for each other but because Sun Oh's alarm didn't ring when Jo-jo was near him, Season 1 ended with him thinking that Jo-jo didn't like him. 

   The last episode of Season 1 was definitely a cliffhanger. If I had known that I had to wait a long time before Season 2 would be released, I wouldn't have watched it. In Season 1, I rooted for Jo-jo and Sun Oh. Hye Young was that second male lead who had unrequited love. 

    I finally watched the first 2 episodes of Season 2 a few days ago and it got me thinking that this might be like the korean drama, Start Up.  Was this another heartbreaker like Ji Pyeong and Dal Mi's relationship? Why was the first episode more into Kim Jo-jo and Lee Hye Young's relationship?

   Good thing I started browsing twitter after that.... SPOILER ALERT!!! I found out that Jo-jo and Hye Young ended up together, Hye Young wasn't the second male lead after all. Episode 1 of Season 2 gave a different vibe actually because after watching it, I was rooting for Jo-jo and Hye Young already. It was a relief for me because that meant I could go on watching the rest of the series without the heavy heart.  

   I'm so sorry, Sun Oh. Why depend so much on the Love Alarm application ? That was so shallow! 

  Sun Oh spent four years thinking about Jo-jo. He wasn't able to move on but he never confronted her. He totally missed his chance,
