#LoveAlarm #좋아하면울리는

This was a binge for both s1 and s2. A #kdrama so truthful and so insightful when it comes to relationships. The leads grow together with their feelings. The teenage passion your body can't resist to, the cage of emotional unavailability we need to overcome, the safety of a less consuming love and above all the arbitrary choice we consciously make to finally express our true selves.

Removing half point because of too many flashbacks.

I watched this near the beginning of my kDrama journey so I wasn't keeping notes. But I did love it - cried buckets - a great kiss too.

Now that I know more about the culture, I want to watch it again, but don't know that my heart could take it.

Made me look for Song Kang's other work.

Oh, I've heard some hate for this show because not everyone liked the ending but I have plenty of time to watch #SongKang acting in anything, especially while he's away doing military service. His range is pretty amazing. $kdrama

@EllenInEdmonton @whoosh actually I was a bit reluctant to start it because it doesn't have high ratings on MDL, but Netflix said it's a 98% match, so I trusted Netflix and I was right to do so.

I think many people don't like change of hearts. They believe in a one and true love and apparently they didn't go through puberty, youth, they don't have hormones, they can't relate to someone with a traumatic past and present, and so on 😂

@s1m0n4 @whoosh
I appreciate second-chance and change-of-heart love stories but they aren't the most popular genre in Korea. The "one true love" narrative is lovely but for most of us, our "first love" was an impractical crush!

@EllenInEdmonton @s1m0n4

I know I'm skewed on this because I did meet my husband when I was 16 - but I know that's not usual or normal.

I did date 1 guy before him, but I never fell in love with him, so my husband is my 1st love. Just thought the other guy was great because he was charismatic & popular. I quickly learned my lesson & looked for much better ( & found it) the second time.

@whoosh @s1m0n4
But I think that's the point. Most of us need more than one try to find "true love" and it seems to me it would be very hard to find in the Korean culture where casual dating isn't really a thing and folks don't easily meet new people to interact with. All cultures are different and we tend to think that our own does things "the right way" but I'm glad that I got to have a bit of an interesting dating life before settling down.

@whoosh I cried a bit during the last episode too. The FL story is heartbreaking 😭 but I'm very satisfied by the ending.

I can definitely see myself rewatching it in future!
Loved it 💜

@s1m0n4 I really liked both seasons of that, too!
